Ok thinking about these. Anyone here use these with a Hot Rod? Of these are there some better i should look at? going to order some online. Thanks in advance for your opinion

Well, there are '000's of pedals and they do vastly different things. What do you want to get out of the amp tone wise.

Are you looking for drive pedals, modulation, whacky effects etc.

Give us some bands/artists that sound the same/similar to what you want the end result to be.

Thanks. Im learning songs from these in no particuler order, Pink Floyed,ZZ Top,AC/DC, Joe Banamasa,John Mayer,Eric Clapton,The Eagles, This Guy , Bob Seger, The Stones,Metallica,and so many more,while at the same time trying new things/making up stuff. I have just learned there are these things called pedals,and im researching alot of them online. I Have read certain pedals work best with certain amps so i just want to make sure i get those. I know with my amp i will need distortion,and i know i want a delay and loop effect, and whacky is cool sometimes Man i am way to noob for this

for a good basic Pink Floyd sound you need a good smooth distortion and a delay. your amp has reverb and you'll want to add some of that along with the pedals. a long delay (about 350ms) and a lot of repeats will get you a sound similar to what you hear on "the Wall" album.

ZZ top & AC/DC tended to play dry most of the time ( no verb, very little delay) but a good fuzz or distortion is a must. Guys like Segar, The Stones & Clapton were less about distortion or fuzz and more about "Overdrive" tones.. but those tones CAN be achieved with a Fuzz or Distortion IF you turn the "Drive" or "Gain" controls way down.

I'd start with something easy and inexpensive & work your way up..
now I know there are a LOT of delays out there, and many guys will not agree with me on this.. but for the money. the Dan-echo is very hard to beat.
I use two of them on my board one set for short delays and the other set for long.

as for distortion or fuzz pedals.. man, its a jungle out there..

I just picked up an OCD by fulltone used for cheap.. and its nothing short of fabulous, but I'm finding out that the price I found this at is not the norm.
but there are TONS of dirt boxes available. and an online store called Tone Factor is going "out of business" and they are giving 25%+ off everything right now.

so my advise is "GO PLAY AS MANY AS YOU CAN" before buying anything.
it won't take long before you start to notice the sublties and want to makes changes.

but above all.. Have Fun!

Drive pedals

Pink floyd tones can be got with an Electro Harmonics Bug Muff fuzz....this is actually a pretty cheap pedal.

ac/dc and zz top, Slash, Bonamassa all use marshalls, and clapton used one for Bluesbreakers (beano album). Plenty of these boxes around, from something cheap like a Boss SD-1 (you can use a monte allums mod to improve tone) to the more accurate tones of the Wampler Plexitone, Zvex box of rock, or Catalinbread Dirty little secret. If you have a low drive one, you can add that to a medium drive one (two pedals on at the same time) to get more tonal variety and options for saturation level.

Stones/ eagles had tweed fenders (or soundalikes). Lovepedal Les Lius, Catalinbread formula No 5.

A reverb or echo is useful to sweeten the tone, and delay is necessary for floyd

What amp do you have. Its fair to say pedals don't like modelling amps. They can also become splatty with certain solid state amps too. If you have a simgle channel tube amp that is usually the best for tone. (lunchbox/small combos are great for pedals)
Edit - just seen your amp is a HRD

The good news is that it will be FANTASTIC with pedals. You should be able to set your amp to be either clean or with just a bit of thickness. This runs the preamp just a fraction and will IMO make a good pedal sound pretty much like the amp model it is cloned to sound like.

here's what i have going into my HRD. you have a week. to ebay!

Definitely give the OCD a try! It in combination with your amp should produce great tone!

Also others to try would be the MI Crunch Box, Wampler Paisley Drive, Way Huge Green Rhino, and ZVex Box Of Rock.

As far as Eagles - they are my specialty. Being Joe Walsh's "twin" was my job for a few years (aka playing his parts note for note, copying his tone, and learning his style/technique). I just posted a long reply to another guy in the Tonefreaks section under "suggest a pedal for me" thread. I talk about what pedal I use for that tone and what gear they have used.

ya know. your gonna need another guitar now
Joes playing one of mine. he says its the best slide guitar hes ever used.

[pontiacfirebird]

i have a hotrod and i use a carbon copy and a dunlop wah both for hawkwind spaceyness and ut sounds good to i

I have spent a lot of time messing with drives and these amps, I have 5 on my board but i also use the drive channel on the amp as a lead boost and it works really well

the calalinbread RAH is astounding imo also the empress multidrive fuzz/od/dist in one pedal can't be bad
