Members Ben Glass Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 What do you use your effects for?Just to get a really 'good' tone?or to get crazy sounds? I'm really into making my guitar sound really psychedelic, which is obviously why i like effects, what about you lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 Most of the bands I've played in have been fairly conventional rock music in various flavours, so my effects have been fairly basic and aimed towards getting "good" tones. Several of them are there to safisfy my own strange desires to make wacky noises which may or may not be wildly inappropriate to the music I play.

Members FranklinD Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 "What style of music do you play? " Why I play both! Country and Western! Okay, I play Modern Rock, Jamband and Funk/Jazz and Blues. But, I have the effects mostly for Psycadelic jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vince Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 I play Worship music (I'm a worship leader at my church), which is mainly rock based.I also play in a funk/soul band.I use my effects for getting good tones, nothing too crazy anymore.

Members LavaMan Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 Right now I play a blues/classic rock mix at blues jams I go to every week. I have a few effects: Keeley Compressor, Visual Sound H2), and a Dunlop wah - but lately I have been plugging straight into my amp. Although, I have GAS for a Koch Multitone II 100W combo...

Members amanonfire Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 i play in 2 bands, one is a doom metal band, the other is more indie rock, early 90's sounding stuff (think 1st three dinosaur jr albums, and let it be by the replacements mixed with john prine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BR4D Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 What kind of music I pay just depends on who I'm playing with. I dabble in everything, but I'm not particularly good at ay of it. I normally try to find effects that help me get "good" tone for what that's worth, but if they do something out of the ordinary then that's cool too.

Members TrashFace Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 I play stuff like dredg or incubus. so some good drive and cleans with delays and interesting chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 I play in a country rock cover band. We do stuff like Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, "Sweet Home Alabama", "Keep your hands to yourself" "Mustang Sally" We also do a lot of rock: "Jump" "Man In a Box" "Here I go Again" We also do a lot of funk and R & B - "Brick House" "Superfreak" "Shake Your Booty" "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" As much as I HATE playing "Mustang Sally" ... it fills up the dance floor EVERY time....

Members preservation Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 i play with a drummer and thats it.we incorporate a tiny bit of samples & drum machine in our sound, but i rely mostly on live looping and pitch/delay effects to really fill in the sound.he hits hard so i like to keep my amps LOUD.its not your typical indie duo like DFA or lightning bolt, etc-the songs have many more parts...much more quiet/heavy/fast/slow/etc...not very mathy but a good amount of syncopation. we plan on recording a 7" or full LP this summer : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members erksin Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 Roots rock and Blues mostly... I use various dirt boxes (COT50, Blue Boy, Timmy - stacked or on their own) , Clyde wah sparingly (I like to park it for different OD flavors), DLS Chorus~Vib for Magnatone-style Vibrato tones, and Jacques Prisoner for Echoplexy slapback stuff.

Members HuskerDude Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 Rootsy rock stuff ala The Replacements, The Band, Wilco, Gillian Welch.I use pedals to spice things up on occasion, and because there are few things in life more satisfying than 10 minutes of feedback and delay noise after an acoustic country ballad.
