OK - as promised, here are some clips with the modded black russian 'Murica' Muff. I played through the clean channel not very loud on my orange amp (OR100 with V30s in a 4x12) with the treble and bass knobs at about noon and then clicked on the muff, then repeated the riff. I did my best to...
I play through a 1986 2204 (no 'S'), and I love it. It was about $600 in 1986, which, adjusted for inflation today is $1288.99 according to the internet. I would definitely check that thing out. I'm not sure how mine would sound through a 1x12 - that's kind of strange. I know if you took one...
I recently moved my tuner to the end so it could mute all the pedals in front of it - comes right after my looper.
Then at my last gig I stomped the looper but my clown foot also caught the tuner and I wasn't sure why I went silent - smoove
That sequence looks good to me. All choruses suck.
slowly catching up... nice flanger Bob - that beats the crap out of the ones I've tried in the last couple of years. I used to have an EH Electric Mistress in the 80s. I didn't use it much because it didn't take batteries - you had to plug it in. Seems like I remember it sounding too harsh...
on the topic of fuzz (or at least the way I understand it), this might be a good time to disclose a long running project of mine:
This is a black russian big muff - I think I bought it from a HR BBS user in the classifieds many years ago. It was a real tone sucker when it was stock (whether...
Yeah - that thing is cool - sounds much better than what I would expect for a 6 volt input and a real tube (that just sounds like bad idea jeans in principle).
But yeah - maybe a terminology problem - I associate "fuzz" with a Big Muff or Octafuzz or some silicone diode nastiness that you have...
good stuff - congrats on the new guitar! I've never owned an electric Fender guitar (and the acoustic I had became a pile of toothpicks more or less, and I do have a Mexican P Bass that I love) but the last few years I've been starting to warm up to the possibility of a Tele, or maybe a Mustang...
I suppose it makes sense to me that the noise generating circuitry could come before or after the amplification stage in a preamp (or both, I suppose, but ideally neither) - I guess the preamps I have tend to make [more] noise first, then amplify. Thanks.
31 for me - but this song does pull you back, huh?
I loved it! I think the vocals are just right. The pedal steel is fantastic - don't mean to single it out - it's all good. Except the shaker - I'm sorry man, you might have to euthanize that thing - I wanted to kick over my left monitor for...
I haven't tried slate due to my arbitrary no iLok constraint, but if you could easily try them all for a month for $20 with no commitment (or even with a short commitment - $60, for instance, is a lot less than most single plugin licenses, and 3 months seems like an ample trial period), that...
Yeah - it's all could get out of him that day - he was sort of purring and cracking up when I held him up the mic. We'll have to talk. And thanks!!!
Also, I'm hearing it about the xylophone sound now. It's funny how misplaced pride can cause sub-optimal mixing decisions:
I was so proud of...
Thanks Tad - just what I needed - I was remembering a Les Paul I traded for a RG550, and there wasn't even a dog involved. I also remembered when my dog got hit by a truck.
Sounds great!
Bob - I have never seen a SG like that - all misery aside, do you know what year it was? I'm a wanna-be...
How about that a certain mic (e.g., SM7B) needs "to be driven by a preamp with a lot of gain" - seems to me like there's more than one thing wrong with that notion. If anything, the mic is driving the preamp instead of the other way around, but even that doesn't make complete sense. Also, in a...
