Members fishfartz Posted November 30, 2005 Members Share Posted November 30, 2005 for any of those pedals there are alot of options. with a wah some folks dont like the crybaby but i do, i just open it up and move the pot back 1 notch to tame some of those piercing highs. all of appetite for destruction slash used a stock crybaby and i think it sounded just fine. but to me a crybaby is better at the slow shift thing, just slowly sweeping it or setting it in 1 spot as a boost of frequencies. if you plan to rock it heavily for that vocal thing i think the vox's are better at that for an EQ, make sure to check out the dano mini fish'n'chips EQ (seriously). i would take it over a stock boss GE7 any day of the week. its totally transparent and quiet like a good EQ should be. if you can spring a little more the MXR 10 band EQ is also very quiet and smooth. as far as delay, i dont think you can go wrong with the digi-delay if you need longer delay times, it'll give you alot of options. i also love that dan-echo (the big steel one), you can get nice dark slaps out of it like the old recordings, but it does suck a tad of your tone. if you have the $$ id look at the boss DD-20, everything youll need in a delay, if not that digidelay is pretty happening. for a clean boost im not so sure, ive always relied on OD pedals with the drive all the way down but the volume/level maxed out to push my tube amps harder. maybe someone else can help you there. but its really a matter of taste and what works with your rig. just dont forget to check out the fish'n'chips - sure, its made of plastic but ive personally never seen one broken and its a great little EQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Code-001 Posted November 30, 2005 Members Share Posted November 30, 2005 EQ - Fish n Chips by FAR!! Trust me, it's sturdy. I've jumped on it (I weigh 190 lbs) just to see if it'll hold up and so far it has. - $20Delay - Boss DD-20 is the best pedal delay out there IMO. - $230Wah - I'm real interested in the Dimebag wah with all those adjustable settings. It's what I plan on getting next. - $150Clean Boost - Can't help ya here. Like the last poster, I use overdrives and/or my EQ to push my amps.

Members ScottIans Beard Posted November 30, 2005 Members Share Posted November 30, 2005 On the EQ front, has anyone tried the cheap Behringer EQ? Im very curious about it, but i think as its so cheap it must be noisy or tone colouring when disengaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the last poster, I use overdrives and/or my EQ to push my amps. i'm only going to use the delay to thicken up my lead tones coupled with the eq. so whats good for that purposei have an sd-1 but i'm looking at other options. i'm running a 30 watt laney tube amp at low volumes for a practice rig. would i be better off getting a hotplate instead of these pedals?

Members DenverDave Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 For a delay I use the Visual Sound H2O pedal. It has a very good delay AND a killer chorus built into the same pedal. Both are very good and flexible effects - and the price is pretty good too. For a clean boost I use a compressor - Dano Surf and Turf. I use it for a bit of compression and a nice boost for clean leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
