montgomery Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 since im not a really big effects person, i wanted to see what people thought of my order and maybe thought i could receive some advice to improve it. Guitar > Boss TU-2 > Boss acoustic simulator > Boss BF-3 > E.H. Small Clone > Boss PH-3 > Boss DD-6 > amp i have reverb on my current amp at school, but at home i usually throw a E.H. holy grail in the mix.

cheddatom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 That's exactly how i'd have them. Although another delay would be nice, and i'd have some dirt pedals at the start, but I doubt that's your cup of tea! Also, wah and volume are almost essential IMO.

cheddatom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well, I suppose Wah is more of a preference than essential, but I can't think of any styles of music that wouldn't demand (or at some point require, in my opinion) a wah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hmmmm, you don't like Matt Bellamy's wah use? What is post rock? And why don't they need wahs? Wah only sounds cheesy if you use it badly. Often, I like to use it as more of an "eq sweep", or just to create noise, with dirt and delay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wah only sounds cheesy if you use it badly. Often, I like to use it as more of an "eq sweep", or just to create noise, with dirt and delay etc. Post-rock (ack I hate that name) is mostly neo-classical like-structured instrumental music. Where the guitars are generally more used for their sonic qualities at like landscaping then riffs and shit. And they do use wah pedals so that's bollocks. Mono, Godspeed, Explosions, all use wah at some point. I agree with wah only sounding cheesy if it's use in a cliche "wacka-wacka" porn-fuck way. I agree with the eq-sweep, I use that a lot too.

montgomery Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 what delay pedal do you recommend, i liked the memory man, i just never got around to buying it. also i used to have a volume pedal but sold it so i could buy a thd hotplate. i will probably get another soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I agree with wah only sounding cheesy if it's use in a cliche "wacka-wacka" porn-fuck way. That's not cheesy! Porn funk is the sexiest music ever, and it would never have happened without the wah pedal. I agree with the eq-sweep, I use that a lot too. Yeh, my wah probe is really good at this.

cheddatom Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The wah probe works great on bass, but I only run about 35% of my signal through it atm. This works really well, but i'm not doing it "to retain low end", the wah probe does actually sound great 100% on bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMachine™ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 whammy or delay first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 whammy or delay first? Surely it's obvious what the difference will be? Most people would have Whammy first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMachine™ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 just thought you might be able to mess with the delays rather than the original signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well either, you want your pitch bending to be repeated by the delay, like matt bellamy, or you want the delays pitch bended. If I had a whammy, i'd probably have a delay either side of it, as it'd be cool to build up a delay with lots of feedback and then bend it down with a whammy.

JimMachine™ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've messed around with both, usually with the whammy first. Someone suggested putting the delay first to get a sunburn solo kind of tone, it seemed more accurate than delay first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a delay with an fx loop in the feedback path.. Imagine the repeats getting progressively higher ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If you have a delay with a dry and wet outs, you could put a whammy after the wet out and hook the dry out to something and do just that. Can't remember who does it, but they modify DD3's to have a loop. might be worth a search on google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 That's a fiendish idea!!! I cheated though - I used to have a multifx that did exactly that but I've been unable to find the analogue equivilent ! If you have a delay with a dry and wet outs, you could put a whammy after the wet out and hook the dry out to something and do just that. Can't remember who does it, but they modify DD3's to have a loop. might be worth a search on google Nah cos that would only put the repeats up one octave - I want each feedback-repeat to be an octave higher than the last - also if you used other stuff, it would progressively build up and probably sound amazing as each repeat is progressively more phased/flanged/chorused/trem'd (would make some amazing pseudo-random patterns if the delay and trem weren't lined up)/bitcrushed/etc !

haze015 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I've got... ZVEX fuzz factory Boss DS-2 Dunlop Crybaby Behringer EQ best order? wah, FF, DS2, EQ (i love the way wah pedals cause the fuzz factory to go mental, but if that's not for you, then just swap them around) anyway, lets see what you lot would do with this lot: boss bf2 flanger boss od3 overdrive boss tr2 tremolo boss ps2 pitchshifter/delay catalinbread semaphore tremolo (getting this soon, can't wait) digitech whammy effector 13 torn's peaker fuzz electro harmonix memory man delay electro harmonix big muff fuzz electro harmonix small stone phaser marshall echohead delay proco rat distortion (modified for more bass and less gain) zvex fuzz probe also once i get a better sound card for my laptop, i'll probably end up running my guitar through that aswell for various effects like bitcrushing and various step effects, plus i'll have the whammy hooked up to it, got 4 midi outs to play with, so might as well.

Jabnit Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hey im gonna have some pictures of my sequence pedal soon. Only pics of the circuit board though, but some people may be interested in that. I'll stick em on "pictures of your gear" thread. The guy building it is gonna put a Tone control on the cuircuit and see if it makes good use, due to the tracking problem I mentioned. Should have some demo's soon too. omgz jon ur baps r super bounce-tastic :supertong /wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
