i used to be a distortion bro but i often have trouble finding a distortion sound i like these days and have got really into nice clean guitar as a result. i used to play guitar through my brother’s bass amp for years for convenience but when i finally got a new Fender Champion last year it sounds gorgeous clean, was like “oh yeah this is what guitars are supposed to sound like lol”

Welcome to effects pedals!

I had to learn to live with my clean guitar sound, couldn’t afford anything for years. I like my clanky, rattly tone now.

are you able to record to your PC?

have a play about with some VSTs to see what does what to your guitar. Then you’ll know if you’d want some modulation or compression in pedal form etc

#29

that’s a bit personal

j/k I don’t have any type of computer interface equipment, no.

depending on your phone it might be good enough to capture then transfer files over, just so you get a feel of what does what without dropping $$$

Compressor (always on, more of a tone enhancer than anything)

Overdrive (EQD Westwood is my absolute favourite low to mid gain. If I had to choose one it would be the Blues Driver because it’s more versatile. The il Torino gets used as a clean boost with active EQ, it’s an awful overdrive)

Fuzz and distortion (that Danelectro v1 Cool Cat is the single best £25 pedal in existence and is easily my favourite fuzz)

Modulation (that chorus is another £30 steal, the Walrus tremolo is really lush, the JHS spring tank is always on)

Amps in a box (my Egnater Tweaker amp does a good Fender impression and an ok Vox impression, so I have those for cleans and these Orange and Marshall sounds for grit)

I could easily get rid of half of these I think.

But I like them.

Typically I go guitar into the Helix which has 4 parallel paths:

  1. Basic guitar sound: Amp sim (fender twin or princeton), spring reverb
  2. Path two will go out of send 1 of the helix where it splits with an A/B/Y pedal.
    2a) Goes into the freqout
    2b) goes into the quintessence harmoniser pedal, the ravish sitar (dont use), the pog2, the cathedral reverb, the sloika multiband distortion, then the made by mike dream box (op amp big muff and mxr distortion plus)
    I can switch between either the freqout or the other chain, or blend them. That goes back into return 1 of the Helix and has additional helix effects, normally the space echo and reverb, sometimes the goatkeeper trem. The freqout sounds really good with its own delay and reverb while keeping path 1 undelayed. Use path 2b for heavier doomy effects. can turn on and off or bring in with expression pedal.
  3. additional atmosphere layer. typically a pitch shifter 50% mix one octave up. into a particle verb, into DMM style delay, some modulation then reverb. can turn on and off or bring in with expression pedal.
  4. path from my laptop that has software instruments

Dont currently use my loopers much (ditto x4 and aeros) but they can be incorporated with send/return 2 on the helix (cant figure out where to put in the chain)

Only use a bit of spring reverb 90% of the time
