Octavio posted:Okay so I'm interested in buying an effects pedal, but I don't know where to begin. I've never bought an effects pedal before... so I need some help. I've got a price range of about $200-$250 The tone of this post tells me that you want a Pod. Learn about effects and chaining from that, then decide if you want individual effects.

So I've almost got everything in my board done, except I need two more things: a delay and a reverb. Is there a good unit out there that can do both well to save the valuable real estate on my board?

Agreed posted:Damage Control Glass Nexus has delay and reverb, along with a modulation of your choice. Big goddamned pedal, but pristine sound quality. That looks amazing, but it looks bigger than two pedals and does way more than I need.

So I need (want) a fuzz pedal now that I have everything else I needed (wanted). Seeing as how there are probably a few thousand choices out there, where is a good starting point? Other than Devi Ever and Zvex, what are some good fuzz brands out there? Also, is there anyone who makes a clone of Zvex's Machine pedal?

I guess I should have included what specifically I was looking for. Basically, I want the most hosed up, textured, sputtering, 'gently caress you in the rear end and not call you the next day' fuzz. Bonus if you can switch it or roll it off and get a more normal fuzz sound. I've got an octave pedal so I have no need for an octave function.

I think I found it, gentlemen. Has anyone used a Catalinbread V8?

archie posted:dear guitar people, There are probably hundreds of thousands of different distortion effects so you might have to help us by narrowing it down. Do you want a small amount of breakup to warm up the sound? Do you want a saturated but controllable effect? Or do you want a full on meltdown type sound? What is your budget?

archie posted:yeah it wasn't the greatest description... 'saturated but controllable' sounds like the one i'd be keen. no budget contraints as i'm sure most of them would be cheaper than the at least $1k i'd be spending on a rack for the same purpose. I'd recommend going through the different pedals on this page and this page and listening to the demos to help you make your choice. The most famous examples are the Boss DS-1, the Big Muff, or anything with the words "tube" or "screamer" in it. Personally, I'm a huge fan of all the Zvex distortions (you said you had a big budget, right?). The Homebrew Electronics Big D is fantastic as well and probably one of the most versatile distortion boxes you can find.
