The Classic Rock guitar effects combo<\/p><\/div>\n

Apply these tips to recreate the classic rock guitar sound. Thicken up your clean\u00a0sound with chorus to\u00a0get shimmer and movement. A\u00a0phaser gives you that psychedelic\u00a070s swirl and the RE-20 Space Echo\u00a0will nail the warm tape echo sounds\u00a0of yesteryear, with the added bonus\u00a0of lush reverb captured from the\u00a0original 1973 Roland RE-201 tape\u00a0echo unit. The Power Stack emulates\u00a0the gain and tonal characteristics\u00a0of a wall of 4x12s – use with a clean\u00a0amp for authentic stack sounds or in\u00a0conjunction with your lead channel\u00a0to make your amp work even harder,\u00a0ensuring your self-indulgent solos\u00a0are not only cutting through the mix, but\u00a0melting faces.<\/p>\n

Need to Know…<\/em><\/h2>\n

Some pedal types work better in certain parts of the signal path\u00a0than in others. Octave pedals or tuners, for example, don\u2019t work as\u00a0well with a distorted signal as with an undistorted signal, so they\u00a0should be placed before the distortion.<\/p>\n
