The Pedal Board Thread

[Diamondjimi]

You can't get girls to talk to you, tell the truth. Surprised someone hasn't bottled your personality and sold it as chick-repellent.

[GAR]

Don't hate because people are capable of using effects better than you can...

You are definately capable of using MORE effects than anyone I've ever known, combined.

[Diamondjimi]

Ya see, simpletons such as yourself and your new reacharound pal Boneflag are obviously under the assumption that because one posesses numerous effects that they (all of them) are meant to be on at the same time.
Most players I know (including myself) use the effects sparsely, dropping them in and out only when needed for colour at particular times...

PALLET Function: noun; Etymology: Middle English paillet, from Anglo-French paillete bundle of straw

"Jay thought he needed a billion pedals to achieve his global potential,



now he needs a forklift to move his stuff by the pallet."

Yeah, yeah, spellcheck failed once...cry me a river...you still can't argue the point, because you don't really have one.

Wiki is your fucking homepage, huh?

You guys, along with Diamondjimi crack me up, man! Every site would be boring and stupid if there wasn't any of this to read. It's sickening to see people argue over which party is more screwed up all time, which is obvious now, they BOTH are. But it's funny as hell to read Gar's post and then see what kind of reaction he gets from J, DJ, Twona, Igo, Kwame, FORD, LM and others. You guys call him a troll, be I think trolls ALWAYS make things interesting. Take away his borderline racist remarks, he's one of the funniest posters around, and I think deep down you guys would agree too, because you guys ALWAYS reply to his posts.


Carry one guys, I need to laugh a little more because I had a hard day.

[GAR]

Oh come on, nobody needs to gig with 20 fuckin' pedals dude..

[GO-SPURS-GO]

Luckily, bass players don’t need all that crap to sound good. :tongue0011: So instead of having a ton of pedals to mask your lazy playing, we bass players are team players so I made this pedal board to make the BAND look good.

Oh come on, nobody needs to gig with 20 fuckin' pedals dude..

I agree!! I use 3, the "L" is for the 1,000 watt white lights to light up the audiance, the "S" is for the 2 750 watt strobes, and the black box is the remote for my fog machine.

I agree 100%.

Well it's always nice to pretend...

Cool setup there.
I guess with 2 less strings and only one cable to worry about you can manage to put the light tech wages in yer pocket.

My SKB-15 is not ATA but it will fit in my overhead this weekend to San Antonio just nicely.

San Antonio? What are you coming down for, G? Let me know, maybe we can meet and hang out, or something..

[jhale667]

Like you've ever even heard me to have an opinion, you know-nothing douchebag.


GSG now enters negative cred points for wanting to hang out with GAyR....

Excellent, dead on. And you're also kind of stating the difference between a guitarist and someone who merely plays guitar...

In the hands of a true guitarist, effects are an embellishment. Sometimes the settings are so subtle the listener might not even notice them at first. A slight chorus to fatten up a specific section of a song. A volume pedal to enhance your (and your band's) dynamics. GAyR and Buttplug will read this go "Huh?" because it's an alien concept to them.

B-fag's hero is SRV, but by his own logic SRV is a poser because he had 4 or 5 pedals onstage, and more in the studio.
Hate to break it to ya, dude - but sometimes SRV used two Tube Screamers and a Fuzzface...at the same time...

By GAyR's logic even Rhoads is a poser because his custom-made board was constructed prior to his becoming a "touring" guitarist.

Utter stupidity on their parts.



Inferior players (you know who) hide behind effects, using them to (or more like they hope to) mask their flaws. Usually with all the knobs on '10', because, y'know, that's ROCK. They're used as a crutch. And notice they wrongly assume everyone else uses them the same way they do.

The preceding statement has nothing to do with the number of pedals on your board, for the record...and if you know what you're doing, it's possible to run several well-placed effects without killing your tone...there's only 3 pedals in front of my amp, and one is a tuner, ffs.

But I will agree that those 3-tiered boards are overkill, though... even if you're the Edge.

Come on guys! The both of you are very smart, so you know that GAR, for the most part, only say all these things to mess with you guys. I don't post as much as I used to, but I read all the time, and I can't tell you how many times I've laughed my ass off at all of you.

Excellent embellishment J, every word the truth there bro.

Up here (back in the day) I could always tell a French (Quebecer) guitarist when I heard one. Medocre chops, crazy hair and a Boss CE-3 on all fucking night!!!

[GAR]

The sound only Jay the Internet Guitarist, could find musical: all 20 pedals being ran concurrently.. ah, this is true musicianship. Like Bowie during his Berlin period, or something.

Sure, there's humour in what going on. But surely you can tell there's something seriously wrong with GARbage?

[GO-SPURS-GO]

Well yeah, after seeing your sig.

[jhale667]

Repeating the same lie over and over again still won't make it true, assbag.

all 20 pedals being ran concurrently

Not much on reading comprehension, are ya?

[Diamondjimi]

GARfag's self ownage is becoming legendary...

His self-ownage knows no limits.......No boundries........there is not a galaxy that is not aware of his FAIL!!!


Keep up the good work GARbage!

[Nitro Express]

The two kind of players I like are: A) The ones who use effects sparingly and B) The ones who use a ton of effects. A good blues player would be A and David Gilmour would be B. It's art so there are no rules as long as you pull it off and it sounds good.

[GAR]

The secret about utilizing a huge pedalboard is that it's the inverse reaction to being gifted with a teenie weenie.

[Dan]

San Antonio? What are you coming down for, G? Let me know, maybe we can meet and hang out, or something..

Dude,He Would Want Your Ass.

Looks like someone has pedalboard envy...

[GAR]

Pedal envy itself I do not have: a pedal board for travel and show should be efficient. But a home board is something where you want everything laid out and I admire that.

Just don't tell me you're gonna go gigging with a surfboard-sized collection because I will laugh at you.

[Diamondjimi]

WE gig, YOU don't...

[GAR]

Really? How often, rockstar?

[Diamondjimi]

Really? How often, rockstar?

More than you...

[GAR]

I don't play.

[Diamondjimi]

No surprise there...

[GAR]

If your gear made it out of the basement to a real gig, it would probably be as a rented backline of dummy cabs.

In fact, paint some black polka dots on them and I bet you get a call from Zakk Wylde.. he's a bigger Roeds fan and blows way more money on this junk than you!

I gig, I record,engineer and produce. You do NOTHING! ...

Well I guess failing is something... Ok GARf, you do ,do something...

he's a bigger Roeds fan and blows way more money on this junk than you!

GAR, what's Roeds?

[GAR]

.. wow you're Mr Showbiz. How unpredictable!

[Diamondjimi]

GAR, what's Roeds?

/own3rd.. owned by the most obvious misspelling ploy, again and again and agian.

GAR, what's Roeds?

[GAR]

I would have to say you're THE most predictable tool on the board, besides Nick.

[Diamondjimi]

GAR , what's Roeds???

[GAR]

What's with that wife, pedalboard, drywall, cabinet and guitar all done with the same drywall screws?

[Diamondjimi]

What's Roeds?
