I shrinked my pedalboard from 11 or 12 pedals to only 6 pedals!
What I learned after a few gigs with my band:
- Only use pedals you really need for your songs, don’t add pedals because you think you could have a use for it in the future.
- Behringer Vintage Phaser is such a great pedal, great vintage tones!
- I’m impressed by the T.Rex Chorus/Flanger pedal, very precise settings and beautifull sounds
- The Joyo Uzi is really great with all the settings available to shape the sounds and the “bites” of the distorsion
- I tried several Tremolo effects, I always come back to the Behringer Ultra Tremolo, even if it’s a very cheap pedal, it does the job!
Never tried Phaser/Flanger BEFORE the Distortion, I’ll give it a try soon, thanks for the suggestion!
The UZI is a great agressive Dist, I really enjoy it… But: so many knobs to play with. I’ts cool in a way because you can really shape your sound with several styles… But it’s a potential complication too when playing live (I’m always switching the knobs in order to reach the “perfect” sound, instead of focusing on my playing).
So much that I may replace this pedal with a more “simple” one: the infamous CoPro Rat (3 obvious knobs and that’s it).
Okay good to know. If you’re into the Rat try out the Mudhoney from T.Rex. It is similar to a Rat. The Mudhoney II has two Mudhoneys in one pedal. Sounds pretty good in my setup!
