I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.
It wasn't even true bypass, how could Jimi be so dumb?

I guess a Big Muff. I prefer the Way Huge Swollen Pickle which is pretty cheap on the used market.
Guys. Seriously?

Come on.

YOU DIDN'T READ MY OP CAREFULLY ENOUGH! Obviously most clubs mic your shit anyway.

I mean...

It's a totally different story if you take a look at his P&W board.
I think there's a link somewhere...

:lol:

And yeah if I was heavily touring, unless I was doing it like a "big" band with lots of roadies in nice venues, I'd definitely try to use common, cheap pedz as much as possible for the replacability and less worry about them getting stolen/broken.

I buy the good shit for home and the fun of trying stuff out, but I could get by with common pedals very easily.

Yeah. I was going to say it seems like at a certain level of 'big' your stuff starts getting moved to racks with remote switching, etc etc.

No I got the reference...but for the sake of change, I figured I'd give a legit answer, for those who aren't members that won't understand the typical inside joke responses threads here turn into.

I gotta say some of the cheapest pedals can be musical in the right context... see tera melos. I think variety is more important than anything, especially when making loop based stuff. There is alot to be said for simple boutique pedalboards and often a boutiqish fuzz paired with a delay is plenty of fun, especially when you know you have stuff in a drawer that you could employ at anytime....

These vids where great thanks

i don't think the musical value or legitness of anything is tied to the monetary value of it.

i do think tho that the more you spend the higher your expectations will be, and thus harder to meet or exceed those expectations.

Was this a revelation or something??? Pedals are pedals they don't play themselves; yet...

I'm confused. If I don't spend a lot of money on expensive boutique pedals, how am I supposed to feel superior to other people? :idk:

Please advise.
