What pedals are players using for playing lead blues on a cbg?
Tags:
I reckon I'm more or less in the Wilko Johnson school as regards pedals "Pedals?...I'm not a cyclist".
With a decent small amp you should be able to get enough overdrive at a tolerable volume to give you a nice singing lead tone. I think it's far too easy to depend upon effects to cover up an indifferent playing technique. Sorry if that might sound a bit elitist...but I'm shooting from the hip...I've seen and heard far too many players indulging themselves onstage in oversaturated wankery instead of actually doing something musical and entertaining.
I do occasionally use a Boss Blues Driver or Crowther Hotcake, but more as a boost to lift solos above the band mix, and only if I'm using a single channel amp rather than a two channel switching amp.
Thanks John
That's like asking how many flavors of ice cream there is in the world today. I have a Marshall and a Fender amp. I also have overdrive and distortion pedals because neither amp gives you everything. Then you can add chorus, flange wah, vibe and the like. Each can give you a different voicing and sonic variations. Adding a richness or fullness to your sound. You look at all these pro players. The big guys with recording contracts. They use them.
I don't have a real cigar box guitar. Only the one solid body and the current one I'm still building. They don't have p pickups in them. Can't say how this setup would sound with them.
Vox Big Ben overdrive.
Boss DD-6 delay
TC Electronics Hall of Fame reverb.
Other effects I have and love
Fulltone Deja-vibe
Crybaby wah
MXR Black label chorus
Thank you sir...
Tell you how exactly to do it.
You get a Fender valve amp and put every single knob on 7
you put the volume control on the guitar also to about 7
thats the rhythm sound
then you turn the volume control on the guitar to ten
thats the lead sound
we call this effect
dynamics
if you really wanna hard sound experiment with turning the volume and gain controls on the amp beyond 7, if you wanna 90s metal sound cut the mids right back to 0.
