So unwrapped myself a velvet fuzz for my birthday this weekend... thought I'd share a few thoughts.
First off - gorgeous! This is definitely Wampler's coolest looking pedal, the colors and graphics are just awesome. Makes me want to put it on my board just to look at it :) Yeah, I know it's...
I'm a rhythm guitarist/singer for an alt-punk band, although we do some modern rock and more pop-oriented covers here and there as well. My favorite tones for this band are with my Les Paul with P90s. However, I was looking for something more aggressive to use when the mood strikes.
I ended up...
I've seen lots of threads on pedals, and lots of demos. Most of them don't specifically call out rhythm playing. I'm looking for something with a crisp, mid gain type crunch into a clean amp. So many of the ones I have heard that are great for leads seem to sound a bit mushy for chord work. What...
There are only a couple demos I've seen of the new Mojo Hand Bluebonnet. Seems like the latest version of the Mule. Anyone tried this one yet? Do you like this (or the Mule) for a primary, medium gain dirt tone? Mike Hermans did one of the demos - any thoughts on comparing to the Mule (or even...
Anyone compared these two head to head yet? I have the Lunar Module Mini Deluxe, but I'm considering the new Crosstown. Anyone out there have both yet and willing to share their thoughts on the relative strengths of each?
I recently purchased an Egnater Vengeance head and cab. It has built-in reverb, and it sounds pretty dang good. Yes, as other reviews have said, it can get thick really quick, so keep it dialed back, but the sound is very rich.
Anyone know what type of reverb this is? I don't know if it's...
I had convinced myself I needed a TS-808 or clone pedal, and eventually decided on the Way Huge Green Rhino. I'm a fan of Way Huge stuff, and this thing is at or near the top of most lists I've seen of TS pedals. I thought for sure this would be the one that stayed on my board for ages. Got the...
My amp head has switchable speaker output (can be 16, 8 or 4 ohm), and my cab has multiple input jacks (16 or 4 ohm). So I can set the amp to 16 into the cab's 16 ohm jack, or set the amp to 4 into the cab's 4 ohm jack.
My question is - does it matter which I use? Is one going to be noticably...
I've been thinking about adding a pedal for tubescreamer-type coloring, and in particular was going to get a Green Rhino. But then, the little voice in my head said "wait - you could just get the Paisley Drive you've been thinking about and get tubescreamer plus oh so much more!"
So the...
So here's the thing. I'm starting to explore fuzz a little more. So far, I've gotten a lot of great fuzz options from the Swollen Pickle, which has a really broad range. I've also now got a Skreddy Screw Driver (Screwdriver? ScrewDriver? I can't tell what the correct spelling of this thing...
Hi folks! I'm a long time TGP reader, but this is my first post. I've gained so much from the thoughtful posts many of you have made (and spent so much time... and money...)
I'm looking to add one pedal to my board for low-gain purposes, for just a nice, slight break-up tone, or to stack with...
