guitar pedals

(1/6) > >>

Damniel:
apparently if you drop a gibson it will probably break on the third drop...but it takes a fender ten or more drops before it smashes...apparently this is due to the neck shape...i.e gibson headstock hits the ground first whereas a fender body takes the brunt of the fall...however...my question is this...

rock, paper, or sissors?

nah not really just wondering about guitar pedals and preamps...i've been playing guitar for a while (and can do bar chords...WOOOP WOOOP) anyway just was wondering about the different pedal effects???... as i'm confused by them... but also whether a preamp would be better than a pedal????

feel free to answer the rock, paper or sissors question too...

ASturge:
Well, i have a rather sexy ZOOM707 mk2.

Its very nice indeed and has never exploded onstage. So I say, go pedal!

Signum_Tenebrae:
Scissors!

So_Effing_l33t:
Well, if you just wanna know the basics...here it is:

Distortion Pedal: This kinda pedal creates a heavy sound, kinda' like metal or grunge. Just gives you that crazy deep crashy sound...its hard to explain.

'Wah-Wah' Pedal: Makes those funky noises that sound like 'Wah' or 'Wohh'. Thats even harder to explain, and a bit more difficult to use.

Tube Overdrive: Makes the sound output equal to that of an oldschool tube amp.

Chorus: Adds a little extra backround effect to the sound.

Delay: Can change the time period for the sound radiation.

Equalizer: Just controls the power and such of the effected sounds, doesnt make a sound itself.

Thats pretty much all I can think of right now because those are all the types I own/use. Theres a ton more, though. EXPERIMENT!

bucky_2300:
Preamps are for pussies. REAL men use effect pedals. And not those girly-man Danelectro pedals either. Boss pedals. Those things are built like tanks. Except for wah, where real men use Jim Dunlop Crybaby wahs. No multi-effects units either. Real men use them, but my personal preference is to get really high-quality effects in single-pedal form, instead of medium-high sounds from an all-inclusive board. That, and I hate digital effects. Analog all the way.
