effects

HAlp! I need some advice regarding a good compressor to run in my rig for live use. I have had some issues with my effects chain causing some peaks (fuzz, phaser, dist and wah on at once=peak limiter in FOH on a LOT), and basically having to reign in my dynamics to avoid quite stuff dissapearing...

Simple question, what do you guys like or use for effects pedal cables?

I am doing some experiment with the korg ax5b i got for playing at home with headphones. Just wondering if anyone of you uses some effect on his Vampyre and which kind. Thanks

Just a quick question. I'm having a bit of trouble cutting through the mix, as I am in a metal band and have to fight with 2 loud guitarists. The thing is, I've heard good things about BBE Sonic Stomp sonic maximizer, and also about Aphex Bass Exciter. Have you tried either one? Also I didn't...

Anyone know a decent pedal/preamp which has a good by-pass/fx loop to it. My effects are getting rather numerous, and the Korg G5 i've been using has the worst by-pass i know of. I'm after something that will let me have my bass signal go in, and then have an fx loop which i can switch on...

So, after checking out the "Nobby Clip" thread, I've decided that instead of working toward just a fretless 'Wick for 2009, I'd also like to assemble a little collection of effects processors, loopers, and all kinds of fun stuff for me to play around with seeing as I'm not, nor do I plan...

Do body woods really effect the tone on NTs Since the the neck goes all the way through the body. I can't imagine the two pieces of wood on the sides would effect the sound considering they aren't even in the strings sound path. I can see the neck woods and the fretboard woods effecting the...

im looking to buy a rack mount multi effects unit for my rig, thing is i cant find any, i just want one with the basic effects and not all the high tech shit, which i cant understand at the best of times, you guy got any suggestions? cheers lewis.

Well... I bought the Boss GT-10B today with a killer Sam Ash coupon... Now I have to figure out how to work all this insane effects... from no effects to more than I can handle!!! I will post something when I figure it out...

I need your help! I have found my KORG A5 Bass Effect, but i didnt find the manual. Can somebody help me here? And btw, what effects are u using? Do you think distorting the bass-sound is a good thing? Greetz Uzed :idea:

Alright guys, I've sorted myself financially for a new bass, amp and possibly a bunch of effects pedals... What do you guys use?! I've spent my lunch break today looking at Boss multi-effect units. Particularly the GT-10B: The ME 20B and the ME 50B I'm pretty new to effects...

Hey, I just bought a pro fet 5.1 (sounds amazing) but i was wondering whether i should run my effects pedals through the effects loop or whether I should plug my bass straight into the pedals and then into the input of the amp? Thanks

I know this topic has been done before, but I'm sure many of you are like me - you continue to evolve your sound. And while I'm still very "protective" of my main sound, I've started to experiment a bit more with effects lately. How about you?

so at my regular gig i generally use my swr redhead 2x10 combo as a stage monitor, with a balanced out to the board. the guy in the booth compresses my signal and everyone is happy. now i have an additional gig, and its small enough that i don't go through the board. i am thinking about a...

When ever i use my effects pedals i plug the guitar into the input and the output to my amp. On my new amp it has an effect send and return could i connect my efftect pedals into these or is it just for efftect proccesors and if so what is the diifernce?

Well, I'm kind of a n00b on the bass. drums are my main instrument. only been playing bass for about a year, so please excuse me if the questions i ask around the forum aren't intelligent ones. on to the main subject! i don't know too much about effects for guitar/bass, but they interest the...

I PLAY A CORVETTE BASIC. GET GREAT SOUND VARIANCE FROM THIS BEAUTY WITH NO EFFECTS SO FAR. I HAVE DECIDED TO TRY SOME EFFECTS WITH THE HEAVY ROCK AND METAL THAT I LIKE. WHICH IS BETTER, SINGLE FUNCTION OR MULTI FUNCTION PEDALS OR BOX? IF SINGLE FUNCTION IS BETTER WHAT SHOULD BE THE FIRST...

Was just wondering which effects do you guys use... I've got an Akai Deep Impact bass synth for which I haven't found much use yet, and plan to get a Fulltone Bassdrive overdrive. I had a Boss ODB-3 overdrive but sold it, too harsh-metallic sounding and killed my tone
