koula901 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Guys, I wonder if there's enough interest out there to have a new General Category called Pedals, Pedal Boards. I for one, wish we had one, because I have lots of questions, and would love to see your pedal boards, hear about your latest stomp box, maybe hear a clip; and reports on which stomps may be incompatible with a particular amp, or a great combination of a stomp and amp. etc. etc.. While we're at it, I wonder if we also need a Pickup General Category, to share experiences of different pickups, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I love pedals! Some of my best friends are pedals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I would like to see it, I have been getting interested in some boutique pedals lately after not playing with many pedals for years and years. I am always looking for new stuff and forums are a great way to hear about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 (sheepishly) I haven't got one yet, but am in the planning stages. Very soon, will order a Pedaltrain II, and have a guy I'm consulting with on questions. Thinking about a Big Muff and some kind of a Wampler distortion pedal. Recently have found out that my Boss MD-2 seems incompatible with Fender deluxe - terrible loud sound. Also, I'm looking for a wah pedal that has a spring, so it provides some resistance when I step on it - anybody know of such a wah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguitar71 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I've never heard of a Wah like that but I am sure it could be added to the case by you or someone else without much problem. The only problem I could see is the inability to leave the pedal in one position or a "sweet stop" like Zappa was fond of doing. If you have a spring it will always be in the up position like it or not. The Fulltone I have has adjustable resistance with the tightening of a nut so it can have the resistance that you prefer but still have the ability to be place in a spot and left there.

You never heard of that because I'm older than God, and had one in the '70s! Never got to the point of finding a sweet spot, and wanting to keep it there - that's new horizon for me. Thanks for the Fulltone suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genericmusic Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This one ? ... haven't used one though. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dunlop-95Q-Crybaby-Wah-Pedal?sku=151097 I've used an older version of the Crybaby wah for years. I like it. Easy to find that "sweet-spot" for solos. I usually use it in conjunction with a ProCo Rat and my ancient Fender Super Reverb. Easy to achieve natural harmonics when soloing.
