A Bender would probably be pretty rad for what you're looking for. It seems to work well with chords. I don't really know what's good though. The Tone Reaper seems like a solid choice

Sounds familiar..... definately can cop shoegazey tones, more interesting than most muffs, imho. Just add reverb and stir...
Anybody try out a blunderbuss, gazey?

Blunderbuss could probably be gazey if you cranked the mids, it'd have some cut and saw that way

all of them at the same time

God Dammit!!! I looked through the whole thread to make sure no one had said it and there it is, the last post.


Yeah, but Rat > Fuck > Memory Boy > Supermoon is pretty cool

How are you liking it? Working out alright for you I hope?

I really liked the sound of that pedal. I'm gonna try doing an MKI now

Hey wehuntkings, you really really really need to try the Huger. You would absolutely love it! I have made this offer to you before but if you would want to do a temp trade and try it out i would be totally down.

oh yeah! i would love to, i just don't need anymore gas right now...

is there something you really wanna try out that i have?

but to be on topic, i do think that playing style is the most important thing for shoegaze. which means open tunings forever.

i'll think about it! I tuned my guitar all strings to C and the highest was C# and i came up with some really unique, wildly fuzzzzzed out toanz. I played around with whacky picking techniques and it kind of changed the way I play guitar when I want to gaze the day away!

I use my Umiom->TAFM. DON'T EVEN NEED WARBLES. JUST BEND DEM STRINGS.

THIS IS WHY THERE ARE TREM ARMS ON JAZZMASTERS, PEOPLE

Yeah my Bukowski bender is real nice. The third knob, it is some kind of bias control, it keeps things interesting. I can get traditional tones and when I tweak it a little it can get more interesting....Shame I have to use a battery, but from what others have told me this is a normal condition of the MKII circuit...Either way I am happy with the little guy...thank you kindly!

TREM ARM + WARBLZ > JUST TREM ARM BRO.

So the guitarist in the shoegaze band I'm in used the algal bloom a lot today, and it sounded perfect for everything we were doing. Whether it was a hazy crunch or a piercing howl for solos, it just made sense for all of the weird open tuning jangly stuff and the scrambled power chord riffs.

The Algal Bloom is such a great pedal. Everyone I've let play mine is blown away by how versatile it is, and how awesome it is at so many different settings.
