Thunderbird Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ok all I have built up a board and I am pretty happy with it atm I have 3 flavors of drive/distortion An Octave pedal Chorus pedal Envelope filter Delay pedal I really only play at home nowadays and I just looking for something that may be fun on my board but have no idea what I want so thought I would ask you guys what fun pedals you have? I have a self imposed budget of max £50 a pedal Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 For about that money you might be able to get a moor lofi machine, or a ehx freeze. Or a feedback loop, causing pedals you own to suddenly be able to selfoscillate is always fun. That or maybe a zoom b1on? Theyre cheep and have lots of options.

Stylon Pilson Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 A looper might be fun, if you're playing solo a lot of the time. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfFrink Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Behringer BSY600 (don't know it for being Behringer - it's one of their best pedals - just make sure to put it into a bypass loop because it's own bypass is crap - lot's of fun) TC Ditto as mentioned above... Prunes & Custard Line-6 M5 for lots of fun effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Digitech bass synth wah or an Electro harmonix bassballs 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The Mooer Pitchbox is super fun! Super digital sounding, cool harmony effects and tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Buy my Zoom B1xon ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrybassbp Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Line 6 m5 is a really great pedal and I'm sure you could pick one up for £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Phaser, reverb , bass whammy , flanger ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonEdward Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Sometimes placing a Tremolo pedal before other pedals (or on it's own with BASS) can be fun? Ring Mod is an effect I've found difficult to love, but the "Vitruvian" from Subdecay sounds crazy-cool! Costs quite a bit more than 50 quid ... unfortunately: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-xXAYUQE8c&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks for the replys chaps I shall be checking your suggestions out on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 hard to tell from your post, but if your 3 flavours of drive doesn't include fuzz, there are lots of fun options there! a nice muff, or something aggressive and gated? an interesting reverb was the first thing I thought of, £50 may be a challenge, but a secondhand reverb from TC like the hall of fame would be a good shout (tone prints give you a lot of fun options). an old guitar model whammy pedal would be a LOT of fun, not sure of the second hand prices, but £50 may be reasonable??

ahpook Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'd be tempted by a small multi-fix. I've just out a Zoom B3 into my board and it works very well. Zoom do that single pedal-sized one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hmmmm quite fancy a bass synth after checking them out on youtube I think that would suit me thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4343 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would say a looper as well. I got the cheapest Ditto at Christmas and have had hours of fun with it. Incorporating reverb into the foundation loops fills out the sound nicely. I picked up a cheapy reverb recently, and really enjoy it, certainly enough to invest in a decent one at some point. I agree with the Digitech bass synth wah, it's hilarious. I will probably never use it in a band, but it's super fun. A pitch shifter could also be creative; octave ups, or add in 5ths? I would like to get one of the Zoom multi effects too. They seem like a really good way to test the concept of a range of new effects cheaply, because even cheap pedals eventually add up in cost...

0175westwood29 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Pitch shifters are always fun! Second to those for me are tremolos If I wanna make something different it almost always the pitchfork, tentacle or Tremorslo Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
