    Are you a 5 string or 4 string player?

    5 string user... Warwick Streamer NT1 Most of our songs are around B and the guitar player also has his low string B so yeah, not much of a choice but I also enjoy the sound a lot.

    Budget effects for post metal

    My MXR M80 arrived and after a quick test I like it. Chained like that on my home amp the Zoom brings some noise, even if bypassed. Tested it on the daisy chain and on batteries and it's noisy both ways. Tested it with different cables and it's the same. I also bought a Boss RC-30 for 75...

    Budget effects for post metal

    I'm not a bit fan of this as a general ideea. I would rather use it to layer stuff that I do with my own instrument. In an older project ( you can check it out here ) we planed to sing with sampled drums and on that track we had some extra stuff (like some piano) but we never got on stage...

    Budget effects for post metal

    That is a reasonable thing to do :) I'm not sure how i want to use a looper in the band setting. I mostly want one so I can experiment in my own time, play around, have fun and see what real uses I will find with it afterwards. Considering this probably any simple looper should do, at least for...

    Budget effects for post metal

    Ok, finally got home and looked at all the messages, so here comes another huge post :) I am getting more and more decided to buy a looper. I do like the demos of bass mosphere but I doubt that i would be using is that much so I can't really justify the cost. I would rather use that on power...

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I am away with work untill tomorrow but I will read everything carefully when I get home and will respond to you all. I think that I play clean for around 70 percent of the time, that's why I was considering a compressor. But yeah, I can skip it and get a better...

    Budget effects for post metal

    I agree but I live in Romania, not much available around here second... I checked reverb, forums and trade apps, except that mxr m80 nothing really nice. I own a fender bassman combo 100 (in our little studio) and a hartke hd 25 (for bedroom pracrice). But most of the time we practice in...

    Thanks, I will pay attention to this. As a matter of fact there is a used MXR M80 available on a local forum that i could get for around 110 euros. Should i?

    Budget effects for post metal

    Thank you all for the quick responses @Karson541 all your suggestions are great I could indeed use my zoom for tuner, volume and some other effects like delay but i don't like the fact that it's very big, it needs a different power supply or batteries and that it must stay first in the...

    Budget effects for post metal

    Hello, I am looking of building a budget pedalboard for live concerts in small venues with my instrumental post metal band (something a bit similar to Russian Circles). The context: We are a 3 member band (drums, guitar and me on bass) and we avoid looping too much so I need to fill the space...
