Sign in to disble this ad
Looking to get a couple effects pedals for Christmas. I'm guessing 2 or so to play around with would be good. Any have any of their favorites they could suggest. I think I want some fuzz, and maybe an envelope filter (auto wah?).
Name a couple you think I should get, then name your faves. I'd like to buy and try some out, so if you have some good ones for a good price, let me know. My girl is searching for some Christmas gifts for me, so I'm suggesting pedals.
Nothing too expensive please, we have a limit this year...stupid economy.

Why limit youself to one fuzz pedal when something like this has a selection of 12 different distortion pdal types.
Also 3 seperate wha's (can be used at the same time) each with different pedal types and custom settings to choose from.

EHX Bass Big Muff Pi
However, if you aren't sure which effects you like or want, a multi-effects unit is the way to go. Get familiar with the general sounds and effects and expand from there.

Q-tron or derivative

That's pretty much my all EHX short-board (Black-finger, Russian Muff, Mini-Q) all bought mildly used <$175 for all 3 |

| | | | These two sound pretty good from the youtube vids I found of both of them.
Digitechn Bass Synth
EHX Bass Big Muff Pi
Any idea on good "used" pricing? Or anyone have one or the other you'd like to sell?

|  | God of Thunder...retired. | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Columbus, Ohio | | | I would start off by building a base of cheap but reliable or good effects that you shouldn't get rid of, even when getting into more pricey options. Use them to experiment with, and to see if they are "your thing". Some of these would be:
Sovtek Big Muff Pi Black reissue
EXK Bass Big Muff
Boss CE-5
Boss CEB-3
Boss BF-2
Bocc OC-2
MXR Phase 90
MXR M-80 Bass DI+
DOD FX25B
Digitech Bass Synth Wah
These pedals can be had relatively cheaply, and have found their way on to many pedal board of good players. Others here can suggest more I am sure. |
