Tell me your vibes
Give me some recommendations on a vibe pedal, and a price thereabouts. It's time for me to upgrade, yet I must watch my money spent.

Re: Tell me your vibes
Check out the Danelectro Cool Cat Vibe. I haven't heard or used it, but the rest of the pedals in the Cool Cat line are excellent(and in some cases copies of boutique stuff) and they also go for like $40 new. They probably have them in Guitar Center, also.

Re: Tell me your vibes
Oh. Also, you could check out the Danelectro Chicken Salad. It is one of the older super cheap mini plastic ones. You can find them for less than $30. Lots of folks like them. The only thing is that the little plastic enclosures are pretty low-fi, and cannot take too much abuse. Lots of nerds rehouse the Chicken Salad in normal metal enclosures with better jacks and true bypass. But if you just need a ghetto quick solution, you can get the little fuckers real cheap. And for occasional use, they can do just fine. The Cool Cat ones are a lot more sturdy and nice though, and have proper bypass in them from the getgo.

Re: Tell me your vibes
yeah I have one of the Chicken Salads, I actually need to do a vibraphone type thing, a la Cold Shot, (cover band thing) and I hear the Rocky Road is good for that. Has a ramp up/down button too.
I've been actually pretty happy with those little Dano things, but haven't got any of the cool cats yet. I will look into one of those.

Re: Tell me your vibes
I have been using the Boss tremolo pedal for a while. The simple one, teal with three knobs. It is one of those pedals that I will cuddle and snuggle so lovingly. So cute with the three knobs... It has a very simple mod (forgot specifics but you basically cut out one capacitor to extend the pedal's range)... Some clips of it in action: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... ID=9094586 < clean guitar pre-chorus http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default ... ID=8585955 < pre chorus and bridge... I guess I like it for pre choruses. Does what you'd expect such a pedal to do, no more and no less. Good enough for me... Edit: Are you referring to a pedal that wobbles the pitch, and not a tremolo?

Re: Tell me your vibes
I'm thinking of a Leslie/Vibraphone type effect. I do heart the tremelo's as well.

Re: Tell me your vibes
Yes, have one of those in my arsenal already sir. And yes it does the spinny thing quite well.

How do you plug a guitar into that, anyway?

Re: Tell me your vibes
You need a goat, 3 medium sized paperclips, and some castor oil. Once you have that, let me know.

Re: Tell me your vibes
The paperclips I have, the oil I can find... Does it have to be a live goat, or will a slab of goat do? I think I can find it at the one MuslimMart.

Re: Tell me your vibes
I've only done it with a live goat. Do you have a Scarifices'R'Us nearby? I know there's one in Geneseo....

Re: Tell me your vibes
There is an adapter for live sheep, if those are more readily available to you.
I also read once you can use a poodle if you tie fake horns to it's head using spider's silk.

Re: Tell me your vibes
Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendations other than to stay away from the Fulltone Dejavibe. 'Tis lame.

Re: Tell me your vibes
Well I ended up with a cheap Rocky Road. fun little box it is. There's a boost when it kicks in but there's a real easy mod for that which I will do when I get some time. I will post clips once I get some more of that time....
so now the pedals are arranged as such, TU-2>OCD>Map then the loop is send>CE-3>Phase90>Carbon Copy>Holy Stain>Rocky Road>return I took the Allums SD1 out for a bit, I 'm just out of room on the board. One of the bands is adding Man in the Box to a set so I will need to fake the talkbox with a wah and I have one of the Morley Mini wahs which should fit if I make some room.
