With the great number of different guitarists here, I want to hear from a bunch of different people what their favorite effects are. I know that this is vague, and that there are a great number of different categories and types of effects out there, but I just want to hear everyone's opinion, from pedal effects to rack modules to multi-effects boards. It might help to do something along the lines of "envelope filter - Doctor Q" (that's one of my favorites, just because it sounds funky and you can buy one for $40) to clarify things. But yeah, there are so many people here, I'd love to get a bunch of opinions on effects under one topic. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Never bothered much with getting pedals or multifx'es in the past, but i recently got a gt-8.. so i suspect i will start experimenting a bit You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Oh, forgot to mention: In my rack i've got a Korg SDD-1200 (which is older than time itself), it's supposed to be a delay unit.. but what it does best is give some really unusual siren-sort of sounds. Still havent found any real usage for it, but it's fun to fool around with You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I disagreed but I really didn't know what say, so if we consider distortion an effect it's allways the best one But now seriously, I like delays for solos but I like also a good compresor/limiter or some reverb You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't have any outboard effects yet. My amp has some of the basics built in...flange, phase, chorus, delay and reverb, etc. I pretty much keep them turned off. I find that the more options I have to fiddle around with sounds, the more time I spend fiddling with them and less time practicing the guitar. I'm a fan of messed up over distorted crap. I can't help it. Something like Cobain's running a SansAmp into a DS-1 into the amp. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
