brettthain1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thought I'd update to this great thread!What sort of tuners are people using. Everyone uses either the boss tu2 or the tu3. All I know is that it's a buffered signalThe polytune 2 stood out for me for being different and seems to get great reviews. And it's true bypass.What is the benifits of a buffered signal?

Soda Jerk Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 If you use lots of pedals, I always find it is good to have a pedal or two in there that isn't true bypass and has a buffer, which gives the TU2 an extra use, other than keeping you in tune. Too many true-bypass pedals can make the high frequencies in your tone start to disappear, and can sound a bit doughy and muddy. Some buffered pedals can sound a bit shit though, but I've never had a problem with signal going through Boss pedals when switched off.

colb Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I use the Polytune - it's decent enough. There's a lot of balls talked about true bypass and buffered pedals - I think that this is probaby true though: http://www.petecornish.co.uk/case_against_true_bypass.htmlA lot of my pedals are true bypass, so I use a frederic effects buffer at the front of my signal chain, I think it helps.

Soda Jerk Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've also read that you shouldn't put buffers between your guitar and Fuzz pedals, as Fuzz pedals rely on the current between the guitar and the germanium transistors, and buffers obstruct that quite significantly. I'd never really noticed before until I got a Nine of Swords Hand of God, which is the silliest and most sensitive fuzz pedal I've ever heard, and it generally just doesn't play well with others. Especially buffered pedals. If I have my tuner infront of it, it just growls and screams until it gets its own way. It calms down if I put a few true bypass pedals between the tuner and the Hand of God, but only a little. It really needs to be isolated to be properly usable. The Hand of God is a little shit.

colb Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds awesome though. My Fuzz Factory was the same, I've heard that Fuzz Faces are similar too. Get yourself a loop set up? all my dirt pedals are out of my main signal path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettthain1 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I don't know how to work that fuzz factory! I was thinking of getting a fuzz face too as it's pretty self explanatory on how it works and is a timeless classic! I spent an hour messing around with it yesterday and it's endless fun, but I does like to be first in the signal chain.

I have no idea about these sort of tonal difference. I still like that poly tune, it's jus completely different to what others are using and looks clean and compact!

Alkaline Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't use any true bypass pedals and my guitar tone is sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just taken delivery of a Sonuus Wahoo, so I am very excited about trying it at band practice tonight. On the subject of true bypass vs buffered - I don't think it should be as important as some people make out, especially live. You are doing pretty well to notice a difference in your guitar tone with a drummer playing for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettthain1 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'll have to go with whatever one I prefer and then one I've completed my pedal board, I'll see what needs I proving from there.I bought a 2nd hand digitech synth wah. I can't wait to freak out my band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Right guys, I've been ordering my pedals the same way for a long time now, but I am tempted to switch things up a bit in pursuit of new sounds. So here is a wee challenge. How would you organise (guitar > amp) these pedals:Boss TunerDigitech WhammyBoss DD6 DelayDiamond Quantum Leap Delay / muli-effectsBoss Phaser copyNorth Effects TremoloZvex Fuzz FactoryElectro Harmonix Big Muff PiDemeter Uber Driveulator (clean boost pedal)TC Electronics Trinity ReverbSonuus Wahoo wah pedal/envelope filterJust in case you think it's important, guitar would be a Fender Stratocaster/Gibson SG into a Sound City 50 Plus amplifier playing through and Orange 2x12 cabinet.

colb Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I might try: TunerWahDelayPhaserTremFuzz FactoryMuffDriveulatorQuantum LeapWhammyReverb Delay either side of distortion will give a few more options - and I like whammy at the end because it makes weird glitch noises when it's got an effected signal feeding it. Conventional wisdom always puts the wah at the front, I've never used one so that's a guess from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 TunerWhammyDriveulatorBig MuffFuzz FactoryDD6Quantum LeapTremoloPhaserWah/EnvelopeReverb I prefer dirt before mod (except for the whammy, which goes a bit wild) and I tend to stack dirt in order of dirtiness. So boosts/OD, then filth. I find they stack better that way. I don't get much joy out of OD after fuzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Will a boost work as intended before distortion - surely it'll just make it more distorted, not actually any louder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
