Title: Would You Spend More Than Php 4k for a Distortion or OD Pedal?
Post by: randymarsh on November 09, 2011, 12:48:57 PM
I just want to hear your opinion and reasoning before I post mine.
Fire away! :-D

Post by: randymarsh 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 :D), 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?!?! :wink:

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.

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. :lol:

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.

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 :-D

Post by: cumbersome 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.

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? :wink:

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

Why the assumption that tone is all about price? That's a very bad way to think about tone. When evaluating gear, you evaluate it for what it is and not through its price tag.
I particularly like this post from one of my favorite bloggers.
Ito yung first paragraph:
I just realized that the two amps I currently use are pretty much as far apart on the boutique/coolness/pricey spectrum as they come: Matchless and Epiphone Valve Junior. This makes me happy. It means that it’s about what sounds good for a particular application, not about compensating for insecurities in life with high-priced boutique gear, or conversely, about compensating for having no cash by telling yourself that price doesn’t matter. Those two amps sitting side by side really exemplifies my mantra: ‘Tone is not about price. But sometimes it is.’
Rest of article here - http://www.guitarforworship.com/?p=4178
Good read.
If you must know about my current personal experience.. The drive I've pretty much settled on cost me a lot. But I like how one my friends put it (he was one of the guys who recommended it to me) - It's a funny feeling because we've all had the bad experience of spending so much money on different hyped up pedals and then being let down. You'll feel burned and ripped off. But then, one day you spend a lot once more on a pedal and it just lives up and even exceeds your expectations. It's a very good feeling. Price? More than most care to spend :-) (~400) but for me, it's totally worth it. In fact, I immediately went out and bought another pedal in the line a week after.. it was that good. I'm even in talks for a third one, if finances permit over the holidays. And yes, I think I've tried out and owned a lot of the expensive and hyped dirt pedals out there. These are just on a different level. Having good gear allows me to enjoy my guitar playing more. Feeling great with my most favoritest hobby is a feeling I'm willing to spend for. Heck, there are lots of bad ways to waste your money - gambling, vices, etc. At least dito, productive and fulfilling ( & income-generating for some) yung pinupuntahan.
For some - and this is an interesting observation for me - buying "boutique gear" made by true modern-day artisans (just look at the ace luthiers, amp builders, pedal makers today) is a way of patronizing art. It sounds outlandish at first.. but when you think of it, I think it's a unique appeal of high-priced gear. Kind of fits in with the "one man building amazing gear for a select few" mentality of boutique gear (think of all those high-priced luthiers, PaulC at making Tims, etc). And when you see these instruments.. you'll really see the effort put into them (think Malinoski, etc).

Yup, but not more than 10k, kung meron yes, pero assess ko rin kung babagay yung pedal na yun sa ibang gear ko, hindi lang kana ng kana tapos benta, sabay sasabihin panget yung pedal, or kung anu man. Or parang dating na kabisadong kabisado na yung pedal, iniisip ko nga, minsan sa tagal na ng pedals s'kin meron pa rin akong nadidiscover na bago everytime na ginagamit ko, hehe

because it really is about the price in the sense that MOST (depending on your taste) good drive pedals are above 4K pesos.
but if you set the ceiling at say 15K, then yes, the law of diminishing returns kick in and chances are, you would prefer your 15K drive pedal over that 30K super pedal.
some people though, are very happy with their Boss DS1 ... as long as its driving a JCM 800 or something, hehe... ganun pa rin.

I bought a 8.5k worth of distortion pedal about 6 years ago. It's good for recordings and only a number of amps. Im not gona buy anything expensive in terms of distortion pedal ever again. Because how good and expensive the pedal is, it wont sound good if the amps in bars are bad. So my answer is no.

Exactly. You can choose to not buy "cheap" pedals and wait until you raise 200k or make do with what you can afford now and start playing.
Personally, I don't care about getting >200k amps because I won't be able to take them to gigs with me. Chances are I'll be plugging into an amp that's significantly cheaper and of a much lower quality every time I play outside the room. This is why I switched to a multi with good amp and cab models.

