I just want to hear your opinion and reasoning before I post mine.

Fire away!

nieldan · « **Reply #1 on:** November 09, 2011, 12:50:02 PM »

yes? because its a main part of my tone?

randymarsh · « **Reply #2 on:** November 09, 2011, 12:53:33 PM »

sorry. i think more clarification is needed on the question.

my question is if you'd spend more than 4k. say kung ang boss distortion is just around 3k then that doesn't count. if you are willing to spend 20k say for an acme super mega overdrive pedal (not real

), my question is then "why"?

potential answers could be

- nakita ko si idol yan ang gamit eh
- ganda kasi ng tunog and the price is reasonable

etc...

Hindi, parang masyadong mahal e. I'd put that money on some tubes or speakers or save some more to buy a new amp. But pedals, parang sayang.

Pero kung may 2nd hand bargain on a pedal that costs more than 4k brand new, why not?!?!

yes if it stands out unique among other dirts and if it's got the right tonal qualities I'm seeking for in years

Yes. Nung nagsisimula ako hesitant ako, pero nung nagtagal, napag-iipunan din pala. I'd spend 4k and above on either an OD or Dist if it can deliver what I want to hear. Ako din naman ang gagamit so I don't want to settle for less na hindi madedeliver yung gusto ko.

If I have a real good tube amp, I probably won't be spending a lot on dirt pedals.

lol i just realized i have never spent less than 6K on a drive pedal ever since i started going out of the boss, line 6 and digitech phase.

so yes, my taste in drive pedal is currently pegged in the $180 area now... i still do hunt for bargains, but none of those typical stuff.

NO, id rather save my money then buy a good amp.

redjaztin · « **Reply #10 on:** November 09, 2011, 02:06:45 PM »

Yes. If my tone needs persist....huh ano daw??

cayle · « **Reply #11 on:** November 09, 2011, 02:40:32 PM »

I would spend more than 4k for an overdrive, actually I've spent more than that for OD pedals. Maybe up to 20k pwede pa kung sobrang ganda talaga ng tunog, pero more than that, probably no. Probably.

DiMarzSiao · « **Reply #12 on:** November 09, 2011, 02:48:40 PM »

why not, kung meron akong extra 4K++ na walang paglalaanan, then I would spend it on that pedal.

Any guitarist playing rock/punk/metal etc should always invest on a good drive pedal, no to mention that is their main tone. After all, you wouldn't like to sound bad in the stage in front of many people, right? And I should warn you, some of them are sound critics.

jefisipbata · « **Reply #15 on:** November 09, 2011, 03:19:59 PM »

finally found the drive sound i'm looking for, it costs $230 though. this will be the most expensive pedal i'll be buying.

Tasty · « **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2011, 03:22:29 PM »

No. There are a lot of decent ones that cost less.

Edit: But I probably won't spend on anything that costs less than 2k either.

Silaw · « **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2011, 03:25:08 PM »

i did get myself two drive pedals; one in the sub-4k category (an MV Shredhead), and one in the above-4k category (a Lovepedal Eternity Burst).

both of those pedals, standing alone or chained together, give me the type of tone i was gunning for, and so my purchases are entirely justified.

same here. nung una laging nasa 1.8k MAX na yun budget ko para sa dirt, pero habang patagal ng patagal may ka nang hinahabol na tunog na hindi kaya palabasin ng lower priced dirt pedals. pero id limit myself sa 11000php mark for a dirt pedal, pag sumobra pa dun id rather save up for a super amp haha

yes. basta reasonable at hindi mabubutas ang wallet ko.

true haha. bago ako lage gumastos sinisigurado ko muna na may natitira pa ko pera or may binebenta akong item para atleast may return of investment haha

gradual nothing · « **Reply #21 on:** November 09, 2011, 04:34:45 PM »

yes.. i 've bought an 8k od and a distortion worth 18k

cumbersome · « **Reply #22 on:** November 09, 2011, 04:47:55 PM »

Yes. It's interesting to note though that there are many dist/OD pedals that can be had for a little more money on top of your 4k, and they are a huge improvement over your typical Boss pedal, IMO. Some Barber and MI Audio stuff can be had for 5-7K, even cheaper when bought used. It really all depends on the tone in your head and the money in your pocket.

curiousdcat · « **Reply #23 on:** November 09, 2011, 04:54:20 PM »

If the pedal sounded really good, no stand alone amp at the same price could get the kind of drive the pedal gave and, most importantly, if I had the money to buy the pedal, why not?

Poundcake · « **Reply #24 on:** November 09, 2011, 04:58:46 PM »

Obviously, yes. Modern pedal designs are so good now that mid-tier to upper-tier boutique drive pedals offer a plethora of good tones at a fraction of the price of guitar amps.
