I can relate! Haha XD Parehas tayo ng situation. Sa amp na gamit, GAS sa reverb, at sa pangarap mag Ambient volume swells.
Ang gamit ko lang ngayon, overdrive, digital delay (pareho Behringer) saka volume pedal na proel (hiram lang). Tyaga lang sa timpla timpla.
Tatlo lang din gamit ko ngayong pedals, I have 2 ODs on my board and a delay. Yup tiyagaan nga lang, I tried doing swells with my DD3 and volume knob. I setup my DD3 to about 2 o'clock sa feedback, about 2 din sa delay time then 10 lang sa level. I somehow managed to create ambient swells kaso chambahan lang sakin kasi kailangan accurate yung pagpihit sa volume knob ng guitar (I used my strat copy that time). I didn't continue doing that playing style kasi di ako natutuwa sa nagagawa kong sounds
, saka nakakangawit sa picking hand, iba pa rin siguro talaga pag may volume ped.
Anong amp mo? Yung effectivity naman ng isang player di lang sa amp nakabase ( space, acoustics, crowd kung puno yung place ) theres alot of things to consider. Pero tama yan, invest first on a descent amp.
I'm using a Peavey Rage 258 SS amp. Thanks sir for the tip. But ang mindset ko po ngayon is kumpletohin ko na lang muna yung board ko since mahirap po maka-ipon ng pang GAS, I'm still a student pa lang po kasi. Though I'm not in a rush naman po so I will still consider the possibility of buying a better amp instead.
Anyway, napa-isip lang po kasi ako dahil din sa tip niyo. Mas mararamdaman po ba yung ambient sounds from volume swells if you run your amps in stereo? Will it be a waste of effort to do swells in mono, unmiced?
Yup I think yung clarity kasi ng tone mo nasa amp talaga, so when you purchased a good guitar, then get a decent amp. Regarding naman sa mga ambient stuff, delay and reverb is a must. But for me mas ok na kumuha ng Delay muna kesa reverb and Volume Pedal. For the meantime pwede mo naman gamitin muna Guitar volume mo for swelling. Get a Delay pedal na may tap tempo and different modes, mas versatile mas ok. Then kapag ok na yun you can go for Volume pedal then Reverb. Swak sa budget yung RV-5 or Hall of Fame.
Thanks for the advice po. I'm also thinking about getting a Zoom CDR? Will you recommend it? Naisip ko po kasi makakasulit ako kasi reverbs, delay and other mods andun na, plus pwede pa ko mag save ng patches storing my desired "pedal chain".
meron ding sweller pedals like the Mooer Slow Engine and the boss slow gear! i used to have a behringer copy just for swells
OK po thanks for the suggestions! I'm gonna check those pedals out
