Members Knutsaq Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I plug straight in probably 75% of the time. The only effects I still own are a Cry Baby and a Hendrix Fuzz Face, so its not like I get real elaborate anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ShaneV2 Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 I play gay through the amp- it involves plugging into the amp's output jack. Sometimes you end up blowing a tranny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stevetemp Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 What in holy hell is up with this thread? Christ, I have a hard enough time keeping track of everything and everybody....now this? I usually use effects/preamps. One time I had to use a 3 channel amp only (fergets a cable derp). I did just fine. It's not like it's some badge of honor, heroship, or bragging rite. It was a piece of cake, easy as pie. I concentrated neither no more nor no less on my playing and the songs. A couple things were a bit hard to do...like U2 New Years Day, and What Are Words For. I don't think anyone noticed or cared. But I do it for me. I enjoy creating different sounds and textures. It's not like you have to forget the song to use the toys. You still have to play the song. If done correctly, there's no doubt (for me ) the music is BETTER because of it. Your genre and mileage may vary of course. But, I always make sure the gear that I am using makes it easy and convenient for me to do exactly what I want. It's why I use things like the Tonelab, HD500, and Mustang III, and not say the one bestest amp ever with a bunch of pedals...that can be hard to nail your idea (and practically apply them).

Members z28talon Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Straight through my amps. Wouldn't have it any other way. Each of my amps has a good clean channel and a drive channel that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members diddlybo Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 When I play thru my Rivera or Carr, I'll use no pedals, not even a tuner. When I play my Allen (DR knockoff) I use pedals to get some grind going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sinnerx96 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just a Turbo Tuner. Every once in a while a wah. Sounds best to me that way, and less {censored} to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members draelyc Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I rehearse that way most of the time, up until right before a gig, and then I bust out the full rig for at least the dress rehearsal. I like to have my full fx palette for gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madrigal77 Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I can't live without my MXR 10 band in the loop. Anything else I can live without, but the MXR just seems to kick things up several notches, and once you get used to the sound of having it on, you can't go back.

Members tech21man Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 You do that even with the 5153? I always just wanted delay for leads maybe some chorus on the cleans and a solo boost. My amp has a pretty good built in solo boost, cleans thankfully I don't play that much ({censored} cleans play distortion) and the other guitarist pretty much cranks and pumps when playing rythm and makes my delay sound useless unless I go too loud or too wet on the delay which I don't like...(totally different if you are the single guitarist in a band!). So straight in for quite some time, {censored} true bypass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. In fact, the 5150 series seems to take an EQ better than just about anything else I've tried, and the 5153 is no different in that regard.
