yavuz Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Okko Diablo -> OC-3 Octave -> Rogue Tremolo -> Maxon AD9 -> MXR CC I use OKKO for very little drive. It has a lot of controls and stays very close to the orig. guit. tone Octave pedal is used when the bassl player drops out and I play with the drummer. Sounds nice then. Tremolo is used combined with my long setup CC to get the Volume Swells interesting. Maxon AD9 is for slap back echo. MXR CC is for either Volume swells ( combined with tremolo ) or when I want to use long echos on some ballads. It is setup long.
Genericmusic Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I like to use an octave effect when I'm playing the melody line. Cool effect but can be and often is, over used. Interest concept of using the tremelo with volume swells. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the idea.
smurph1 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I go back and forth on the whole pedalboard thing..Last practice I went straight into the amp with reverb and a bit of tube overdrive, and that was it..(Using my Strat) Everyone loves the sound of single coils through that "Cavern Club" So now I'm thinking "Why haul around a pedal board, when I can get great tones with a Strat and a Tube Screamer?" I'm sure I'll change my mind next week though..LOL
yavuz Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 I am also a minimalist when it comes to effects. None of these pedals are part of my sound. That is why I try to buy True ByPass pedals when I can. Most of the time I use my guitar with No FX like in this video
Genericmusic Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 What effects I have are built into my amp. I use latch switches to control them. My guitar chord goes directly into the amp.
Trouble Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Cool board. I use pedals constantly, it's great to be able to step on one button and have the sound for a song, step on another and ready for the next song. I can play without it, but it's easier with it.

bolero Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 funny I don't really use effects with humbucker guitars.....but I love them with strats
iim7v7im7 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I have gone from using many pedals and I am down to a very simple and small pedalboard today... Guitar > Turbo Tuner ST-200 (Tuner) > King of Tone (OD/Boost) > Zendrive (OD) > Replica (Delay) > Amp Aside from a tuner, when I play clean; I use a delay pedal on some songs. Because my amplifiers are both single channel amps (AB763 and 5E3), I usually set the volume to just below the point where they will begin to give it up when I dig in. The two overdrive pedals have different timbres and levels of drive to hit the amp so they really serve as my overdrive channel. :-) Bob
Bonefish Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I second the tremolo with swells (or ebow), a great way to add some texture.
