Ok ni/gg/ers, what should i get for my first pedal?

Options:
>MXR analog chorus
>Ibanez tube screamer mini
>Dunlop fuzz face

Current gear: squier classic vibe tele + peavey envoy 110 (pic related). play mostly 60s/70s rock and roll plus some country/blues/folk stuff on the side. looking to spice it up a bit.

>>68291682
fuzz is a good idea for a first pedal. more fun than distortion

>>68291682
The chorus would fit the 60s/70s stuff nicely but a flanger or phase shifter would probably be even cooler. If I were you I'd go for the tube screamer or fuzz face first to have another kind of distortion sound available, or as a boost for solo work.

>>68291742
>>68291745
i was leaning towards the fuzz, not a bad idea.

my amp doesnt have any obvious 'effects loop' outputs in the back, it has a 'remote switch', 'preamp out' and 'headphones'

is it even pedal compatible? i think it's a tube amp. it's really old, i got it for less than 100 bucks secondhand.

If you had to pick only one of the following:

- Envelop Filter (Wah)
- Phaser
- Flanger

What would it be? why?

>>68291818
Distortion effects usually go in front of the amp, so you go guitar > fuzz > amp. All you need is a second cable and either 9V batteries or a wall wart for the pedal.

>>68291826
Wah is nice but overdone at this point.
Phaser is cool but not very versatile (at least the Phase 90 isn't).
Flanger it is. Some modifications and you can have crazy pitch shifting effects at the push of a button. Usable for wide range of genres and styles.

>>68291856
Listen to this Auto-Wah though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7XkE2iPnVA

>>68291682
Get yourself a decent overdrive such as a Boss SD-1 or an Ibanez Tubescreamer. A good overdrive can make a shitty amp sound slightly better if you can dial it in right.

>>68291895
Ehhhhh
Doesn't really appeal to me but if you like it, go for it.

>>68291842
ah ok sweet

>>68291922
ds1? that one seems pretty affordable but my amp can do overdrive pretty well on its own. was really looking for something unique like the chorus or fuzz

>>68291624
>>68291602
ok this is pretty cute so far

those anime pickguards are still cancer though

>>68292045
The DS-1 is really harsh and metallic sounding. A really heavy distortion or fuzz might not blend in that well with a solid state amp like that peavey. A natural sounding overdrive like a Tubescreamer will sound ten times better.

>>68292045
The SD-1 is about $50.00 USD. I own it myself and it's not a bad overdrive pedal for the price.

>>68293012
which tubescreamer? also do you think the mxr analog chorus would work with it? im really intrigued by the possibilities, feeling like i could do some late-70s stones style stuff with it.

>>68293030
yea a lot of the boss stuff looks p affordable.

none of the above

you should get a delay pedal and I can give you 2 solid reasons why

1. it's the best effect
2. it will make you a better guitarist

playing with a delay will keep you playing in time and will help you learn to harmonize and "play along"

a chorus will be boring, a tube screamer is a big no no without a tube amp, and a fuzz face is so subtle, again basically bad without a cranked tube amp

that's all

delay delay delay

>>68293012
DS-1 is a great starting pedal since it's only $30 however why even work with the DS-1 when you could be working with the DS-2 it's better and doesn't sound nearly as bad?

>>68293218

>gets 3rd blowjob since starting this post. So many blowjobs it hurts the penis

>>68293266

delay pedal is like an echo. so when you play scales you can harmonize with yourself, kinda like 'row row row your boat' if you know what i mean

here's a good example of delay. i know the wall is a meme no flame

>2. it will make you a better guitarist
It will make you sound like a better guitarist because it fills out your fuckup spaces.

I currently use an off-brand strato plugged to my computer with a 6.35 -> 3.5mm adapter and I'm looking to improve my sound. What does /gg/ think will make a better improvement: buying a proper audio interface with 6.35mm input or getting a better guitar with at least some humbuckers?
I know I should eventually get both, but I'm a poorfag and will have to work one step at a time with this.

>>68293418

that too, but I believe practicing scales and arpeggios, or just improvising with a delay is more fun than playing with a metronome and every bum note you throw out will come back and bite you in the ass a few times

>>68293338
sounds neat but it's not really applicable to the type of music i play

pink floyd is dope but i dont play anything nearly that progressive

i was more interested in something to put a little edge on my tones, maybe thicken things up a bit/help my cut through on lead. when i have that peavy set to lead and bright and go to the bridge on my tele it can really cut, but it's twang is on steroids. i want something to fatten up the bass and make it a little raunchier, or use a chorus to thicken up the higher register

I'm leaving for uni soon and will only get back at the end of the day, so a sample will have to wait until tomorrow, but I'm aware I'm a pretty shit player. The reason I'm considering a humbucker guitar is because I really came to dislike the strato's characteristic sound and it doesn't really work with some of the high-gain stuff I like to play, not because I believe it will magically make me a good player.

And it barely matters, but I do have an amp, I just don't use it often.

>>68293486

>>68293661
>Why even live
For tube amps that cost less than a couple grand

>>68293518
Yeah, I mostly use the neck or neck/middle configurations nowadays, but having a strato and not using the bridge pickup for the strato sound feels somewhat wrong.

My playing is all over the place since I'm self taught and only play alone. I know basic scales(major/minor, pentatonic, blues) though I can't do much with them; the basic chords, including barres, though I suck at strumming and keeping rhythm in general; and I can play some fast-ish power metal leads/solos at ~80% of the tempo. Can't really work things out by ear yet either.

Gotta go now, I'll check the thread when I'm back and try to record something.

