question on onboard effects

Post by endsjustifymeans »

Which of these would be the most useful to have immediate access to so as to make real time changes do you think?

I'm leaning towards the delay, but the trem could be neat...

I'm not using the rhythm circuit in my upcoming jazzmaster project and was going to use one of these in it's place.

I would have the trem in there. Not sure how the delay would work out. . .

Delay at your fingertips would be cool for the whole time-tweaking thing.

Match the delay to your drummer, dial in just the right amount of repeat to cut through the band, or use the "Time" knob to create cool special effects- from wacky Star Trek noises to cool Hip-Hop scratches.
That does sound pretty rad.

I have the trem and it's really fun, but the delay sounds really interesting too

Does it sound cheap digital or it a nice warm effect?

Delay is usually the last effect in a chain?

It works kinda cool before your gain source too, making the repeats less distorted ala East Bay Ray and his Echoplex:

It sounds nice to me, I didn't really notice anything cheap about the sound. Definitely not harsh.
I don't really use pedals too often so I'm probably not much help.

It's the linchpin of my three amp setup - Matamp, Orange Crush (hilariously, rated louder than the Matamp, science fans) and Pignose. And I get in and out of venues just fine.
