The Pedal Board Thread

[Diamondjimi]

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

No shit. Spurs, you feelin ok dude?

Simpleton being the key word here...

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...

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. :D

You guys are funny!

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!!!

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?

Well yeah, after seeing your sig.

[jhale667]

Owned yourself again....

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.

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...
