I like the "Octafuzz" ... technically it's two effects (pitch shifter + fuzz/distortion), but it's usually offered in one stomp box or effect setting.

Does anyone have any youtube examples of various effects?
I used to like Flange, once used by Alex Lifeson a great deal.
Wah wah is not often heard these days but was prevalent in the early '70's. Chorus and echo I used to like too. As for modern pedals, I don't know enough. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Why don't you buy a multi-effects board ... some of them are really affordable, and you can experiment with the various effects and find out which one you like best.

Wasn't there a pedal called a "tube screamer"? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I'm a fan of flanger and phaser, you can make so many weird sounds with them  Delay is also great fun, especially with tremolo picking  I don't really like multi-effects pedals, I used to have one....the affordable ones' quality of each effect ranges from pitiful to decent at best, and the high dollar ones are really high dollar...just my opinion  -------------

Yes, a classic Ibanez pedal ... it's built into most multi effect units, including my Vox Tonelab. A very useful effect for "boosting" your sound during a solo, adding extra distortion and sustain. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

So you think a pedal for 50 EUR will sound better just because it's only implementing one effect?  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I'm going to go with the classic Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi, but the Wah and Uni-vibe are close behind. As for multi effects, bah I like having a maze of cables and a baffling array of knobs and switches (I really should get a modular synth I'd be in heaven) |

| A good distortion is a must. The classic Ibanez one is nice, and there are numerous good distortion pedals by smaller brands around. |

^ when it comes to distortion you should try to get a pedal with a real tube ... like my Ibanez tube king: ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| I'd get a good phaser or a decent chorus if I were buying a new one, considering the type of music I play, and the great distortion I have in my amp. here's what I've been looking to raise money for http://www.voodoolab.com/chorus.htm |

in my opinion the best single effect ever...not a stomp box really, but a unique little effect...an essence of all prog rock effects. And here's an http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1445380315012222385&q=roland+space+echo - example. ------------- |
