I'd like to know your favorite pedals to use with trumpet. I am looking for a super chill and clean sound that sounds almost like a keyboard. Please let me know if you know of any like that or just your favorites in general. Thanks! EDIT: also I'd like to know your favorite preamp.

Hello! I just recently thought and found out about the whole electric trumpet concept and I have been very intrigued and eager to try it out. Because of that, according to what I could find in the internet I went out and bought a vocolo vocoder pre amp so I could hook it up to the pedals. When thinking about the pedals I started wondering if I could buy only one multi effects guitar pedal instead of buying pedals one by one, and save some money while getting more effects. But then I wasn't able to find any information about if it was possible and if somebody had done it before instead of building a pedalboard from scratch. Does anyone know if it works and if it would be a good idea?

Bet you can't guess my signal chain!

I recently started playing in this group that does all improvised music and they have been putting my mic through one of the guitarists pedal boards. I’m having a lot of fun with it but I want something of my own so that I can actually practice with it.

Anyone got suggestions for a multi effects pedal that would get me started?

I have a Boss PW-10 multi-function Wah + Distortion pedal in the front of my chain. If I engage the distortion and play, it sound awesome. But as soon as I stop playing, it starts squealing, even in pretty quiet areas.

How would you handle this? I was considering a noise gate / compressor in front of the distortion, but that’s just a guess from my understanding of how they work and how the signal chain works. Any advice for using distortion without feedback when you stop playing?

But damn I like it when the trumpet has delay on it

Pretty new to pedals. I purchased a line6 Otto filter for my board. Everything is sounding great up to the top of the staff and my output seems to be near nothing once I get up to that register and above. I can still hear the effected sound very quietly, but the attacks of the notes don’t get that envelope filter effect.

Has anyone had a similar issue to this?

Anyone ever tried a guitar whammy pedal with a trumpet? If you're into this kind of thing, check out the latest episode of The Distorted Trumpet Show over on YT - https://youtu.be/0vRkZu003S0

I play my trumpet with a clip on shure mic into a guitar pedal board. Usually on a gig I output from the pedal board to the PA via a mixer. I am looking to buy my own speaker so I am self sufficient and I am wondering what other trumpet players use for their gig speaker/amp of choice? For example, the boss cube street 2, is this sufficient, or do I need to be looking at a guitar amp like the vox ac series, or more like a standard PA system?

First day on this sub!

I'll share a little experiment I did playing trumpet through a vocoder with bright electric keyboard chords as the input. You hear the same recording a few times - dry, mixed, and 100% wet.

Starting research on midi trumpets and I’m not sure how to pick! I keep seeing the Yamaha EZ TP and Steiner EVI, but then there’s Sylphyo by Aodyo and even someone on r/trumpet who designed their own and sells them now. What tips can you give? What sort of breath control differences and effects are there out there?

What’s your favourite pedal to play with?

Why would you want to play a trumpet through a synth guitar pedal and what might it sound like if you did? Check out the latest distorted trumpet show episode to discover, out now, it’s a beauty! 😎🎺

Me and a guitarist friend started a podcast you guys would enjoy. It’s called “The Distorted Trumpet Show”, on YouTube and Spotify. Each episode we look at a different pedal to see how it works and whether it sounds better for guitar or trumpet!! Would be great to see you there https://youtube.com/@TheDistortedTrumpetShow

Anyone using ring modulators? I got hold of a clone of a DOD Gronkulator recently and can really see some potential. It sounds weird and great, although the carrier bleeds through A LOT.

The one that looks a go is the Pigtronix Ringmaster. Anyone have any experience with that whacky toy?

RM into a filter (envelope) FTW!

Hi All,

First post here, experimenting with various pedals and effects.

I got hold of an EHX Hog2 on speculation recently, and it is a beast for many things; a world into itself. It tracks really fast and feels quite natural to play BUT the pitch shifting stuff doesn't really retain much of the attack energy from the horn. It feels great in real time, but doesn't translate articulation without the original sound of the horn blended in. General dynamics come out well though, and the pedal has so many other neat tricks to explore that it's worth a look for other horn players.

Does anyone have experience with any of the other pitch shifters / octavers around? eg Pitchfork, TC Brainwave, Whammy, Eventide stuff (H9, Pitchfactor etc). I imagine the EHX Pog series to be like the Hog. Tracking speed is important, I'm a jazzer!. I'm (overly?) sensitive to latency.

I'm looking for information on the history of electric brass/wind instrumentation. I really enjoy early seventies electric brass sounds that can be heard by Miles Davis, Juicy Lucy, East of Eden, Catapilla, Kraftwerk and many others, but I can't seem to find any information on Google or Wikipedia about how exactly it worked and who first used it or any details whatsoever. Everything on YouTube just looks like modern gear, but I want details about what it was like in the seventies (and possibly 60s, or whenever it was first invented or made available). Would anybody here be able to point me to some resource where I can find this information?

I have a Yamaha powered speaker for use at my studio, and I'm planning to buy a second option for home use. It seems like most people shy away from amps because of the additional timbre variable. What do you like to use?

Title. I’ve been fooling around at home with this stuff for a while now, but I have a gig next month. I am debating about bringing an amp to use as a monitor for myself on stage.

Just curious what you guys do for live performances. If you use an amp, what do you use? I have access to bass amps and a tube guitar amp. Planning to experiment, but curious what everyone else is doing. Cheers!

Hi, all. Been a while since I posted here. I used to run a Voicelive 3 Extreme as an AIO rig for my trumpet, but when I changed projects, I sold it after not using it for ages.

Fast forward to now- I just got a new wedding band gig, and I’d like to put together a small board for some tasty effects. I have two questions:

What do you consider to be the “must haves” on a trumpet board?

Can you recommend a solid harmonizer pedal?

Thanks and cheers, fellow sound explorers!

Hi, we're a band trying to start in Louisville KY. We're looking for a trumpet player. Preferably ages 18-25. We're looking to start a mix of Trash and Ska. The band is being called The Neighbors Favorites. If you're interested, please DM or comment.

Thinking of adding an autowah/filter envelope in there ...
