Members Texas Noise Factory Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 The fact that I use so many pedals virtually assures that I will never become famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just worked Fishbone at the NorVa a few weeks ago (Excellent show, I designed/ran lighting for them). He used a Sadowski straight into an SWR rig, no effects at all.

Members Retrovertigo Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 claypool has a lot. he might not have the most, but IMO he wins when it comes to using the most effects. he can get crazy with the Boomarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jannejava Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 anyone seen bootsy collings live? I saw him once and he used three fridge-sized racks and a well oversized floorboard connected to it. I don't know what it was, sounded just like envelope-filters to me. that was even more than doug wimbish had when I saw him with jungle funk. ...did I mention that bootsy had four output jacks om his bass. that's cool ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron C Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 Originally posted by fretless http://www.dougwimbish.com/ absolutely!, i've seen a clinic of him once, he had about 3 meters of pedals in front of him! http://www.dougwimbish.com/gear.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HAMERMAN Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dave Larue has a pretty serious rack although I think it's mostly various forms of compression and distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members takeout Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 It's Bootsy or Wimbish in a landslide. More effects than two Guitar Centers combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgranger Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'll go with Doug Wimbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members __tony__renaud Posted July 13, 2005 Members Share Posted July 13, 2005 Wimbish uses the most pedals out of any player I know of, famous or not. THe stuff you see him onstage with is about a sixteenth of what he actually owns.... What makes him unique is that he uses the pedals creatively and artistically in a way that is instantly identifiable as Doug's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NV43345 Posted March 31, 2006 Members Share Posted March 31, 2006 Originally posted by lingua latina The answer is Billy Sheehan. I have a Bass player magazine from a few years back, that compared Billy's & Doug's rigs. They both had almost the same amount of connections. Billy more in the rack and Doug on the floor. I had about the same amount. I can't remember how many, but it was allot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mahatma Posted April 1, 2006 Members Share Posted April 1, 2006 There was a Greg Lake interview in a guitar or bass magazine many years ago and he related a story about how he was doing a sound check and he noticed that one of his foot pedal's indicator light was flashing on and off when he hit certain low bass tones. He called his tech over to see what was wrong and hit a low note and the tech said the pedal light was okay, but Greg said the light was flashing. To make a long story short- Greg was standing in front of his mega-watt amp and the sound was causing his eyeballs to dance around in their sockets making the indicator light appear to cycle on and off.
