Favorite noise maker pedal?

[PFDarkside]

What pedal do you plug in when you want a crazy, jacked up sound and want to have fun?

(I know, I should save my money for the SFX-03... way more useful)

You cannot possibly go wrong with a Zvex Fuzz Factory. It continually blows my mind. Once you really get to know how to use the knobs, you'll wish you had it mounted in your guitar.

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

almost every ZVEX pedal can be used to make cool noise...the challenge with a ZVEX box is to use it and make a useable sound!

As for my fav noise maker that woudl be (this week) my original WH-1 Whammy Pedal...the reissues don't stack up at all and a whammy pedal just never gets boring!

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

the best noise makers (and you did say *noise*) are the old DIgitech Space Station pedal as well as the Line6 Filter Mod pedal. Warning: these can sound absolutely nothing at all like a guitar.

I have an old Amdex Phaser that is pretty wild..... sounds like a Jet or Space Ship compaired to other Phasers.... It has an insane sweep to it..... Saddly it robs tone when it is off but it is a great sounding unit when it's on..... I hear they were home made pedal kits players could buy and solder together in the early 80's..... Boss was said to of made the parts....

Just about anything by Electro Harmonix. Great stuff in my opinion, same with Zvex.

My Bluesdriver infront of my laney. When i feel like it I have it boost the already crunchy amp for my lead sound. If i feel evil i do some riffing. Gets into Black Label/Zakk stylie there and the harmonics just leap out of the speakers

My EH Electric Mistress (flanger) does some pretty wild stuff. Actually EH makes all kinds of wild effects. I'd love to try/own them all.

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

no doubt about EHX products. I like some of their tube pedals also

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

When I just want to make noise, I put my Zoom 707 infront of my amp. I don't even have to play the guitar, 'cause the Zoom generates so much noise. Then I add some effects, and the noise can be swirling, pulsating, scratching, alien-like or human-like. I can also connect my guitar through another input, and play "normal" guitar above the noise.

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

I've been blown away by the Z-Vex pedals for a long time...especially the Fuzz Factory. I became a Z-Vex dealer at NAMM this year. I think they're a load of fun...and sound great. lew

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

Yeah, I had Z.Vex in mind, they have a cool range of pedals, and I was also thinking about the Whammy and FM-4. EHX definately has some cool stuff, I'd love to play with the Micro Synth and Flanger Hoax. (I picked up the POG a month ago... this thing is really cool!)

I've never heard of Amdex or the Total SOnic Annihilation.

Has anyone played with the 4ms line? Isn't there another company that has a phaser with like 12 knobs on it too?

Ah yes, Studio Electronics. Anyone with experience with 4ms or Studio Electronics?

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

The Z Vex Probe pedals are the most fun. They're a theramin controlled effect. Wah Probe, Tremolo Probe, and Fuzz Probe.

+1 on the Line 6 Filter modeler (purple). If you want normal FX, get the blue one, but the purple one gets some UGLY sounds that are fun to play with.

MXR blue box

 

[PFDarkside]

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

Ooh, the blue box sounds cool... I wonder if I can duplicate that with a POG and a fuzz, though?

Re: Favorite noise maker pedal?

ive got a park fuzz sound, big muff, sd-1, cry baby, boss phaser, ibanez phaser, visual sound H2O, EHX memory man, and a re-issue whammy. I can get some absolutely wacko noises.
