Delay + fuzz for feedback loop

Post by Somnus »

Ok guys, so i need some help picking an economical/cheap delay and a devi ever fuzz to put into the feedback loop of my SP AE..any recommendations?

How does the destructo Noctavia sound in a feedback loop?

My best guess is that any octave up fuzz like the destructo noctavia will get real thin and whiny real fast in a feedback loop. Just a guess based on my experience putting fuzz in the loop. I've had good results with delay and low pass filters. A compressor can be pretty cool, too.

Really chaotic fuzzes like the DN are going to be rather unpredictable in a feedback loop. It's the oscillation - does odd things.

Umm, is there any fuzz/overdrive/distortion pedal that is more controllable in a feedback loop?

Any given pedal in the devi feedback loop can be controlled by turning the feedback knob.
So when you have your extreme fuzz in the loop, dial the pedal down a little and dial the feedback down a little and suddenly you have a fuzz that is the same in intensity (or less in some cases), but infinitely different in textural possibilities. Like someone said in another thread, less is more.
I have found the most crazy tones in devi pedals when I'm trying to make them do less fuzz.

Boss delay pedals all work well with feedback loop in my E13 TBD pedal...dd pedals,that is...and digitech digidelay works great,it can't oscillate on its own,but it gets into awesome oscillation in the feedback loop,great control via photo eye! :thumb:

I need my delays to roll off the high end on repeats,so i don't like/use any of those pedals.But they work really great in feedback loop!

Depends what you want it to do.

I didn't really like regular distortions in the loop when I was experimenting - they oscillate but not in the most interesting way - but the noise mode of the SM was fascinating.
