Suggest me a pedal.

Post by Static »

Hello.

Just started gigging with my band and I want to get more noise/ weird shit from my guitar when playing live. At the moment its a kind of post-punk/ shoegaze/ stonery sound. As it stands I have an old Great Wall for fuzz, and for more noise I tend to oscillate my memory boy and dd3 and used saved settings on my Memory Man with Hazarai (and looping etc). I also have an overdrive and tremolo but they don't do much. I'm ideally looking for some more unique oscillations, maybe another fuzz which covers a different tone from the great wall and could be used together for more static (get it?). Are there any good (budget/ cheapish) modulated stompboxes which oscillate?

I'd appreciate any suggestions. My main concern is boardspace, otherwise I'd probably go with a flanger hoax. I'm also in the UK.

Thanks.

Ampeg Scrambler clone for the win!!!

Its a sonic death wall of sounds.....usable with everything set under 12oclock, then past that its a monster.

around £100 give or take, depending on capabilities/ diversity of the pedal.

Hmm... Does your GW oscillate? Yeah for more noise/crazyness a octave up fuzz might be really cool... Or you could get something like a Dwarfcraft Devices THE GREAT DESTROYER :animal: , I've always wanted one of those.

It kind of does. When you dial the fuzz past 1 o'clock you start to get static splutterings/ white noise when nothing is playing, but its not much. I know its the same but I was going to get a micro pog for more ocatves/ weirder sounds, too. The ampeg scrambler maybe something I should look into. I can't find any uk suppliers for Dwarfcraft which is a pain.

Too bad... Yeah I hear you, anytime I want something from fucking japan it is always a ton of $$$ for shipping and crap.

Octaves eh... Pogs are kul, MXR blue Boxes are supper fun and cheap :thumb:

Blue box!! That's an idea. I've actually ordered a micro pog- I know it ain't the same, but its the start of an octave empire and it'll get me some more weird sounds.

Shin Ei fuzz is tits when boosted and cranked.

Mid-Fi Clarinot is shoegaze fuzz in a box.

if you want something that will work well with the great wall and get you some nice splattery oscillations you can ask tom at fuzzhugger to make you a custom algal bloom oscillator. he might do it... :cool:

the year4545 from smallsound/bigsound is pretty crazy and well priced! :joy:

cant go wrong with one of these... http://fuzzhugger.com/dwarfcraft.html :duck:

Wow. That artwork on the top left one is just awesome. I think I'm settling on the idea of a new and ridiculous fuzz but I'm not sure what yet. I found the website/ store 'crush the button' which I am just trawling through right now.
