the Guitar Pedal Thread
Ballard:
If you are really going to shit yourself about a non-true-bypass tuner get a Planet Waves Chromatic Tuner. Pretty much the same thing as the BOSS only true-bypass and chromed out.

I think my ears are getting better. Instead of hearing a big dark blur, I'm hearing a big light blur.
But seriously, I've just discovered how horribly just the bypass on my Digitech rp90 multieffects pedal mangles my tone. I'd begun to notice the cruminess of non-bypass-ness, but this just takes el cako.
I know this is all a matter of opinion, and I'm probably not going to do it (the pedal is still good for experimentation and performance in front of non-audiophiles), but if I were to sell the pedal, what single pedal (c. $100) would it be wisest to replace it with?
Eh, I'll answer that myself, so as not to commandeer the thread. Probably one single relatively versatile distortion. Except I've got a really good amp with really good distortion, it just needs a fuse and the cap that covers the fuse socket.
Maybe a Wah.
In reality, if I was going to sell it, I'd put the money toward a Megatar. That's what I'm trying to save up for for now. Then an EHX h.o.g., then an EHX voice box. Then a G&L s-500 guitar. Then a really good looper, like the ehx 2880.
I guess I need to check out other companies, see how their pedals compare to the particular EHX pedals I just listed.
Then maybe a smoke machine, though I'd only use it in my bedroom. How do people with smoke machines see their pedals?
Oh, no wait. After saving up for the G&L s-500, I'd maybe save up for one of those electronic drum kits, then I could record stuff by myself and give it away at lossless quality because I only do it for the music.
I'm going to stop rambling now.
Ballard:
Megatar? Oh god why?
EHX H.O.G. - pretty cool but the least versatile pedal you will ever own
Electronic drum kit - always a bad choice

This, and, eventually, something like this (maybe), but with both melody and bass. And not maybe fake. This is the whole thing, but imagine if the audience could actually see your fingers!
And I'd re-get the h.o.g. (had it for 2 weeks, I think I've mentioned, then returned it for the money because of car troubles) even if only to use it for its killer polyphonic octaverness.
Spluff:
I'd like to play a megatar, but I wouldn't want anybody to see it. Thing is ugly.