Did spend more than 4k already for a couple of drive pedals, but I won't do it again. In my opinion, all drive pedals offer the same sound (no matter what color or tonality it is). Drive is drive, and most pedals in the below 4k range can do almost 80% of the tones offered by its pricier counterparts, so why spend? I dunno, but I don't think the audience will be able to appreciate such small nuances from your tone. If you want a lot of options, then I'd choose the distortion modeler route / multi fx - more bang for your buck.

Primarily I dont care what others think(i just respect them)...its my money, my decision what gear will make me happy or will satify my needs or wants. Any thumbs up or down from my friends are just their opinion, even if they have the golden ears or most of them hears at a "jeepney" standards. Sharing personal insights on pedals are really helpful, but still I have to filter which are rational and b.s. reviews. Had a small share of 3.5k worth OD and those 10k ups...there are dogs in the 10k up but there are more of it on the sub 4k range.

yes. most of the Tubescreamer type pedal are above 4k in price. and i really love tubescreamer type pedal. basta OD willing ako above 44k, but for distortion pedals? i don't think so.hehehe.
4k above, but 10k above? no. for delay pwede pa.. but for drive pedals na 10k, hindi.

I don't think it's about what the audience hears.. It's about what you hear. That's what matters for me.
They may not consciously qualify differences. But I'm pretty sure good tone will somehow affect the way they appreciate the whole song, kahit unconsciously.
I don't buy gear for them. I buy them for me.

hmm, i'd still flip a 200K amp when i am bored... just so i could get another 200K amp

Dati, 2k would be enough for me. Pero there came a time I bought something for around 4k. Then I noticed a drastic difference in build and sound quality. Pero pero, before I buy those pedals that cost more than 4k (usually around 6-9k), I do extensive research first. I try to contact people with first hand expeirences with these pedals. More often than not, oorderin pa ang mga pedals na ito from online shops through our trusty shippers.
Never settle for less. Pero make sure na you do your research before buying that pedal.

Oo naman, I can't afford a 200K amp but I can afford a pedal that sounded near the 200K amp. Syempre mag iipon muna ako. Basta malapit lang ang tunog nung pedal sa boutique amp ok na sa akin. Exponential na kasi ang price increase for a meager tone improvement on those expensive amps. I believe that those sounds can be copied by combinations of electronic components in the hands of wizards like Wampler, Ed Rembold or the maker of Emmas. There are good sounding pedals that don't copy sounds of boutique amps, but they have characters of their own and they too have their followings.

well, an OD is an essential part of any guitarist's arsenal so for me it doesn't make sense cutting corners on 'em. you can have a minimalist setup with just an OD, a tuner and maybe some delay or reverb. everything else is coloring na.
and there are lots of great pedals within the 8-10k range..

YES if I can buy the original/reissue TS at that price, NO if I can't.

Yup, as long as the pedal is worth it. Already did that at least 2-3 times already. I can skimp on the delay, modulation and other pedals.. but a dirt pedal will comprise at least 50% of your tone, at least that's what I believe. Nag-invest ako sa maayos na guitar and amp; I'm not ruining my signal chain with a sub-standard dirt pedal.
I used to say that I'd never spend more than 3-4k on a distortion pedal... but then I tried 7k-ish pedals. Kinain ko yung sinabi ko. :lol:

This. I play guitar to express my musical thoughts, and part of these thoughts is the tone with which they sound like. To express these thoughts satisfyingly, my tone has to be as close as possible to the ideal tone in my head--the audience noticing improvements in my tone when I use expensive pedals isn't a deciding factor in choosing my overdrive/distortion.
*End rant*
Whew. Anyway. Yes, I'd spend more than 4k on an overdrive/distortion if it had my holy grail of tone. And I've briefly considered a few candidate pedals, though I've held back from buying one of them because I'm afraid they might take me away from that holy grail. So I'm settling for a Shredhead until I get the opportunity (How, I wonder? :-D) to test those candidates in person through my rig.

