      With that 💯✖️‼️ I first discovered looping with my line 6 spyder jam and for practice it’s amazing, loop a riff over a beat or the gnome and then lead over it, by far the best tool I’ve ever used for practicing everything from harmony to timing to scales to rhythm to you name it, you can’t replace jamming with someone else, but when alone the looping gave me leaps of knowledge and skill just epic, also so much fun to stack riffs and leads. Agreed! 👍

    My biggest mistake was running straight to boutique, expensive pedals that had "perfect" sounds. Most of them ended up getting sold. I've found that it's much better to try the cheapest ones first, see if you like that particular family of sound(s), and then upgrade if there are specific features, build quality, or aesthetics that you want.

    @orryfishburne5326 Рік тому +1

    Volume is more likely used to go after your dirt or even in the loop of your amp. Its placed there because u have a volume pot on your guitar making it less effective to have 2 volume controls directly after one another and it allows u to do volume swells into your gain tones making it rise into saturation with your volume pot and/or keep your gain tone intact while doing volume swells with the volume pedal. Obviously there is no right or wrong within effect chains and it comes down to what u find inspiring and functional, but definitely something that is worth messing around with and gives u more options.

Even my guitar I use most, is my 94 fender 40th anniversary strat, got it in spring of 95, and only love it more every time I plug in.

    One of my biggest mistakes happend decades ago as a member in a band. In the practice room, I just couldn't get that fat sound I was looking for. Changed about everything. Amp, cabinet, distortion, whatever.
    Only...One night, I was alone in the room, jamming along to some music, having fun. In the process I moved the cabinet...and boom. There it was. The sound, the pressure.
    So it turned out that I just happend to get the worst possible place to put my cabinet in the room.

  • @arnolddealiii4259
    @arnolddealiii4259 Рік тому +4

    I think my worst mistake is buying overdrive pedals, I've had 100's of them probably. But in reality there is only about 7 original designs that builders follow and "tweak". This opens a world of possibilities and I'm not knocking the boutique pedal industry at all, but for me personally most of these pedals sound ballpark similar to other pedals. At one point I had 10 different overdrives and distortions because I felt like I was getting different layers of texture to my sound. I could stack pedals to do things that on their own just wasn't possible. But playing live is a nightmare, trying to get your levels evened out so you don't have one pedal louder than another. Then you got vintage style circuits that have a low volume output compared to a newer pedal that has more head room and just plain more volume. It doesn't end there modulation, delay, and reverb you can go just as nuts. At a certain point though I found I was tweaking pedal and adjusting things more than I was actually playing. Also in actuality I go for a very specific sound and I don't stray too much away from it. With all those pedals I was trying to dial in about the same sound! I finally came to the conclusion that a nice crunch sound with a little boost was all I needed and I sold all my pedals. I also about the same time realized the venues I play at don't care if I have my ideal tone. People want to come to the club hang out and talk to their friends and in my case I'm the background music to their evening. I've moved from tube amps and got a Boss Katana 100. With Tube amps I always went for the sweet spot, and it was drowning our vocals. We now keep the volume down on stage and the PA has the headroom to make us sound great! I never was happy with my tube amps if I didn't have the tubes cooking a little bit. with the Katana I don't use half of the features on it. But I've got a great clean sound with a boost option and effects, and nice marshall crunch sound with boost and effects, and metal sound that I use for leads sometimes, and an acoustic amp sound. Everything I was doing with pedals and tube amps but wrapped up in a combo amp that sounds damn good. Its louder than my Vox AC30 and comes in at 29 pounds. I kept my wah wah and added a boss footswitich to my pedal board but that's it. Every thing I need is in the amp. I can go silent, or I can go loud as all get out. I've adopted a minimalist lifestyle when it comes to gear and I get it . Part of whats cool about pedals is the hunt for something new. But I've been there and done that. I want simple and not a lot of things to lug to a gig and setup. My Katana 100 is the same every night and hasn't let me down once. I can't say the same about pedals or tube amps. At the end of the day you do you, and don't worry what tone snobs think... If it sounds good it is good period!

    I’ve always done boost-> dirt, because then you can stack them for extra dirt. Another trick, run an analog delay with a tap output into a digital delay with a tap output, and put a cable between both tap outputs, it will link the tap tempos up, then you can set the digital delay divide knob to really get crazy.

      Same, I just feel like boosting into any kinda distortion/overdrive works better as an actual boost, i.e. doesn't change the character of the sound too much just pushes it a bit harder. Putting the boost pedal afterwards affects the tone of the pedal you're trying to boost too much

    If you can find a copy, whether to own, or to borrow from your library, try and find Craig Anderton's 1984 classic "Guitar Gadgets". Apart from detailing the function of every knob to be found on commercial pedals up to that year, it does a nice job of orienting the user towards a "systems" approach to their pedalboard, and understanding why altering the order of things has the effect it does.

