  1. I'm also sort of addicted to the way a board full of lights and things to step on and play with feels, being right at my feet while I play. It looks a lot more interesting and involved than a single switch kicking back and forth to change your sound. You have to know what the fuck you're doing with a pedalboard.
  2. Ahhh the talkbox on SE - one of rock's finest moments over that bass line. If you get it, you'll get a hell of a reaction.

    Half the fun of making music, using synths, effects, pedals etc - whatever you go for - is experimenting. For me - it depends on what I'm doing. Digital usually for me, but then analog adds another whole dimension.
  3. I need to get some pedals. Probably not going to get an FX pedal - will get separate ones instead. I'm looking for a nice heavy tone - like Sabbath, Guns N' Roses; that kind of tone. Any suggestions?

    Do you have to spend time tweaking the pedals between songs during shows though? When you've used different pedal settings on different songs.
  5. Matt... if I remember correctly you had that Digitech Grunge pedal, would you recommend it?

    This guy and this guy would be good places to start.

    Not for anything other than hi-treble, really dirty 90's music. It pretty much does what it's name would imply.

    But yeah, if that's what you're going for it was good.

    Generally not. I have the DS-1 for distortion and the Bad Monkey for overdrive so I can sort of play around between two different dirty sounds with that. Chorus is chorus, though sometimes I bend down and change that mid-SONG if it sounds off...just a matter of getting it set right.

    Only thing that really gets me is delay, since I only have the stomp-box format...thinking about saving up over the summer and getting a TC-Nova- 9 presets and a bunch of other bells and whistles. Looks nice, too.
  9. That MXR Distortion Plus sounds niiiiiiice.

    Thinking get some distortion and a nice delay pedal. Covers a lot of early U2 at least.

    Yeah, and in all honesty you don't need to spend huge to get a good delay sound. The Digitech stomp I have might only do one setting at a time, but Edge really doesn't do much in terms of huge differences. Just time differences. Tape off the top of the pedal and mark off where you need to hit the knob for each song, and you're fine.
