Opinion: Is this stupid?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm trying to get another board together and ran into a dilemma. I have a Dunlop 105Q and Bluebeard combination that I like, but I also like my Foxx Fuzz/Wah. They are both unique tones and I love what both combos give me. I guess my question is: Do you think this an exercise in redundancy, or should I just put them all on my board?

One question you may ask yourself is; will an audience really notice the difference between the Foxx and the 105Q/Bluebeard? Another question would be; will the difference between the two inform your performance regardless of whether or not the audience notices the tone differnce? IMHO if the answer to either or both questions is yes, it's worth having both on the board.

+100

If you have enough room on your board to put both than go ahead!

Why not have both? There are plenty of people that have 3 or 4 delay pedals on their board...

yes, it's redundant. you should just send the Foxx Fuzz/Wah to me. that'll solve that problem.


seriously, put 'em both on. you may find some funky combinations that use all three! that'd either sound awesome and massive, or like crap. either way, sounds like fun!

I don't think it'd be redundant--they are two different combos--now if you did the same two-pedal combos, with the same settings, then I'd consider it redundant

I have two delays on my board, plenty of guitarists (Trey Anastasio, Stevie Ray Vaugh, Kenny Wayne Sheppard) have run dual Tube Screamers in their setup. I see no reason for you running two different wah setups to be any different.

I agree with Snake. I've had more than one of a particular type of pedal on my board before. I especially utilized the different effects while recording. For one song, I'll want the extra touch-sensitive feel of the Hotcake, but for the next song I'll want a sharper biting distortion found in a Devi TP (and I even layered that track with a Bluebeard). I guess it depends on how you use either setup. Do you really need both on your board? Are they different enough to necessitate both on the same board?

Either way, IMO, it couldn't hurt to have both... but I am generally unable to resist almost any pedal...
