?? For a new Electric Player

Unread post by olkskoolpik » Wed Jun 11, 2003 8:03 am

whats up guys im going tomorrow to make the last payment on my Elite Les Paul Standard(cherry burst if anyone cares), I also just got a used Fender Deluxe 90 DSP 90W amp. I have about $275 still saved after these purchases and Im wondering what kind of electric gear I should get with this $. What Effects pedals will I use most often, and what brand are the best to get. I really want to learn like Incubus, and Rage, 311, stuff like that. What accessories should I get otherwise, I really need some help, thanks.

First off, you may need some distortion if you don't have any on your amp. I picked up a Boss DS-1 that isn't too shabby, but I don't really know a lot about those. It was around $40. Next, 311 and Incubus both have a lot of psychedelic sounds that they get from their guitarists cool pedals. I have an MXR Phase 90 pedal which is one of the coolest pedals I've ever used. Both guitarists use those, and they sell for around $100 with the power supply. After that, you may want to buy a decent delay pedal, don't know a lot about those either besides that Einziger uses a Boss DD-5 I think, but they don't make those anymore. A DD-6 might do the trick, or a cheaper DD-3.

just look at getting a multi effects board....they should have almost everything and you can prgram them to use what you want...

then you know what you want if you feel that you want to venture into it so more...

jsut an idea

if you want to play some rage solos you are going to need a tremelo pedal, he uses it in.... every solo. Pretty easy to make sound good and different from other players.
