Ugh
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youPlus chorus, unless you're Andy Sunmers and it's 1983, in which case, it's fine.
Wasn't Andy Summers more EHX flanger than chorus?
Delay is amazing but overused. It’s my favourite effect but I don’t think I’ve ever used it in a covers band and the blues fusion thing where you buy a £400 just to set it where you can barely even hear it is hilarious.
Similarly POG can be great but that thing that every other guitar record did with +1 octave 50/50 mix around 2007 is just as cliche as chorus+strat position 4 is in the 80s.
Otherwise, I like pretty much everything - if used creatively. Sadly, the vast majority of guitarists I encounter these days either all sound the bloody same, or use effects in cliched ways... or are trying to sound "authentic" in their blooz toanz whilst playing through a Booteek drive pedal, and a Strymon delay into their £2k+ Booteek amp. In a pub. Too loudly. With bad intonation. And overbending those double stops.
But otherwise... I don't 'hate'... :-)
Having said that, I'm probably being a bit unreasonable, because flanging is just the same as phasing and chorus only with more delay, or did I dream that?

And thank you for stating that blues fusion / delay thing. I thought I was the only one who thought that. What's the point of having an effect on your signal if you can't hear it. I'm currently knuckling down and trying to get a DD-3 to work with my covers band as an (mostly) always on / thickener sound that does actually make a difference in a band mix... It's taking some trial and error with the level, feedback and times... you don't get this served to you on a plate... (which I guess can be taken for any effects usage).
It's certainly not just white room and porn.
can't remember who but somebody makes a cheap mini one ........can find them secondhand for about £35
Just nasty.
There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
The one effect that I really really dislike for my own use is compression but it may well work for you. Maybe I’ll think again if I join a funk band!
