Right now I have the RP-80, the Crybaby and a Danelectro PB and J Delay pedal, which are all good effects. The main problem i've had is that the crybaby and danelectro don't work well with the RP-80 for some reason. The RP-80 is a good tool but I think I'd rather go out and get a nice Fender tube or a Marshall tube, depending on whether or not I want to buy a distortion pedal or use an amp with a good distortion and mediocre clean sound.

The moral of the story is that I've been playing for almost 7 years, and I still have no concept of good guitar tone.]]> From Here to There Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/paged/2/#post-200036 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/paged/2/#post-199966 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 09:59:57 +0000 From Here to There jeremyd https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/paged/2/#post-199966 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197694 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 21:35:28 +0000
But definitly a good tube amp a good overdrive pedal and a good dealy pedal will get you pretty darn far!]]> From Here to There Flashback https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197694 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197687 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 20:27:14 +0000 From Here to There The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197687 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197681 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 19:42:40 +0000
the pedal board, a digitech RP3, had a ton of fun in it, but not my tone.

then I found a tubescreamer.
next was a reverb or delay unit. I settled for a GiGA delay by Boss. very nice, but I dont use all the functions yet.
then an MXR compressor came along. I like it alot clean and with the tubescreamer...tons of added sustain and string clarity using it.

I was getting really close to my tone now.

I added an equalizer to control freqs and use it as a lead boost. and the final touch, becaue I play lap slide too, was an Ernie Ball volume pedal. it controls output, and I use it for cool swells in slide.

I fooled around with an assortment of Danelectro pedals and never liked any of them.
a friend had a few Zoom brand pedals. didbt like them either.

so I have settled for what I had and fiddled with the knobs on my guitar, amp, and stomp boxes and I can say I have found my tone.

tubescreamer turbo, MXR compressor, delay, and a nice tube amp (Fender Vibrolux).


my advice for starting out with nstomp boxes :
start with overdrive pedals, maybe distortion if you are into metal.
then find a delay pedal.
with just those two you can go far.]]> From Here to There dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197681 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197669 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 16:31:48 +0000
My theory is that after the initial experimenting phase, I'll settle into a few comforable sounds that I keep coming back to, then I'll get a couple of (more durable) pedals to do just that, and sell off the multi effect unit.

This is exactly how I progressed through the effects world. I started out with a Digitech multiple effects processor. This helped me get a good feel for the different sounds out there. After maybe two years I sold off the multieffects rig because it did not offer the same versitility per effect as just single stomp boxes (I also didn't really need some of the effects for the music I was playing). Since then I have be toying with single effect boxes in an effort to develop my own sound.

So with that, it might be beneficial to start with a multi-effect unit and go from there.]]> From Here to There Guitar4k https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197669 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197641 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 07:16:06 +0000 From Here to There art&lutherie https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197641 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197636 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 06:22:53 +0000 From Here to There grungepb https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197636 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/your-first-effects-pedal/#post-197635 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 06:20:54 +0000
