I’m looking for an amp that would be good playing gigs or getting a solid versatile sound, it doesn’t need a ton of effects because I’d like to get some pedals alongside it, namely used:
BOSS BF-3 Flanger
BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus
BOSS CS-3 Compression Sustainer
BOSS DS-1 Distortion
BOSS GE-7 Equalizer
BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver
MXR M101 Phaser 90
But that list is a work in progress.

Fender champion 100
What’s the difference between that and a boss katana 100?
azure steeple
What’s the difference between that and a boss katana 100?
Champion is an analog 212 amp that is 100 w
gray sky
Champion is an analog 212 amp that is 100 w
212?
azure steeple
The katana 100 is a modeling amp
gray sky
Oh Shit fr?
azure steeple
Yea
gray sky
The katana 100 is a modeling amp
What does that mean
azure steeple
What does that mean
It is all digital and can model other amps and fx n stuff
Like the champion has different voicings and fx still but it is analog
Like the katana would be like an amp in ur computer where as the champion is like a normal ss amp
gray sky
It is all digital and can model other amps and fx n stuff
Yeah ideally i get my fx stuff through pedals and whatnot
azure steeple
The champion still gets fx
gray sky
I just need something that might work for gigs and can work with like 5-6 pedals
azure steeple
The champion 100 is good for that especially if u get the v2
It has abonch of different tones and has an fx loop
And some built in fx
I am currently writing w my band we have 2 Marshall half stacks a drums and the champion 100 is keeping up
W also r using a 600w bass amp
Idk how the katana 100 would keep up being only 1 speaker but if u spend 550 on the katana 100 212 it would definitely keep up
This is a demo of it
gray sky
Would it work well with a les paul studio
azure steeple
Yea
azure steeple
This is a HSH strat but it works well w a 335 and Les Paul standard so
gray sky
Would it be worth my time to get that amp instead of a katana and get delay/reverb pedals instead?
gray sky
It has delay and reverb built in
Sure but i wanna be able to control my rates and depths and stuff
Also is it worth buying amps used
azure steeple
Yea definitely
rustic thicket
Also is it worth buying amps used
if you know what to look for ... solid states are much 'safer' to by used than tube amps
gray sky

tube amps are a pain in the ass to maintain thats for sure lol
would i be safe to buy solid states used then? i saw a vox ac15 for like $300 in good condition
azure steeple
Used ss amps guitars and pedals are good ideas
rustic thicket
it's kinda weird putting 1K in pedals in front of a 400 dollar amp though
might as well put a multifx in front
not a grand ... but at least more than the amp
azure steeple
Sure but i wanna be able to control my rates and depths and stuff
U can do that on the champion btw the dearth is the part on the knob and the tap button does rate
gray sky
U can do that on the champion btw the dearth is the part on the knob and the tap...
perhaps
gray sky
Used ss amps guitars and pedals are good ideas
thats what i plan on doing
gray sky
it's kinda weird putting 1K in pedals in front of a 400 dollar amp though
so should I spend more on an amp and less on pedals to start or what
im trying to get something i can take to college and use in gigs potentially
rustic thicket
im trying to get something i can take to college and use in gigs potentially
a big and loud amp might not be the best to take to a dorm room
azure steeple
Well most ss amps have a headphone port so they can be used in college dorms w/o getting a noise complaint
But like a tube amp doesn’t
gray sky
Well most ss amps have a headphone port so they can be used in college dorms w/o...
this is what im aiming towards
rustic thicket
but then something small and compact like a modeller would make more sense ... you can always add a FRFR speaker for gigging
azure steeple
Either get the katana 100 212 or the champion 100 and u should be good for both
Idk if a 112 setup could keep up w aband but Ik a 212 can
Both have headphone ports and fx
gray sky
Idk if a 112 setup could keep up w aband but Ik a 212 can
which a champion 100 is right
azure steeple
The champion 100 is a 212 setup
The katana 100 come in both 112 and 212 but the 212 is 550 new where as the 112 is like 400 new
I shoulda asked this earlier but do u plan on playing like modern metal
Bc like the champion can do metal but it can’t really do like gojira type metal and like that type of stuff
Given the fx pedals u listed it doesn’t seem so tho and it seems like a good choice
gray sky
Given the fx pedals u listed it doesn’t seem so tho and it seems like a good cho...
it seems cheaper as well right?
azure steeple
it seems cheaper as well right?
