the Guitar Pedal Thread
FireAarro:
A cool lo-fi digital delay is the old discontinued Boss PS-2. I have one, it's cheap, sounds warm and dirty, not in an analog way but in a crunchy digital way. There's a soft high pitched hum when the delay time knob is in certain positions though. I think this pedal was used by a few famous doods, maybe Slowdive. It also has a shitty out of tune pitch shifter built in.
greenMonkey:
This is somewhat of a thread resurrection, but I needed to post this:
This is a bass DI box/pre-amp/pedal based on the pre-amp stage of a vintage Traynor TS-50B solid state bass amp. It was designed by some guys on Electrical Audio. Bob Weston, bassist for Shellac, uses a TS-50B head and you can hear it on the first couple Shellac albums. I think the bassist from The Jesus Lizard also used a TS-50B. Anyway, it sounds like it's great for crunchy, Shellac-y distorted bass, but also works for clean bass. I think this is cool because I'm probably going to buy a TS-50 guitar amp soon, which has the same pre-amp stage in it.

The thread on EA
FireAarro:
Ah, some guy posted about those on the Offset Forum a few months ago. Look pretty cool, if the soundclips are as good as the people say they are I might pick one up.

I've got one of these:

Ahh, my Ibanez DS10 Distortion Charger!
And it rocks, honestly it makes my guitar sound like pure joy coated in awesomeness with a hint of kickarse. Only problem is that its so old, the batter connector is covered with battery acid and actually just came off entirely! I need to go down to radio shack and get it fixed, it is just too awesome a pedal to let rust.
and...
The Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
My dad got me this for Christmas, and it is a weird pedal to use. If you tweak it enough you'll come across a really good setting, but if you change it you'll probably loose it forever. it's a good one though and I like to mes around with it.
whitewash:
in response to the delay petal disscussion!
i highly recommend the line-6 echo park!!!!!!!!
i have both the DL-4 and this. the DL4 has alot more options and has looping capabilities, but i use the echo-park more consistently. when you put it on the "tape" setting, it sounds just fantastic, its a perfect vintage tape-loop modeller. PERFECT!
and you can switch it to digital AND analog settings. along with several delay times and settings, AND built in tap tempo that is easy to use! my favorite pedal in the price range.
another fantastic option that is always overlooked: Boss DD-5. i would reccomend this over the DD-3 AND DD-6. just buy a tempo tap seperately and it's soooooo much easier to use than the tap tempo features of the DD-6. its perfect to get that u2, tripplet sound.
