alright, im looking to buy some new pedals, specifically a new distortion, a chorus and a phaser. my current choices based on what ive see are

a) ibanez tube screamer
b) rocktron tsunami chorus
c) either the boss phaser or the mxr phase 100

if you got any recommendation of what i should get it will relly help

Thanks

If you want distortion, then the Tube Screamer probably wont' cut it for you, unless you'll be boosting the lead channel on your amp with it, in which case it would be a great addition to your setup!

Otherwise, for distortion I highly recommend the Rocktron Metal Planet. Cheap, and very awesome!

Or, better yet, buy some kind of multi-effect/modeller if your amp doesn't have decent distortion of it's own. Something like the Floor POD/POD X3 Live or the Boss GT-8 or whatever the current model is

Then the pedals you listed will all work well

Though, if you're able to afford it, I'd take a look at LordOVchaoS's work. People speak highly of his work, and the modded TS7 I've heard (budda's) was awesome.

EHX small stone is king of all phasing.

If you're playing sevens then you'll want a Bloody Murder or modded tubescreamer of some sort from Bodenhamer (our own LordOVchaoS).

Bodenhamer Electronics

I'll also probably be selling my Chaos modded Ibanez TS-7 when my rack Bloody Murder gets here. If you're interested shoot me a PM.

1. get that mesa.
2. boost it with techno's TS7.
3. if you want a chorus, maybe get a used one, ship it to Joe and have him mod it. then tell me how it sounds, as i want one and am just too damn poor :P
4. as for the phaser, i got a buddy in the UK making one right now. he makes fuzzes right now, and the owners of his fuzz at Guitar Resources: The Guitarists Network - Your Online Guitar Community love it! you may want to wait until there's an update on that badboy? or just get the boss, as step function is awesome.

I'm planning on buying one (and a Crybaby and a Bloody Murder) when I've got some spare cash (waiting to see how things pan out financially over the next little bit) so you'll get to play around with them some day

budda · 01-29-2008, 10:29 PM
