What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
Blatantly piggybacking on the excellent dirt and delay polls/threads...
What's your go-to mod effect? Poll is set so you can vote for multiples if you use them regularly/if they're on your board, but let's keep in the spirit of the other threads and try not to vote for things you have but sit on the shelf...

Since last week, BF-2 is my everything.
Thank you to the various folk who suggested it & transformed my tone life.

wah, phaser, chorus
if I had a dollar for every time I thought "tremolos are kinda cool", then put one on my board, *cough* um I mean squeeze one on my board then jam with it and then immediately take it off my board shaking my head then I'd probably have, several dollars by now.

If OSG has tort me anything...

Phaser. Got a badstone and I've been really into it. It's great for spacey ambiance but sometimes I'll just play Ballad of El Goodo for hours. Plus the lock feature is good for leads that need a bit of stank.
I like the way phase gets under your skin more than the other types. I could see falling down a rabbit hole looking for "better" phasers. MXR comes to mind.
I need a good univibe with a vib function. Something along the lines of an "always on" texture piece. Just to widen my tone slightly. Same as a subtle slap back.

If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointments.

Is there a way to do a low speed mod on those? If I could get the RPMs low enough, I'd spend the 20 dollars on one.

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
I have had a Voodoo Vibe on my board for over 20 years, which I mainly use for Vibe and Tremolo, but it can cop vibrato, chorus, rotating speaker and phaser tones. I just check marked the main 2.
I use a Wah Filter quite a bit. Not a wah pedal, but a sweepable or LFO triggered filter. Pair that with Flanger or Tremolo or Fuzz.
I don’t have an analog flanger on my board, but I have 2 that I use recording and then Eventide pedals on my board have flange settings that I pair up with delay and reverb. I almost never use flanger on its own.

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
phase and trem are the only ones I use currently but I use them both quite a lot.
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
2-stage phaser before overdrive
Quite subtle and smooth, nothing too over the top.
Always had a wah on my board, JAM Wahcko is the best I've ever used. I use the old version with no sweep control, just your straight forward wah that sounds awesome. Never gets shrill at the top.
I've just bought my first chorus pedal, Walrus Julia, as I swapped my Ceriatone Centura for a KTR and unlocked some pedalboard real estate.

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
I'm really enjoying these thread and surprised at phaser being popular so far. Tremolo I get, but for some reason, phaser surprises me.
I'm a flanger man. Postpunk, shoegaze, psych/punk garage. I can do shimmery chorus, thick swoosh, smooth shimmer, weird frozen robot sounds, etc.
I like either the BF-2 type or the Electric Mistress type. I've got the real deal on both counts and mini clones for each, all of them make me happy.
It's become the only modulation pedal on my main boards, it just scratches that itch while I play around on my reverbs, delays, and fuzzes.

Same here. My Retrosonic Flanger has been awesome.MrShake wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 8:30 amI'm really enjoying these thread and surprised at phaser being popular so far. Tremolo I get, but for some reason, phaser surprises me.

That being said, I have been missing my Analogman chorus lately so I might throw that back on the board next week for fun...

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
Tremolo, no doubt.
I have a Caroline Parabola and an EQD Hummingbird that both get a lot of use.
edit - I agree with johnnysomersett below: Ill always have a trem available and it definitely doesn't need to be fancy. A Pulsar and a Rat is really all it takes to get where I want to go.

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
I will never be without a Tremolo. Doesn't need to be fancy, I like the posh ones but I'm fine with a TR-2, just as long as it's there.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Re: What is the OSG modulation family of choice?
I'm a huge fan of tremolo in all its forms, including Brownface-style harmonic tremolo (or does that fall into "other"?)
I love ring modulation, but it's not easy to use in a musical way. The key is to blend a small amount in so that it's audible but doesn't overpower your tone. A LPF on the carrier, like on the Fairfield Circuitry Randy's Revenge, also helps taming the metallic atonal weirness into something actually usable.
I occasionally use choruses, flangers, phasers and vibratos but not enough for me to select them from the list. I kinda like wah, but I never seem to be able to work it into my sound.
