Other Pedals I Should Look Into?

[Higgins666]

Now, I've just got an itching to try & maybe buy some new effects (although the next pedals on my shopping list are a tuner & EQ) I'm currently running a board like this

Bass -> Dunlop Bass Crybaby -> Ashdown LoMenzo Hyperdrive -> Blackstar HT-DistX -> EHX Big Muff -> Digitech Synth-Wah (set to synth) -> Nobels Phaser -> Aria Chorus -> Aria Flanger -> Digidelay -> Amp

Now I'm currently playing in afew different bands, ones kinda southerny bluesy hard rock, ones a doom/noise band, ones thrash & ones a neo classical project. I'm wondering, what effects would you guys suggest for me to try out & maybe add to my board?

So far I'm looking into an octaver & a ring modulator.

Seems like you have the basics covered pretty well but as always; the sky is the limit man.

When I see octaver and "doom/noise" in the same post I think OC-2 specifically for it's glitchiness on low, long sustained notes.

You need Moog. It doesnt matter which one you get, though the MF101 Lowpass Filter/Expression pedal combo is probably going to serve you best.

I really like those pedals, but I don't see how they will be useful for him in a southern rock band, doom or neoclassical.

You have a point. Though, He is considering a Ring Mod, which Moog makes. I will say that I have used all of my Moog pedals in a classic rock environment, and that my Freqbox has proven itself essential for my solo doom/noise excursions.

to OP: What do you want in a Ringmod?

I honestly have no idea, I've never used one, but I've heard some clips of a Moog & I quite liked it, so I'm thinking of trying to find somewhere I can try out some to get my barings with them.

Yeah, I was thinking of looking into the Boss, I've tried the OC-3 & quite liked it, but alot of people on here like the )C-2, so in my mind that just means try it out & see which I prefer

[warwick.hoy]

Peoples rub with the OC-3 (rightly or wrongly) is that it is digital while the OC-2 is analog. The OC-3 has a Poly mode which I can only assume means that it tracks chords fine. It also has a OC-2 mode but I've heard that it isn't as faithful sounding as the OC-2 itself. Honestly I have no experience with the OC-3 and can't comment on it's tracking or sound. If I were to try a different octaver, it would probably be the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe.

Hmmmm, then what I think I might do is go into my local guitar shops & camp there trying out every single octave pedal they have in.

What is Stoke-On-Trent?

The Moogfooger is the best of any ring mods I have tried. i'll let somebody else tell you why you'll want to use it in a looper

I gotta put a word in for the EBS Octabass. Costs more than an OC-2 but less (used) than the new MXRs. Can be considerably tamer (read: more hi-fi) than the OC-2 when you need it to be. Nice thick, true-sounding octave that sounds awesome soloed. Very good tracking for an analog octaver - doesn't limit you to short notes or any of that nonsense. Single-note octave allows you to play the occasional chord, even.

I think the Octabass the ideal octaver for your all-around rock needs.

Nope, were not on the gigging circuit yet, it's more of a back project, the most of my work is with the hard rock band (Blue Origin)

Hit me up when you're ready for it, we'll make weird scary noises in Manchester. [/derail]
