modulation pedal what to do?

Post by NYM osnaps music »

Ok all I'm looking for a quality modulation pedal that covers many effects.

My other pedals are DMB Custom Shop Dual Drive, Fulltone 69 fuzz, Wampler Ego Compressor, Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe 2, Dunlop Volume, Joe Bonomassa Crybaby, Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine, EHX Ravish Sitar, TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb, TC Electronic Flashback Delay, Digitech Jamman Solo looper.

OK!
TC Electronic Nova Modulator or Eventide Modfactor

I don't care about the money I just want to know what you guys prefer. I don't have space or budget to buy a bunch of standalone stomps. This is to save space and have the convenience of presets.

I really like the dual engine concept of the Nova Mod and it seems very adjustable but the Modfactor also looks cool I'm looking for opinions from people that have owned/used either or both pedals and what you'd go with. Again money isn't a deciding factor.

You seem happy with your other TC products, correct?

I'd go that route as much as Eventide makes nice stuff given the rest of your board.

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

yes I'm very happy and I am very much leaning toward the TC, I love the dual engine concept and the sound quality but since no one locally stocks these I was looking for opinions from users.

Check out the GNI Phaser/Flanger as one starting point.
2 quality effects that can be used independently or together. It's on my main board and I love it.

How big is that phaser flanger Ex? I don't have heaps of real estate but love me some flangers, and a phaser "for free" doesn't sound like a bad deal. You got a pic of your main board somewhere, out of interest?

Also, it's 2 full quality effects - not one effect added in as a bonus. The phaser is also tasty delicious.

the gni looks very cool I have a lot to consider :)

my scales are still tipping in the TC direction the dual engine produces some very cool tones.

Moog Cluster Flux is pretty cool too, though a bit different than the other stuff mentioned above.

well I decided to pull the trigger on the Nova Modulator ebay buy it now of $160 with free shipping. I will report back, but the pedals you guys have suggested definitely gave me much to consider for future purchases. The Moog looks especially neat.

Get a flanger. A decent one. I like the big MXR flanger. You can get flanger, chorus, vibrato, and all kinds of other stuff from it. I love em

just wanted to report back so far I'm absolutely loving the Nova Modulator I can get some very cool sounds with relative ease. I liked it so much I sold my Flashback Delay and ordered a Nova Delay.
