Post-Rock and Metal Pedal Boards?

as far as post-rock, it depends on whether you are the guy holding down the melodic low-end, or if you're adding some chaos of your own.

Fuzz, reverb and delay are your friends.

I personally use: Boss RV-3, Line6 DL4, a Little Big Muff, and a russian green muff. Fuzz > RV-3 > DL4 is great for creating noisy/ambient walls of sound.

 

Bands like Russian Circles/Tera Melos/Explosions in the Sky use the Whammy IV. I'm saving up for one myself. I play a lot of experimental/psychadelic/post-rock stuff. I have a DL4/DD-3/Ibanez Bass Synth (mehh)/ODB-3 (it works)/Russian Muff/Boss Chorus. Can get some pretty cool sounds with OD/tons of overlapping delay.

 

In my band (post-rock with some math rock and doom elements), I use:

Boss CS-2
Supercollider
Sansamp BDDI
EHX Memory Man w/ Hazarai

 

I play hardcore/metal and only one pedal while on a gig:
Boss OD-3

And i own a Boss Gt-6b that i mostly use in our reharsal-room. Just for the fun of it.

i play hard rock / metal with one of my bands - lpb1, mole, eq (to even out instrument levels), lomenzo drive, bad monkey, BBM ( and MXR M80 if needed for di)

 

For awhile it has been Fulltone OCD-> Bluebeard Fuzz-> Boss RV-3, but here soon I would like to essentially do an entire pedalboard makeover. I want to use some variation of Tuner-> Original (or big box reissue) RAT-> Fulltone Fatboost v1> Delay (probably Malekko)> Reverb.

I love my RV-3, but the volume drop in a few of the modes is starting to bother me, so I'm thinking of forking up the cash for a VanAmps model of some sort. I have a Bass Whammy on it's way to me which might see some use, but I will admit that it is more of a collector thing for me. I also might add a real fuzz to the board. I love my Bluebeard, but I've been thinking of picking up another SuperFuzz of late.

 

I have one pedal a Big Muff YAY!!!!

 

dude, metalcore is wayyy different than post metal, and even more different than post rock!

 

progressive metal here:

Line 6 Rotomachine
Morley Little Alligator volume pedal
Line 6 DL-4 Delay Modeller


Leslie emulator as an alternative for chorus, less tonesuck than a chorus but very mellow for mellower parts.
Volume pedal for volume swells.
Delay for dimension (also mostly on mellower parts, or technical solos).

 

Ambient/Post Rock

Boss DD-20
Fulltone OCD
Line 6 MM4
Digitech Digiverb

 

Thrash/Crust Metal-y band:

EHX BBM
Boss ODB-3
EHX Holy Stain w/ Expression Pedal
Boss CEB-3


Messing around with my room mate doing post-rocky stuff:

everything in my profile plus;
Devi Ever Eye Of God
Boss DD-20
Ibanez Weeping Demon




*I had a Whammy IV but hated it. I sold it (for a good hunk of change mind you). I really wish Digitech would re-release the Bass Whammy... those E-Bay bidding wars on them are out of hand...

 

I <3 post hardcore, doom and grunge. Oh, and genre hopping. I'm not afraid to mix funk, pop and dance with my post-hardcore

Bass >> MXR Blue Box >> BYOC A-Twin >> Ibanez Weeping Demon >> Eventide PitchFactor >> Boss DD-6 >> DOD FX79 Punkifier >> Boss RC-20xl >> amp

 

my band plays thrash / almost hard rock variations,... think of a new band trying to be progressive but still learning lol

my pedals are:
Ibanez Pd7 for goto distortion
Tz-2 fuzz (rarely used as it loses out in the mix no matter what I do with it )
devi ever Cherry pop (destroy all fuzz)
valcoder tremolo
DL8 delay (used as modulated delay, so almost a chorus+delay)
and ibanez weeping demon,...

for the most part I play clean or with the PD7 on but use the above for spiking it up a bit,... I'd love a bigger board so I can fit my ps-3 and expression pedal on as well as noise box and a few others,... but for the sake of holding the low end and the occasional spice I will have to make do with the above for now!

 

I guess my band broadly might come under post rock, we play with alot of post-rock bands, we're kinda grunge/prog-ish:

My Board+the rest of my pedals (majority up for sale):




Tonebender is great for stoner/post metal/blah blah big riff music

 

Man... that shape though...

 

I notice you have a digitech "hardwire" stereo chorus pedal on your pedalboard. I was wondering does that pedal is work well on bass?

 

Hardcore with post-rock/noise/industrial elements

NS-2 (I turn it off everytime I want feedback)
Blue Box
TS-9
TZ-2
CS-3
PS-5
TR-2
CEB-3 (maybe changing it to a CE-5 for more extreme stuff)
BF-3

 

heavy-ish stuff (check my sig) but I like dirt.

 

We play instrumental rock, mostly call for lots of distortion for the loud parts trying to work in more delay effects etc. but with two guitars and a synth a lot of that is all ready covered.

Here's my board:
