Boutique pedals make me smile. They're usually around 200 dollars and their companies still want you to buy some other pedals or amps that they were designed to 'compliment'. Then I'm reminded that Jimmy Page uses a Boss DS-1 and I rest easy.

What's so great about the pedal above?
I'm considering the Hot Cake, does anyone have any experience with it?

I have recently learned that crappy quality reverb, delay and mod effects I am getting from my X3Live is due to DOINGITRONG. Since I rock the Orange TT and there's no effects loop 'pparently I would be best served preamping the signal a bit. Sometimes it works with the particular models I use but it is somewhat akin to alchemy.

I'm on the market for a new overdrive pedal. Should I get a BBE Green Screamer or a Bad Monkey?

Does anyone have any experience with the ZVex Wah Probe? (or their Probe line in general) It seems like it could be either really awesome and useful, or specific and gimmicky. The closest physical distributor is probably Eugene or Portland from where I am (Boise) so I would have to order it online. For >$350 I want to do as much research on it as possible or just settle on the Fulltone Clyde.

As far as overdrive goes, I love my Electro-Harmonix Double Muff. |

By the way, I did buy that ProCo RAT. With my modded Jaguar and Orange head it sounds awesome. I have yet to try it with my drone/doom guitar.

any of you cats happen to rock a mxr micro amp on your boards? i'd like to add 2 of them to my board, to use as volume boosts in both positions.. 1 at the beginning of the chain, and 1 at the end of my chain. it's a hard pedal to try out in a store, because really i'm more concerned with how its going to react going through my line of delays, reverbs, etc. anyway, whos got one? do you run it direct to the amps input or the fx loop? for a $70 pedal, this post is stupid and i should just buy go buy one, but whatever. haha.

I picked this up the other day:  Frantone Glacier Not sure what you guys think of ring modulators, but I am pretty much in love. It has an alternate input so you can hook up a mic and modulate the frequency with your voice or another guitar or a synth or whatever. Plus, if you dial it in high, you get a great vintage trem. Perfect when paired with my Space Echo. |

Hey guys, instead of getting a bunch of pedals for my amp, I was thinking of upgrading amps altogether and buying a Vox Valvetronix VT15 or VT30 with the 5 button footswitch. Do you think this is acceptable? It's got tons of effects and dedicated reverb.. just no wah  . |

I'm thinking about buying a looping pedal for my kid for Christmas. Budget ~$300. I could be talked into spending more if there is a compelling reason, though I'd prefer not to if I don't have to.
Anyone got a recommendation or a horror story?

So I bought a loop pedal and I'm entirely unsure where it belongs in my effects chain. Are there important things that I have to keep in mind when using it? Distortion and the like?

Put it last or near last. I run my two delays after my looper. |

Yeah I was thinking the same, thanks. I would have just tried it, but all my gear is in the practice room so I only have an amp to try it out with. First impression: this thing opens up a whole new world of awesomeness! Now I can finally play my songs the way they're meant to be played.

I think Jon (Cernunnos) just got one of those, too.
Right now I'm kinda lusting after the new Malekko Chicklet reverb. About the same price as a Holy Grail.

The one i got was a bit simpler than that(not the deluxe), but very awesome. It sounds good as a straight up delay and also makes some very strange noises. |