Yea bc it is an analog amp not a modeler it is abit cheaper
gray sky
Yea bc it is an analog amp not a modeler it is abit cheaper
i dont need a modeler cause I want pedals lol
azure steeple
If u want the physical pedals it isn’t worth a modeling amp but the champion also has fx built in so u can’t use those fx while u buy pedals it also makes a great pedal platform
gray sky
If u want the physical pedals it isn’t worth a modeling amp but the champion als...
i want physical boss pedals mostly
azure steeple
i want physical boss pedals mostly
The katana has boss pedals built in the champion has fx built in they aren’t boss specifically but that a good fx and the amp ss a whole is a good pedal platform no matter what pedals u use
Boss does sell a foot switch if u can use if u just want to use them w ur feet but it is an extra 165$ if u get one new
gray sky
The katana has boss pedals built in the champion has fx built in they aren’t bos...
i have a list of boss pedals im looking at that i want physically if possible
azure steeple
If u are set on the physical I would go w the champion
gray sky
If u are set on the physical I would go w the champion
well ideally pedals will stay with any amp i have right
azure steeple
Yea
Like ur pedal boar layout will change over time but u can use any pedals on any amp
And u can keep and mix and match them as u please
gray sky
Like ur pedal boar layout will change over time but u can use any pedals on any ...
I figure my budget for amp + pedals is about $950 + 100 (of my own money)
azure steeple
There are some things where it is worth not getting a boss pedal bc they add up quickly like a behringer eq is just as good as the boss one but a boss bd2 is better than the behringer bo100
So look outside of just boss for pedals
gray sky
There are some things where it is worth not getting a boss pedal bc they add up ...
though the used are only like 70ish bucks right?
azure steeple
But yea if u get a champion and mix and match ur pedals and look used u should be good w that budget
azure steeple
though the used are only like 70ish bucks right?
Yea but a behringer eq is like 35 new
Like some things just aren’t worth the extra but some things are
gray sky
Yea but a behringer eq is like 35 new
i do genuinely want the ge-7 cause ive heard its a very nice eq pedal
azure steeple
Waza craft boss pedals are good but those really add up
gray sky
Waza craft boss pedals are good but those really add up
i dont want the waza tbf
lemme send you the list im at rn
azure steeple
U can get a donner 10 band eq for like 50 new and it has more adjustments and is still a really nice pedal and it is cheaper than a used boss one
Like if u want to spend the extra and get a boss one u do u but some things like eq just aren’t worth it and u could put that money towards a different pedal
gray sky
lemme send you what i just have on the list so far
Primary Targets:
BOSS BF-3 Flanger
BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus
BOSS CS-3 Compression Sustainer
BOSS DS-1 Distortion
BOSS GE-7 Equalizer
BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver
Consider:
BOSS NS-1X Noise Suppressor
BOSS DD-3 Digital Delay
BOSS RV-5 Reverb
BOSS FZ-5 Fuzz
BOSS TR-2 Tremolo
MXR M101 Phaser 90
but ngl i was thinking about replacing the compression with the delay and reverb
azure steeple
I would look at a different noise gate
Like donner hss one for 40 that works great
Idk if u play in different tunings like other standard tunings but if u do the digitech drop is a great pedal to have but can be pricy
gray sky
nah i dont need a digitech drop
The ones I need fs in my opinion are the flanger, super chorus, distortion, blues driver, delay
which used i could get fairly cheap
azure steeple
Look at other distortions to u might find one that fits ur style better like maybe that is the boss ds1 but maybe it isn’t that is one that can vary so much depending on taste
gray sky
fair, though I dont know if I need like an insane distortion rn
Maybe something to his that Megadeth and Metallica tone but thats about it
or Van Halen
azure steeple
I have one the replicates a jcm 80 but also does the Marshall plexi sound it does both great and is cheaper than a ds 1
That fit my taste better given I was looking for that classic jcm sound from ride the lightning
gray sky
whats the pedal?
gray sky
im definitely in need of the plexi/80 sound if im gonna have a smaller fender amp
for van halen, metallica, and really any solid metal/rock sound
azure steeple
The champion does have some Marshall esque sounds built in
gray sky
but that pedal you said does wonders?
azure steeple
They aren’t as good as the plexi crunch but they are decent
Yea I can demo it for u in a vc if u want or something
gray sky
so should I maybe start out with the boss pedals i want and search for cheaper alternatives for a few? like i probs dont need a boss compressor lol
compression is compression rigt
azure steeple
Yea exactly like a bd2 u wont exactly find better elsewhere but some pedals u might like distortions and compressors and that type of thing
gray sky
i wanna go boss for the flanger, chorus, delay, blues driver and eq
those are like, the ones you want boss for imo
azure steeple
Also the super chorus is based off of the Rolland jc 120 which if u like that sound is great
gray sky
i would sell my kidneys for a Roland JC120 Chorus
azure steeple
The eq u can find alternatives for the others I agree with
gray sky
true but i have heard its supposed to be one of the best
is amplitube a good way of testing some of the pedals?
azure steeple
Yea Rolland and boss are the same company so they put it in a pedal and that is the super chorus
Idk I don’t do any of the digital stuff like amplitude the best way to try them would be in a physical store or maybe through Yt vids but in store is definitely way better
gray sky
ofc but i live 2.5 hours away from the nearest guitar store lol
azure steeple
Like ik in a lot of the digital stuff they are generic but based off of stuff like for an amp u might get a British 800 or something instead of a jcm
gray sky
Like ik in a lot of the digital stuff they are generic but based off of stuff li...
true but some of the pedals in amplitube are based directly off real pedals or straight up the real pedal in digital form
azure steeple
Pretty much everything digital is based off something real and some are even on brand
But they might also vary slightly
gray sky
fair but tbf so do real pedals
no two boss ds1s sound exactly the same im sure
do you know any good reverb, compression, noise gate, fuzz, tremolo pedals?
azure steeple
Donner makes a good noise gate for 40
Big muff is a good fuzz pedal but fuzz is like distortion it varies by taste
There are abonch of different big muffs tho
gray sky
Donner makes a good noise gate for 40
im seeing its like $25 used lol
azure steeple
Yea it’s only 40 new
gray sky
im tryna go used for everything so i can maximize what i end up getting
since my budget is like $1050 and the amp will be a least $400
azure steeple
I like the tc sky surfer as a reverb but there are also different types of reverbs and that can affect what pedal u get
I don’t use a reverb pedal bc I have that built into my amp which the fender champion also does so that one can be avoided for now if u get that amp
gray sky
I don’t use a reverb pedal bc I have that built into my amp which the fender cha...
fair, fair
azure steeple
Honestly maybe get a 2nd eq if u want
I want to I just don’t have the money rn bc I’m about to get another guitar
If u are going to do pedals a board is also nice to have so keep that in mind
U don’t have to buy one u can build one urself but it is nice to have
gray sky
Do you think my choice of what I want to get in Boss is fine
azure steeple
Yea but personally I would get a different eq
I also like 10 band more than 7 band
Also something like a wah might be good to have
For that if u want one lol at cry baby or maybe vox
gray sky
For that if u want one lol at cry baby or maybe vox
ive heard cry baby is good, robert smith used one
azure steeple
Also a tuner pedal might be nice to have it can also act as a mute if u need one
gray sky
I also like 10 band more than 7 band
ehh ive heard ge7 7 band is really good
azure steeple
ive heard cry baby is good, robert smith used one
A lot of ppl have them
gray sky
Also a tuner pedal might be nice to have it can also act as a mute if u need one
wdym?
should I get the champion 100 used?
azure steeple
A lot of ppl have them
Dimebag slash Kirk Hammett and more
gray sky
Dimebag slash Kirk Hammett and more
yoooooo
azure steeple
should I get the champion 100 used?
If u want there is a champion 100 and a champion 2 100 the champion 2 line dropped afew months ago so just look at what u are getting look at the differences and decide if that’s what u want
All my experience is w the champion 100 the origional one
Both are good tho
One of the original champions is like 200$ used
Also it has a vox esque setting if u like those tones
gray sky
this says a new fender champion II 100 with footpedal is 400
azure steeple
Yea that is a new one
The champion 2
If u get a used original champion it is like 200
Idk prices if there are any for a used champion 2
The og champion also has a foot pedal
That’s the original champions 100
azure steeple
Idk I haven’t seen any of the champion 2s in the used market idk what they would go for on average
Idk if this will persuade u towards the 2 or the one but the voicings are slightly different
This is champion 2 voicings
gray sky
cause then id have the ability to get like $750 worth of pedals
azure steeple
This is champion 1 voicings
gray sky
is 80s british like a marshall?
gray sky
dude that sounds sick
so i should get a used champion II and get $750 worth of used pedals?
or should i try and get a slightly better used amp?
azure steeple
On the champion 2 the modded British and British color are Marshall tones as well
Marshall esque
The plexi crunch will get u closer to true Marshall but it is still a pretty good tone through the amp
The 60s British is vox tones on the champion 1
gray sky
The plexi crunch will get u closer to true Marshall but it is still a pretty goo...
so a champion II on 80s british plus a plexi crunch is probably a great sound?
azure steeple
Maybe
Champion 2 on clean w a plexi crunch will sound pretty good champion 2 on 80s British w plexi crunch might be a lot
Now if u use it at a lower gain level it will probably sound pretty good
While on 80s British
gray sky
if i can get that amp used for like $300 should I spend the other $750 on pedals?
azure steeple
The plexi crunch was designed to take a clean amp and turn it into a Marshall if u add more to that it can get wonky but at the same time plexi crunch + my amps crunch channel and I have a pretty good kill em all tone
azure steeple
if i can get that amp used for like $300 should I spend the other $750 on pedals...
Maybe spend some on a board and patch cables and power supply but if u want u can
A good way to go about pedals is start with the amp
See what u need order afew
Then from there see what else u need
And slowly build the setup
gray sky
Maybe spend some on a board and patch cables and power supply but if u want u ca...
okay so maybe like $650 in pedals and $100 in pedal board and patch cables (I have a power supply)
azure steeple
Bc u might end up w pedals u don’t need rn
gray sky
Bc u might end up w pedals u don’t need rn
what would you say the basics are rn? imo its flanger, chorus, distortion, blues driver, eq, delay
azure steeple
It takes more time that way but it allows u to dial in what u are going for more effectively
azure steeple
what would you say the basics are rn? imo its flanger, chorus, distortion, blues...
Blues driver and eq are not part of the amp the others are if u want that plexi or jcm sound I would recomend the plexi crunch but I’d say start w a wah of u want one the blues driver eq and a tuner
gray sky
Blues driver and eq are not part of the amp the others are if u want that plexi ...
well i specifically want the boss bf-3 and ch-1 those are must haves
that plexi sounds super nice
the blues driver plus my ibanez tube screamer should cover a lot of bases as well
azure steeple
Then from there distortion chorus and delay
gray sky
and a delay is essential for a lot of playing
azure steeple
Delay is built into the amp
What I am saying is see what the amp has and what it doesn’t and see what u need from there
I can tell u to start w a wah an eq a tuner and the blues driver bc the amp doesn’t have those
gray sky
are tuner pedals essential?
azure steeple
At any point in this when pedals start getting to noisy add the noise gate in
azure steeple
are tuner pedals essential?
No but they are nice to have it mutes ur amp and is signal bassed tuning
gray sky
At any point in this when pedals start getting to noisy add the noise gate in
thatll be when i add the plexi right
i could get a used boss tu-2 for $25 lol
azure steeple
thatll be when i add the plexi right
It might be before I do like having the noise gate w the plexi but it isn’t 100% needed
I mainly need my noise gate for the dual rectifier distortion I run
gray sky
i dont have the money to get all this stuff yet but im tryna figure out what i can reasonably get within my budget, and replace any boss pedals with better equivalents that may be cheaper
azure steeple
That’s what I am saying start with the amp an eq a bd a wha and a tuner
U don’t even need the tuner to start
gray sky
why do i need a wah though
gray sky
U don’t even need the tuner to start
why do i need it to start though?
azure steeple
why do i need a wah though
U don’t u seemed interested in it and that is one that isn’t part of the amp
azure steeple
why do i need it to start though?
It is more of a gigging and convenience thing
U don’t need one but it is really nice to have
gray sky
fair, i wanna get this stuff for gigging hopefully since I have amplitube for quiet playing
azure steeple
Champion has a headphone Jack on it so u could just use headphones with it
And save the money of the audio interface and stuff for digital if u don’t already have it
gray sky
I'd like to get that amp and hopefully 6-7 pedals, a pedal board, and patch cables
gray sky
And save the money of the audio interface and stuff for digital if u don’t alrea...
i already have it, id like both though
considering i basically have a free $950
azure steeple
U don’t need expensive patch cables I have some Amazon basics ones and they work great and a cheap but a nice board usually comes with a carry bag for it
gray sky
U don’t need expensive patch cables I have some Amazon basics ones and they work...
how much are pedal boards usually?
azure steeple
how much are pedal boards usually?
Depends what they r made of if they come w a bag if they have a built in power supply
gray sky
i dont need a built in power supply cause that causes them to cost like $200
azure steeple
And size
Use this website to build ur end goal board layout then u can use that to determine size
I’d assume w the amount of pedals u have listed u will want a 24x15 or 27x15 board
azure steeple
Yea I personally would
It will save u money in the long run w the inconvenience of taking up slightly more space rn
azure steeple
That also works
sterile wraith

u dont need to spend this much for a pedalboard
gray sky
really?
gray sky
550?
sterile wraith
yup
this is mine
although i removed the ds1 copy
what i did was look for used pedals
used pedals are gold
that multistomp ms70cdr i got for around 90 bucks
azure steeple
really?
I mean mine only cost like 500 it would only be 300 but I had to get a digitech drop
sterile wraith
get any sized board u want
and for
power supplies
i HIGHLY recmomend the mosky iso 10
its cheap and isolated
it has lasted me a very long time
i know ppl who have used it for a couple years
and its still kicking
either the mosky iso 10 or the vitoos iso 10
theyre basicaly the same
the patch cables were cheap too
theyre ammoon patch cables
no problems so far
they still work fine
good build quality
how much u wanna spend on pedals though
azure steeple
sterile wraith
tahts all up to u
azure steeple
I built my board myself to fit my pedals
azure steeple
Barhenger also has some good stuff
gray sky
how much u wanna spend on pedals though
well if i can get the amp im looking at for $350ish, that gives me about $600-700ish for a pedal board and pedals
gray sky
I highly recommend looking at used pedals
im only looking at used pedals
sterile wraith

they* and im locked into a few boss pedals because theyre the shit, the flanger, chorus, delay, eq, blues driver, yk
sterile wraith
those arent the shit imo
u can just use the multistomp
and get the flanger and the chorus
in one
gray sky
those arent the shit imo
ive had the opportunity to play with some of them before and theyre what i want
sterile wraith
for delay
joyo aquarius
ic
i mean if u can get used boss pedals go for it
but i find other pedal brands to be better than boss alot of the time
even the cheaper ones
gray sky
but i find other pedal brands to be better than boss alot of the time
the ones i listed are the main ones i want boss for, the rest i want others that can do it better than boss

Tc electronics has a similar sounding chorus + flanger pedal
gray sky
whats a good tuner, compressor, fuzz, tremolo?
azure steeple
Fuzz I like big muffs but once again fuzz is a person specific thing and there are abonch of big muffs for a tuner any tuner pedal u like will work
sterile wraith
korg pitchblack X mini
best tuner ever
if u want a good pedal that can do chorus, flanger, tremolo and a whole bunch of other stuff
get a zoom multistomp
its awesome
azure steeple
Harley Benton also has that one multi fx
gray sky
if u want a good pedal that can do chorus, flanger, tremolo and a whole bunch of...
i want individual pedals though
sterile wraith
why
azure steeple
Harley Benton also has that one multi fx
The DNA series
gray sky
multistomp does it almost exactly the same
sure but its a matter of diversity
gray sky
and u save alot more money
i have like $700 ill be able to spend on pedals
sterile wraith
yeah multistomp has like 100 effects
sterile wraith
i have like $700 ill be able to spend on pedals
yeah but why spend all of it 😭
azure steeple
NuX MG-300 is another good multi fx
gray sky
yeah multistomp has like 100 effects
i want different sound profiles
azure steeple
U can do that with anything with knobs including ur guitar and multi fx
sterile wraith
yeah
gray sky
i dont want a multi fx pedals though
i wanna develop a solid board with different pedals rather than a single digital pedal
if i wanted to do that i could just use amplitube lol
sterile wraith
the multistomp is small and it can do everything a boss pedal can do at a less price
and u only use it for modulation
u can keep ur bd, tuner, reverb, delay
but for flanger, chorus and everything else
azure steeple
U could also just get alternatives to boss pedals for most of them
sterile wraith
multistomp is the way to go
sterile wraith
U could also just get alternatives to boss pedals for most of them
yeah
theyll sound exactly the same and cheaper
gray sky
okay so why even get anything when you can just spend $80 on digital software and play your computer into a pa system
sterile wraith
its not about that its just that instead of buying a chorus pedal and a flanger
which are pretty pricey
you can save space on ur board
and save money
by getting a multistomp
pedals are better than multi fx's in my opinion ebcause of the lack of menu diving and u can just adjust stuff easier
but u can get cheaper alternatives
to those pedals
and also the multistomp to save space
azure steeple
Hell u can spend 80$ and get something from tc electronics that is both chorus and flanger in 1 pedal but isn’t a multi stomp and is half the price of if u were to get both from boss
gray sky
and also the multistomp to save space
space wont be an issue if im getting a pedal board I think
azure steeple
gray sky
but u can get cheaper alternatives
i specifically want the bf-3 and ch-1 though
sterile wraith
i specifically want the bf-3 and ch-1 though
i mean if you want it for aesthetics then go for it
but yk you could be spending less
save money
and get the exact same sound
gray sky
i mean if you want it for aesthetics then go for it
i want it for the fact i know how they sound and want them, plus robert smith used them and thats the sound i wanna have along the way
sterile wraith
if ur going for sound then u can go for an alternative to save money
but its all up to you
azure steeple
U don’t need the bf3 u can do with an alternative for that
That sounds the exact same
But is cheaper
gray sky
i dont need anything 😭
azure steeple
The chorus u can get the boss one if u want
gray sky
im gonna go cheap on certain pedals but others i do want boss specifically
So I could potentially get a Fender Champion II 100w, BOSS TU-2, GE-7, BD-2, BF-3, NS-2, CH-1, DD-3, MXR Phaser 90, and Plexi Crunch for about $1050
sterile wraith
what abt the pedalboard to put that on
gray sky
Eh like $50 some amazon one lol
This is mostly hypothetical as I won’t be able to get this stuff for a few weeks I think
gray sky
So should I knock off a pedal or two to make room for the power supply and pedal board money wise then?
sterile wraith
u usually put the power supply under the board
gray sky
Could I replace it with a better noise gate that’s cheaper like the donner one he said?
sterile wraith
i recommend the Korg pitchblack x
sterile wraith
Could I replace it with a better noise gate that’s cheaper like the donner one h...
u could yeah
gray sky
or maybe change the tuner to smth else
Do tuners matter much?
sterile wraith
ive never tried donner tho
sterile wraith
Do tuners matter much?
yeah
atleast for me
cuz i also use it to intonate my guitar
and adjust my stuff
also needs to be durable
gray sky
i recommend the Korg pitchblack x
The tu-2 used is like $40 tops
gray sky
cuz i also use it to intonate my guitar
To huh??
sterile wraith
try to look for a korg pitchblack mini used
gray sky
Ah
sterile wraith
and on the korg pitchblack u can also change the HZ
gray sky
Can you not do that on the tu-2?
gray sky
Is reverb the best place to get used guitar pedals?
sterile wraith

@sterile wraith Doing a little digging and moving things around, Reverb: Mosky ISO 10, Plexi Crunch, TU-2, DD-3, CH-1, Phaser 90, BF-3, BD-2, GE-7 Guitar Center: Fender Champion II 100 Guitar Combo Amp Amazon: Ghost Fire SPL-04 Pedal Board, it should all cost about $1167 which would only be about $110 out of my pocket
i think that will be what I end up doing
when I can sell my extra guitar and case for around $950 hopefully

The plexi crunch does rock pretty well when u turn down the volume of ur guitar

So its a perfect distortion pedal?
Also what should I know about looper and fuzz pedals?
