What should my next toy be?

[Robert]

Thinking I need a new toy. Not an expensive amp - I think I'd have to settle for what I have now, for a while. I'm thinking I might need another pedal. I mean, come on, I only have 24 or so of them. :D

What else should I throw some "minor" money at? Some good Lava cables maybe, oh yeah - I need another daisy chain for my 1-Spot Adapter so I can have an obscene number of pedals hooked up at one time, with only one power supply.

I am thinking a nice multieffect for my amp might be cool too. I have a good reverb, but it would be nice to have access to more than that in the fx loop of my amps.

For pedals, I've been contemplating an Octafuzz, Fuzz Factory, some kind of good vibe pedal, EX-7 Expression Factory, or maybe a new wah - Crybaby 95Q, or maybe a RC Booster.

[Rabies]

A POG seems like it would be wicked fun...:AOK:

[sumitomo]

I vote for th RC Booster and maybe a ZVEX amp for on the go! Sumi :D

TC Electronics G System (http://www.tcelectronic.com/G-System.asp)or

Nova System (http://www.tcelectronic.com/NovaSystem).

[Tim]

I can only imagine!!!!!

[Katastrophe]

I think you could do really cool things with a guitar synth, but methinks they are a tad expensive...

[marnold]

An EX-7. All the cool kids have one. Come on. You know you want one.

[Gil Janus]

The JangleBox (http://janglebox.com/) seems to be very interesting. A little pricey - but you can't let cost get in the way of good GAS :rotflmao:

Gil :cool:

:rotflmao: :bravo: :rotflmao: but true.;)

Cool kids is fine, but the more important question is, are there any cool old men (like me) using it? :rotflmao:

None that are still living. Most of them give out by the time...well...just thank your industrial sized veins.

[Guitar Gal]

I think you need to pursue your quest for a guitar with humbuckers :rockon:

Get the Hagstrom Robert.....you know you want one........:poke:

It's all a matter of perspective my friend. Here's a picture of Strum and I at our last High School reunion.

Now shut the hell up ya' young punk and go get that Hagstrum like GG suggested.
:rockon: <--how come we don't have an "old man rockin' out" icon????

[Robert]

Shiner, which one of you passed out first, and why?

It was Strum . . . he had gas . . . not the good kind.:poke:

[Epiphone]

What type of distortion pedal should I get? Everyone I have talked to so far says I should get a Boss Metal Zone, but I want to see what everyone else has to say. Any suggestions?

[dws]

Not to go back on topic or anything :D, but...

I'm not sure if 600$ (U.S.) is near what your looking to spend in the money department, but there are 2 Marshall amps that are availible...phenomenally versatile with vast ranges of sound qualities in every genre. The two models are:

1) Marhsall MG100HDFX/MG412 Slant Cab Half Stack

2) Marshall MG100HDFX/MG412 Half Stack with Digital Effects (the better buy imho).



Just my little bit of imput.

[Robert]

I'm just not a fan of the MG series Marshalls. If I were to get a Marshall, I'd save up and get a used Jubilee or perhaps a Vintage Modern. But then we are talking plenty of dough.

[Rabies]

So have we given you any good ideas yet? What are you leaning towards?

[Robert]

Ummm.... it will probably be cables and a pedal of some sort.... hmm....
:whatever: (oops)

Any hint as to what type of pedal? Dirt, mod, etc.? :confused:

Inquiring minds...:AOK:

[Robert]

Well... I don't know yet! That's what the whole thread is supposed to help me with! :deadhorse:

[Rabies]

Well... I don't know yet! That's what the whole thread is supposed to help me with! :deadhorse:

So you're getting a POG, right? :deadhorse:

:rotflmao:

[Robert]

POG? Is that a Piece Of Grit?! :) :D

[Rabies]

POG? Is that a Piece Of Grit?! :) :D

No. Picture Of Girls. :beer:

[marnold]

Well, Robert, my definition of "kids" has changed a bit over the past couple of years. It now means, "Those who aren't, you know, technically dead."

[Robert]

I am thinking I need a new pedalboard and some more daisy chain cables for my 1-Spot adapter.

Anyone got experience with http://www.pedaltrain.com/ ?
Seems like nice pedalboards.

I have been using my home made pedalboard for years. It's made out of a suit case. It's starting to fall apart, and I'm thinking I'll skip the handyman approach this time.

[Tone2TheBone]

Get some more games for your Xbox! Or a Zvex Fuzz Factory...the fancy fun painted one!

[Tone2TheBone]

PS - That Pedaltrain Pro is coooooool get that one.

[Robert]

The Pedaltrain Pro looks huge. I think the PT-2 would be enough for me. I should get that hard case for it too, in case some one gives me a hard case about how I transport my pedals... ; :twap:

If you get the Pedaltrain Pro you could always pack your running shoes inside it too. ;)

[sunvalleylaw]

The PT-2 looks really cool. I have been thinking of a "build my own" one like Robert has, and currently just carry the ones I want in an old softside laptop case. I think a large enough laptop case could do me just fine if I found one, for less dough.

Yep, I just looked, you can find soft side laptop cases for cheap on fleabay. If I got one more of those, I could carry all my stompboxes and my wah, looper etc. in two cases and connect them with a short cable. I like that PT-2, but don't want to spend $200 on a case.

[Robert]

Well I ordered another 1-spot multi-plug 5 cable.
The Pedaltrain is on my list now. Just have to figure out what the best way to get one would be. Shipping with the hard case is quite expensive. I've been quoted $40 for that. I'm hoping I can find some Canadian dealer for a Pedaltrain.

Typically the rule is....start your own thread on your topic instead of piggy backing on someone elses...it helps reduce confusion...and with the suggestions of what distortion pedal is right for whom....the list can be long and distinguished.....but most here would agree....Duhvoodooman's Zonkin Yellow Screamer seems to be the best.
