Scroll down a bit


Gonna try and save €100 to try these things out when they arrive.

Karl Hungus

Wowza, those are cheap! :eek:

John

As much as I deride Behringer I do think I will have to order one of the delay pedals

Karl Hungus

Aside from the cheapness, I'm holding on for a tubescreamer, or one of those decimator pedals I've heard so much about.

John

I'm hopefully getting a new overdrive pedal made for my guitar and using my RAT for the bass.

Doctor J

Much and all as I know this is bull****

BEHRINGER DIGITAL DELAY DD100 Digital Stereo Delay/EchoEffects Pedal, Ultimate digital delay effects pedal comparable to state-of-the-art studio processors

I still might have to check that piece of crap out.

Personally i wouldn't bother with Behringer - i'd hold out for the Decimator, it's supposed to be absolutely awesome.

As you've mentioned, could be great to clean up the old tone a bit. But right now I'm really looking to nab myself one of those TS808's I've heard so much about. Any thoughts on those?

Ancient1

Apparently the circuit chip is made to the exact same spec as the vintage TS808 (and 9) so yes, i'd definitely consider that one.

As for the Decimator, from what i've read, the clarity and decay is supposed to be unprecedented (for a non-rack unit).

Doctor J

They're really used to boost your signal rather than be the sole provider of crunch. You can get much higher gain amps these days which makes them kind of redundant IMO. An extra thing to go wrong.

Aye, but I want to try out something to boost the gain channel on the Nomad, as opposed to the Metalzone providing the distortion on the clean channel, you dig?

Ancient1

I don't think you can go wrong there, whatever you use the TS808 for.

Ok, I'll use it as soap.

Ancient1

Just remember to plug it in before you use it.

Yup. Randy Rhoads used to use an OD1 to perform a similar function.

Think it'll work for me?

Haven't heard the Nomad so can't really say. It'll provide a boost for sure but whether it'll dirty up the sound in the right way is too hard to call without just going for it. Chris usually has a tube screamer or two to hand. Occasionally he gets ones with the original sought after chip which go for premium dollar ($150-200).

It's something I've never looked into personally, I like to be on the overdriven side of distortion, rather than full face ripping off gain

I'm all about the face ripping though!

Doctor J

I know

I recored a tune a few years back with three distortion pedals going into the gain channel of a JC120 with Vibrato turned on for the lead. Was really wierd, like a reverse delay, I must mp3 it and stick it up.

SirLemonhead

Haha it's still so obvious that those pedals are based on the Boss designs

jcoote

good god the shippings more than the pedal:eek: i had a ts-9 and i used it for exactly that the boost on the gain channel...worked really well although i did prefer the clean-mt2-ge7 method but tube screamer is the business...post that m3 doc

Giblet

I'm buy a crap load of pedals soon, might throw in this http://www.thomann.de/thoiw6_artikel-183498.html

jcoote

that looks really tempting i must say why the hell wouldn't u... great idea for effects noobs who just wanna try **** out... pedals for the price of a boss one hell yeah

feylya

The first six links in my first post are ones I want. Basically all the effects a beginner would need for €100 or so.

Hmm... Bit of chorus for when I'm playing Death songs? I think I might!

OK, here's the solo bit. This is my trusty old Aria Pro II into an OD1, DS1, DOD FX59 "Thrashmaster" into the gain channel of a JC120 (with gain on full, of course) and the vibrato on too. I was in the control room recording this and was hearing things about a second after I played, which was quite odd with a wierd latency/reverse delay (very odd cos there was no effect like that in the loop, just tonnes of distortion). The whole thing was nuts, uncontrollable and I knew not to bother before the first note. Still, the first take was a keeper.

For the masochists out there, here's the whole distorted mess. I think we had distortion on absolutly everything. There are four distorted bass tracks, two rhythm guitar tracks and the lead track, as well as Marto's distorted vocals.

Don't ask

feylya

Wow. That's a lot of distortion. The riff is very Deftones-esque. I like

Doctor J

I was in a very dark place

****, this was recorded 11 years ago :eek:

feylya

11 years? That would have been when you were...*counts*... younger than me :eek:

Doctor J

Heh heh heh, back then I had a vision

This was after Edible and just as Old Scratch was getting going. Marto played drums and sang on this (best drummer I've ever played with, he was in Old Scratch and Edible too) and I did the bassing and guitaring. It's in standard tuning too

feylya

Standard? Fook meh :eek: What gear were you using on the riffs? Or has the memory started to fail

Karl Hungus

That is a lot of distortion altogether... Wow. My anus is rumbling.

Doctor J

I think it was just the Aria Pro II into the DOD pedal into the JC120, fairly straightforward. The feedback that fades in duting the solo happened naturally, I was just standing there waiting to come back in with the rhythm stuff. Two takes, different feedback pitch... nice

The bass is the ESP into the DOD into a Trace 4x10 mic'd and DI'd. I think I recorded one track with the bridge pickup, then doubled it on the neck pickup. It's all chordal stuff. I think we were trying to make thick soupy audio sludge.

Doctor J

JC120s are a bunch of gee for good distorted tones though

feylya

Audio sludge is what it is

Doctor J

It was great fun though. The look on the engineers face when I played that solo and said "THAT'S THE ONE!!!" or when we said we wanted to plug the vocal mic straight into the DS1

That'll learn 'em

feylya

You crazy kids!

Holy moly, you raped that JC120, Doc.

Not bad - reminds me a bit of the The End Complete vibe. (Without Mr. Tardy sharing the love, of course).
