Favourite effects for electrics.
Just for fun, and we've probably done this before, but what are your favourite effects to use with your electric? If you have a multi-fx unit, what pre-sets do you use? If you have pedals, what are they?
I'll start:
Although on guitar, I'll use a lot of stuff, I like my mandolin less effeced. But...
I'll use a compressor - a Mooer Yellow comp, which is apparently a copy of an optical compressor (which gives a nice smooth compression)
an EHX soul food overdrive - very transparent - a nice crunch when needed
An analogue delay - usually set like a slapback - very short three or four repeats.
A touch of reverb - through the amp, otherwise a TC Hall of Fame.
A cry baby wah - but you have to be mindful of the sweep.
I don't like choruses, or harmonisers or phasers or flangers on my mandolin (on my guitar? Love them, thanks for asking)
Your turn - what do you use? No wrong answers, no judgement, just tell us about your sounds.
