What to buy?

Hey!

 

Thanks for checking this thread out.

 

So okay, i have just got some free money that i'm going to spend on a pedal or some pedals. It's not much, about 200 dollars. I will buy something off of ebay but i haven't made up my mind on waht to buy. Currently I have:

 

Boss ME-50 (modulation and delay mostly)

Boss PH-3

Boss TU-2

and a cheap-ass Behringer tremolo

 

I'm just getting into the pedal stuff and trying to expand my gear. What do think i should get? I play mostly hard rock but also jazz?I was thinking about a DD-20 and some line6 and Electro-Harmonix pedals. Should maybe get something else besides Boss.

 

Okay say what you think

I have to say that I don't like the ph3 it is way too digital/synthetic for me. it absolutely molests your tone.

 

 

i must agree but using it in the effects loop is OK and i really don't use very often

Okay guys, I'm back!

Got my DD-20, which I'm totally loving....

But a dude contacted me on a local Estonian forum and offered to buy my digital PH-3 for 120$..I was amazed and of course i said YES.. It's almost as much as a new one costs :D

But I'm not sure if a new phaser is the way i wanna go

So now i've still got my heavy-ass ME-50 (which i tend to love due to the harmonizer effect), my new DD-20, my TU-2. the happy-crappy Behringer tremolo

As I'm a student and don't have much money to spare, i need new ideas what to get at the price range of 80 dollars

Any recommendations are welome....i'm been thinking of getting a new distortion but i'm not sure i could find anything at that price...help me dear friends:wave:

hmm...what sound what sound...i myself play a lot of nu-metal and stuff like that (korn.pod ect.), but also i play with my brother in a sort of a jazz rock fusion band....i'm not really sure about the certain sounds...maybe a fuzz, maybe some modulation

which pedals do you love for that 80$ limit

It's hard for me to know due to the fact that in Estonia we mostly have only boss pedals:D

yeah..i've been thinking about a big muff pedal, but my concern is that maybe it is too muddy....



can you try any of the stuff bieke listed? a muff generally aint muddy, but if you can give it a try first, just so you know what you're getting into....

(check out the Isley Brother's 'Summer Breeze' to get an idea of how cutting a Muff can be :thu: )

EHX Big Muff - CAN'T TRY
ProCo RAT - CAN'T TRY
Boss OD-3 - HAVE TRIED AND DID NOT LIKE IT
Behringer Vintage Distortion VD1 - CAN TRY
Dunlop Crybaby - JUST BOUGHT ONE
EHX Small Clone - CAN'T TRY
EHX Small Stone - CAN'T TRY


I was really thinking of the sounds i wanna make...i really now wanna a distortion that has a large variety of tones...it's important that it has a good "Morello" sound and also a kind of a nu-metal sound that i prefer (sorry, born in the time when nu-metal was the sh*t)'

Also i was thinking that maybe I'd order the S.Clone and the H.Grail.....gotta think about that

recommend me a good distortion then
