Guitar Effects: What's your poison?

[FreeOnes_Adam]

As a drummer, I've spent quite a few years bouncing to other instruments. (insert penis joke here).

After a few years, I've managed to get decent at guitar. I own an acoustic electric and a pretty nice Epiphone Les Paul Standard.


Long story short, I've got pedal fever again. What do you guys love to use?


I'm THIS fucking close to ordering the Digitech Digidelay.

I've been so-so with Digitech, but this seems ot be a solid pedal at a decent price. So many functions like the reverse, 4 second loop, nice reverb and all that shit.

I was going to get a nice Crybaby Wah, but I think the Digidelay sounds like first, then wah. I've developed my own style and I think the delay would be pretty nice. I colour outside the lines like Sonic Youth sometimes.


I own a pretty awesome pedal that I'll show you guys if you can give me some good feedback here

I see you already uploaded your skills on Youtube...

Line 6 makes a floor unit that contains a plethora of what you crave...They also make great amps, and guitars. Steve Howe used one on the last Yes tour, to replace several instruments, and it did a great job as far as I am concerned.

That angry guitar guy.. WTF!

The Dunlop Crybaby. Hands down. Others, like delays etc give a great spice to guitar tone, but no other pedal is a s organic and so feelgood

Thanks for your input, guys. Picked up some stuff this weekend. Even ordered my Digidelay. I had to decide between that and the Crybaby. Crybaby is next!

And.. maybe I'll make a little noise for you. MAYBE. Remember, I'm a drummer now fucking with guitar. Don't be expecting some pro shit!

I'm an acoustic player so don't know much about this but my son is a big-time electric buff and he likes the Zoom G-5.

So, I just inherited a Squire Stratocaster. I plugged it in, tuned it, its not bad. Why is it not bad?

Probably because you've never heard it played next to a Gibson, with humbuckers, and such. I'm not a fan of Fender guitars....I love their basses, and it's the bass sound of years of classic rock gone past, but I don't really dig single coil pickups. It also was probably set up right, and has good action. If it does, it will sound good, because you won't have fret buzz, but that "bright" sound you get from single coil pick ups, doesn't work for me. Of course if you like it, then start there. Try plugging it into a tube amp, with overdrive, and see how you like that, then pick and choose the effects you want from there. I would go with a chorus, or a flanger...maybe a delay. Post a picture of it, I would like to see it.

Just because the instrument is not from the original builder does not mean that it can't be well-made. And I have to admit:

If the player can be play well, the instrument is not as important. There is a chance that you actually can play really good
