I'm not sure what's next for my pedal board. I feel uninspired with the current setup, but I know I definitely need some more modulation or maybe a blues driver or something.
Any suggestions homies?
Aslo Post your pedalboards/guitar related gear if you got it
stop playing playstion and get on guitar instead. my advice to you.
>>64518214
solid advice. Playstation is gf's though m8
man what the hell do all of those things do
>>64518242
Most of them say what they do right on the front
That being said OP aside from the dl4 you've got a great collection of very mediocre pedals
>>64518173
>fenderblender
so many people hate that pedal for some reason. i love mine
Sell all that shut and get Native Instruments' Guitar Rig
Death by Audio Fuzz War
get another Delay, particular a Minifooger Analog Delay
Get a Ring Modulator, I hear The Worm is a solid one for a decent price
Drop the fucking DS-1 jesus christ why? replace it with a Tubescreamer
>>64518262
At least there are no Danelectro pedals there
>>64518262
terrific input bruh
>>64518330
Oh yeah and get rid of the mini Holy Grail and get the big one. It's much much better.
Get rid of that Line 6 delay. The emulation is way outdated, not to mention the hardware is crap Get something like the TC electronic Alter ego X4, the Flashback, or maybe the new Digitech delay
>>64518173
Dump the Boss pedal and get yourself a proper distortion
>>64518330
The ds-1 is actually not something I even keep on my board. I just wanted it to bulk up the board
>>64518350
>Get rid of the DL-4
are you retarded or baiting? If anything he should get 2 more.
i currently own a '76 mxr distortion pedal and i really want to find something better. any suggestions?
>>64518388
Shugazi Meltdown
Get a Moog pedal
My Bass MuRF filter is hella tight
>>64518337
There's a few actually really decent danelectro pedals but I get your point
>>64518342
I don't need to give input to someone that puts shitty pedals on their board to 'bulk it up'
>>64518414
I'm not sure there is anything better
>>64518422
Moog makes fantastic shit.
Too bad the top of the line stuff is ridiculously expensive.
>>64518388
Seriously, the pedal is long overdue for an update. Get a newer delay and get a looper like the Ditto X2
>>64518425
Are there? It's been a loooong time since I've looked at pedals. I remember them all being like 30 bucks a piece.
>>64518422
>>64518437
>tfw own a moogerfooger ring mod
Life is good boys
>>64518173
If I see another DL-4 I'm gonna puke
>>64518455
Their MF analog delay is 10/10 for the price
>>64518238
>girl
>playing vidya
don't lie on the internet, anon
>>64518460
Holy fuck it looks beautiful
Knowing Moog it sounds even more beautiful
>>64518483
>tfw will never have just 700 dollars to blow on the official Moogerfooger analog delay
I'll be sticking with minifoogers my whole life :(
>>64518492
Minifoogers are nice and all but the full on Moogerfooger is literally orgasmic
The ring mod on Moogerfooger is so stupidly versatile it's amazing
>>64518173
Maybe Earthquaker Rainbow Machine, some unusual fuzz, or a Blue Sky?
Pedals I'd get for experimenting if I had some extra cash
Maybe an Xvive V8 chorus/vibrato?
I mainly use it for the vibrato function (different from univibe sound, literally note goes up and down in pitch), got it as a christmas present and it helped me get out of a slump
>>64518515
isnt the ring mod moogerfooger only like 300 bucks?
I just think the minifoogers are great for the price.
>>64518453
There's a decent tremolo and one of the dan-echo delays is quite nice and usually overlooked but those are some of the older models. I've never tried any of the FAB pedals
>>64518522
>Rainbow machine
fuck off that pedal is for hacks
Also OP get an Interstellar Overdrive.
>>64518546
>fuck off that pedal is for hacks
Is something wrong with it?
>>64518564
Its a "pretty no matter what you play" pedal
for hacks
>>64518522
Do not tell people about the Rainbow Machine
It must be protected
>>64518524
If I'm not wrong it was more than 300 when I bought it at retail but it was definitely somewhere around 400. Then again I live in asia so guitar shit is more expensive here.
Minifoogers are definitely GOAT too though
