Can we have a guitar pedals thread? (2 Viewers)

I have it on good authority that they are the best delays in the world, only ones better are the older Moog delays. I had an Ibanez AD80 in for repair a while ago and must say it also lives up to the hype.

I like the fact they have a wet only out. But it's crazy money

Deluxe Memory Man also has wet/dry outs. I'm sure lots of others do too, it's not too hard to implement.

A few lads made out like bandits on those when they were discontinued a few years ago, were going for mad money on eBay.

Yep! Though this is actually a new version. Longer delay time and limited to 750 or so.

Yep - Strymon, Analogman, Pigtronix - all have wet only options.

Some would say that things like the TES or the Echoczar are "better".

I think the Pigtronix - which can sound damn close to a TES - is at the nexus of sound quality and functionality.

Bought this on Sunday.
The analoguey trails are lovely and the looper is pretty nice too. Has a midi in and thru port which I always imagined looper pedals should have.

Loving it

It always annoyed me that I couldn't sync the DL4 up with an MPC. Seemed an obvious funtion to have on that pedal. Been lookingat those TC yokes actually. it's 9v, right?

It takes a 9v PSU, no battery compartment. It's 300mA but it seems to be running off a 200mA PSU with no issues so far

There's a newer version, the Alter Ego x4, which to me sounds a lot nicer, though still not amazing... but for the money it's a pretty sweet deal...

That demo is pretty cool... I'd think it would be even better in a band context... as on it's own it sometimes sounds a tiny bit dodgy...

Still I'd rather have a microsynth...

I'd sooner have a guitar that sounds like a guitar, but it's a clever thing

I think that - these days - lots of guitarists are being asked to cover a lot more range in gigs... if you know what I mean... so something like this means they can do that a bit more easily... and not have to have one of those atrocious midi guitar setups...

plus if you mix this with delay and overdrive and other fx it'll just be a new sound to write with, etc.

All true. It'd be great for a showband /cover band

I have a mate who has all sorts of digital trickery. He was showing me some of the stuff. "Look this is Radiohead...this is The Beatles..This is The Police etc etc" all very well done but apart from playing cover versions at weddings what's the point?
I guess by finding out how these guys made their sounds you can learn and add to your own repertoire but apart from that we are in showband country

I like that Vintage Flashback. It's now on the wish list even if I'd have little use for it.

B9 looks like it's based around the POG tech with more eqing to get it closer to an organ. I'll stick with my Sitar pedal for the non guitar type sounds.

Edit: and then I heard 99 tears, damn.

well... I think there's kinda two points that aren't about covers:

- many bands record stuff in the studio and then struggle to recreate it; essentially covering their own songs live - tools like this can potentially help them

- if you write with this, then it's just another way to play the guitar, another bunch of sounds, a new filter, etc. I often am - uninspired - by the guitar, and write on keyboards or bass, or whatever is at hand; a tool like this might help me reconnect in that situation

I get ya. I have no interest in this myself but I can see how it could be useful for proper musicians

We used to have a rule in one of my old bands that if you couldn't play it live it doesn't get recorded. So no overdubbing solos, no back up guitar tracks etc

punk rock you see

I'd say, that things like these do a better job of capturing the original gear sounds:

I'm still in love with my echolution 2 though...

I hear ya... I was in a touring punk band for years and recording an album was a 1-2 day process
