as much as i love it, no, you cant use it by its own. well you can, but on with your amp cranked; and it sounds fucking droney. But its pretty low noise, theres like no hum... turned on after my 3 disortions it takes out all the noise. it can be quite cool sometimes.

Lots and lots of delay.

kinda like a crazier blue box, and can make video-gamey explosions

definitely delay, with feedback cranked. electro harmonix deluxe memory man is a great analog delay that you could blow speakers with when it self-oscillates

also the electro harmonix poly chorus - it has a feedback knob that you can use on any setting to get pretty crazy

Death by audio pedals, as well.

delay...
cheap digitech delay pedal. i make loops and then change the speed. play around with distortion pedals.
to get a cool wind/sci fi vacum cleaner sound-lots of reverb- wah- distortion (check out my bands song cold words.)
but live the best noise is by simply physically attacking my amp with a guitar. it does wonders....

SugarMountain 11.17.2007 08:09 AM

really like the female singer in your band fugazifan, reminds me of someone but i cant put my finger on it, Ill add you up right away from my bands account

atsonicpark 11.17.2007 08:17 AM

so uh.. what's the most effects pedals anyone on here has ever chained together and turned on at the same time ?

SugarMountain 11.17.2007 08:18 AM

thanks:cool:
the comparisons that we have heard to her voice are pj harvey and portishead.
i dnont listen to either band to know if they are right or not.
but thanks.
i believe that i have played with 6 pedals at once. not sure how impressive that is though...

i use a holy grail at the minute, with lots of gain and the pedals maxed out you can make some horrible noises but im looking for something for complete chaos, totally un-practical un listenable noise and i figure someone here will know the best way to do this


put a contact mic on a bit of old metal and your amp on full volume then hit the metal with another bit of metal, thats good noise.

loopers are more fun than delays, if you get like a loop, 2 crazy fuzzes, a delay and an ebow you should be able to get really cool shit.

yeah i know, but loopers cost a lot of money, and i dont have any....
someday....

king_buzzo 11.17.2007 12:22 PM

yeah, i'd like a looper...

mmm does a korg Kaoss mini pad have looping?

SugarMountain 11.17.2007 01:13 PM

PJ Harvey might be it, bit of Patti maybe aswell
i dunno, either way i liked it

i second this entirely

once my friend plugged up my phase shifter, delay, grunge, wah pedals to his reverb, delay (shitty one), some metal distortion pedal and a few other things i don't remember. it was about 12 pedals in all, and then we looped it on my other delay pedal, turned everything on all the way up, including the amp, and it was undescribable. we blew the amp though, only lasted about 30 seconds. still, it was pretty awesome, but totally undecipherable.

mine was 5 plus a multi running seven effects.

I notice though it like running only two pedals at most and relying on my guitar skills to make real noise.

I'm glad the Holy Grail is getting appreciated.

Maybe 12.

I'm sure in the future I'll beat that number.