>>64518584
Ok, you could make that case for reverb so I guess fuck sounding pretty in general
>>64518618
no you cant.
>>64518625
Fug, fell for b8
>>64518644
a person that sucks ass at guitar still sucks ass even if they have the reverb dimed
rainbow machine makes everything sound "Ooooh so pretty so mystical"
its for fucking hipsters that just discovered dreampop and shoegaze
>>64518588
Rainbow Machine is a meme
On a side note what is the GOAT reverb pedal and why is it the Afterneath?
>>64518675
Big Holy Grail is my favorite cus the Flerb.
>>64518671
Get out TC shill
Heres my other board
>>64518701
disgusting
>>64518671
>all that TC
disgusting
>>64518692
Holy Grails are really good but holy fuck the Afterneath is some of the most impressive and unique shit I've ever heard.
I've done entire performances based off that one pedal alone
>>64518701
>all that boss
Really mate?
Main midi rig.
>>64518723
There's nothing wrong with boss
There is something wrong with all those particular boss pedals though
>>64518723
>>64518723
Ahhh I had to google to remember the Afterneath. I used one briefly but never really got to experiment deeply with it. The guy who owned it has great taste in pedals though, so I'm sure its a fantastic pedal.
>tfw 399.99
>poorfag
why live
>>64518743
>there is something wrong with boss
I'll tell you what's wrong with them. Their shitty build quality and garbage tier QC. And especially with their distortions, the awful tone
>>64518743
Actually just that chorus and phaser suck, didn't see the reverb. They're alright
I admit boss is junk but it has never failed me. I upgraded 1,000 times but theres something about the crap that works
>>64518766
>>64518757
The Boss chromatic tuner is probably the best there is, but I'd never ever ever buy any other boss pedal.
I see no one else posting their gear but me? Sup wit dat?
>>64518757
>Their shitty build quality and garbage tier QC
I've never broken a boss pedal aside from one being submerged under flooded basement water for a month
The new ones do sound pretty garbage depending on the pedal though. A ton of the earlier MIJ and MIT pedals sound amazing and have fantastic quality, what are you smoking
>>64518723
Why trip in this thread?
Were you posting clips in another thread or something?
>>64518669
>people aren't using this pedal in a way I like so fuck off its for hacks
Ok
>>64518791
Theres only one way to use the rainbow machine.
that pedal literally does all the work for you.
Again its only me posting gear here. Yes i own some boss. Its whos using it at the end of the day
>>64518755
When testing it before buying it out I did a single 10 minute improvised jam with it. I think that's the greatest performance I've ever done. The way you can fucking manipulate that pedal and the sheer capability of it is amazing.
>>64518780
Their chromatic tuner is pretty good, I'll give you that.
>>64518791
I trip everywhere. You mean you've never seen me before?
>>64518810
>>64518788
Id post my gear but I only have a guitar these days. Live in an apartment now so cant really play anyways.
>>64518808
>i haven't played a rainbow machine
The guitar center in my town doesn't have them but the sam ash does, maybe visit a different store so you can mess with it a little?
>>64518821
>I trip everywhere. You mean you've never seen me before?
I asked why.
You're not anyone famous and don't really need a trip for making pedal suggestions in this thread
Makes me think you're some kind of senpai that wants attention or something
>>64518833
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but id never want to spend 225 on one.
>>64518865
I use my trip to catalog my posting and taste growth via RBT.
I'm fairly famous at this point for all the wrong reasons, have you not been here for the past few months or do you just stick to a general like /gg/?
>>64518173
Get good on acoustic
My tiny fly rig
>>64518910
This is actually great advice.
Rivers Cuomo from Weezer was a huge metalhead, but the first guitar he got was an acoustic and he realized he couldn't write metal songs on it so he adjusted his songwriting to work with the guitar he had, and voila.

