Hey guys, this is my friends' gear. Check it out and please give some comments. I'm really interested to hear..

(Clockwise from left)
BOSS Flanger BF-2
BOSS Chorus CE-2(Made in Japan)
BOSS Chromatic Tuner TU-2
Proco RAT 2 Distortion Pedal
Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-9 Overdrive Pedal
BOSS Phaser PH-1r (Made in Japan)
Electroc Harmonix The Worm Modulator Pedal
Digitech Digidelay X-Series Delay Pedal


I have to bring that up... you have a friend which has some many pedals, since he is your friend, why don't you go to his place and try out his pedals (especially TS9 and Proco Rat) and start from there ? that should give you a good overview of all kinds of sound.
Then you can always get a day-tour in the main music shops of KL and try out the pedals in there...

Sum41 rig is this one:

If you're amp has distortion that you like, but not hard enough, I suggest you get the SD-1 for an overdrive.... remember..... SD-1 is NOT to be used on it's own..... you need to put it infront of your exsisting distortion for some major ball breaker....

If you want something with a bit more crunch or your amp is crap and can be used on it's own.... get the DS-1 instead...

All these are BOSS pedals and should be about 180 a pedal.

Honestly.... punk players are mostly direct from Amp to Guitar and that's it.... only a handful really uses a overdrive pedal in the front....

But like I said..... if you're a Noob.... forget about getting single pedals and get a multi-FX unit first.....

yeah.. Thanks. Looks like im headed to buy a multi-fx pedal. Maybe one of the Zooms. Get a general concept of the different kinds of sounds first. Then maybe much later i'll get single pedals. But i've tried the DS-1 and kinda liked it, so... tongue.gif

Pix: yup. I played with him only once, for a Youth Rally Concert, and that time he was using mostly BOSS single pedals and the PROCO rat2, and Digital Delay. I tried only ONE of his pedals, namely the BOSS Distortion (the orange one). Haven't met up with him recently.. so hard to do that. But i think i'm gona take your advice and go on a lil' trip down to the stores to try out some multi-fx pedals in KL. hopefully can get something to help me kick-start.

useless ? no, the pod xt live will never be useless wink.gif actually it's pretty useful for recording, and gigging as well, and don't forget that if it's just for practise, it's pretty cool too laugh.gif

now, i agree, the "live" thing (layout as a pedal board) is especially designed for live use. So the pod xt itself is always useful, but the "live" part of it is only beneficial if you need easy access to all effects/models at once.. it looks better than the "bean" though wink.gif

multi fx = multi effect...
fx is an abbreviation for effect, my friend.

like i said, a multi fx would be a good choice if u dont know which sound u really want wink.gif
later when u buy those stomp boxes u want, u can still use the effects that u dont have in the multifx. plus most multifx's have drum machines

wonderful ! hydrogen, go for it... really good price, and it's way higher range than zoom 505 or zoom 707. Check it's working fine though.

hydrogen... if you're ready to put 500rm in the Zoom, consider putting at least 500rm for this Korg, if you have too. and a bit more to win the bid wink.gif i'm serious, it's a good buy.
