Hi guys,
I've got an amp and pedal set up that is very oriented around band-based hard rock:
Les Paul into:
Polytone Tuner
Mooer Yellow Comp Compressor
Klon-clone
into a Friedman Runt, then FX Loop:
MXR Phase 95
DM-2w Delay
Catalinbread Talisman Reverb
If I want to bang out some Whitesnake or Van Halen then I'm in heaven! But, when I'm a bit more chilled out and want to create ambient/droney scenescapes I'm a little lost. I look at all the cool 'crazy' pedals out there from places like Earthquaker and some of them seem super fun, but yet others I can't believe they'd find a use.
Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking of a looper (maybe even a Trio+) but that seems more down the line of GUITAR BASED ROCK than anything else.

Have a read of this post of mine from an old thread (in fact, the rest of the thread will give you loads of suggestions for wacky pedals) ...

The only other thing u really need is probably a looper.
If you are unsure how to swell with your volume knob, check out some Jeff Beck videos. "cause we've ended as lovers" is a good one to learn from.

The Echo has a hold function that I can use as a wash which I record into the looper in whatever key I fancy playing in. Add the trio drum on a slow beat and away you go with your ambient lead lines / paired back chords.
Can sound great if you're in the groove.
Maybe a shimmer verb rather than a freeze specifically? That way it can change pitch?
