Members Faber Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Either of my choruses - A Boss and a Roger Mayer. I get the urge to chorus about twice a year Boss eq - Now that I've learned to dial in my setup right, I don't need it. EB Vol pedal - I prefer to stick with the guitar's volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members indigoguy Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Boss DS-1 because it is the worst distortion pedal I've ever played Would agree its not much cop on guitar (except as a solo booster) but it sounds fab on bass. Just my recommendation to bring some ds1s out of retirement I have a marshall vibratrem that i hardly used until i got a powerall and now it seems to work better so gets more use (although none live as yet), also have a JD wah from a friend who sorta quit playing guitar that i can never seem to get my head around.

Members liko Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Boss Compressor/Sustainer. Always thought I'd want it for the heavier OD/dist sound, but I found that even when I'm playing high-gain, I prefer the natural decay of the note. It's also a bit hissy. I might get it upgraded to an Atom Smasher, but for now it just kinda sits there. I've noticed a lot of people aren't using their chorus pedals. I find a lot of use for mine on bass. It makes an electric blend well with acoustic guitars, and adds a little extra shimmer that's good for slower stuff. My CEB-3 is a pretty subtle example; other choruses I've tried go far more synth-y then this one can, good for Rush and similar sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DenverDave Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 My MXR Dyna Comp... I use it, but as little as possible. I love compression pedals, but after having the Keeley for a week everything else sounds bad - but I don't want to drop two bills for the Keeley at this point). I use the Dyna Comp as little as possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dmn23 Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 My Boss Metal Zone has been gathering dust since the day I bought it. I've tried every way I know how and I still can't get anything resembling a usable tone out of that thing. I'm probably the exception to the rule, but my chorus pedal (Boss CH-1 Super Chorus) stays on all the time. Just a smidge -- just enough to open up the sound, but not enough that anyone would recognize that a chorus was being used. Funny how what sounds lousy or mediocre in the bedroom suddenly sounds fantastic on stage or in rehearsal...I love my Barber Direct Drive but I could never really warm up to the Barber silver LTD until I took it to practice and fiddled with it just a bit. Now that's the core of my sound: Strat, compressor, LTD, chorus, and an occasional bit of delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metal_terrorist Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Boss DS-1 because it is the worst distortion pedal I've ever played. I bought a DS-1 a couple weeks ago and I thought it sucked so bad I had it on eBay the next day. I had considered modding it but I hated it so much I couldn't imagine any mod removing what I didn't like about it. I found a nice spot on the tone control where the tone was good but no gain setting made it pleasant. Maybe it's best used with a single coil/low output pu? I have an EMG 85 and it sounded like when you turn the factory stereo in your car up way too loud. Just blown-out muddy low-end and brittle highs. Definitely not a metal pedal. I wasn't even trying to get a metal sound but in front of my Triaxis and into the 2:90 alone I couldn't find a sound I liked out of it. On the other hand... I bought a Boss GP-20 Amp Factory off eBay and I was very unerwhelmed by it. I tried it direct as I do with a Digitech Genesis 3 for recording to PC. It was OK. Since I'm a nut I plugged it into the Genesis 3 and used it like an overdrive pedal. I was expecting a horrendous sound having just chained 2 digital pedals together but I was pleasantly suprised. Not sure I'll hang on to it but I think with some tweaking it could be very useful. I tried it briefly into my 2:90 and a cab with little to remark about. I haven't tried it yet into the Triaxis as an OD though. I think with the results I got with the Genesis 3 it'll be a nice sound though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Bear Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 I'll start off -These are pedals I don't necessarily want to part with, after all, they don't take up much space in my world, but they usually sit idle.In order of most neglect:1) Boss Flanger - too wild for me, the occasional flanging I may want I can get from my AD60VTX or my ToneLab2) DOD Grunge - To me it's good for a few laughs and then box it back up. Now made by DigiTech3) Boss Metal Zone - This one I actually need to play with some more since it's been a while, but it seemed a bit over the top and didn't sound particularly organic to my ears. I'd use it more if there was such a thing as backing off the gain on this thing so I could just use it as a EQ boost, but no go on this extreme machine. Everything but my ProCo Rat II.I love that pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
