Are there any alternatives to the Boss Acoustic sim? I really want an acoustic simulation thing but I cant convince myself the soundclips of this sound good.

Leninboarrir posted:Reading through this topic, I just realized that I'm quite the neophyte and I have no idea how an effects loop works. My amp (or rather, the amp I'm using), the Marshall MGHD100FX half stack, has an FX send and FX return jack in the back. I tried plugging my pedal chain into both jacks, and all I got was nonsense noise. Would someone mind breaking the process down for me, and what it's used for? I'm sure it's pretty simple, I just can't figure it out. None of those pedals bar the Jamman need to be in the loop, not even that probably. The effects loop is used for pedals that you want to go after your amps preamp, which is where the amp gets its most of its tone coloration/gain If you were using a delay pedal for instance, and you put it before the preamp it would be a horrible mess as all the decaying notes would be distorted together into mush. Putting in the effects loop means that it happens the other way round, and the delay starts working after the note's been distorted. You arent using any such pedals and you're not getting your distortion from the amp anyway, so you dont need to use the fx loop.

Yeah, the sound of your guitar with any type of gain is directly influenced by how loud the signal is, thats why metalheads put EMG pickups and such in their guitars so they have a signal that hits their input stage harder for BREWTAL GAIN. A clean boost is wither a way to bring your clean sound up a little for solos if you're not already clipping, or to clip your amp harder if you are.

I used to have a Zoom ultra fuzz that did this. It would self oscilate and when you turned your guitars tone pot the pitch of the oscilation would change. Good times.

lechunnel posted:Cheers everyone for the delay advice. I've had a quick look around and much to my surprise, the Hardwire DL-8 (a digital delay) is getting a lot of props. I'm surprised because Hardwire is a Digitech line. And I've always treated Digitech pedals as cheap pieces of poo poo! But the DL-8 seems to get a lot of praise. Hardwire are apparantly Digitechs attempt at making "not poo poo" mid range pedals so I'd give it a shot. Line 6 echo park is really nice. Ibanez DE7 is actually much better than you would ever suspect. The tape sim blows my DD20 away. DD20 I hate, its sterile and has a stupid UI.

Tsunami Redux posted:Now that I've learned fuzzes are awesome, I've got a boss SD-1 and metal zone that I'm less than thrilled with. Can a higher gain fuzz produce gnarly metal tones (Aenima)? I was checking out that MXR fullbore metal too. Any OD experience? I was looking at singing trees. Aenimas guitar sound is three high gain amps; Diezel, Mesa, Marshall being played at once, a fuzz would be too mushy for metal. Just get a nice throaty amp (one) and maybe a pedal to overdrive it a little more if you dont like the stock tone.

I really like the Nova delays because I used to assume that all digital delays sounded exactly the same, I mean digital repeats the sound exactly, thats what it does right? But My boss sounds noticably cleaner than the line 6 I used to have, and the Nova is really freaking pristine. massive spider fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Sep 19, 2010 |

Right after getting an M13 I'm coming to the conclusion delay and looping are the only effects I ever really use and that I dont really need many guitar effects at all, let alone a big multieffects. However, the M13s looper features are boss as all hell and I cant give it up.

By contrast, the vanilla ISP decimator was fine for me if you can just leave it on the distortion channel, but if you're switching between clean and gain it kills too much of your sound.

Just thought I'd post this here, I seem to have a lot of delay pedals recently and I thought I'd muck about with them. A TC electronic flashback, a strymon el capistan, and a line 6 M9. Not really a fair scientific comparison, I just wanted to see which sounded more useful to me in a musical/mix situation. Flashback won. Popcorn posted:I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but my band is trying to use a loop pedal to loop a guitar part, but, inevitably, the drummer is having a hard time hearing the loop so he can keep in time with it. Any suggestions for how to fight this? Unless the loop is rhythmic enough as to have a clear pulse to it, yer hosed in my opinion, even if you can get it monitored to the drummer hes still in danger of "losing it" live. Solutions: retrigger the loop every time, put it on a backing track, some kind of solution that gets it to a click, perhaps using midi or something. massive spider fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Nov 9, 2012 |

duckfarts posted:Anybody have a Mooer pedal? A local shop is having a decent sale on them and I'm thinking about getting their pitch box and maybe the rat clone. I've owned both. The pitch box sucks, it doesent sound like its quite in tune, which is insane. The detune chours sounds are nice though. The rat clone on the other hand is amazing. It actually sounds better than the current production RAT 2s - its got a litle more grind in the low end and the lm308 chip they dont plus the option to switch to turbo rat mode. The selector switch on mine broke but I liked it enough to get another one. I've liked all the mooers I've owned except the digital ones. They do good clones but cloning DSP is obviously serving to be difficult for them. massive spider fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Nov 26, 2013 |

The flashback, boss DD7 and Delaylab are all baller although the delaylab is a bit big. I really like the sound of the flashback and have owned like 3. Really just get anything you want, I've owned most delays at that price range and they're all "good". The only ones I've ever been like "wow I hate this" are the memory boy and DL4. massive spider fucked around with this message at 13:28 on May 19, 2014 |

Rageaholic Monkey posted:What didn't you like about the DL4? Just curious because I wanted to get one of those eventually. That's what Dave Knudson uses to make Minus The Bear sound like Minus The Bear, and I've watched a bunch of videos on it and it looks crazy versatile. He uses it for the looper which is baller but the actual delay sound isn't that great. Also it forgets your tempo every time you bypass it.

philkop posted:Whats a cheap pedal (under $200 but preferably around like $100) to make some crazy noise. Is there any merit to the feedback pedals? the fender runaway looked pretty fun. I want a crazy sound to try to reign in and master Unfortunately I can't turn my amp loud enough. I like the fuzz factories noise too, I am considering just getting one of those but I just bought a twosome and don't need another fuzz (I suppose I wouldn't be using it like a fuzz.) I have thought about getting a delay and using some super quick slapback to fatten up my sound and hopefully increase feedbacky sounds but I was unhappy with the carbon copy. Even at lowest settings the sound sounded too much like an echo and less like a stutter. Maybe its the analog warmth? What about feedback loop pedals? If you want something that sounds like a stutter get a DD6 or the behringer copy, stick it on hold mode and tap it real fast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87fdts1vmBA

How about using a looper that works in stereo? One line selector splitting your signal to either L or R Send to L to start the loop. Use a line switcher, record to R for the second loop. I've never tried this though.

Boss SD1 is basically a tube screamer with asymettric clipping. If you can find it I'd recommend Hardwire CM2, another TS clone but with an eq and running at 15v internally, and can be had for cheap. I just picked one up and its great.

I'm in a weird New Music-y "classical" guitar trio, though we have been commissioning tons of pieces for electric guitars lately, so the "classical" moniker is up for debate. The M9/13 is still king when it comes to usability, Line 6 nailed it with that interface. If you cant stretch to that, zoom G3.

Plus, I know a music shop owner who can get me a great price on an M9 (or M13, but that seems somewhat excessive). Whether you prefer the effects is really a matter of personal taste really. And the interfaces on both are pretty similar the M series just have more buttons which is handy. Neither is poo poo I just personally like the M series. I used to really like running the M13 in looper mode because you can still use the top row of buttons for effect changes for instance.
