guitar pedals

Amsterdarn:

The Dano PB&J sounds better than the DD-6.  Lacks all the crazy features, but the basic delay sounds better.  And costs about $100 less.

For serious, don't knock the whole line just because they're made of plastic and a few of them suck.  Most sound not bad at all, and a few are amazing.  Just don't STOMP on them, and you're set.

Boss makes damn solid pedals, yes.  But for the price you generally end up paying, there are often better options (with a few notable exceptions).  And if price isn't a concern, there are always better options.

La Creme:
Sorry, Indie Rock Pete (amen to that, brutha). I just really hate this pedal. And I'm kind of a sucker for a diversity of options on my pedals. That's why I'm returning my OC-3. All the effects sound exactly the same. Is there a cheap little Danelectro octave or harmonizer? That would qualify them as livable.

P.S. Danelectro designed the "guitarilin", so even though I loathe the shitty chorus pedal I am stuck with, they do get props. Props for a guitar with a bajillion frets.

--- Quote from: La Creme ---My bass playing is kinda the worst thing ever, so i figure the synth-crazy effects'll cover that up nicely.

Wrong.  MY bass playing is technically the worst thing ever, so bad that I don't even feel comfortable adding effects for fear of seeming pretentious.

Actually, I just like clean bass, although I am beginning to look into some distortion pedals.

La Creme:
Ok, we'll agree that we both suck then... All I can really do is pretend to slap, do the "Cold Duck Time" bassline, and play rockabilly backup. And all of it is just from my ability to play guitar (also not epic, but livable) so my right hand technique is a testicle-desecrating llama turd.

Tartar Martyr:
I was thinking about getting a French Toast a month or two ago.  Then friends kept telling me about how theirs were breaking (they don't abuse their stuff, some stuff is just shit).  Then I started thinking about why I wanted it, and realized that I could not buy it and sell my Sovtek Big Muff (one of the big green ones from the early 90's), save up $50 more bucks and buy the sweetest fuzz pedal ever made.  The Zvex Fuzz Factory.





Seriously though, the only reason I have ever messed with Dano minis is to make hell noise, never for something that would add to my tone in a positive way.  Most of them that I have tried sound like total ass, and they are too easy to break.  They aren't bad if you want to spend $20 on a pedal... but as with most things, you get what you pay for (this isn't always the case, there are some higher priced pedals that are shit).  You just have to play with stuff and figure out what you like.
