Recommend me a Guitar Pedal (1 Viewer)

[Beanstalk]

I play a Mexican Tele through a Fender Deluxe and up until now I've just been using the amp overdrive pedal, but would like to add a bit of colour so I want to get one or two new pedals.


I'm the only guitarist in a 3-piece, so need to fatten up the sound. My musical style is pretty straightforward indie/rock/pop/whatever so I'm just looking for a good overdrive pedal, and maybe a delay pedal. What are the reliables?


I had a delay pedal before but never found it much use as it didn't have a tap tempo feature on it. Those Line 6 delay pedals look class but way too expensive. I used a Boss DS-1 last week as my amp was fecked and it sounded horrible, really metally. Tried a Behringer VD1 recently and it wasn't bad. Nice and cheap too.


If you could recommend a good pedal it'd be much appreciated.

Fatten up the sound eh?

I use it through a Fender Deluxe as well with either a Mustang of a Jazzmaster. It's got balls.

I've never used one but as a delay pedal the EH memory man is supposed to be great.

I like the sound of that Bigg Muff...checked out a few youtube vids with it...dirrrty nice...at that price I'm definitely getting it.


The boss DD-3 or DD6 looks like a handy pedal to have around but quite expensive...would the BEHRINGER DD100 or DIGITECH DIGI DELAY be a good subsitute for it?

savage.

try ebay for a line6 dl4 you'll easily get one for less than e150 or you could try the line 6 echo park (cheap but good alternative)

or a boss eq pedal for a fatter sound.

The Echo park is more in my price range, but I've read a lot of reviews about it mentioning a noticeable hiss.

I just need a decent delay pedal with an easy to use tap tempo feature.

It seems like the DD-6 tap tempo feature is a bit akward as you have to hold the pedal down for a couple of seconds before it kicks in.

check out some danelectro pedals, they're cheap and good. I have a fab tone distortion and equalizer both are well good

recently, 2 different mates of mine have been singing the praises of the boss blues driver. phil_b and ian (both post here) use it to beef up their sound. its pretty transparent, just makes everything sound bigger. deffo worth checking out.

DIGITECH DIGI DELAY


I use one of these, I think it's deadly

It’s a lovely pedal.

I was looking at the digitech and seems to be a cheaper version of the Boss delay...doh! If I knew it was any good I would've went with it.

Ah well, I have no patience...still I can't wait to get my DD-6 though...woo-hoo! New toy!

I don't think there's much difference between them, I'm used to the Digidelay and it does the weird glitchy shit well and loops about 4 seconds really nicely too. But like most things it's what you get used too

One thing I don't like is the backwards delay, there's no way or getting rid of the original signal and just having the reverse delay sound... small detail, but it would make the reverse delay so much better...

Very true. Awsome pedal. Adds pure crunch to your clean sound.

Had to reccomend the Big Muff first as I thought it would be what Beanstalk would be looking for. Its an immediate monster.

Cheers for the tip off, but the DD-6 is on the way.
