Okay, so after going on a shopping spree I'll have six fuzzes on my board (if you include the built in fuzz in the DBA ED2). The other pedals are: Walrus Deep Six compressor, Red Panda Context, Mission engeneering VM-Pro and SS/BS No Memory (incoming). I've somehow tricked myself into thinking that I don't like modulating effects or filters, when in fact I think that it is something that I'd really like to play around with, and that my negative thoughts about them come from my lack of knowledge about said pedals. I enjoy making strange soundscapes, ambient sounding music and what I'd might call fuzz chaos. For well known band I enjoy the sound of A place to Bury Strangers, Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Boris, Skywave, Sigur Ros, Smashing Pumpkins etc.

I've got room for one really big pedal (memory man size), two mediums (Fuck size) or three smalls.

Who's got any pointers or pedal tips for me?

Rainbow Machine

Get a flanger

Might be cool to get one of those new Zoom pedals, that have a ton of different effects on them, so you can do a lot with a little bit of space

Zoom CDR70 is awesome for lots of shit in a tiny package.

But since you mentioned Boris and APTBS, I would suggest some kind of wah/filter. Wilson Freaker could be magic for you. Wah before and after fuzz can do crazt shit.

My vote is still for the Cyber Psychic But some kinda multieffect thingy might be cool too. Isn't the Flanger Hoax kinda kewl?

Oh yeah! I have one and they are pretty cool
Diddly sometimes but once you set up presets and get used to it it's pretty easy

Also just got a freaker which is rad

For most of my mod and freaky sounds I use an old Korg ax1000g multi fx through a feedback looper. Great sounding effects. quite a lot of them, and its built like a tank. Large footprint though. Paid a lot of money back when they were new, but they are cheap as chips now. Might be a good cheap option to see what you would like and go from there.

Tremolo
univibe/phaser
Pitch shifter (like maybe a really glitchy octave)
Something with an oscillator? Loud Button WTF maybe.

BitQuest?

Definitely an awesome pedal. But in this case awesomeness = priceyness

I'll check out some demos. Thanks!

I've never really digged wah by itself. Got any songs that show of this magic of wah+fuzz? :surprise:

Keep 'em coming, boys! (TWSS)

anything with 4 knobs or more
for really high end it seems you cant beat the subdecay starlight dlx
but i dearly miss my boss bf2 which is cheap, versatile and common

i think ryan is coming out with the production model bitquests very soon!

I'll actually second the rainbow machine
It has a great chorus setting and with the magic switch you get some cool feedback/oscillation/swooshes
I saw it as a gimmick at first and sold it twice but now it's one of my favorites.

Jimi Hendrix, Machine Gun from Band of Gypsies Live at the Filmore East.
Killer song for fuzz and wah!

Yeah, I love the chorusy sound from it and I don't even like chorus.

I can get feedbacky stuff out of it even without the magic switch.

I borrowed jrmy's thinking I wouldn't really be able to use it, but ended up really liking it. Wouldn't've though that unless I tried it.