>>68293702

>>68294703
if you can possible save up for a classic vibe for a fender mim then you definitely should. no reason to buy an inferior guitar if you don't have to. $250-$300 used is about as cheap as you'll find something that sounds good and that you'll continue to enjoy playing.

>>68294650
are these just cheapened american standards like the highway 1's were?

I'm talking strictly about build quality of course. You may prefer a VM to a CV.

The different squires have weird but widths, and consequently string spacings. My squire standard tele has a 41mm nut, which is different enough that it can't use tele nuts and has that much less wiggle room on the fretboard. I *think* the classic vibe uses standard fender size nuts.

You're supposed to let the strings ring out; the unison is intentional.

>>68295817
when you play open mics and people say 'wow your chops are really tight man. why are you still playing that pos guitar?' then you can upgrade.

any upgrades before then and you're just doing it because you want a nicer guitar, not because you deserve it. which is fine, i did the same thing except saved up to buy a decent guitar right off the bat and then never upgraded (mim strat) except amps

>>68295817
Knowing Cort QC, it can be either decent or mediocre depending on the finish quality.

>>68295817
I never liked Cort. They're allegedly much better than last time I touched one though.

When you feel the guitar is holding you back and sounds like shit, get a new one.

>>68295857

it feels ok to me but it sounds way better on my teachers amp than on mine (obviously i guess cause he´s professional), i have a roland cube 10gx does anyone have experience with those?

>>68295953
Cubes are ok for bedroom practice, they don't sound great though.

>>68295953
amp is more than half your sound.

most people will tell you a gigging musician usually spends way more cash on the amp than the guitar itself.

seymour duncan's arent worth shit if theyre being squeezed thorugh shit eq and flaccid gain.

$550 instead of $800

do you guys think it's worth trading a seagull s6 dreadnought acoustic for a mim strat?

i bought the acoustic for $270 and put $80 worth of work/strings into it, the mim is a white/maple listed at $380. i kind of like having the acoustic for pure versatility, but i never really play it these days because im really self conscious about practicing and like to be able to control my volume. also if i get this strat i will have a holy trinity of lp, tele and strat, so...

>>68296188
what's special about it?

>>68296199

>>68296205
well i've only been using it for a couple days but it sounds very clear and has great range compared to the bad monkey i'd been using

>>68296199
that strat sounds very overpriced and you'll probably regret getting rid of your acoustic. save up/wait until you find one for like 250.

>>68295923
I like all fuzz faces, can't go wrong with any of them really . But if you play mellow I would check out the Jimi Hendrix fuzz face, it's just a bit cleaner in the lower settings which is probably good for you if you play mellow.

Thoughts on Peavey T-60's? They seem like pretty nice, underrated guitars but they have been going up in price recently so I want to snag one before they get too expensive. I really like the look of them but no local guitars shops have them so I haven't been able to play one.

yo /mu/, hear my idea. I currently own pic related (MIM Fender Strat HSS Cherry Red w/ black pickguard). It's in excellent condition; no dings, dents, scratches, etc. and I've played it but I just don't like the HSS configuration. At my local shop they have a white on white w/ maple fretboard strat that I want, so I'm hoping that if I bring them the red HSS they'll do a trade.

What do you think?

You just have to stay away from meme models (aka ones used by famous rockers) if you want to find a decent price on a good Gibson. If you want 335-ish tone on a budget look at the Midtown, ES-135/7, Howard Roberts. Usually any other semi-hollow in the same quality range will be just as expensive.

>>68300312
Eh Ibanez semi-hollows don't really get good until you hit the MIJ (prestige?) series. Just played the new George Benson model and it feels like a $500 Chinese guitar (but it still costs $1500) also made in China.

For that money a lesser known Gibson model is a better deal imo.

Just get a fucking bassist to play with you you fucking autists.

>not using a 12 string for lush toanz

>>68304000
Thats quite a reddit thing to say anon :^)

>>68304199
At least Reddit has quality discussions and actually funny memes.

>stop liking what I don't like!

Maybe some of us don't need a bassist, did you ever think about that?

>>68300666
But then you wouldn't be able to bend strings.

>>68304450
You could if you set it up correctly and not like a retard.

>>68304057
More people involved just means more cretins who don't play like I want them to play.

There is literally no reason for an ensemble to have more than one person for each of the three instrumental types wind, strings and percussion.

>>68304491
You could, but you'd still get a delay, and then a bizarre clunk... and then you'd be able to bend.

Ew gross, could you play with that?

>>68304677
Absolutely. Never having to tune again sounds awesome.

>>68304724
Sounds awesome to an absolute guitar noob who doesn't know shit about the importance of tuning.

>>68304724
I dont know why you would do that, most decent guitars stay in tune for at least a week if they are set up properly, and that would kill resale value to put in any guitar, unless im missing something.

Also, wouldnt the intonation be off because of the saddle moving when you adjust tension?

>>68304776
supposedly the intonation is improved because the tension on the live length of string is constant, rather than increasing up the neck.

>Not playing tasty jazz licks on an eight string
It's like you don't even want to have fun.

>>68304774
>The importance of tuning
???
>>68304776
The saddle doesn't move when it's set up correctly, and it'll hold tuning for months if you want it to. Also,
>caring about resale value
Playing an instrument hurts it's resale value too, better not do that then

>>68304724
I meant the awful pause between bending the string and then actually hearing the pitch change. Don't get me wrong, it's revolutionary if you don't play rock or blues. In fact I wish someone actually had the fucking intelligence to come up with this design seventy years ago before bending became established in guitar culture, then we'd all use EverTune (once they've made it less ugly) without there being any downsides (due to string bending not having come to pass).

I guess im mistaken
>>68304838
Im not saying that resale matters to you, im just saying it makes a difference to some people
