Pedal Effect Poll

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

I like Dunlops (MXR) and Seymour's. I've tried them, boss and line 6 effects, I like the MXR's better.

In my list of wanted pedals I have:

MXR:

Original Wah (Already Have)
Distortion +
Blue Box
Dyna Comp
Phase 100
Flanger
Smart Gate

Seymour:

Twin Tube Mayhem
Pickup Booster
Tweak Fuzz


Yes, I want all that.

I love boss. I have the

Boss ML-2 Metal Core
Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Boss PH-3 Phaser

Morley Bad Horsie 2 (Great wah pedal I recommend it)

I like the Metal Core pedal.  Morley can't be beat when it comes to wahs.  :glasses10:

Yeah I like combining the 2 distortions the get like a nice punchy sound and keep the this sound that the metal core gives.

I voted Boss.  However, It should go down as a no vote.  I primarily play bass and other than a built-in or BBE compressor, a Boss Bass Chorus is my only effect and it gets limited use.  With guitar, I've used DOD and Boss distortion/overdrive effects, but for clean I used a slight chorus and set the reverb on 2 with the amp's built in effects.

I have a Boss ME-20 Multi Effects pedal and a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station.  They're both fun, but I haven't gotten around to really getting good at using the Loop Station yet.  I mostly just practice my normal guitar stuff.  I should play with it more, it does cool things.

 

[DocNrock]

No b/c I'm using 2 amps.

If I'm understanding your 4 cable method.  I know what you're talking about I jsut can't wrap my mind around it at the moment.

I would need some sort of splitter box to do it right with 2 amps.  Or more outputs/ inputs in my gt 10

Guitar -> GT10 input
GT10 send -> amp input
Amp FX loop send -> GT10 return
GT10 output -> Amp FX loop return

Set the order of effects in the GT10 so that the time based FX are in the amp's FX loop (positioned after the GT10 S/R).

Yeah, it'd be kind of tough to do with two amps.

    I'm a big advocate of, "you get what you paid for," and there are so many really great boutique stompbox makers out there now-a-days, that it's hard to narrow it down to just one.

    My current pedals:
1.) Xotic RC Booster
2.) Xotic AC Booster
3.) Korg Pitchblack
4.) MXR Carbon Copy

I'd also like to add an MI Audio Crunch Box and a Catalinbread HyperPak (played 'em, loved 'em, just need $$$ for 'em).  After that, I think I'll be good.  The Xotics are the bread and butter of  my rig.  The RC is almost always on, and I use the AC to goose the front end and push it over the edge.  The Korg tuner is great, better than the BOSS I used to use, and the Carbon Copy is just an awesome analog delay; I love it! 

    So yeah, that's pretty much all I think I need.  I'm not much into mod effects, so no GAS there.  Maybe a flanger to make neato swooshy noises every once in a while, but I can't honestly say when I'd use it.

Flangers are good for chorus type effects on clean tones. I like a flanger sound better than most chorus sounds. They don't have to just sound like airplanes ataking off hehehe -  Think EVH on the intro to "Hear About It Later"

http://www.mtv.com/videos/van-halen/108871/hear-about-it-later.jhtml.

Right now all I have is a MXR Carbon Copy, Fulltone GT-500 and Lehle Little Dual switcher (gives me three "channels" on my 18 watt amp).

I'd like to pickup a nice Wah and a Fulltone ChoralFlange if I can find one.

Ibanez: TS9 Tube Screamer 1982
MXR: Phase 90

Line 6:  X3 Live
Vox: Tone Lab LE arty07:

 

[smavridis]

i would love to try the mxr distortion but right now i have the boss metal zone mt-2

 

[bbl4ck]

I use a Boss BD-2, Boss SD-1, and Ibanez Tube Screamer, all Keeley mods.  His work just adds that extra jolt to the existing sounds.
Also have a MXR carbon copy, Boss DD-4, and Budda Budwah.  I love them all...

 

[Rick]

Well, I got ride of my univibe.  I'm down to two pedals.
Tuner
Tube Screamer Clone.

Thinking about a delay ... any recommendations?

This is the place to rave about my Boss ME-70, the replacement for the ME-50. It's brilliant for me. Most of the time I'm super happy just to plug in directly, but it's nice to get some reverb once in a while, a compressor or a clean boost on a footswitch are good to have, and a parametric EQ. Once in a while I'll use delay, tremolo or chorus. And it's got a looper which has been a great practice tool. And a wha just for when you're in the mood. And you can plug in your ipod and jam along, into the amp or with headphones, and it does decent modeling of a few good amps (better than the pod stuff and better than a crappy SS amp) so I can go direct into the PA at practice for convenience, and use the volume pedal there while I'm at it. Basically I'm not an effects guy so it's fantastic to have all this if and when I want it, without spending a bunch of time and energy on pedal stuff or learning to program one of the 'big boys'.

Oh, and there's a bunch of other weird stuff like Leslie Emulation and auto-wah of course, and everything can be controlled by just the knobs, no programming necessary, and it's one nice solid chunk of metal. Love it love it.

Thank you tfarny for your important reference which I failed to mention.  While I own the above mentioned 6 pedals, probably 80% - 90% of the time, I just plug her in and jam. 
I enjoy the pedals for an occasional ride; but I mostly just plug straight into my Fenders. 
:rock-on:

 

[Kvebbs]

I gave all the single effect-pedals up when I moved to the city.... When I could no longer crank my amp up as much as I wanted I switched to a PodXT Live, then later a Pod X3-live.... Smartest thing I've ever done! Plug that straight to my Firepod with some other mikes and play everything thru my studio-monitors or headphones=) EzDrummer for backing and recording - I can rock out all night and not wake the neighbors! arty07:

 

[Rick]

Well, I've now added a new pedal to my chain ...
It goes:
PW Tuner
BBE Green Screamer (Boost / Overdrive)
Proco YouDirtyRat (Distortion / Fuzz)

Thinking about adding a delay, some sort of amp simulator and phaser.

Eventide ... now ... that was easy.  :glasses9:
