My favorite ambient pedals. Boss PN-2 Pan/Trem, Alesis Ampliton Pan Trem, Boss DD-20 (23 seconds of stereo delay, feedback knob at full acts as infinite hold with no regeneration on itself, and you can switch to the next mode in a different time and the last sound set keeps going and going to wherever you had the feedback knob when you left...), Boss PS-3 Pitch Shifter, Boss ODB-3 (the key here is the wet/dry knob...), Small Stone.

Oh and of course - eBOWS, cello bow, slides, Rosin (seriously put Rosin on anything!...just try it...), TV Remotes, Piezo on the headstock.

Reverb I'm lost on. I have a RV-5 right now only because of it having stereo ins/outs. I'm fairly happy with the modulate setting.

Regarding the PDS series. Does anyone know if you can extend the loop time on the PDS 2000's? I recently came across two of these. I would like to make them longer and lo-fi, or at least one of them.

You can push them to around 6-8 seconds with decent fidelity. Anything more and the delays sound robotic...

Hello

Great thread

I was wondering, I'm interested in ambient stuffs and I would like to try this with my gear but could you give me some advices?

For now, I have just a Boss GT3 board, an Ernie Ball volume and a Big Muff. I was wondering because there's a lot of effects in the Boss GT3 but what would be great to add for space and atmospheric stuffs?

Thanks

when i cracked my FL-9 open, the trimpots were right next to the battery compartment (after you take off the main plate, you can see them). I got it oscillating madly, then found some interesting bending potential, then it stopped working. AUD$40 later, its all better, but i havent had the guts to try messing with its guts again.

Work with what you have. The GT-3 has a huge amount of programming power; there's a lot you can do with it. It also models Boss pedals, which are solid fx. The only thing you'd really need with it is some sort of spring or reverse reverb

EH and Danelectro make some solid spring reverbs (look over this thread for more examples). Yamaha is Ground Zero for reverse 'verb (according to thread starter Fiveways), but others have jumped on the bandwagon. I think Digitech makes a usable reverb pedal, that has reverse. Anybody else have any suggestions?

Makes it sound like the track is running backwards. Go listen to My Bloody Valentine or Led Zeppelin to hear reverse 'verb in action.

Listen to the guitar part to Soft as Snow (but Warm Inside) by My Bloody Valentine, it's pretty obvious there.

I swear by my old FL-9. So smooth!

I just did a big cleanup here by request. 21 pages are now 13. If a question was quoted in a later response, the original was deleted to save space. Also, congratulatory posts and others that didn't contribute tot he knowledge base were deleted.

let's all keep this free from clutter.

Thanks,
Ron

Thank you times a million, fiveways. This thread has been an incredible read. I haven't actually finished it yet.

I was gonna ask about the proel volume pedal that was discussed early in the thread. Is it discontinued? I can't find it anywhere.

If so, is there another one comparable in price/quality?

Once again, outstanding work on all your ambient effect guides.

They are the same as the Bespeco ones I am seeing all over here... but personally, I'd suggest waiting it out for an EBjr... I got mine for a good price and, if nothing else, the extra money spent on it can be justified by a tuner out & its potential to be used as a weapon.

Good read

Proel is Italian and active, you can easily find their products in Europe. I remember Musik Produktiv for being a good website to purchase Proel products.
