RE: Effects pedals and my current pedalboard setup

in #music7 years ago

Great article! I wish I had the ability to use a real rig with an amp and pedal board. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and don't have the space to store any gear, and it's also pretty loud to have an actual rig. Instead I just use amp simulators like Bias FX. It's pretty decent for my purposes anyway. Have you ever tried using amp sims before? Would love to know your thoughts on amp simulators and effects pedals compared to the real thing.

Thank you very much! Amp simulators can be interesting, however I think they can also limit the player with his sounds. they often don't allow as much possibility as effects pedals and amp simulators effects (especially distorsions) rarely sound as good as pedals. For me effects pedals are a must for any musician at least once in their life. It can be very expensive and amassing them mostly takes a lot of time and money, but after 3 years of investments I'm yet not even close to be disappointed!
