Cheap pedulz for feedback loopage?

Post by jrmy »

So, I've finally arrived at the feedback loop party (I know, I know... late as usual), and holy smokes is this stuff fun! At the moment, I've been getting some interesting results from using modulation (mostly flange & chorus), and am wanting more. MOAR FEEDBACKS!!!

Can anyone out there suggest cool & cheap pedals to throw into a feedback loop?

Has anyone tried tremolo in a FB loop? It strikes me as the sort of thing that could be unexpectedly cool...

I have rid myself of my modulation since getting my CCB and it's sucky, because that's when they shine. I imagine the tremolo would be similar to the utter stutter...but do not know.

Interesting... I may have to check those out. Anyone tried 'em?

Yes. it's fun (especially right before an auto-filter/wah). But, as far as cheap stuff goes, the Tuna Melt SUCKS.... the chop is WAY too fucking soft for my liking, and it really can't handle hot signals for shit... the later being the most damning aspect for me... I want it to sound like a mute switch when a hit the tremolo, YOU FUCKS!

I had problems getting a hard chop from it just playing a guitar...

also, why not use what you have?

Boutique pedulzzzz.

I promise, they won't break... as long as you don't do something incredibly stupid/irresponsible with mixer connections, there's really nothing to worry about, especially if you just use a regular stereo-out pedal as the return (meaning no mixer in the equation at all).

Oh, it's not that I worry 'bout what I gots or about damaging my nicer pedals... it's that I want to get new stuff to experiment with and I ain't gots the cash on hand for better purchases right now. Basically, I'm cheap & impatient...
:picard:

Now that I think of it, though, I haven't tried my Wolf Computer in a feedback loop yet... I bet that'll make some squeally funtimes!

Ah, that makes sense... Well... have a look at those Johnson pedals (and maybe read reviews on Noiseguide)... I had the EAD-2 delay until I fucked it up. My first pedal, and I liked it a lot.

and, of course, BEHRINGER... I really wanted the Harmonist/Pitch Shifter knock-off before getting a Boss PS-5 in a trade... I still kind of want to try one for a backup/extra... that, and the Filter whatchacallit doo-dah and SYB clone.

Can't get much cheaper than the Behringer FX600.

$22 (ebay)

Good trem, good flanger, good chorus, good delay. And it's dual channels!




But yeah, weak phaser, messed up pitch shifter, but that can be cool.
