There's also these two articles over at the Gibson site. Effects Pedals, Part 1 Effects Pedals, Part 2 By no means all you need to know but a good guide to understanding. Oh, and this is in the mail, wheee!

Speaking of tremolos, does anyone know of a classic sounding, really simple tremolo with a speed switch. I was looking at the Monster Effects Swamp Thang trem but I'm sure there's other stuff out there.

screammachine posted:Oh, it really matters. I knew someone who had their FF pretty deep into their chain and felt very apathetic about the pedal, I told them to put it first and all of a sudden they fell in love. You can't run two Fuzz Factories off of the same guitar signal (via a split cable) because the Fuzz Factory works intimately with your pickups and they cancel each other out. The further it is from first position the worse the pedal sounds. 2nd or 3rd in the chain is fine if its after true bypass pedals but really its got to be first to get the complete mojo. I did this with my Beano Boost. First I had it sitting after my Wah and OC-2 and was really disappointed with it. The sound was really thin and grating. I started having second thoughts about the whole treble boost thing but then moved to the beginning of the chain... Holy gently caress it was good; exactly the sound I was looking for. I couldn't believe it was just because I had two buffered pedals (switched off) in front of it.

Let's bring this thread back from the dead and discuss Fuzzes. After a long run of using overdrives and boosts I got my first fuzz, a MI Audio Germanium Neo Fuzz. All I can say is I'm a convert. Running it through an amp already on the boil and you get a nice thick, bluesy, sustaining fuzz. It can get a bit over the top but I like the fuzz set at about halfway with a bit of boost from the volume knob. Now I have an Analogman Sunface on the way, it's a slippery slope. I know there are other fuzz fans here, tell me you favourites.

I have a Polytune and a Pitchblack. I pretty much use the Pitchblack all the time.

I picked up a 1974 reissue script phase 90 and love it. The down side is it has no led or DC jack but the upside is the sound, exactly the phaser sound that's in my head. Having said that, I have a Destination Rotation on my board at the moment and I use it as a kinda cross phaser/uni-vibe/Leslie thing.

Yeah, sorry misunderstood. If you're in Melbourne check out the Swop Shop, they've always got a good cheap selection of used pedals.

Agreed posted:...Makes the Crunch Box look like one hell of a deal at its price in AUD given that it's a domestically manufactured pedal there... And you might be able to pick up an older Crunch Box now the Super Crunch Box is out.
