Favorite Effect Class?

[Ian Perge]

I went with "Pitch Shifting/Octave" as it was my first "quality" effect after a throughly crappy Boss BE5B multi-effects (a DigiTech Bass Whammy), the effect most consistently on pedalboards of mine throughout the years, and something I own multiples of for different reasons: the "SubWave" down-octave on my SWR Mini Mo' preamp that tracks like a mofo and can go from synthy grit to digital clean with a turn of a knob, and my Micro POG that I use primarily for up-octave and "Virtual 8 & 10-strings".

 

[RickenBoogie]

I couldn't really pick one class, as I enjoy several multi-pedal combo's on a regular basis.

 

[Nyarlathotep]

Fuzz. Its in all my fave music.

 

[BioDriver]

Love me some filters. My 3leaf is almost always on, and if/when I get a POG2 I will be abusing its LPF.

 

[nad]

Dirt, delay, and flangerization. In that order. I'm not going to pick just one. You can't make me vote, either.

[newbold]

well my phaser is an envelope follower.
my synth in a box has a filter section
my bassballs is envelope controlled...

...but my synth in a box has octave and I bought an OC-2...

my delay has modulation, and my envelope follower is also a mod pedal...and my bassballs sweeps...

...my synth in a box has dirt, and I have a drive/fuzz/dist pedal...

hmm...

 

[aMUSEd]

[G0rilla]

Voted for delay/reverb, because of the psychedelic feel it gives. But i have to admit, that i cant play normally without some grit/fuzz, so that would have been second vote. Also filtering is kewl, but not simple lo/hi pass, not even wah or synth, but vibe-like or arpegio effects, like Moog Ringmod or Prometheus does.

Turn down your feedback, man. It sounds like chainsaw...

 

[shinobi]

i like to use certain combinations actually. i like to use certain sets of different effects. like chorus+delay, octave+fuzz, octave+chorus... wait, OCTAVE!

 

[Grimoire]

Favourite - Delay
Most used - Modulation

 

[CrispyDelicious]

It's like choosing between steak and steak.

 

[ciledehcysp]

Since most of my overdrive comes from the amp, I voted Delay/Reverb.
A must have for atmosphere..

 

[MAMMOTHvolume]

fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[winterburn69]

I went with Chorus. I love mine. I'm looking into distortion and stuff. What's the difference between overdrive and distortion?

 

[lousybassist]

I could live without a delay of some sort, but I wouldn't want to. It's what I use the most - when playing solo (I seldom use effects in band situations) - and hence my favourite.
