i'm lookig for some new equipment to have fun with too, but due to my lack of "guitar" friends i know almost nothing about guitar brands and lingo, i'mlooking at some pedals that i can have fun with could anyone give some suggestions? i play a Ibanez GIO, not the best qulity guitar but at least it's a major name, i'm pretty sure i use a Peavy Rage, but i'm not certain i'll double check that when i get back home...............wow that's pretty sad that i don't even know my amp for sure....

Center Stage has the best amplification/effects stuff in Kingston. I still like Renaissance better because they've got the Gibsons.

lets see.....well....since you are not too knowlegable about guitar effects, I recommend and Zoom 505 multi-effects pedal.I used to have one but I upgraded to the Boss GT-6.

Ummm. Can I assume that your peavy Rage is an Practice amp?

actually it's a Blazer nota rage.....

so its a practice amp then. Correct?

yep

Do you have any idea as to how much money you are willing to spend?

probably not to much more then $200 maybe $250 if i'm in a reckless mood, i can't afford much more

Well...If You are looking for an effects pedal. I highly recommend you buying a Zoom 505 or 606. The 606 has a expression pedal built on it. Its up to you which to buy of course. The cost should be around $170 an up.

Hope that helps.

thanx alot, i'm still kinda lost when i enter the local guitar store, because i can actually play decent i'm just ignorant to the rest of the world, it's embarrasing

How long have you been playing?

effects schmeffects

plug'n'play baby

2 years but only one on electric, and proabbly only one of that would be considered seriously playing, the first year i just leanred the chords and strummed folky stuff on my acoustic

It's been a while for this thread...


Right now I use an Ibanez DS7 Tone-Lok distortion pedal. I'm sick of it. It's a pain in the ass to switch on. I often have to stop playing if I want to switch it.

Here's what I've got:


Here's what I hope to get tomorrow afternoon (if I like it when I try it out):

The Marshall GV-2

It's got 6 adjustments:

-Gain
-Deep
-Bass
-Treble
-Middle
-Master Volume

Compared to the DS7's:
-Drive
-Tone
-Volume

Cool. How much does it cost?

I just bought me some new gear today too

The guy that I phoned said it would cost around $120 on sale, depending on if I pick the GV-2 or the JH-1 (the JH-1 is a lot heavier, so I doubt I'll pick it, but it's the other distortion pedal by Marshall).

Plus, I'll get around $40 on a trade in for my DS7.

What did you buy?

I got my self an Ebow and Boss Delay pedal


Boss effects pedals are too expensive dammit

I bought the GV-2. It's pretty awesome. But it's going to take me a while to get used to it, and figure out which settings to use for each song I play.

Next on my hit list is a new amp. I tested the pedal on a mega huge amp at the guitar store and just about died. My little 15" just doesn't cut it any more.

Any suggestions for amps? I'm thinking Marshall's a pretty reliable brand, but I'm open to suggestions. (I have a Crate now).

[ also, what's the newest sig tab? ]

Well, I hear that Marshall amps are usually the best for guitar amps but, it basically boils down to ones personal tastes and budget. I'm going to start using Marshall Amps tommorow. As of tommorow, I will be the proud owner of a brand new Marshall Half-Stack
OH MY GOD!! I AM SO PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
