Members Player99 Posted January 24, 2012 Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 Lots of people are very particular about their boutique tube amps. (Including myself.) Hand made, point to point, NOS tubes. High end parts. Spending $1000's on them. Only to put pedals in front. Seems to defeat the purpose of the amp thing when I jam 10-12 pedals in front. It still sounds great, but it does seem to be sort of self defeating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WBigsby Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 I dunno, my handwired Carr sounds great with a Marshall Guv'nor in front of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 How is it defeating? You're still playing through a high end amp, just running (usually) high end pedals through it as well. One compliments the other, its not like a handwired boutique amp is suddenly going to turn into a Marshall MG the second you run an overdrive in the front of it. In short, STFU noob.

Members Player99 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 The point is I have 2 amps I use that sell for around $4000 each. They are identical. Then I put a 75 pedal in front of it (them). Seems like it is defeating the amp. I do have probably 60-100 pedals. So I am a pedal junky.

Members penelope twee Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 I presume that those people must prefer the sound of loads of pedals through an expensive amp to the sound of loads of pedals through a cheaper amp. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I am just saying it seems counter-intuitive to do things the way I do. It sounds great-amazing tone, but just to take so much care and high end amp toobery then to use whatever pedal, then make sure I have a super duper cable with O2 free copper... Not trying to fight with anybody. Just thought it was an interesting juxtaposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with my other amps when I A/B then I put the Fenders away. Even at lower volumes they don't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at the end of my tone chasing, at least when the two pedals I ordered this week arrive, and I build my new pedalboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
