batterypowered Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Self-explanatory. Just wondering what everybody likes here. My pedals, right now (not all connected at once... yet): BOSS DS-1 distortion E-H Big Muff fuzz BOSS DD-3 digital delay BOSS OC-2 octave pedal (though I WANT one of the new OC-3s... full polyphonic octaves, as opposed to single notes ) BOSS PH-3 phaser (which I hardly ever use, but it's fun to play with) Crybaby wah Morley volume pedal They've all served me pretty well. I really like BOSS. They're just really well made, and always seem to have exactly what I want. I need to get an overdrive and a reverb pedal, and I think I just might be getting a tuner pedal (super handy) for Xmas. Fingers crossed. Anyone have any opinions? Love/hate/general apathy for a specific pedal or manufacturer? General suggestion, prehaps? Cheers! Ethan twoblock.net batterypowered.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 It's all good. I like Boss too. I think they have the best designed pedals. Not necessarily the best sounding, but price per tone you can't go wrong. TU-2 Tuner -> Keeley modded DS-1/Metal Zone/BD-2 Blues Driver -> Boss EQ -> BF-3 Flanger -> CH-1 Chorus -> RV-3 Reverb/Digital Delay I love the Keeley mod DS-1, and the new BF-3 Flanger is the best flanger I've ever heard. I get great vintage and cutting edge tones with it. I'm thinking of getting the BD-2 modded by Keeley, as I am very happy with the DS-1 results. Anyone own one of these or used one? Shut up and play.

Corner Pocket Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I like the analog delay a lot. I bought it new 15 or 16 years ago, when the DD1 or DD2 digital delay came out. The local music store let me take 'em both home for the weekend. I prefer the analog delay because each successive repeat decays in quality; they are not perfect but quieter replica like the digital delay of that era. That's my preference, others may vary differing opinions. Paul Peace, Paul ---------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alguit Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 My guitars first go into a Whirlwing Selector, then either to a Fulltone Fulldrive or a Blackstone Mosfet, next into a Demeter Compulator and Demeter Fat Control, a Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere, Fulltone Supa-Trem, Korg Dynamic Echo and finally a E-H Holy Grail reverb pedal. Everything is powered by a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielT Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I run my guitar through a Dunlop Original Cry Baby and a Pro-Co Turbo Rat, and I run a Yamaha DG-Stomp (effects only) in the effects loop. The DG has great sounding and easy to program effects but I use it primarily because it has tap tempo capability. I used to use all Boss pedals on a homemade board and then a Digitech multi pedal but the Yamaha is more versatile than the board and sounds much better than the Digitech.

strat0124 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I don't have one, but have been wanting to build a little one. All I have pedal wise is a Boss SD-1, Boss Stereo Ensemble Chorus, Boss Volume-wah, an old Rat, and an old Big Muff Pi. I'd like to have a Tremlo pedal of some kind. But you'd have to buy one of those power supplies too I guess. Probably another of the reasons I rarely use pedals!

coyote Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I used to use a number of effects when I was a lead guitarist. Flanger, delay, distortion, occasional chorus.... now I'm playing keys and some guitar and the only effect I really use anymore is the Boss Super Feedback/Distortion pedal. Helps me get those liquidy backing lines. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist.

I'd like to have a Tremolo pedal of some kind. Geenard, My home-made tremolo sounds a lot like the trem in a Blackface Fender (to me. I'm using the same neon/LDR type setup as the Fender). I can draw up a schematic for you if you want, or I could wire a circuit board up for you. It uses two 8-pin chips, one LM741 amplifier and a 555 timer. The gain of the 741 is set at 5 so you can get a little boost if desired, and the trem has a good range, from slow to fast. There's no depth control though, but one could be included easily enough.

Green657 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I get crap from the "purists" for having the ME-50 (being a multi-effects pedal). But I don't listen. It's a great pedal that does a whole bunch of cool things, without going overboard. Plus it is supremely easy to use (for a doofus like me).
