What do these effects do?
Chorus
Equalizer
Synth

__________________

You spelt n00b wrong.

chorus is kinda like a rate effect i think, makes it sound a little funky.
an equaliser is a piece of equipment which changes guitar fx such as the ones youve named
synth im not of

Chorus makes it sound like theres more guitars playing in your signal, but its just your sound like some odd times over depending upon how much you use.
Equalization, or EQ, is not really an effect but a tone shaping device, it controls what bands frequencies or pitchs you cut and boost. Synth is neat thing that changes the sound of the instrument to violins, pianos, and keyboards. although all have their uses, i like my signal really dry. no reverb, just distortion from the amp and my 31 band eq.

__________________

chorus is rad... it's like a really fast dealy(sometimes so fast the dealy isnt audible) but the "delayed" signal is played back partly out of tune... so it sounds like two guitars... really cool stuff....
like they said eq is just something to shape your sound with... alot of times it's as simple as bass, mid, & treble...

i'm not sure if you mean like a synth keyboard or pedal for guitar or what.... but it's pretty much for synthetic sounds...

chorus is great for when you are playing clean, but i am getting to the point where effects just get in the way, all i really need is distortion.

that was ignorant...

i have a chorus pedal and i have used it for a whomping 0 parts for my songs. if you want to sound like kurt cobain, chorus away. but it has no place in metal.

other than chuck, who used it in his leads, and i hate the way it always sounds anyways


you are ignorant, dumbass

transient, quit being a shitcock. tone is completely subjective and if people want to use 600 million different effects let them. wait! stop being and asshole and giving other people shit for no reason!

ha... maybe because you don't know how to use one... i play all sorts of heavy shit and i find my self using alot of fx in my material including chorus.

i'm not ignorant because i KNOW what i'm talking about and can prove my points... you're just saying shit like you know what you're talking about... chorus being "absolutly useless??? my ass... it's one of the most usuable fx ever made in my opinion as well as thousands, hell, maybe even millions of other guitarists. you can just use it for a suble smooth chorus to add texture to your cleans or you can make creepy melodies with heavy settings & mega distortion. ect...
like every other effect, it has it's place. metal is easily one place you can put it...

you sissies can fuck up your signal with all sorts of little gadgets and doo dads but ill stick with my sound. chorus sounds decent for some jazz, but overall it blows

and never once did i say "all effects suck"


and bls, shove it

i never said i use effects. im not particularly partial to them. but if other people do, its their choice, and im not about to give them shit about their tone, because unless hes in a band with me, i could give two shits about their stuff.

__________________

we never said you had to do anything... but to say what you said... well, it's ignorant.

i don't get how my intellifex "fucks up" my signal.... it's in my fx loop, when i'm not using fx, it's like it's not there. you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between my signal with or without a bypassed intellifex in the fx loop.
hell, i bet you wouldnt be able to hear much of a difference between a signal with or without a big pedal board with over half a dozen pedals in front of your amp.... because the signal loss would be barely audible.


no it doesnt "overall blow".... i've gone through this.... me and tons of other guitarist use chorus for all sorts of music. and it sounds great. whether i'm playing jazzy stuff or grindcore, it can work...

EFFECTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PERSON USING THEM!
your being a moron doesnt mean chorus is bad at all.


how can chorus be any worse than say... a flanger, wah, envelope filter,delay,reverb,phaser,ect????
the point of effects is that they "effect" your sound. if you don't like chorus then don't use it in your own rig... but don't be a complete fucking idiot and say stupid shit making yourself look like a fucking retard.

have a nice day

Why do you post in the gear forum when you obviously know NOTHING about gear??

huh??

did i say you cant use it? tool around with all your shitty little pedals all youd like

i dont use chorus in my own rig, thank you very much

all i said was that chorus is a shitty effect for metal, particulaly when used with distortion.

maybe intellifex doesnt alter the signal but run your cable through 4 or 5 stomp boxes and chances are it will sound worse than if you just plugged straight in. even just one, the crybaby wah, will change your tone, although thats actually a good sound, warms it up a little.

i can and did fuck around with a chorus pedal for about a year and got sick of the fucking thing and havent used it in years, its not like i plugged into one in a store for half an hour

youre still wrong

i don't own any "shitty little pedals".... i barely own any pedals... and i never said that you said i can't use it... so why bring that up?


good for you





yeh... so not only did you say more than that, but you're wrong too! haha.. it's fine for metal & distortion as long as you're not an idiot and you know how to do it.

i gaurantee you probably can't tell the difference.

well, maybe it was shitty pedal... and that still doesnt take away from the fact you could very well be half retarded


whatever helps you sleep at night...

We need fucking ACTIVE mods!

Just a thought Nomad.

Just dont make him mod of a forum other than geartalk, or he'll never go there.

Just wondering, how does one become a mod?

you wouldnt want to give me that kind of power.... i'd be like god or something....

All we need in here is DEF, BLS, And XDX... Thats it.

I highly doubt Nomad would entrust so much power in a simple post whore like me, and XDX.. were both still fairly new. Gear Talk usually stays clean cause Def is on often enough, plus now darko and nihilly mod here along with def and atif.

anyways.. whats this thread about again!?!?