What's a good volume pedal that won't fuck my tone in the ass and is preferably less troublesome when it comes to pots?
Sell all of your pedals and buy Guitar Rig 6
>>64518951
What's wrong with TC senpai?
Nooooooooooo
>>64518979
I'd recommend the Ernie Ball one but in recent years I've noticed the quality of them has gone to COMPLETE shit.
>>64518951
Little Alligator
Guitar rid 6 hahaha you're a moron. No ears. What are you 13?
>>64518993
Please die
>>64519001
I've heard some Ernie Ball stuff and despite their popularity good god their volume pedals completely screw your guitar tone over.
Ernie Ball. There is now finer pedal. Does not fuck with your tone
>>64519020
I had 2 break on me in the span of a month. Was fucking embarrassing for Ernie Ball considering that I love the musicman series.
>>64519020
That was pretty uncalled for, Proge.
>>64519016
What are you saying?
>>64518893
Meant like outside of 4chan famous
If Bjork or Kanye tripped, I wouldn't mind
>>64519035
Fucking christ that must be awful.
Do you know any better alternatives?
>>64519046
Sorry, I just don't like Guitar Rig 6
>>64519059
Ooh. I'm not really famous outside of 4chan (although maybe I will be one day) but this trip is just a method of tracking my own posting.
>>64519074
Are you beta testing Guitar Rig 6?
>>64519074
I don't.. You could maybe use a expression pedal running through something else that controls the levels?
>>64518425
ok then leave lol
>>64519079
No, I just don't like digital guitar effects in general.
>>64519096
My guitar teacher (who has a fucking shitton of pedals and guitars, jesus) does some very similar with that, I can't remember which brand he uses but he links an expression pedal into a modded boost pedal and it basically works exactly the same
>>64519111
The hardest part would be finding a pedal that could use an expression pedal in such a way. probably would cost the same as a decent volume pedal tho
>>64519139
That's where the modding comes in. I think he got said brand to mod his boost to fit in an expression pedal. Although apparently it's expensive as hell so it might not be the most cost effective
>>64519106
>ok then leave lol
I'd rather stay and ridicule OP for his poor choices and stupid attitude
>>64519155
Well in the long run it'd be better than going through an excess amount of volume pedals that are just inherently shit by nature.
>>64519170
Sorry mang, not in dough.
Stupid attitude? Hmmm
better than being a bitter internet bully I guess
If not playing shows and doing bedroom recording, I'd rather stick with digital effects, like GR. So much cheaper than buying pedals and then realising that I need or want something else in addition.
If the recordings are mixed properly, no one can tell the difference.
>>64519195
What are some good volume pedals then? Stuff that hopefully won't break anytime soon and also sound and work good
>>64519199
>Stupid attitude?
>The ds-1 is actually not something I even keep on my board. I just wanted it to bulk up the board
There's a difference between being a bully and pointing out how stupid that is
>>64519218
Maybe try the Morley one? Every one ive ever used has been garbage.
>>64518173
Am I blind or, where's the wahwah?
>>64519218
Actually Proge, now that I think of it...
My favorite volume pedal is actually called the volume KNOB :^)
>>64519199
It's also not even that bad of a pedal. Just be constructive man, we're not all super intellectuals like you.
>>64519218
>What are some good volume pedals then?
Used one of these for several years and it was by far my favorite. Very transparent and durable
>>64519255
Apparently that one is optical so replacing pots won't be an issue. I can't find any info on it though, so I will have to do more research on it.
>>64519302
You try playing Larks' Tongues in Aspic II and controlling your volume knob at the same time.
>>64519327
>boss
>implyign
I'll see what info I can find on it
>>64519344
I would, if I could even play Larks Tongue Part II
>>64519344
What is your problem with boss pedals aside from what you said earlier?
I haven't gone to /gg/ for a while is it some new meme to hate on them because they have quite a few fantastic pedals
>>64518376
Are you autistic
>>64519351
That's the thing, the way that section is structured it's borderline impossible to reach to the volume knob and get the volume to swell smoothly while playing the ascending melody. Even with a Strat.
>>64519372
From my experience they sound bad, look bad and are built bad. Just my opinion.
>>64519393
>sound bad
Well short of pulling up comparisons on known similar circuit design pedals there's no way I could argue against this aside from naming a few that I believe to be quite fantastic sounding: ce-2, rv-3, dm-3, vb-2, pretty much all the digital delays
Their distortions can be quite hit and miss pertaining to the blues driver and hm-2 but I've thoroughly used the ce-2 and rv-3 and absolutely love them
Also I've never had any problems with them breaking aside from snapping a screw keeping the plate on every once in a while after absolute torture but even then it's far easier to fix than most other pedals where you need to replace the entire footswitch
>>64519469
Well obviously I haven't tried every single boss pedal on the planet, most of my experience is with their distortions, delays, EQs and tuners. Their EQs and tuners are alright but their distortions are really offensively bad at points and I've never been a fan of the sound of their delays. Sounds a bit too dry IMO
>>64519522
>their distortions are really offensively bad at points and I've never been a fan of the sound of their delays
Well I'll completely agree with you on the distortions. I really quite hate the od-1, super overdrive, ds-1, metal zone, etc. I can barely tolerate the blues driver and I actually quite like the hm-2 but boss really shines in every area aside from distortions and imo I think a lot of their pitch shifters are garbage but they've got far more to offer than their duds just keep that in mind
That being said their old mij or mit chorus, phaser, reverb, delay, pedals are just fantastic and un-killable
One of my favorite examples of them was nick reinhart of tera melos. He's got a few that are real fucked up from being tortured but they're still kicking. I wish I had a picture of my old rv-3. It had a cover transplanted on it from a ge-7 equalizer after getting an amp dropped on it and half of the paint had worn off after scraping on just about everything in our basement jam space
>>64519636
I once had a bassist who wanted to use a blues driver in a solo. The thing sounded like a wet fart, literally painful to listen to.
I've definitely heard some good stuff about their old MIJ models though, don't know how true that is but supposedly they aren't too bad at all.
Well yeah, Nick is pretty much a pedal guru. He can practically fix any pedal and work with nearly anything from what I've seen.
Boss OD3 is actually one of my favorite drives. Can't speak for their other pedals, but fuck if the od3 isn't their most underrated gem.
Heard SD1 is nice but haven't tried
>>64519678
>tfw will never be as good as Nick reinhardt

