Members endo23 Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Just saw Nels Cline play through about 40 effects pedals... Had no board, just a bunch of pedals spread out on the stage and some rather dicey lookin' patch cables, and guess what? He sounded INCREDIBLE. No one in the club complained about hiss, tone suckage, high-end loss, yada yada. Just play the freaking guitar already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sonaboy Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 Originally posted by Viperdc all those wires and sometimes non TB were eating my tone...How can you guys play with so many pedals? do you have special wires or something??? easy - we don't skimp on cables, and buffer (yes, TB can ruin tone just as easily as improper buffers) when needed. most of us do, anyway.

Members Yarmo Posted March 30, 2006 Members Share Posted March 30, 2006 you just got to cover all the bases man. good guitar( p/u, electronics), good quality cables, good amp. As for pedals, well placement, bypass, buffer and the like are all elements to be considered. don't throw your newly bought pedal anywhere in the chain and expect it to sound perfect. sometimes, it's position is crucial in relation to others for it to sound it's best.
