most recognizable pedals in terms of tone.

Sign in to disble this ad
well....how do i start off.... have you ever heard a pedal and you're like it's that pedal for sure! not like hey it's a flanger or chorus , blah , blah .....but the exact pedal. for instance, if i listen to a record or a live band i can usually spot out a ehx pog if it's being used (duh!). for me, that pedal has one of the most recognizable tones of all time. another would be the moog ring mod. what other pedals can you spot out easily?

I can usually spot a muff, but not much else. In more ways than one.

You can tell the difference between an AD9 and a Memory Man by listening?

And I thought I was crazy for being able to tell if the bass had a rosewood vs. maple fingerboard.

But in the mix?

My point was that I think Tomhanzo didn't get whoatherechunk's point about not just "this type of effect" but specific models of effects. He wasn't looking for "fuzz," he was looking for "Big Muff pi."

You're probably right. I need my coffee.

I DO think I could recognize the DMM clarity as opposed to the murky AD-9 sound, even in a mix. The difference would be that I'd HEAR the DMM.
