QUOTE(Reload @ Mar 11 2006, 01:45 AM) It sounds as though you're buying a pedal because you need it to qualify for something! What I'm trying to say is that you don't buy a pedal just to have a pedal, you buy a pedal to help your tone. The best first pedal for you is one that does what you want it to. If you want a distortion pedal, go get one. Booster? Can also. Noise Gate? Yep. Chorus? Wah? Reverb? Flanger? They all do different things - you need to decide which one you want before you buy your first one. wow.. thanks. Well, i'd say that i'm going for distortion for now. So wat model/brand do u guys recommend as a first one? |

QUOTE(Pix @ Mar 11 2006, 12:25 PM) multifx ??? it's like you're saying you're a great car pilot and all, you're the best in rally, in go-kart, etc... but you're actually driving a truck in everyday's life. That's insulting...how lame is that. and yes, thewhacker is right, as usual  , this topic has been brought up so many times : hi, i'm a newbie, i don't know ANYTHING about guitar, but i want the best pedal in the world, so i can finally have MY sound, to reflect MY soul.I only wanted to ask for opinions, because i really want to buy a pedal to try out some new sounds. I've been using my guitar and the amp's regular distortion for a long while already, so wanna improve. Since people don't know much, at least i asked so i can learn. Weren't you a newbie once, and how would you feel if people flamed your question? Simple question, give a simple answer.  |

QUOTE(TheWhacker @ Mar 11 2006, 07:06 PM) Newbie or not ... even if you go to a shop and telling them "I want pedal, very cun pedal" ... you think you're going to get an answer ? okok... i get your point. You said you have a budget of Rm500 .... that's a good amount to start with. Now the question at hand. What kind of music are you playing ? Bluez ? Jazz ? Hip-Hop ? Rock ? Metal ? Ska ? Punk ? classical ? Soul ? Rap ? or you dunno ?  thanks. Ermm.. mostly metal and rock, and some punk, i guess. definitely not jazz/classical/soul/rap. And umm.. sorrie for not being specific. I don wan a 'cun' pedal, just something for me to start out with more sounds within metal/rock/punk genre. thanks- |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Mar 11 2006, 10:15 PM) To Me, I think a first pedal should ALWAYS be a multi-FX pedal.... that way, they can experiment with different sounds before they can finally affoard to buy a single effect setup. I bought a Zoom 505 (Which I still think is a great first Mutli-FX pedal) as my first pedal, and haven't regret it since. Maybe, if I had a bit more budget last time, I would get one with an expression pedal, which I would recommend now.... My a ToneWorks or the new Zoom with the expression pedal.... Then, once you get to know your setup better..... start investing in single pedals and build your own sound..  Sweet. Wats the price for the Zoom 505 now? and how about one with an expression pedal, what would it cost around? Is it still good, or already obsolete? |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Mar 12 2006, 05:35 PM) 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.... 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... 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..... 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. |

QUOTE(plankton @ Mar 13 2006, 11:49 AM) like i said, a multi fx would be a good choice if u dont know which sound u really want Multi-fx with drum machines? wow Which ones? Can you give me some models, so i can research a bit? These sound like some pretty good ones to help me start off. oh ya, and if possible give me some prices too. thanks- 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 |

QUOTE(Pix @ Mar 14 2006, 12:49 AM) 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 hmmm.... ok. I think i trust your judgement. i'm serious, it's a good buy. I'll tell my friend to hold it for me. Good thing i know him better than the other seller. And i just heard the KORG's wahwah, and it sounds quite decent! But that was through a 30watt amp. I'm wondering what the sound will be like through my pathetic little Marshall 10w.....  |

actually i know that nothing sounds good on a 10w amp lar, but the amp is just my practice only..
usually i play on a 30 watt one. But means that practice time wont be much fun, unless i use good earphones or something..? |
