Flange in "Rocket Queen" by Guns N Roses - on the voice.

I saw the banshees some years ago - for most ofthe set the guitars were flanged so heavily that they sounded like police sirens. It was GRATE. Cosey Fanni Tutti from throbbing gristle & her guitar that is so heavily flanged that it sounds like a railway train passing thru a tunnel r0x0r3d as well. Phlanger = OK by me.

The Boss BS0 'SUCK' Pedal...

psychedelic is a synonym for SHIT

I want this on a clever t-shirt. Kate do i have yer permission?

There are just certain sounds that are inexcusable. I'm with Dave q on the digital distortion thing - but surely the wurst is every 90s pop-punk guitar sound ever?!?

when I was young and naive I bought a DOD 60's fuzz pedal (made in 1990). I thought I could channel the super fuzz sounds of 60's beat combos through one miraculous pedal. My doorbell has a better fuzztone.

one year passes...

s: delay; i've only used the white boss digital delay so far but it sounds lovely; i expect there are even nicer (cleaner? whatever) sounding delays to be discoverd.

d: oh yes flange and um the overdrive pedal my friend has i don't like ('rocktron blackjack' or something; he says it's really good but i couldn't get to sound too good when i ws just pfaffin about with it then).

haha, my response is just as i predicted upthread...

Boss - Super Feedbacker/Distortion pedal

i recently used this piece again just to justify it's complete utter crapness.

it's a pedal that if you hold the pedal down it's supposed to emit a wail of feedback in the note that is playing when deployed. sounds awesome (to a 17 year old), right?

wrong, what is emitted is a paperthin, dying-kitten-melp of plastic-cheese-sound so weak and feeble that you were left wondering if your guitar instantly turned into baby's first keyboard with dying batteries.
