[QUOTE=A_Perfect_Sonnet]Anyone in here who plays guitar want to recommend me a distortion pedal? I checked out a Zoom606 multi-effect that I liked, but if anyone has a better idea, tell me.[/QUOTE]
You're posting this in very much the wrong forum, but while it's here I'll point out an affinity for the Damage Control distortion pedals (Demonizer for rock/metal and Womanizer for blues/classic rock) if you can afford them. |
DigiTech pedals = Gods
|
Yeah, I've just decided to get a Line 6 Spider II 30, and save myself the trouble of finding an amp + pedal. I'll upgrade to a Spider 212 and get the footboard when I have the money, but you've gotta love those Celestions. Also Midnight, I figured I'd ask some people who knew what my writing was like that could offer me a pedal they think could fit my sound. Plus I like you guys better than the guitar forum people.

Okay, check check it. My new guitar is an ESP LTD Viper-200FM. Hot stuff with the EMG-HZ pickups. Makes me go "mmmmmmm."
|
sweeeeet!!!
I got given an Epiphone 400 Les Paul Custom SG by a load of mates earlier this year. T'is a beautiful guitar :D (Yes they gave it to me, they grouped together and bought me it. For ebing 'a great mate' apparently :S) |
Merry Christmas (Happy Hannukah) S&Lers.

*is jealous as hell*
I'm still using an Epi SG Special... the action is horrific, and nothing short of defretting the thing and lowering the bridge to the point of removing it will sort it. I may get a new one... I've been looking at some of the mid-level Washburns recently. Any opinions? |
What type of tone do you want, and what's your price range?
|
Umm, about £250ish (that about $375-$400US?) and I want a half decent preferably chunky tone, as I tend to play in dropped C# tuning a fair bit. A D-tuner would be handy as well, but isn't essential.
|
I got the Viper for $500US (that included tax and case). Lower end ESP LTD's don't have EMG's in them, but if you would be willing to pay a little bit more (like I had to do), check out the 200 series of the EC and Viper, or even the Hybrid (it's a telecaster style guitar with Seymor-Duncans). These guitars don't dissappoint.
Try out an Ibanez 2005 DT200, AXS32, IC200, or maybe even a Mexican made Fender Tele (I would've gotten one over the Viper, but I'm saving for a US made one). Good luck with the guitar hunt Jason. |
Hmm - I'll have a look at the Tele, certainly... I'm in love with Telecasters, and would love an excuse to get one.
|
Hey everybody. Merry christmas! Miss you all. :thumb:
|
Oh man.
I feel sick. I need water... and no more chocolate. I lost 5 pounds in the last month and a half by eating 6 trays of chocolate covered cherries, so I figured I could make a days diet on chocolate. I think it was the crunchiness... the rice or whatever... yeah. So hey. I got my dad an NES and blaster master. Best. Gift. Ever. |

A Couple years ago Kramer made a bunch of good heavy-sounding models in that price range that had Floyd Roses with EVH D-tunas on them, but I'm afraid most have been discontinued. Glad I got mine while they still made it! |
