the Guitar Pedal Thread
Catacombs:
Thanks guys. That Fender amp is currently the one i use for shows at school, and i have a small 15 watt Crate amp i use to practice on at home. I won't be doing any recording/traveling with it as i'm just getting back with my electric ( i went on an acoustic kick for the past year and a half ). Those Zvex are seriously sexy, there's a store that sells them according to the website a few towns over from me. Anyone know anything about what they run for? Handmade/hand designed and all that they probably aren't too cheap.
PECOAE:
The ProCo Rat gets amazing distortion/feedback, it's quite loud though, and the feedback can overpower the sound.
Good for a slightly fuzzed out indie/noise rock sound though.

Well, that may be true, but you have to admit that the sounds David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) can pull out of a strat are pretty fucking incredible, and his pedal rack is monsterous:
Thrillho:
This is true - Gilmour, who is a massive influence on me, does have a huge pedal rack. However, his influence on me has always been more about his playing (melodic, like the guitar is singing, like it's more than a guitar solo) than his sound. What I was referring to earlier (drumsticks, etc.) was more influenced by Syd's playing on live versions of something like 'Astronomy Domine.' He wasn't one to use effects because they didn't have pedal racks like that in the sixties!
Patrick:
Tom fucking Morello.
Thread over.
