Loganloveguitar August 2nd, 2012, 07:38 PM does it matter where you place a giggity in the chain since it is like a preamp, right now my chain is, Polytune->Droptune->Plexidrive->Drivetrain OD->TC dark matter distortion-> Boss Rotary Ensemble-> Visual sound H20
thanks for the help
bigmuff113 August 2nd, 2012, 07:39 PM I would place it after the tuner and droptune
MASONish August 2nd, 2012, 07:41 PM I had a Giggity but sold it. It depends on what your wanting to do with it. Before signal chain or after, depending on how you are wanting to shade your tone. I found the EP Booster to be a lot easier & the sound just right.
Loganloveguitar August 2nd, 2012, 07:42 PM I want to use the giggity to get more humbucker tones from my tele for certain songs live so

100%. Great little pedal.

so the EP booster can beef up tele single coils for my distortion pedals ?
Dr. Pants August 2nd, 2012, 08:32 PM Maybe it depends on your gear, but my experience with the EP Booster
would be a resounding "No".
I sold mine because although it fattens things up at low to moderate
volumes, I found it created woofy, distorted sounds at stage volume.
I sold mine because of this. For fattening I've found the venerable LPB-1
to do the trick. If you're after Echoplex type enhancement, the Clinch FX
Pre would likely be a better choice. The other problem with the Xotic EP
is it begins clipping almost immediately. While not too noticeable at lower
volumes, it becomes glaringly apparent at stage volumes. If you play
with a loud drummer, you can kiss a truly clean sound goodbye.
Unless perhaps you have an insanely loud amp and can keep it out of near break-up territory.
I think the Giggity has many reasons why it would be a better choice.
Mainly it has greater flexibility. The only other boost\enhancer that rivals
that is the TC Spark Drive.
Another to consider is the Duncan Pickup Booster, which is known for
imparting humbucker qualities to single coils. They can be found used for cheap.

thanks alot I was goanna be using it for stage use so its good to know this. I will check out the SD pickup booster and the spark drive, I love TC Electronic pedals so that is a plus, they are very reliable

While the giggity sounds like a great amp enhancer, if you want to
switch from (bucker sound to single coil sound) and back....
finding the correct notches on a graphic eq, will put you
more in that seat..I had an old P90 guitar I had to switch to bucker to single coil SRV sound..even quack...it did that well, once I remembered the settings...
wish you luck

what is a good eq pedal that does not create extra noise ? also one that can be daisy chained with 9 volt DC not AC like the mxr ones
uriah1 August 3rd, 2012, 11:46 AM Basic boss GE7.
Never take the volume past unity...then it is a preamp/booster and not an eq.

ahh ok thanks , I will check one out at my local store and see how it goes, I get a month to return it so enough time to gig with it and see how it turns out
uriah1 August 3rd, 2012, 12:43 PM Wish you luck.
If I recall, tele to bucker would be a +1 100hz, +1 200hz, +2 800 ,-1 6.4hz
I forgot, but, I think it looked like a decending wave from left to right.
just have fun

thanks alot, I heard the boss GE-7s are tone sucks is that true ?
uriah1 August 3rd, 2012, 01:35 PM Dont know if I ever ran it in (the off) position, where you would experience that bypassed tone suck. You are heaping/creating tone from the unit, but, yes, it is modified, that is what it does in the creation process.
