Anyone into guitar pedals and signal chains?

i play guitar, occasionally and have a bunch of effects.  but i don't play in a band or perform live, so the order of my effects are always changing.  needing to perform songs like would force me to settle on an order.

i generally put temporal effects at the end, so i would move the delay and tremolo to the end of the chain (put tremolo in front of delay). 

A friend of mine helps assemble the Red Panda effects pedal based in Detroit.

Any recommendations on where to start in the Goblin discography?  Looks like i need to play a little catch on their 35+ year career. I had seen the name mentioned, but looked them up when Calibro 35 were compared to them.  And they seem right up my alley…

Nice pedal board! And it has the next pedal on my to buy list, TC Ditto Looper…

I first got into Goblin by watching the movie "Suspiria" Then checked out the soundtrack by them. That's as good a place as any to start. Then Proceed to listen to albums like "Roller" and "Il fantastico viaggio del bagarozzo Mark" then perhaps check out more soundtracks "Dawn of The Dead"

Thanks for the Goblin tips!  Calibro 35 are worth checking out for their Italian soundtrack inspired funk.

Found out today Idlewild are back in the studio!!!!

i don't know where else to put this but

So glad to hear it!  I'm sad I missed it.  I love NIN's stage setup.  And Trent Reznor's arms.

If you are in a band, you have to pay people for the work they do in support of you! Or this happens…

I concur. To me that show felt like an hour long. It went by so fast. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

I was embarassed for Pitchfork reading their reviews of the Hellacopters… they didn't even bother to review High Visibility which is the greatest rock and roll record of the past 15 years..

my conclusion was modern music,, what largely passes for rock and roll, is for pussies…it is such fey weak shit..

here you have Hellacopters record this amazing vintage rock and roll record…

accordign to the pitchfork's of the world if you recorded something as good as ACDC's Back in Black it wouldn't matter because it wouldn't get past their fucked up sense of what good music is.

disgraceful..

i am so angry i better get off the internets..

but you're not, right?

i mean your name is not james ford.. is that what you're saying dude? i want to be in on your joke mahn..can you help me?

My name is not James Ford. Is your name really Hutch? I though we both got our names from tv characters.

I don't really get the appeal of Muse. But then again, I'm not really a rock kind of guy to begin with.

Though I do agree with your assessments of pitchfork, and I do think that 99% of indie rock is total garbage.

Don't get angry, it's just music.
