Casino4Life Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ok everyone I need some help/advice here. I just purchased a new amp Fender Frontman 212R, and recently sold my BD-2 Blues Driver, which leaves me with a CE-5 Chorus Ensemble and my TU-2 Tuner and a hole in my pedal board. I was given a CS-3 Compression sustatiner, and thus far have not been to crazy about it. I have been playing a lot at worship latley as well as jamming with the family band (Classic rock, southern rock, county) I would like to get a Flanger pedal. Any suggestions to use with my Casino?

damian Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 MXR four knob flangers are good.........I highly recommend the TC Electronic "Toneprint" pedals....There's a "Toneprint" flange........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazerface Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm not crazy about flange, i like to think of it as phase's little brother. My favorite time based effect would definitely be delay, to which the mxr carbon copy does wonderfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 EH holy grail reverb or EH deluxe memory man delay (and a whole lot more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino4Life Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Those are good pedals, unfortunatley my pedal board is only fit for Boss pedals. I was looking at the BF-3 Flanger, TR-2 Tremolo and possibly one of the Reverb pedals to compliment my Chorus Ensemble. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjPWM Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm a huge fan of delay. I use the mxr carbon copy and the line 6 dl4. Best of both worlds. A loop pedal, acoustic simulater, and overdrive pedal would also be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'll just toss this out. MF has rogue pedals power supply and gig bag for 100.00 it was a 50.00 package deal. .but they raised the price. the Rogue Tremolo and the Delay are both way good.. The Compressor a little behind, but still very ok. The chorus is also worth getting. I don't think they have a flanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 my pedal board is only fit for Boss pedals. I was looking at the BF-3 Flanger, TR-2 Tremolo and possibly one of the Reverb pedals to compliment my Chorus Ensemble. Any thoughts? I am not a pedal guy, but I do have a few BOSS pedals and, oddly enough, they are the ones you are talking about. - Flanger is never used. If I want to do Eddie Van Halen I fool around with it. That's it. - Tremolo is on my AC30 and I do use it often. Just adds some nice gentle waves and length to my chords and notes. I am very subtle with it. It sure makes a nice guitar sound sound even nicer. Wonderful effect. And yeah you can go over the top and do The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now," but I like it with some gentle waves after my chords. - keep your chorus. I have chorus on my amp and use it like the tremolo. Some nice coloring to my sound. - I have the Reverb RV-5 and I prefer the reverb from my amp over it. However I do use my BOSS reverb when I want some really deep, cool reverb. Gives me a great faraway sound. But best part about the Boss RV-5, and the thing I use most, is it has a modulation setting. Wow, that is really cool and special. Gorgeous sound. That modulation setting alone is well worth the price of the pedal. If I was to choose one of those to go with, I'd get the reverb pedal. The reverb can be cool when you really crank it, and the modulation setting creates a very wonderful sound. Better than a chorus or tremolo sound.

bonzoboy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If your board only is set up for Boss pedals then my suggestions for flangers may not be very useful for you but I'll put them out there anyway because they are great flangers.First the Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress and the Deluxe versions are great for anything from a jet like whoosh to a gentle phase shifter like warble. Compared to other flangers they aren't too expensive.The other flanger is the Danelectro Hash Browns,it's only a tiny unit of near cigarette package size but in this tiny package is a lot of excellent technology.This flanger too has an incredible range from speed to intensity etc. and only costs $60 - $70.I have both of these pedals and I'm really pleased with them.The E-H Mistress,I've had for about 35 years and its had a lot of gigging and playing under its belt aand is still reliable as the day it was made.The Hash Browns I've had for about 12 years and it's as good as new too.BTW I can almost nail the effect that Jimi got on Gypsy Eyes and House Burning Down by running a fuzz through both flangers with one set on slow modulation and the other set on medium and put through a digital delay set on about 2 -3 repeats-it sounds mesmerizing.
