OK, so I am at a loss. I want EVERYTHING!!! haha. I love EHx pedals so much, there’s a few I want, I’d love to hear your ideas.
So first, my sound is very textured, very clean (usually) guitar that I do a lot of textural and tonal shaping with. I like to make my guitar sound like many things besides a guitar along with the usual guitar sound! (my music is linked at the bottom you can get an idea)
So here is my setup: guitar > Blackstone overdrive > Crybaby 535 > POG (when it arrives this week!) > Small Clone > Holy Stain > Line6 Echopark > 65 Twin Reverb reissue. (& I actively use the reverb & trem on the amp)
So you can see I do a lot of modulation and just sound tweaking stuff. I love the Holy Stain for the reverbs (So I basically have 3-spring from amp, room & hall). I DO NOT want a Big Muff Pi (blaspheme! I know)…I just do not use Fuzz, ever. I’m more looking at: Deluxe Memory Man (or should I wait for the Memory Boy???)…Small Stone…Deluxe Electric Mistress…Tube Zipper (for the envelope & the Trill mode with a slightly distorted sound)…what am I missing? (BTW, I tried the Flanger Hoax and liked it but just could NOT get over the hiss & the volume drop…it was not usuable in a live situation)
So EVENTUALLY I will have all those things…but what should I get next? You know, bang for the buck wise, as far as tonal options. Looking at my setup, I am starting to stumble upon fun ways that the effects effect other EFFECTS, not just the guitar sound (make sense?) Basically, I want to be able to make my guitar sound like as many things as possible.
Whaddya think guys?

or a looperI was thinking frequency analyzer. it does make your guitar sound not like a guitar so i guess you would like it mhuxtable
April 10, 2009 at 1:07 am #95511julianModeratorfrequency analyzer is a great creative instrument
opens you up to a new microtonal world
April 10, 2009 at 3:14 am #95512mhuxtableMemberyeah i was thinking about that too…i did use a ring mod in another one of my songs…
hate to admit it…but i was thinking about holding out for a moog ring mod..eep…!
April 10, 2009 at 5:02 pm #95535julianModeratorWell aside from different features they sound different, and from what I’m told, some prefer the frequency analyzer.
Personally I want to have both though.
April 11, 2009 at 12:22 am #95548mhuxtableMemberI would def be ok with both!! I did pick up a deluxe electric mistress yesterday for $75 on Craigslist!! WOOT. Freaking LOVE this pedal. I’m still playing, but last nite at band practice, i totally got some weird Pink Floyd type psychadelic sounds.
Yeah I don’t mind having a ton of pedals…especially the big box ones. I prefer them actually. All this “the diecast boxes are better for pedal boards” is just hogwash for me. BUILD A BIGGER BOARD!!
But that’s for another forum topic i guess…
