suggest some effects

harrison

i've got roughly $350 dollars to spend

and i really am leaning towards getting a dl4

but i dont want to make a bad decision

so now i will poll you guys!

i play in an alternative/experimental type band, where my main role is sound manipulation and second guitar. on my own i play more shoe-gaze type stuff, sonic youth, no age, silversun pickups. so i'd like things that will transfer over well and be useful

any and all suggestions are appreciated

I would imagine that Delay, Modulation and Tremolo would work quite well for both styles... If you are a Silversun Pickups fan, Brian Aubert uses two Delays running into each other and this seems to be quite a commonly used trick to make yr Delay sound more "Soundscape-y" and atmospheric...

Sorry I can't be of more help with individual pedals though.

yeah i was thinking of trying to grab a DD5 to add to the DD3 i already have, but i figure the Dl4 would cover the digital delay sound plus all the other stuff it does.

i'm going to guitarcenter tomorrow to check things out, and if i really like it will most likely be coming home with the DL4.

The DL4 is great but I have to say I loved my Boss DD20. The DL4 (like lots of line6) has too many "hidden" features. To get a dot8th sound you have to know those features where as the DD20 had it all right at your fingers...not that there isn't lots of features to it as well.

OH and being able to have "anaolog-ish" dot8th was AWESOME...why did I sell that pedal?

i would get a memory man and a ps-5 (or other).

I just bought a Stereo Memory Man with Harazai and I absolutely love it...you can get so many different sounds out of it, it's incredible. I've been playing it hooked into two practice amps for stereo sound, and now I've seen the promised land. I don't know how I can go back to my mono amp ☹

My second favorite pedal was the MXR Carbon Copy. Really sweet sound, very basic, and you can make it self-oscillate easily. My biggest problem was there's no tap tempo or real indicator for you to be able to match the rate with the song other than to manually adjust while listening.

Elecro-Harmonix POG 2. From 12-30 string guitar to simulated organ and cello and backward sounding guitar, it's great for the experimental crowd.

Also, if you love fuzz, check out www.deviever.com

devi ever ftw.

harrison

i ended up getting the DL4,

i hope to eventually have the FM 4 and the Modulation one (not sure the initials)

i have too much pedal gas

Disappearer

I have too much everything gas...

Guitars, Amps, Pedals... You name it. Even picks. 😐

harrison

so i've had a change of events and will be getting a dl4 for 70 dollars,

leaving me with around 280 dollars more to spend! and i'm really looking for some new stuff, i considered the micro pog, and the pulsar. might look into a tube-screamer because i dont currently have an overdrive. thanks for all the ideas already, if you've got any more i'd be thankful for them

The Fulltone "Clide" wah is great if you don't already have w wah pedal. The new handmade MXR Phase 90's are nice phasers... Big Muff w/ tone wicker is a nice new spin on an old fave... Not much else off the top of my head bside that POG 2, oh, and the Micro POG is super weak IMO...

look into MI audio pedals eg the blue boy deluxe for OD.

gilmourish

pulsar is crap, tr-2 is really nice though

weird effects: ehx frequency analyser,

ehx pog,

lovetone meatball (its numerous copies really, e.g the meatwad is the best clone)

old boss bf-2 for some huge flanger or the new ibanez paul gilbert flange is #### awesome for noise

some sort of devi ever fuzz - who doesnt want one?

normal stuff

dl4 definetly, if you can get one cheap

OD - i love my ts9 but i know loadsa people hate them

dsd-2 is foul

the flanger hoax is amazing for noise, you can get it so self oscillate and stuff

bf-2 isnt crap. your thinking of bf-3

od-20 is just awful. why did you even put that in the list?

harrison

i settled on the middle ground between pitch shifting/reverb/and tremolo and came home with the holy stain. i really love this thing regardless of all the negative reviews i've read.

also got the fulldrive2 because it sounds beautiful and i just really wanted it. around february i should have saved enough money to buy the memory boy which was the other pedal in consideration against the stain. all in all i am very happy and cannot wait until christmas and to try all of this stuff out. thanks for all the suggestions guys, my GAS keeps growing because of you haha
