Members ToneWickerMan Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 I dig it... how about a delay or phaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BR4D Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 I would add a delay for sure. Then you'll be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRBain Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Do you like it? If so, it's fine. The only things that I can identify that I would call 'improvements' would be a more accurate tuner, a different, smaller board (but I don't like those Boss ones), a transformer-isolated PSU, and some quality cables, but these are all minor things. What you have is good; make music with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesfella Posted March 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well, I'm currently saving up some money to get a new amplifier and I don't have a clue on what to get yet (see other thread). Some amplifiers have good reverb/delay built-in. A phaser would be cool and I like the effect, but I just don't see myself use it a lot. A tremolo would be cool also, but again, I see it as a fun little extra. I don't really Do you like it? If so, it's fine.

What you have is good; make music with it. Yeah I'm totally happy with it as it is now.I have a couple of questions now, though, haha:Isn't this tuner accurate? The guy at the store told me it's a good one, and to me it sounds like it gets the job done. What would a different PSU do exactly? Can you suggest which cables you'd use? Would this really make an audible difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Capsule Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 If your amp is going to have delay built in you might want to consider a different amp. Looks alright though aside from the needs delay that has already been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have never played any of those items so I feel as though I would be ill equipped to rate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starmansam Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I, personally, would not ever rock a board like that. that said, if your moniker is anything to go by, bluesfella, that board probably sounds perfect for what you play. it certainly is a sweet set up, if a bit large for the pedals you have on there. what guitar(s)/amp(s) are you using this with?

Members King Rat Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 yeah a simple analog delay or a big digital delay would be good. then you are golden! then maybe a ce-2 for a simple light chorus/buffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sameoldbluesman Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'd put an analog delay or reverb on there if it were me. But you might enjoy a rotovibe, or something swirly/rotary like (Chorus, phase, trem)7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 If you like your pedalboard, why would you want random strangers who have never heard you play to "rate" your setup. If you're happy, then play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members McManus Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Consider a Marshall voiced 2-channel amp and one of those small Planet Waves clip-on tuners. Trade in all of that stuff towards the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Delay, looper, phaser, vibe, fuzz very bare bones waht you have for our tastes throw an M9 on there or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fetch Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Diamond Comp (set so you can't hear it), Goatkeeper (on basic square wave settings), Eventide Space (hall setting) and Strymon Timeline (just to be sure/infinite stuff for when you feel like being youthful and vintage at the same time).

Members bluesfella Posted March 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into some of the stuff mentioned here. As for the reason of posting this: I was just wondering how you guys like it, that's all. I don't see anything strange about that. I'm always open for any suggestions to improve {censored}.

Members macadood Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 those were our suggestions! get more pedals! if youre just playing straight blues and your setup works for you then thats great. but hcfx demands tremolo, delay, fuzz and some phaser for the slow bits. or an m9 if it will fit for a looper, delay, reverb, comp, OD and all sorts of fun nick nacks and filters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Seems like a good basic setup. Personally, I'd get a nice all around delay. The TC Flashback is pretty nice it seems and they're from your area, I believe. Once you get a tube amp you might also like to get a basic fuzz pedal or maybe not. It might not be your thing. It's true you could get reverb on your amp. If you're getting a tube amp, though, you're unlikely to find one with delay built in so that's generally going to be a pedal thing (unless you get some digital modelling amp, but that doesn't seem like what you're after).
