I know not everyone here likes/uses FX, but here's a Poll for those of us that do. If voting "Other" please tell us what it is. :banana-guitar:

Ok well I voted for delay and chorus BUT I wanted to vote for 3 because just recently I discovered how to get compression to boost the sustain and I think I will start using way more for some situations!
-
Chorus and Reverb for me!
-
Delay and Pitch Shifter. I use the shifter more as a detuner/chorus without the wobble for that modern EVH type tone. :thumb-up:

Hey soloist check out my harmoniser clip on the pitchshiftyness thread man.
My fav as per my vote I just submitted is Chorus an reverb. Partly because they are the two staples of guitar playing diet.
Although I have room for others, it's just a time and a place. Sometimes and an effect can add the extra dimension you need. If I think I can stick in a subtle flager or phaser effect I'll go for it. But it needs to be nailed and the right place to do it. The same goes for delay. I'm only recently just starting to think about where I could use some delay in solos. Only ever used it once in an intro where I played an appreggio and then had the delay repeat it once right after and so on and so forth.

RG that sounds sweet. I really like the run at :46.
I was a chorus man myself until I discovered how to set the pitch shifter in my G Major 2. I didn't care for the chorus on the GM2 so I have a Boss CE-5 in my loop as well.
-
cheers man. I have yet to use this but I do like the "downtuned effect" or chorus effect that can be obtained by a pitch shift.
Why is that effect called downtuned? Sounds nothing like being downtuned?
I love my stereo chorus. But I use it subte, I never heap it on like really obvious, I colour the sound, like similar to later 80's priest of you get me? Not even sure if the did that or not but it sounds similar to me :thumb-up:
I also love the harmoniser, I think the Boss sounds really good. I have no idea how other people find it hard to track them. Perhaps they play shit. I heard Marty Friedman review one of their stompbox pitchshifters/harmoniser one time, not sure if this was recent or not I can't remember and he actually mentions he has always found them hard to track his playing. I find it easy even doing that fast picking.

Mmm 2 options is a bit limiting, but my staples are a mild stereo delay and stereo reverb (a must have >:D ). In MP1 I liked using the chorus as a nice short fattening delay (depth 100 rate 0), in MP2 that seems to flange a bit (with 2 x 12 cab wired stereo). But FX are horses for coursers (very subjective :facepalm: ), one approach, get a good tone on your rig (no FX) then blend in the FX you want :thumb-up: .
-
well if we are being that specific my reverb and chorus need to be stereo, also when I use delay I like to have a stereo one of these also which I get via the Boss

Same as me really. In that order?
Is wah counted? I like that too I just never use it but I will some time :) I use to use a stuck wah a lot when I was a kid on my Zoom 2100.................ahh those were the days of early FX discovery

Reverb,delay and chorus
How come you get to pick three? :o :o :nono:
-
I've selected reverb and chorus as they are all over everything, but they are so common in a basic tone that i almost don't really think of them as effects. As far as other stuff goes, i really love a good phaser but i don't use it much. I'm keen to get more into using delays and harmonies.

Mike how often do you use Chorus? On and off at time or on all the time?
I use mine all the time for subtle doubling effect, then when I want a more "chorus sound" I have a different setting that allows more of the actual chorus tone out.
Also, I used to have reverb on subtely constantly. But I have noticed if I am in a bigger venue that has a lot of natural reverb I will turn it off completely because I can hear enough of the natural reverb.
Does anyone ever have their bass player use any chorus on their rig? I would like to get our bassist using it sometimes but I wouldn't know if it would work well if say the guitar had modulation on also.
-
I use a phaser a lot. Specifically my Moog 12 stage phaser with expression pedals. I can do everything from faux wag to ring mod with it.
-
Gerry, I use the chorus to get the subtle doubling effect on my distorted tones and my clean ones have the proper chorus sound. I have the reverb mix controlled by one of the expression pedals on my fcb1010 so i can adjust it mid song to suit what I'm doing.

For the chorus that's pretty much the same as me. I could never go back to a mono rig.
I used to have a rack delay set like 10ms on one side with no repeats, but I haven't got around to getting that back up and running.

I totally agree..... stereo rig all the way :thumb-up:
I run 1 delay at 30ms with no repeats and the other varies from patch to patch.
On my cleans I use the 8 voice chorus on the Intellifex. Beautiful sounding chorus 8)
On my med and high gain either pitch shifter (used as a chorus) or my Boss chorus ensemble, sometimes both!
-
I quite like a pan effect also. Never used it in a song though. Have heard others using it well, that and a Slicer effect.
Heard Judas Priest using a slicer effect before. And if it wasn't a slicer it did the same thing.
What else do i like? I like messing aroung with a ring modulator fromn time to time, but it's just crazy.

Damn I sure wish I had that Intellifex 8 voice chorus that so many drool over it for my cleans too!

Hey RG Chorus on bass (can work well)

Oh I know man, but not always in the style I'm playing. I mean tonnes of bands had a chorus on the bass in the 80's, it sounds f**king awesome, but I just dunno how I'd squeeze it into our sound :???: Perhaps have to wait for the right track to come along. Our bassist/vocalist has this

I bought it for him because he hasn't a clue about gear or settings or anything lol It has a great compressor/limiter and the modulation is subtle and nice too.

Something neat to try is to have 2 Chorus fx at the same time. Use the Chorus that comes with the MP-1/2 and acc another set at different Rate and Depth. The sounds will "crash" into each other when the signal waves momentarily match.
