So I'm finishing up this semester and getting ready for a somewhat busy gigging summer and decided to see what I could do with my pedal board with some extra gig money. Been researching around in threads for a few weeks now and finally figured out a semi-solid plan. Just looking for opinions on the set-up and what could be improved, added or taken out. I play a lot of funk and soul and dabble in jazz and hip-hop, but I wanted a board that could straight rock out when I needed it to.
The order of the pedals in their respective loops is still completely in the air, as I'll be trying all different things to get a sweet sound.
I was really sold on the fact that the
loop pedal could allow me to completely bypass a decently long signal chain and let me go straight to my amp when I need it. I also like to use multiple effects at the same time but hate tap-dancing to get them all on before a change, so it kind of solves that.
Basically you can see that the two loops are split into tone modelers/octave and pedals I want to have a wet/dry mix with. The OC-3, VT, etc loop would be loop one, so those pedals would hit the chain first.
I know the Flipster and the VT Bass are somewhat similar pedals, so I'm on the fence as to whether I'm getting both at this point. I've heard that you can get some really distinct tones out of each that you can't get with the other, so maybe someone can enlighten me on that.
This is a summer-long project that will be funded by gig money, so I have plenty of time to think things through. I already own the OC-3, the Bass Balls and the Dunlop wah and I'm selling two pedals relatively soon that will give me more than enough cash (hopefully) for the VFB-2 and the tube screamer. From there I'll probably get the tuner, the loop and
maybe the VT Bass and just sit on those for a few months before adding anything else.
So tell me what you think!
