Need help on pedals - achieving ambient tone cheap

Re: Need help on pedals - achieving ambient tone cheap


Im using this setup currently. The second row consists of the TC DreamScape (John Petrucci signature), TC Flashback, TC Hall of Fame mini. From there the signal goes to the Boss DD-3 then to the TC Spark mini.

The DD-3 is set to similar to a dotted 8th note delay with a ton of feedback and then the HoF mini is set with a nominal amount of Reverb with whichever TonePrint is selected, and the TC DreamScape is set to a subtle vibrato effect. When all 3 are combined, the effect is a very nice ambient guitar tone that sounds somewhat like an organ.

I've done ambient music for over 20 years. I wrote an article about building an ambient pedalboard. A good, controllable looper is a must.

Get a Line 6 M5 or M9 used and go nuts. The M5 can be whatever you want it to be.

How much does it cost you to afford those pedals you mention?