Jesus christ that man is amazing. His technical skill is top tier and his pedal usage is even better.
I think I may have been unintentionally influenced by his pedal effects usage

THIS
Nice setup OP, flanger is always fun. A/DA was teasing a new smaller enclosure for their circuit.
Bitcrusher maybe? WMD Geiger Counter should be popping up at cheap prices now that their new
version is being released.
Montreal Assembly Count To Five sampler/looper is unlike anything else out there.
Always use more fuzz eh? Buzztone for them Robert Fipp tones.
Subharmonic pedals like Lastgasp Art Laboratories Gomorrah are fun,
Oscillating fuzz are good stuff too, SHOE Silver Apple is one of the most musical.
Glitchy delay/loopers are always fun, MASF Possessed or granular delay like a Red Panda particle are worth looking at.
>>64518414
Fulltone OCD
>>64518173
Get an MWFX Judder, best pedal ever
>>64518173
Listen up faggot, there's only one button you need and it's called distortion. There's no pedal you can buy that will make you write good songs.
>>64520687

>>64520548
seconding OCD. Great pedal
>>64520706
Nope. I just don't have a desire to look like a raging cuck onstage. Back in the days of Elvis and Fats Domino pedals didn't even exist, and that was some of the greatest music ever recorded, so what does that tell you shitbird? You really think you need 80 pedals? Even Kieth Richards said the more effects you have the shittier your music gets.

Swap that Boss distortion for a Klon Centaur OD clone like the EHX Soul Food. The tubescreamer/blues driver just can't compete with the Klon.
I'm looking to buy an interface for guitar / mic
I'm looking at scarlett 2i2 or m-audio fast track
i know a lot of people are against the scarletts and the m-audio one is only 30$ but i dunno what i should do
any suggestions?
>>64521646
I bought the 2i2 and it's great all things considered. Depending on what all you plan on recording the next model up with the pads might be a good idea.
>>64519678
I don't get the "boss is shit" meme.
Have a 1978 OD-1, Old DM-2 and CE2. Excellent pedals. Not cheap but I got good deals.
The more pedals I build and the more I learn about PCB design and components the more you realise 95% of boutique pedals are bullshit. Some really amazing builders but ALOT of glorified modded clones in a fancy box.
Learn to mod pedals, save yourself cash and stop yourself being tricked by marketing tactics

>>64519218
Goodrich.
>>64518173
Looks like you need some filters, and step sequencers.
>>64518173
MASF Raptio, or maybe EHX freeze although the Raptio does the freeze thing too,
Some of them are pretty good, I'd swap out most of the ones on the far right though. If you don't wanna spend any more money either sell some of the not so good ones or at least see what you can get for them, or even just rearrange all of them.
>>64518289
They're great but I think I'd only get the original, the reissue sounds a bit weak to me
>>64519636
Are any of those modded or did you just paint/tape over them?
And what do you think of the DD400?
Get a HEXE Revolver, this is the best pedal period.
>>64518262
>m-m-muh tone
average person or even guitarist doesn't care.
if it says distortion on it and it distorts the sound then I dont really care at all
>>64520833
Lordy lordy pedals exist for a reason ya dingus they add to the music, they make it more interesting. You don't have to use them, but you can't say using effects will make your music shitty m8 you're just flat out wrong boyo
>>64518949
>>64518173
my suggestion is to stop buying pedals and start playing guitar. do you really need to buy a new pedal to feel inspired?
>>64522932
>not being inspired by new sounds
KEK
Geez, stop spending this much money on pedals. Get a good interface, a little piracy and voila, you've got literally every single pedal/effect in the entire world. Sure the tactical feedback and analog stuff might make you feel cool but it's extremely little value for the price.

>On a side note what is the GOAT reverb pedal and why is it the Afterneath?
Really wanted the Aftermath as my first reverb pedal, the deal breaker for me is a read somewhere that the effect doesn't go 100% wet. is this true as I want to use it as an AUX send on my mixer so I can run more than 1 instrument through it?
>>64518675
gOAT reverb pedal is Industrialectric Reverb Machine btw
>>64523038
I wouldn't even practice on a VST. Even a cheap beginners amp is a more enjoyable experience. I have really nice monitors too, but it never captures the experience of playing through an amp.
