memoryman is a starting pedal for post-rocker i think ) planning to get boss digital reverb and I already have a dunlop rotorvibe which made sound exactly like band caspian has =) still haven't decided about overdrive i don't use it a lot.. but why everybody likes big muff so much? for me it's too dirty sound i'd go with some FUZZ

[DemoColorScheme]

@Holms

Well, I wouldn't say a DMM is the starting pedal for a 'post-rocker' seeing as they're pretty expensive, haha. Besides that, there's no set of rules when it comes to gear. You can make all kinds of music with all kinds of gear. For example: Caspian doesn't use leslie / rotary pedals, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Leslie's are awesome! Regarding the Big Muff: it's a classic and people like to chase classic sounds. It IS a fuzz, though. ;) (useless in a mix, it has no mids)

[Holms]

@DemoColorScheme well it's I mean , that it's a really ground for all guitar sounding in common =) at least as far as i've been on 4 band concerts they all used it. i thought that you don't need mid's in mix, at least from books and tutorials that i've seen they always reduces them in mix. btw if you know more about caspian pedals please tell me :D

[DemoColorScheme]

@Holms

... no mids in a mix? I've got no clue where you've read that, but you really need to do some proper reading then. Like I said, the guitar is a mid-instrument. A guitar without mids is like a sandwhich without anything on it. Dry bread. Caspian pedals? It changes. Nothing super special, though. A RAT here, a DL-4 there, an Echo Park, BOSS delays / reverbs, You can check their facebook for photos. Good luck.

[kurtmaisu]

[alexsweeley]

@loyolam89 Single coils, long vibrato arm for easy chord dips. Essential for the "average" shoegaze sound.
