the Guitar Pedal Thread
glyphic:
Everyone got me guitar center gift cards for christmas. Cash would have been so much better. Anyway, I'm thinking of picking up a delay pedal. I can't go over $250.
I was thinking about the AKAI E2 Headrush or the TC Electronics ND-1 Nova. Any suggestions?
imapiratearg:
Boss RE-20 Space Echo. It's a pretty faithful recreation of the old Roland Space Echoes, and it's got a tap-tempo.

I was wondering how I could get the Phil Elverum/Microphones brand of Lo-Fi fuzz. What kind of pedals would I need?
Does he do it without pedals and just his amps overdrive?
Thanks.

I think I read something somewhere that Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel would get this kind of distortion by overloading the microphones in the studio, but a good germanium or silicon fuzz might get you in the ballpark. Maybe even a Big Muff Pi.
valley_parade:
Yep.

"I'm pretty sure I've sussed it. That Early NMH/On Avery Island fuzz sound is an electro acoustic (i.e. one with an undersaddle pickup) run into the 4 track's mixer and yeah, you turn the input gain up like fuck and then pull it back with the fader (otherwise you go deaf). I approximated it on my cover of Snow Song Pt.1 (as I didn't have my 4 track at that point) by running the pickup into a very very cheap danelectro mini amp, with a tiny bit of gain on it. I then ran the headphone output of that into my 4 track.
EDIT: Oh yeah, pedals. As far as I can tell he only uses fuzz and I'm told that that's a Russian Big Muff. So there we are."
The Microphones sound is similar.

Sweet, thanks everyone!
