Times like these we learn to rack again

Like walking back in time through decades of the most wonderful years of my life... Somehow I didn't smash it all up..

keep your shit clean...

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

Beak what's with the Rocktron...Um it's cheap..and sooo prosumer..

I ask, have you tried it?

TC Electronics had a 'spring reverb' .....no good...use real spring reverb..trust me.

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

Beak..why are your EQ knobs on 6-6-6 all the time..

Um...I really can't say...devil made me do it.

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

hahaha

After looking at that equipment, casinos and whores were out of the question, no money left.

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

After mastering these treasures...there is no time left either.

On one side its all win - win... there might have been something I was suppose to do with it all..I can't remember..too much fun.

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

I'll love a melody till the day I die.. 'till hell freezes over and the rivers run dry..

I am the light

So simple..
See the vibrational feeder goes to the preamp
the preamp goes to a parametric EQ for reductions
The ParaEQ goes to an AGC(automatic gain control) for conditioning before hard compression
..and to the hard compression we go
after the compressor you limit the shit out of it
Limiting the shit out of it degrades the highs soooooooooo..
An aural exciter is then applied at a threshold to get them back and then some
but wait its not over you still gotta gate that peice a shit cause its gonna feedback
....a modern vocal chain...no transformers for coloration, so ya ..Exciter is a must or it wont sound like anything.

Any questions? No, good I got no answers

prolly $100 for everything on eBay cause some shit needs dope money

When digital equipment was actually impressive..

...the 361 and its trick..ITS A VERY GOOD TRICK!

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

6-6-6
three 6 won (dolby)

666 everywhere..good luck yall'

how smart you think you are! Never be enough. Thank god life's not fair and you can't break past the speed of light...

No, 'ADA' is not the American Dental Association. They only recommend Trident gum 4 out a 5 times.

ADA was the brainchild of Todd Langner. Burned down in 96' and made the best equipment I ever heard. Van Nuys California, the same brilliant people that did the sound for the original 76' STAR WARS film...they also gave us the Pig Nose portable amplifier...

CAE (Kay 3+) is Bradshaw's best that everyone used in the day.. EVERYONE!

Rocktron might be low end...but a few pieces come straight from Egnater( like the Piranha). In 2017 Rocktron was to release 4 rack units based on the plexi, blackface, vox, and a solid state high gain FROM LA CUSTOMs..only few plexi's and blackplate's were released. Cease and desist. Mine don't even have serial numbers, how strange. The plates are blank.

Bradshaw , Langner, Egnater...We stood on the shoulders of giants ..So high up..

not so low end anymore..somebody knows..

CAE 3+ is King.

Gotta' love the Pig Nose!

Somewhere I have an ADA MP-1, but the chorus doesn't work on it. I have a Digitech Twin Tube that gets used more than I would like to admit for weird sounds.

 

[LazerBeakShiek]

Somewhere I have an ADA MP-1,

right on

for weird sounds.

more times than Id like to admit myself.

Boldy explore strange new worlds, and ones well travelled.

Remember those Line 6 Modeling Effects? There weren't any effects circuits in it ...they were all modeled. Whatever that was, and not sure it ever really caught on either.

Modeling effects? or justa light show. Tweak and Tweeze?

Lexicon reverbs and delays are medium-ok. Lexichips. No going to have a gate or compression built in. Tc is so mediocre anything looks good in comparison. Roland sums R and L for many algorithms and that can suck. Rocktron effects use that Motorola engine and it has super low self noise, it places the effect up front. Rocktron has the best features too with plenty of controller assignments. Xpression or MultiValve or Intelleflex..play in the rack nice. You get a built in Hush. And some intelligently designed presets. Best it is less than 1/2 the cost of the Eventides. Also Korg is very nice, at least the effects from the 8000 series keyboards are. Jensen based internals. The A2,A3 are legendary effects and have anything you need. Nice gate and parametrics built in. SPACE PHASER! WARPING!

Anything saying it has digital Spring Reverb is shit. Try a Demetri or Ramona real tank spring reverb for the rack.

Voodu Valve is a great All -In-One

Egnator's Piranha and a Lexicon mpx500 ..The MPX500 can even us ethe R1 pedals system

You guys play keyboards at all? or Keytars? In a band we did the bassist with a Keytar and 8 bit midi bass samples...its just not cool ..one finger notes, no talent necessary, tap tempo and re quantize no sense of Rythm needed either.

that Alesis Nano Synth and Nano bass are holy grails of the midi bass world...if there was such a place.

The Korg M3R is such a piece of crap. Should have mounted up the Roland M VS-1 (the cool 1U vintage module) instead. $100 rack romp's. No winners there, Just degrees of shame.

That's a lot of stuff to lug around. It's easier when it's all in one box.

I have a gator portable rack. I was going to record bands (long story). Interface, power source to plug everything into, headphone amp. Weighs about 50 pounds (25KG), but pretty contained if I were ever to go mobile.

Here’s my rack - it can do anything racks used to do and more - and it’s easier to setup and use.
