Do you run through an amp, or do you go straight into a soundboard?

Answer:
i am using a peavy classic 30 tube amp.but for church im gonna have to go threw a sound baord. any advice for both?
Answer:
Multi pedals vs. Single pedals.
The main advantage of udsing multi-effects unit is usually they are more cost effective then single effects. (Low end, at least) However, single effects really allow you to perfect your tone, rather then be forced to try to find a good sound out of a multi effect unit.
You can get controlled feedback out of either. It's not about the distortion effect itself (unless it really sucks, and is giving you microphonic squeals, hums, buzzes, etc.), but how much gain you're putting into he amp, and how much of that is affecting your strings. Feedback is just the result of your guitar sound hitting your strings. Try out different pedals. Don't just ask for reccomendations, but actually try some out.
Answer:
yeah thats a good idea, the only one i treid out was my youths pastors boss gt5 wich is wayyyy out of my price range. but i liked it.
Answer:
um what pedal exactly do you recomend like multi and single effects?
Answer:
Have to leave the Custom 30 at home and play through the sound board? Bummer. I found myself in that predicament recently and got a SansAmp Tri-AC pedal that lets you program 3 different overdrive tones for going direct to a P.A. I'm happy with mine for low volume parts of church tunes or rocking a coffee shop. I heard a Behringer V-amp run direct over the weekend that sounded real nice with lots of effects to play with. Both of these are around $150. But you can't run direct without something that was made specifically for that.
Answer:
Is your name, "smashing guitar" and the line underneath it, "zero", references to the Smashing Pumpkins? Then you may like the Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi. Billy Corgan used a black Russian model, but he had it modified, so you wont get the exact same sound. He also used a Creamy Dreamer pedal that has gobs of harsh gain. Worth the shot. You won't ever nail his tone because he has a million different pieces of equipment, but those are good distortion/fuzz pedals.

thanx I think that a good distortion a flange and a wah would do it. Maybe a chorus.
Answer:
If you want insane feedback go with the Jekyll & Hyde and get a wah pedal. Lots of fun garuanteed. I have one and I think that they are very nice. The Jekyll side can get you nice smooth overdrive and the Hyde gets you to hard rock heaven. Try one out first though, because the Hyde side tends to have a unique tone to it, and I know that we all have a certain tone in our heads that we want. And the J&H is great for feedback, just switch on both channels at the same time at almost any setting and you can get lots of it. Be careful about it though, parents and neighbors tend to frown on wailing and screeching at 2 am.

Or siblings for that matter...
If you need more feedback, stand closer to the amp.

alright thanx.
Answer:
What do you guys mean when you say more feedback? I'm totally lost, I thought you didn't want feedback, I thought feedback was bad. I'm looking at the J&H pedal too and if it makes my Strat have even more feedback...bleh. Forget that...tell me if I'm understanding this right.
Answer:
Well it's not always bad. It can be used in a harmonic and good-sounding manner when controlled the right way. I like the sound of feedback and I use it a lot in my guitar playing.