Did spend more than 4k already for a couple of drive pedals, but I won't do it again. In my opinion, all drive pedals offer the same sound (no matter what color or tonality it is). Drive is drive, and most pedals in the below 4k range can do almost 80% of the tones offered by its pricier counterparts, so why spend? I dunno, but I don't think the audience will be able to appreciate such small nuances from your tone. If you want a lot of options, then I'd choose the distortion modeler route / multi fx - more bang for your buck.
I agree here
Hindi sa kuripot ako or less fortunate ako hehe. I agree at least 80% pede naman makuha, kahit nga simpleng TS clone plugged sa Pathfinder 15 using with good fingers
Peace mga bro

Agree with this,and the good news is that if you're studying some electronics,some of the better 'dirt' circuits are already circulating the internet,along with mods to further fine-tune it to your liking. After all,producing dirt sounds typically involve more or less the same blocks,whether one uses IC's,fets,clipping diodes,etc. Only a few out there that get creative,but nothing ground-breaking IMO in terms of variation from the tones we're used to hearing through the years.
I feel if I'm not happy with the drive sound,i should make that jump to a better amp. Pedals are a good and fun diversion though. But i wouldn't spend that much for the flavor of the month dirt box. A good delay or modulation otoh... Maybe.

pero kung talagang meron at wow ang application at features, i might change my mind. but right now, i found the gain box that serves me well in gigs, whether if i bring my own amp or not---it gives me the tone i need every single time. and it costs below 10k.

Post by: edgie on February 26, 2012, 05:45:27 PM
I'm in the yes camp. Reason being is that for me, among the different types of pedals, dirt boxes are the most important and most crucial for electric guitar playing. Para kasi sa akin, hindi lang sound yung basehan kundi yung response ng pedal lalo kung volume pot rider yung player specially those who are into blues/blues-rock/classic rock. Usually naman, yun ang target market ng mga boutique companies. So I guess depende sa tugtugan.
I saw a lot of replies that they'd rather save up for an amp if the expenses would be beyond 4k. Matagal nako wala jan sa Pinas(pauwi-uwi na lang) pero dati natatandaan ko, most nung mga kilala ko na gigging musicians, backline amps lang ang nagagamit nila. I would want to enjoy my tone at all volumes hindi lang pag naka-crank yung amp.
May nagsabi rin na bibili na lang sila ng tubes. In my experience when I had my THD Flexi 50 Head, minimal lang ang changes na kayang i-offer ng tubes sa sound, believe it or not. For those who are not familiar with that amp, it can accept most types of tubes for power and preamps so medyo nagexperiment din ako. On my 3rd set of tubes, narealize ko na nagbabago lang ng konti yung feel but the sound still remains bascially the same kasi nga same cicruit pa rin naman. Meron lang konting higpit sa bass, etc. na kaya naman habulin sa EQ. Honestly, kung nasa bahay ka lang and you don't play above vacuum-cleaner levels of decibels, hindi mo maappreciate ng husto yung value ng power tubes. And that is kung designed pa yung tube amp mo na magbreak ng maaga. Pano na lang kung 100w pa yung amp mo?

Is there a finality to the yes and no here? Because I've foolishly said never to quite a few things these past ten or so years of picking gear. I can mention this right at the top of my head:
1. In 1998, I got my first Strat, and thought to myself I'll never go back to humbuckers. Now, all but one of my electrics have humbuckers on them.
2. Around 2004, I said I'll NEVER buy a tube amp because I didn't believe it had anything to offer that my Valvestate back then could not. Fast forward to 2012 -- I own a Vox AC30CC1 and dream of a Marshall JVM210C.
3. Around 2005, I told my friends how I hated Boss pedals. I thought they were overpriced (hindi pa uso dito yung boutique pedals at the time). My personal goal was to never have one on my pedalboard. Fast forward to 2012 -- I have three on my board, another one as a backup and I'm set to buy another one this week.
4. In 2009, I got my Vox. I SERIOUSLY doubted ever going back to digital multi-effects again and started planning my ugprade path towards boutique pedals. Right now, my board has an Adrenalinn and a Line 6 M9.
Of course, many of you will say that you guys are in different situations than me. And maybe you're right. But all I'm saying is that whether you like it or not today, things do change in time.
