Guitar Effects
what guitar effects will sound good with a solid state 15w crate amp?
im 14 years old and im really good at guitar but i don’t have the money to buy a nice tube stack or something and all the pedals and effects ive been looking at say they only go good with tube amps so i need some good advise on what i should do =/
coming from someone who has been playing over 30 years and plays shows almost every weekend i’ll give you a little inside information on what goes into good sound……
first, good sound isn’t a crate amp….those things are poor quality at best and worthless any other time but since you have one you just have to work with it.
your lack of a good sound is coming from the small speaker in the amp and the low wattage. i haven’t seen one of those small crates in awhile but i’m willing to bet it’s a 8″ or maybe 10″ speaker? ….with only 15 watts trying to drive it? there’s your problem.
good sound quality comes from wattage and from speaker size compatible with the wattage of the amp….having said that, you don’t have to go far above 15 watts to get good sound, but at 15 watts you have to drive that speaker too hard to get any good volume out of it, which is going to distort the sound and not in a good way. if you get a 3o-50 watt amp it will last you for many many many years
can’t say i’ve seen any effects either that are ‘only good with tube amps’? that sounds like a load of BS to me…..most pedal and/or effects units will play equally well with tube or solid state amps……i have among my many amps, a tube fender, a tube peavey, a solid state marshall and a solid state crown and i mix and match effects pedals, rack units and floor pedal combos with all of them with no ill effects…….
you will find that a ‘tube stack’ is a waste of money unless you are playing at the level i am in clubs with 200 or more people and you need to project the sound through a crowded bar…to play in your bedroom with one of those things is just overkill…..i played with 2 -100 watt marshall stacks when i first started and it was too much of a good thing lol…..
