Pedal Suggestions

Post by nieh »

Right now my pedalboard is two big muffs and a holier grail :facepalm:

I don't really have much use for delays or wahs or those types of pedals. So does anyone have any sugestions for pedals? I prefer less expensive pedals (because I'm cheap) and true-bypass.

And I could always use more fuzz. :omg:

Phaser, but only on the slow parts.
Small stone is a good start.

+1 for the small stone, umm you can't go wrong with a tuner.... right? :idk:

However, I say don't limit yourself and try out other effects just to see if you like them. This will also help you branch out in music variety and help with creating new stuff. :thumb:

I'm going to deviate slightly from the phaser crowd and say a flange effect of some sort.

Or maybe a compression or sustain pedal.

I'm sorry I'm not good on specific brands, but that's why I'm here, to learn. The only flanger I've ever had hasn't been made since the 80's and I just happened to get it in exchange for a bag of weed.

EDIT: I just thought I'd add: You can never not need a wah!!!

It has the initials KAB scratched into the back which is not the person I got it from so :idk: Shit the pedal is older than I am.

Maybe you want an EQ pedal or something that could boost/scoop your mids or add a little bite to that fuzzed out sound.

I'd reccomend an EHX Stereo electric mistress, it's a chorus and a flanger in one, or a EHX Worm or something. I'd check our R&D's chorus pedal, it is the mightiest CE-2 clone ever.

I'm a big fan of the versatility of flanger. A good one will cop chorus, 'vibe, and tremolo tones when set right.

I love the smell of solder in the morning.

Never heard a flanger that didn't make me want to set fire to it, throw it under a bus, then piss on the broken charred remains. Same with chorus.

Phasers OTOH :joy: :joy: :joy:

Small Stone's cool, the Whirlwind Orange box is an excellent Phase 90 (much better than the MXR RIs and super cheap)(EDIT: Talk to NewarkWilder, last I looked he had one for sale dirt cheap too).
My favourite is the huge Maestro PS-1A though.

EHX Small Stone You heard it before
Boss PS-2 or PS-3 Cause I dig Pitch Shifters, they can give you weird choruses, glitches, metal bouble guitarsolo's, octaving, harmonizing.. And these 2 even some shitty delays :lol:
