Say you were in a 90's cover band, what would be on your board?

Talking about grunge and not gangsta rap.

You can use modern pedals, or vintage pedals.

A gun, so I could put myself out of misery.

Stop liking what I don't like!

I would feel the same way if I every had to play in another boring classic rock or blues band! Yawn.

 

[jcmark611]

Wow. This place is getting a little hateful lately.

 

[jammwill]

Definitely a ds 1 or something similar for nirvana tunes...

 

[pir8matt]

Fulldrive II baby!

Well... Regardless of Joe's little quip, I AM in a mostly 90s cover band.

Here's my board today:

Here was my board two months ago (with a DD7 in the open spot in the upper left):

Either works or worked just fine, but I decided to try to simplify and go with less (as in less is more). I don't really miss the chorus that much, but I do miss having two delays.

This board was from 2012 and it really was one of the best boards I put together for 90s music:

 

[EricPeterson]

Rat
Phase 90
Crybaby
Retro sonic chorus
Ts-9
Whammy
DD-3

Good calls, that ought to cover a lot of 90s sounds.

 

[OilsFan]

TS-9
RAT
Electric Mistress
DD-5

 

[DewieCox]

I think a board suited for classic rock works pretty well for a lot of 90s rock. Probably need an extra level of gain, but not too much other than that.

 

[Chris McKinley]

An out-of-tuner pedal and a vocal effect that made me sound like a cross between Sean Connery and Cher.

 

[Class5]

It is still the 90's, isn't it?

 

[tremolo3]

Boss pedals.

 

[Michael_V]

Cyanide capsules.

 

[Nota]

Exactly the same effects that're on my board now. CC, FRV-1.

I was in an 80's and 90's cover band for 2+ years, did most of the keyboard parts (I was only instrument besides drums/bass). I could have done it all with guitar straight to amp, but the delay really helps with songs like "Pride" or ambient keyboard swells.

You don't need much. I found that having less meant my audience got more.

Though, then you run the risk of everyone thinking you were an authentic Nirvana tribute band.

I'm thinking barf bag
