I've got to a point with my board where everything sounds nice and sits well in a band setting. I want to add a few pedals that don't sound so nice so I can challenge my sanity when I'm noodling at home  . - What are your favourite pedals for making noise?
- What types of effects should I be looking at?
- Are there any threads I should be reading instead of making a new one?
- More fuzz?
At the moment, I'm using:
Fuzz > Overdrive > Envelope Filter > Compressor > Chorus > Phaser > Delay > Reverb > Delay
I think I'm craving sonic destruction... that's normal though, right?

EHX Bassballs in a feedback loop does some crazy stuff, but has to be the bigger, wedge shapped one.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: America's High-Five | | WMD Geiger Counter is a whole lot of fun, if you have the patience. Ohnoho makes a couple of really neat feedback loopers, THOSE would be fun.
I used to have a lot of fun with a BMS through a TAW (occasionally a Pigtronix EP in between).
MORE FUZZ is always a good answer, too  It's interesting, discovering how well things stack in what order

Just remember often the best pedals in a feedback loop are not dirt ones its a common mistake people make.

Just remember often the best pedals in a feedback loop are not dirt ones its a common mistake people make. | I think the only buffered pedals I have are the Crowther Hotcake and Malekko Chicklet, neither of those do anything in the feedback loop. I think my Akai Headrush might be but I'd like to keep that out of a loop so I can use the phrase looper. I had a Boss BF-2 that went wild in a feedback loop, I might try and get hold of one of those again.
Is it mainly time based effects that work well in feedback loops?

| | | | get cheap pedals like the Dano food series and throw them in your feedback loop. i recently began experimenting with running several different pedals in a feedback loop and setting it up so that i can A/B between the feedback loop and one of the outputs on my bass. its a LOT of fun

Definitely going to try and work that into my setup. Quote:

Talk to me about the Fembot... are there many out there? Quote:

Crowther Prunes & Custard | I had a Moog Ring Mod for a while but the bypass drove my mad and I found it difficult to justify having it on the board given its footprint. I think that factor probably rules out all of the Moogers. That and the price...
I'll try and check out a P + C if I can find one to try somewhere, I love the Crowther Hotcake.

Another good trick is high gain boost / drive into a Digitech Bass Synth Wah. The hot noisy signal makes it's filters freak out!

I had a chance to mess with the Noise Box in a shop and it had me smiling from ear to ear. Funnest pedal in the world that wouldn't ever make it to a gig.
It is tough for me to justify spending the cash on it when I can't use it in a gig.
I've only heard clips of the Heliotrope, so I don't know if it responds the same way as the NoiseBox does. Listening to it made me think of the Noise Box, though. |
