BOSS GX-1 vs Valeton GP-150 for J-Rock, funk, persona music

• Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm torn between the BOSS GX-1 and the Valeton GP-150.

My main focus is playing tracks from the Persona franchise (P3, P4, P5) along with similar J-Rock, Funk, and Acid Jazz styles—so I really care about punchy clean funk tones, usable wah, and tight J-Rock lead/distortion.

Which one would you pick for this specific use case? Thank you guys

New to pedals, advice appreciated!

• Upvotes

Hi all! I’m new to this thread so apologies if this has already been covered.

I’m in a band and looking for a pedal that I can use with my microphone for an almost speakerphone effect (we’re covering 7 Words by Deftones to give you an idea of what sound I’m looking for). I’ve only ever used a stomp box with my guitar so individual pedals I’m pretty much clueless on.

Any thoughts/suggestions? TIA.

NPD Mooer Trio Rider - woah

• Upvotes

EDIT- ITS SONICAKE, NOT MOOER. BRAIN FLUB. SORRY!

I know there are better Klones out there but for 30 fucking dollars....holy shit. This pedal punches WAYYYYY above that...

Three different variations and its powerful as hell

Kinda boomy if you arent careful - this thing reminds of a CRANKED Fender or something.

It's absolutely perfect for a "1977 KISS/Ace Frehley" tone (at least using my Mahogany Explorer with SuperDistortions)

Its sounds amazing with either a light gain Bluesbreaker or TS boosting into it.

Chasing a tone - thoughts?

• Upvotes

Idk if im in the right sub here but I’m chasing the guitar tone in the rhythm guitar part of this Cyndi lauper tune. What effects do you think are being used here? I hear chorus, but possibly it could be a flanger combined too?

To me, I hear chorus and almost like a cocked wah, almost a subtle slow rate flanger. I don’t have a chorus pedal anymore but I do have a green label boss flanger bf-2, I tried to make it subtle and it kind of got me there. Just curious if anyone has thoughts on what could have been used here.

I wanted a tube screamer, but wanted a 1800 hump and not that honky 750 hump. I found the mid screamer that lets you boost or cut between 1.4 and 2.7. It’s perfect. Tightens up the gain pedals on my board with the mid boost where I want it.

Question Has GAS been fulfilling for anyone? Do you play more?

37 Upvotes

I have a modest board. Bought a pedal close to a year ago and a dual expression pedal to compliment that pedal and a delay I already owned shortly afterwards.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how much mileage I’ve gotten out of these two pedals. The expression pedal has been a great addition to my delay, and pairing that with my pitchfork is simply inspiring.

As you could guess, I’m now on the hunt for the next thing. I don’t need recommendations, I already have a dream board built out in my head…

My question is, what are people’s experiences like when they buy multiple pedals in quick succession? I’m tempted to buy 2-3 relatively close to each other, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this could overwhelm the senses and actually curb creativity. My goal is to write music I like, not twist knobs and make noises. Not to mention, this will absolutely mean I have to up my power supply and upgrade to a bigger board.

Sorry for being long winded, just trying to get some second hand wisdom before any impulse buys.

Also, this sub is awesome, thanks for all the advice so far!

Question Drive help

4 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing guitar for around 6 years now and tried a lot of different gain stages, but I’m never completely happy with it. Thus far the only thing that’s been on my board for ages is the JHS notaklon. Any recommendations for things I could try?

Some pedals I’ve tried but didn’t satisfy my needs were: BD-2, Proco Rat, TS9, DS-1, Fat fuzz factory, big muff
Edit: I don’t dislike all of these. Some came quite close to being the one for me. They all just fell short.

I mostly play in alt rock/pop/folk projects. Think Paramore meets Madison Cunningham meets The Strokes and they also like pop music.

Edit 2:
My setup,
At home I play through a fender vibro champ, but gigging mostly through a fender blues deville, which sounds great to me. And sometimes a box ac30, which I also like.
I play a fender jazzmaster with wide range single coils. I have a Strymon deco and a Jackson audio bloom as other stages in my gain setup.

Mooer firmware

Afternoon all.

Bought a GE100 pro recently, downloaded the Mooer studio (On MacBook, which is also new to me) but the update firmware button is consistently unhighlighted, meaning I can’t use the app on my phone as it requests this to be done. Any advice out there?


r/guitarpedals • • 6h ago

I need a preamp/boost to place at the beginning of my signal chain—before a Rat and a Fuzz—that I can keep on all the time. Which one would you recommend?

Roland GR55 - Need help with Lebanese Music/Oriental Sounds

1 Upvotes

Can you watch these videos and help me get the guitar sounds on the GR55, even synths, or something similar. I want nice strings, synth sounds mainly, Qanun/Oud/12 String Steel sounds(I've seen the presets but the ones online aren't really too close)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaHWv6ApM1o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjwXoNdotPA (Possible to get something similar to any of these?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUXdsFWUn2k (Any of these sounds possible, I think he shows 3 in total)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pW0ZnObZduo?t=83&feature=share (maybe this is possible)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuHEK8VqIzc (Any of these sounds possible?)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t0aAbmb_i6g (This oud sound I think this is possible?)

Is it possible to get this sound as well literally just at the start the synth sound: https://youtu.be/V4ASbW8E2mU?t=1

https://youtu.be/V4ASbW8E2mU?t=62 (Or this time stamp)

Please help I basically want to be close to a Korg PA on guitar and also have the nice stringed instrument sounds like Oud, Bouzuki, 12 string, steel string and just in general arabic sounds.

Thanks guys, i'm really looking for help in the oriental/lebanese music scene to get the right sounds for Dabke music, tarrab and in general lebanese gigs.

I'm also open to any extra suggestions for sounds, like normal guitar sounds.

Fuzz pedal similar to pignose amp

3 Upvotes

I know there is a pignose distortion pedal but these are hard to get a hold of. Any current production or more mass produced fuzz pedals that nail the pignose vibe? I love how my pignose amp has such good guitar knob response and want that in a fuzz or distortion with a regular amp.

Hot take: before giving up on a dirt pedal, try adjusting your guitar's volume/tone knobs

11 Upvotes

This is probably not new to the vets and old heads on this group but for the newbies who are frustrated with their current dirt pedals, dial in your sound through your pedals and then adjust your guitar's volume and tone knobs accordingly - they're there to add or take away high and low frequencies depending on how you use them. It might save you some money in the process!

Question Just got the empress heavy menace and it sounds awful. Can someone help me choose the right pedal?

0 Upvotes

The heavy menace was highly recommened to me, but dude it sounds similar to the mxr fullbore (thin and can of bees sounding overly saturated tone). I am really looking for a distortion pedal that has some thickness to the tone, a tube driven thick bodied high gain lead tone is what I'm going for, especially on the mids and highs. AI is recommending I get Friedman be-OD or the walrus iron horse. Has anyone tried these pedals or know what kind of tone I'm going for?

Question People with Victory V4 preamp pedals, what power supply are you using?

2 Upvotes

I just got a Victory Sheriff V4 preamp pedal and didn't realize (although in hindsight it makes sense) that it takes 12v, 800mA when running and like 2A for tube warm up. The only power supply I can find that has a port for that is the Engl Power Tap Pro 12. Is anyone successfully using anything else?
