Hey, I need some advice on which pedal to buy:

Choice:

1. Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus

or

Big Muff

I know these are kinda different pedals, but I just can't make a decision. I only have 1 pedal, which is the Boss DS-2...

Anyway, let me know if you have either and what you think,


cheers!

Well, you already have a distortion...so the chorus would be new to you. Small Clones rule.

I got my Big Muff today! I super-glued the plastic nuts back together and put them on, they're a bit loose but it sounds great!

Forget the Small Clone. Get Poly Chorus. Small Clone is the watered down version of the poly chorus
 

No comparison

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2BvKB-eOR9M The song at the end should show you what I'm talking about, listen to the mic.


See: What Win is singin' into. LOUDSPEAKER.

Oh, but that mic just sound liks it's huge reverb. Like he's in a giant chamber. JUST GET SOME REVERB, BRO!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.15.2007 09:41 PM

Danelectro delay, I use it for reverb though.
I like lots and lots of reverb.
A hint of distortion.
Every once in a while I'll use the danelectro octave distortion.

New pic of the small pedal army
(Big Muff is the most recent addition)

I was thinking about getting a wah pedal, since I hate having to step hard on my ME-50. I'm affraid that I will break it.

Any suggestions about wah pedals?
Or should I build my own...?

Sonic Youth 37 07.15.2007 10:05 PM

Mine is just a plain Dunlop Cry-Baby, just the standard model. It could do more, but I don't use it for face-melting, so I don't mind it.

I say go with the Fasel Cry-Baby or the Vox wah

More like a scaled-down version. The Small Clone is the best I've heard in it's range and I use it lots...so if you want basic, Small Clone and if you want infinitely tweakable, get a Poly Chorus.


How do you like your polychorus, finding nobody? I asked you about it a while ago in your thread you started.

Gotta tell us how much she paid!

CHOUT 07.15.2007 11:41 PM

Nice score!

CHOUT 07.16.2007 12:13 AM

You can see my old Tele Custom up for sale at this vintage store called Willies...I hope someone buys it, I need heroin really bad.

Well said

I enjoy it. cranking up the feedback knob and letting it rip is my favorite thing to do

The Usher 07.16.2007 07:16 AM

Hey, thanks for all the advice...think I'll go for the small clone!

CHOUT 07.30.2007 02:08 PM
