>>128073650Quite partial to a good fuzz tbdesuyone.
>>128073650>haven't been toppedwhat about>fuzz>distortion>univibe>analog delayI do enjoy a good reverb, but I can enjoy guitar with or without it.
>>128073650based
>>128073650I like chorus, twin channel distortion and chorus is unmatched for metal, I've never liked reverb very much
>>128078320chorus is the best effect other than dirt (preferably fuzz) imo
>>128073650Zoom chorus on the Manics records would disagree
>>128073650Surf guitar delay is peak
>>128073650Delay > ReverbAlso, Wah is the true king of guitar effects. It's often used tastelessly, but with some restraint, it really makes the guitar sing. Tremolo is nice, but too niche to be top-tier.
>>128079205>Wah is the true king of guitar effectsGuitarmong "opinion", shittiest gaudiest effect ever
>>128079205Like I said, it's often used tastelessly. Don't judge a really versatile effect just because Kirk Hammet and Zack Wylde abuse it.

>>128080444I like the first Stooges album where Ron sucks dick at playing guitar so he just stomps on the wah pedal the whole time
>invents most guitar effects in 1874
>>128073650other than distortion and maybe wah, the rest of the effect pedals are useless. i don't know why people waste money on them, you can only do so much to alter a note's sound
>>128073650>in 1961 Marty Robbins' band records an acoustic bass guitar solo>tube blew on the recording preamp>sound is all fucked>Marty Robbins hates it and wants a rerecord>producer insists on leaving it in>days after release he's credited with inventing an entirely new guitar sound>he's flooded with letters from other musicians and producers asking how to replicate his sound>the first fuzz pedal is invented shortly afterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgZAoJQSNW4
>>128082656And first recorded fuzz pedal after that I think was Ann Margeret of all people. Dope song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC30bWoZB_M
>>128082582>you can only do so much to alter a note's soundWhat about shoegaze? It's pretty much an entire genre built on effects pedals.
>>128082704Awesome song, thanks for sharing. I guess if we're doing unusually ahead of its time effects, there's always Runaway, a 1961 rock hit that had a fucking synthesizer solo in ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veRHPL9xFpY
>>128075081I want a Fender Mikuverb
>>128082762>>128082704In terms of intentional distortion from an amp I never see John Lee Hooker mentioned but his early recordings sound very much like a small overdriven amp to me (with a lot of tape distortion on everything obviously too)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEflU9_2DXY
>>128086938never heard that hooker track before. very tasty
>>128082582> other than distortion and maybe wah, the rest of the effect pedals are useless. i don't know why people waste money on them, you can only do so much to alter a note's soundbait used to be believable…
>>128073650fuzz bros our response?
>>128073650Interesting how entire genres are defined by one effect. Dream Pop by Reverb, Goth by chorus, Sludge/Stoner by Fuzz and so on
>>128073650Boss Metal Zone has entered the chat
>>128088833Valid point
>>128089387The Metal Zone chugs like a train if you know how to use it properly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxRe99Tjlwg
>>128087374Yeah that one's cool, some of his early ones are pretty different to a lot of his more well known stuff
For me, its the Roland RE-201 Space Echo.
Fell in love with tremolo ever since Rumble
>>128095103mmmm, yes. more of a binson fellow myself.
>>128089387>>128091268Boss really fucked over the MT-2 by not calling it a pre-amp, or even at least telling people it goes better direct into the fx loop
