MPhipps Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 What do you think is the best guitar effects box, stomp box what have you.... Place you vote... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I can't vouch for what is the best...just what I personally use... Ibanez Tube Screamer Danelectro Chorus Boss Tremelo Tha-ba tha-ba That's all, folks... Oh yeah. I need a Cry Baby. I've never been much of an effects guy...and effects are dependant upon what you want to do with them. A thrash dude will want something different than a jazz or blues dude...

Hippie Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I like best just a good class a amp and no effects, other than onboard reverb & overdrive, but for gigging I usually take with me a Boss chorus pedal(the old light blue analog model) and an old Boss analog delay pedal. The older ones seem to have a fatter sound, albeit a tad noiser. In two days, it won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip_dup1 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I`m still experimenting...I recently saw some boxes from a group called Human Gear-anybody heard of em? Effects are fun, but most people turn em up too high-I like them to be just there in the mix, but still have the original tone. Here in Japan I`m using a zoom 505-serves okay for now. stateside i have an ART rackmount-lotsa cool sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrock1san.rr.com Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I love chorus. I keep the effect level really low so it's pretty subtle. I own a few of them but use the Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble the most. Spring reverb is actually the BEST effect.....how could anyone disagree ?

rog951 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 My old '70s gigantic orange AC-powered DOD flanger. It's got the SLOWEST sweep ever and the DEEPEST flange imaginable. It just barely edges out my '70's MXR "Van Halen" flanger and my E.H. Electric Mistress. I must love flangers cuz I just went downstairs and counted 10 of 'em spead around on the floor... None more black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel E. Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I'm liking My Voodoo Lab Tremolo pedal and my ZVEX Super Hard-On pedal right now. The tremolo sounds a lot like the trem from a vintage Fender and the Super Hard-On just makes everything sound better. Both have true bypass switching.

Mile Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Had pedals...lots of them. But there was always problem with changing the batteries and finding power cord on stage. So I switched to multi FX unit. Because I loved Boss pedals I bought Boss Fx-700. I made my own settings and patch it in fx loops. It can be arguable if the sound of stomp box is better than multi FX unit... It worked fine for me in combination with half stack Marshall and now with Flextone II. If it sounds god, just play the darn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSanders Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I had a Univox fuzz tone that always impressed me as a kid. It was like instant Star Spangled Banner when you stepped on it. I'd buy another one if I ran into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Jew Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Hi... My favorite effect is a cable. It effectively connects my guitar to my amp. If I can't do it with my Les Paul or my SG and my Marshall, I don't think I wanna do it.

Submersible Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 I'd find it hard to have the strength to continue living without a delay of some kind. Right now, I'm extra-digging the big green Line 6 delay modeller. As for other effects, I can get most of the flavors and textures I need from overdrive, wah, and tremelo. Everything else is just icing on the cake for me. My favorite overdrive has to be the Fulldrive II, but a modified TS-9 served me well before I got the Fulldrive.

jef5f Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 The best effects are the pure accidents of sound. A vibrato you pulled off without trying, or a glich in the amp, etc. I love the chorus, the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone. Then anything TubeScreamer like.

Marso Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 I love stomp boxes, so, for the moment I am using: z-vex super hard on, line-6 delay modeler, mini Dano tremolo, expandora (o.k. but not perfect), ts-10 (same as ts-9 without the vintage look), boss digital chorus. I miss my old Supa tone bender by colorsound (circa 70) and my t.c. chorus that got both stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PretentiousName Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Digitech's whammy technology. There's just so much you can do with it, and barely any of it's being explored outside of Tom Morello, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai. The Line 6 filter box looks promising, but I haven't heard that one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 d.gauss nailed it! Reverb Slapback Tremolo I would maybe add a good Tube Compressor/Limiter Everything else,(and I use them too), diminishes the tone of the guitar/amp combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
