Here's a question for you about pedals!

Re: Here's a question for you about pedals!

A) imho there are already lots of different tones you can get from the guitar and amp by changing your playing dynamics, tone, volme and gain that I usually enjoy more. If possible I would preffer a programable multi-modulation with presets rather than jumping around pedals, this distracts me from playing.
B) Just a little bit of these from time to time: Delay, chorus, reverb and Wah. I can't deny I can like many other effects but in my own conception of songs effects are just "cameos" and not "main actors".
C) I have not tried modified pedals.
D) I don0t have many but I really like my Fulltone PlimSoul so far.

I never liked doing my own homework either, but I've always liked th... "*SQUIRREL*"...

Re: Here's a question for you about pedals!

My view on pedals is very different depending on the situation. With a band I will have a board with only what I need and know I will use for the songs we play. But at home I like having everything available to me for when the mood strikes. So really I am equal parts "as few as possible" and "ass many as possible".

Live I basically have been using a boost, gate, chorus, and delay (plus a tuner but that doesn't count). At home I have wah, fuzz, more drive pedals, phaser, flange and multiple delays available to me.

I'm open to mods, not necessary by any means though. If it does what I want, I use it. If not, I find something that does.

My favorite pedal at the moment is my Carbon Copy. So many possibilities with a good delay pedal.

Re: Here's a question for you about pedals!

If I could krank my amp, I would probably drop some dirty boxes out of my pedalboard but, even in that situation, some dirty boxes (or some EQ pedal) could change the grain and distortion character, for more versatility.

After having small to extra big pedalboards, I think I love to have following pedals:

* TUNER (in my case, Peterson Strobostomp Classic)
* WAH (in my case, Real McCoy RMC4 Picture Wah)
* BUFFER / BOOSTER (just to correct the lose of tone for a long run of cable, in my case Wampler Decibel+)
* VIBE (It seems to sound better before overdrives, in my case Dry Bell Vibe Machine V1)
* OVERDRIVE 1 (just to put the amp on tube break boundary, in my case Jetter JetDrive)
* OVERDRIVE 2 (stacked with OD1, to push the tube into Hard Rock territory, in my case Jetter JetDrive)
* HI-GAIN DISTORTION (in my case, Mesa boogie Throttle Box, but it can change)
* VOLUME PEDAL (to be able to control the overall loudness once the sound was processed, in my case Boss volume pedal, pasive)
* CHORUS (very occasionally, in my case Strymon Ola)
* REVERB (my amp hasn't, in my case Strymon BlueSky)
* DELAY (in my case Strymon El Capistan)

I could add a FUZZ, if I found one that I really love. I gave up my seeking for a long while.
I could add a Phaser or a Flanger but, those, I use the less.

This would count for the maximum pedals I would load in my pedalboard (up to 15?)
