I am saving up for the Fender Reveb Unit, but for the interim I need some other sounds to whet my appitite!

Tremolo/vibrato
Fuzz
Tube Screamer

Dude, these are very nice. lots of options. V or square pattern, ascending or descending trem... It's cool...

I like the Voodoo Labs trem pedal - very warm. I have the two knob version

I dunno man, but what you'd pay for four stompboxes will get you more then halfway in the direction of a reverb unit.

I know what you mean! I think I am going to get the reverb unit now and let the pedals come afterward!

Any body have one they are willing to part with? I am cruising Ebay for one of course...

Thanks,
JK

you can get various types of those pedals for very little money.
i suggest checking out:

tremolo - Danelectro tunamelt tremolo- $25-40 maybe even cheaper if used...

vibrato - The Danelectro chicken salad vibrato gets pretty rave reviews and it can be had for 29 bucks new. not sure what it goes for used but i hear nothing but good about it from very picky pedalers Wink .

Fuzz - this one is a little tricky since most good fuzz pedals are pretty pricey ie. over $150. i have only had one fuzz pedal and it was one of the most famous contemporary pedals: the fuzz factory. i liked it but it was almost too wild for me. i tend to like the 60's sounding ratty/grindy fuzz sound like the mosrite fuzzrite, maestro fuzztone, and the sola sound tonebender mark II. different builders make copies of these pedals but many are expensive. right now i am looking at getting a FuzzRiot pedal from VintageFX. i think it runs about $125.

tubescreamer - you could get a boss sd-1 which is nearly identical with a few minor changes. many people like it better. if you want something even cheaper get an arion tubulator. that one should run you less than $30. they were on sale for 10 bucks a week or two ago. both are tubescreamer variants.

delay - the danelectro PB&J and DanEcho are both moderatly cheap and easy to find on Ebay. my personal favorite is the Ibanez DE-7 which can be found for around $45 used. this pedal gets a great analog sound for a digital pedal.

just for calarification: i am not some danelectro nut im just recommending pedals that are great sounding but cheaply priced so you might be able to get them a little easier.

...A wise decision. Although, when you are looking for more stomp boxes these are my personal fav's.

Tremolo: Guyatone Tube Tremolo VT-X. Really rich and punchy with plenty of versatility.

Tube Screamer: TS808 Ibanez Reissue. Blows away any SD-1 I've ever owned, even the Japanese black label ones with the same JRC chip. They have very different gain structures and the 808 can also work as a great boost pedal (esp for mids) with the gain at 0.

Fuzz: MI Audio Neo Fuzz is really versatile and cool. DAM (Differential Audio Manifestations) makes some killer Vox Tone Bender clones.

Delay: If you don't need a long delay time (over 500 milliseconds) then spend the extra dough to get an analog box and you won't be disappointed. I'm currently using a Maxon AD80.

As a side note, it's worthwhile to get true bypass pedals when you can, cuz a couple of non-true bypass pedals can really degrade your original tone.

Good luck finding that Reverb Unit!

-Mike
