I've got my SE Tremonti Custom with Tremonti USA pickups and Mann Made locking tuners.
I've got a PRS USA nut coming.
That goes to
DigiTech DropTune
BOSS tuner
Dunlop crybaby 95Q wah
MXR Distortion+
MXR M234 analog chorus
And that goes into the PRS MT15 Mark Tremonti signature amplifier.
I'm torn with what I want to do with my sound.
Fucking Dunlop/MXR doesn't make a multi-effects unit. That'd be ideal. They should just combine all of their most popular stomp boxes into one multi-effects unit, and leave it at that.
So, on the one hand, I'm thinking about getting a slap back delay, studio quality reverb, 10 band EQ, and a noise gate. Basically continuing the tried-and-true pedalboard setup.
Nobody makes an actual multi-effects unit. It's all processors. You get a variety of stomp boxes to choose from, tweak parameters, drag and drop them into whatever order you want. (You know, because fuckthe logical order of effects.)
They all come with onboard looper stations, auxiliary inputs for jamming, drum loops, and fucking amp modelingshit.
Even the several thousand dollar Kemper modeling amps suck ass. All this digital horseshit sounds like garbage and will never replicate those old tube amps.
And then all these processors come with all these fucking USB computer programs andshit. I don't want all of that added nonsense.
All I want is a wide variety of boost, overdrive, and Distortion pedals to select and tweak, then one good chorus, one slap back delay, and one studio reverb.
I don't need 7500 different wah pedals to choose from.
I don't like Flangers and Phasers
I hate Fuzz
I don't need an octave pedal cause the DigiTech DropTune has it built in.
I don't need loopers and drum machines and internet connectivity and downloadable bull****. I want simplicity. Bare bones basic. I don't need 15 million memory banks. Give me the ability to call up and tweak a few pedals, save those as a handful of presets, and then give me the ability to tweak each effect when it's called up.
Example
Let's say stomp 1 on the unit is boost. Give me a knob for level, and a knob for the amount of dirt it adds. That way, I can have a clean or dirty boost, and save 2-3 presets or, adjust for the current requirements.
Button 2, give me 2-4 overdrive pedals to select from. Let me tweak volume, 3 band EQ, and gain for each stomp box, and save each as a preset, while enabling me to tweak them on the fly.
On button 3, give me 2-3 Rock distortion stomp boxes to choose from and tweak before saving them as presets, and tweak on the fly.
Button 4 can be 1-2 Metal distortions, same as previous
Button 5
Chorus selection
Button 6
Mild slap back delay
Button 7
Reverb
Send that straight into the amp with nothing else on the unit. I have a fantastic Wah pedal. I have a fantabulous Amp. I don't need or want anything else.
Also thinking about getting a 15 watt 2 channel Marshall and another speaker cabinet and then hooking up an A/B/Y switch so I can run the Tremonti amp or the Marshall or both, and then ditching pedals all together. What would you do? What are you running?
Processors are WAY too damned complicated.
And then, I'm looking at Zoom G5n and their other processors...
These processors are complicated enough to confuse and piss off just about any NASA representative.
I wish Dunlop would get their shitTogether, and offer a simple multi-pedal unit.
