Willie's pedal board thread got me thinking ...
I think I need a pedal board. I am really old school and played mostly blues, rock blues, and jazzy blues, so all I used was reverb in the amp, sometimes a digital delay, and a tuner. Two years ago, I started going to a new church, one that played a lot of contemporary worship music, stuff I had never heard before. They use a lot of effects. I am playing in the band now and need to expand my palette a little.
So I am thinking of getting a decent chorus and maybe some kind of overdrive. These days, I mostly play clean and in the past, when I wanted dirt for lead, I simply used a second amp and a A/B box. I can't do that in church - way too loud - so I need a dirt box that sounds good a pretty low volumes. I have tried a few over the years but most of them always sound edgy to me, not fluid, like a real amp pushed.
As you guys know, there are probably in excess of a zillion pedals out there. I am looking for some suggestions on a chorus and an overdrive (and maybe more), as well as something to house them. I would rather buy a pedal board than make one myself. Call me lazy.
What do you guys in the same situation use to cover the waterfront, so to speak?