I was a HUGE Nirvana fan growing up and only dreamed of being able to play the Cow Palace and hate it the same way Kurdt did. Well, he played mostly with Fender Electrics and Gibson acoustic. I realized that I play Gibson electric and Fender Acoustic guitars. The exact opposite. What does that even mean? Well, that over the past three decades, I’ve managed to let my soul sound find me. And for what it’s worth…I’ve well outgrown Nirvana in the last two decades and don’t think I’ve got any sort of desire to be like him anymore. I’ve grown up, which the music industry never gave him the chance of. Thank the Gods for UA-cam, where we can be our best rock stars! Keep rocking, my fellow Berklee musician. I am a supporter of GSS, keep up the good work. 😊

    WOOOH THE BOSS SD-1!!!! Great pedal, amazing price, my favourite pedal that I own (I own 3, a looper, fuzz and the sd-1). Incredible sound and very versatile! One day I will have money, get a job etc but for now, that keeps me busy. Sometimes its good having less, making the most from what you have. Chorus/delay/tremelo pedal is next on the list!

    My biggest mistake was getting rid of my whole pedalboard and amp setup for the line 6 hx stomp. Was more of a frustration than anything. Being a tweaker I thought it would be appealing. Slowly went back to building up a pedalboard again.
    Another thing would be buying and trading pedals when I should have just stuck with what worked for me and my style.
    Lastly would be overlooking effects like octave and modulation like chorus as inspiration. Even if they’re used sparingly and or momentarily.
    Causing me to play differently and come up with something new.

    If you have two or more distortion pedals ( or 2 or more ODs or 2 or more Fuzz pedals) put one before and one after to try them out, you may do what I have done- before and after envelope filter
    I can do either or both

    I have a guitar. I do not have any pedals, and I dont even have an amp. I just plug my guitar into a 6.5mm audio input in the microphone I use for my pc with the input monitor switch flipped on. Ive tried digital amps but deleted them all because I do not understand anything, and it leads to delay between playing and hearing.
    And I love it all more than just about anything right now

    I just practice on acoustic most of the time. It keeps my hands strong, can be played at reasonable volumes, and keeps me honest. Then when I play my strat with light gauge strings and lots of toys, it's inspiring and extra fun.

    Biggest tip, if you want to try out stuff: Buy used, sell used. I've run through a dozen overdrives just to realize that the Boss BD-2 i had was doing the job fine and bought one again. The grass isn't always greener but at least i didn't sink like 500 bucks in new fancy overdrives, instead i bought used and sold them at the same value. (sometimes i even made a profit)

    I got my first pedals in the 1970's and some were battery operated. I wish I could recreate some of the sounds I got as different batteries became weak. I never realized there is a wrong or right way to sequence pedals. Just cared about the sounds I got. Had fun looping pedals back through themselves after going through another pedal or two.

    Big mistake 4 me was buying the cathedral reverb petal (amazing petal now I know)… and not knowing about the FX loop and having my modulation petals in front of the amp, sure it sounded cool In certain bits but it was mostly “wrong” and harsh sounding, later learned the fx loop and wish I didn’t sell it, I’ve never been huge on petals, Peavey JSX plugged straight in. But I’ve learned to love a few simple but powerful petals, Holy Grail reverb, carbon copy delux delay, wah, and just recently micro chorus. Small but very very effective. Rock on guitar lovers! Don’t forget about the FX loop 😅

  • @RobJMeronek
    @RobJMeronek Рік тому

    I found out from a representative at Sweetwater music that a tuner pedal does have a specific place in the signal chain, “The signal coming from an FX loop is quite a bit hotter than the signal coming from a guitar, which is what most tuners are designed to analyze. For this reason, the TC pedal might not work well in an effects loop. My experience has been that tuners will always work the best and give the most accurate results if they are as close to the guitar in the signal chain as possible. Typically one of, if not the first, pedals on a pedalboard.”

    I have one pedal. A Boss Compression pedal I use for my bass to get better recording tone but also use it for my guitars some times. I'm not a rocker, per se, so I don't feel the need for distortion. I like some rock but am not a die hard fan of rock distortion.

  • @TheSpydersBand
    @TheSpydersBand Рік тому

    I've noticed the difference the guitar and amp makes in a pedal's effect. I use a GearBox dual OD. It sounds fantastic with my single coil bridge pickup on my 2006 Suhr Classic T into a Fender Tone Master. When I play my humbucking 1997 PRS Cu22, it sounds awful. Rather than screaming sustain on Channel 2, I get this muddy bottomy sound. I have to completely reconfigure the settings to get a good sound out of the PRS with that pedal. It's easier to just put a MojoMojo pedal on the board and use that with the PRS.

  • @robertallen3031

    My mistake was fender vs marshall amps. Gibson vs fender guitars. Finding the reality of quick breakup vs power clean. Once that journey ended I found I love single coils into very loud old fender amps. I then add my pedals to that mix. I can play anything from the highest gain to the sweetest cleans. You can always add but it's hard to take away. Try a Pharoah supreme with a 180 watt fender super twin and a vintage strat. You will destroy any high gain amps.
