Need just one more pedal. Help me.

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, so heres the lowdown. I've been searching high and low for a pedal to round out my board. Ive got fuzz, wah, overdrive, delay, preamp, octave and noise reduction covered. I'm thinking some kind of modulation is in order, but I've searched the interwebs for days, and I still can't find anything. Please help me.
Edit: I like play doom, death, stoner and groove metal, if that helps any.

It's the interwebs that tell you you need another pedal. You obviously don't need it to fill a gap you are experiencing.

IMO.

If there's a sound you need, or hear in your head, that you can't get, you need a pedal.
If there's a space on your board... leave it until you find a sound you need.
If you just have a burning desire to spend money - send it to me.

That's a good plan Rickenboogie, I just may do that. I've been eyeing a few more fuzzes. The Zve Matstotron has been on my list for a while, so has a chorus of some form. To Mr. Clifton, I've been using the interwebs as a tool to search for various effects that peek my interest, it ain't telling me nothin'.

Get a Flanger pedal. They sound wicked with fuzz. I use the MXR flanger re-issue. A good phaser is also a good choice. I also mix the fuzz with a MXR Phase 100.

Since you have a thing for fuzz... I say get an Oxide; it's fuzz state of the art.

I also second the recommendation for modulation of some sort as it sound awesome with fuzz!

+1 to phasers or flangers with fuzz.

Also, have you thought of trying a low pass filter? I'm GASing for a Xerograph right now so that may be the GAS talking...

I'm thinking that you need an Electro-Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress, if modulation is what you're looking for =D

BF-2

Got mine a few weeks ago and rather than using it on a lot of stuff and then cutting back (which I tend to do with most effects when I first get them) this has been the opposite.

Maybe check out a good fuzz, octave and filter combo or just 2 of the 3. You will eventually get the third one though. I just got me a Brown Dog and now I am looking for an Agent00 funk filter. These with my BOD will end my GAS I just know it..?? Or you could just get the Trunk Monkey....

I vote phaser.

I have an EHX Small Stone and a Boss CE2 Chorus on my board. I love them both, but if I could only have one, it would be the phaser. It's very funky, but it seems to add a nice amount of warmth and smoothness. When used in conjunction with a fuzz and/or octave, it just sounds awesome.

Well, if you love doom, think about getting an EHX Holy Grail (or Haily Grail+) to stick before fuzz. It sounds awesome for super slow note blooms and gives you ridiculous sustain.

Octave pedal. OC-2 now.

My board is all dirt right now, but an octave or filter can also be fun additions (albeit never useful in my context)
