It's rare I say this about any guitar but I think those are out and out poo poo. There's usually something I like on a guitar but with those, I dunno I guess the knobs look OK!

Not every clean boost is a sonic detonator tool that will transform any amp in to a metal wrecking ball.

...and the pitch! posted:Not every clean boost is a sonic detonator tool that will transform any amp in to a metal wrecking ball. To be fair, every truly "clean boost" should function literally identically with maybe the exception of exactly how much boost there is. if there's anything different about this boost, they would probably do well to advertise what that difference might be. Any clean boost tweaked for maximum metal carnage might be better off with a slight bass cut for added clarity during boosting, for example. But we don't know that. All we've been told is that it's an extended volume knob in a box with a green LED that costs the gimicky price of $233.33.

Does Meshuggah really even need any sort of pedals? Aren't they the same as those dudes from Periphery in that they run their whole show on rails through Pro-Tools / Cubase triggering their Axe-Fx's and such? (Nothing against Periphery, I just find their music incredibly 'eh')

Thorpe posted:My stupid music poo poo currently is I sold someone a perfectly working power amp on reverb, which he took to Mexico and is now claiming it's sparking and not working and wants a refund. This is from about 10 pages ago but I just got the poweramp back and whaddya know it works fine. Dudes getting his cash back but at least he didn't blow the stupid thing up and gently caress me completely. Think I'm done with reverb for awhile.

eh i mean everyone demoing it at the moment is either djenting or doing the ola style boxy modern high gain tone but i wouldn't be surprised if it becomes useful for more than that. kind of like how tubescreamers used to be just an overdrive pedal but everyone uses them to boost high gain amps now this thread has a weird bipolar fascination between ripping on people that cling to old technology and ripping on people trying to push it forward, and im sitting here like ,,WHAT??". HEH. peace

Wikipedia posted:A 1988 year-end roundup of the year's top albums in Melody Maker ranked Isn't Anything third after the Pixies' Surfer Rosa and the Sugar Cubes' Life's Too Good and said "Isn't Anything is raving nymphomania and out-of-body experience. These are swoon-songs, oblivious, languorous vocals and out-of-focus guitars which are like being taken to the brink of consciousness and held there. My Bloody Valentine are always 'falling out of sleep', or slipping back into amnesia. And sexlove is their ultimate drug, a deliriant, hallucinogen, and narcotic all at once. 'Isn't Anything' establishes them as absent-minded rulers of this daydream nation."

Err my comment was specifically referring to the misha precision drive which has a lot more going on with it than the thordendal boost. I'm right on board with you wrt to the latter.  In semi-related news I've had to physically restrain myself from stepping into a local FB buy/sell discussion in which a dude that already owns a TS9DX was deliberating about whether to buy another guy's TS9 instead because "I've heard it has more mids"  Didn't say anything cause I don't want to rob someone of a sale.

I wanna be a gear reviewer. The shitfucker8999 beafens up your wimpy tone, turning otherwise milquetoast riffs into a ramenesque slew of ghost pepper spicyness. The mids on the fartdestroyer batter your eardrums with the precision of a tzaziki fueled 5pm subway squeeker. The TS808 is okay, I guess. Just dime the volume and 0 the drive, no one really knows what the tone knob does so don't touch it. Like the HM2 no one really uses the knobs on these guys so I don't know why there aren't nano sized clones with just a toggle on/off switch.

Meanwhile Oasis got 2 stars and called a "misfire" for What's the Story Morning Glory... I was amusing myself at work by reading Wikipedia articles about My Bloody Valentine albums (the one about Loveless is especially tragicomic, and good God does Kevin Shields sound like the biggest rear end in a top hat in the world) and every review excerpt is this same godawful college-poetry word salad. I get that writing about music is not the most straightforward thing in the world (the old "dancing about architecture" problem) but that doesn't mean you can just write whatever fuckin thing you want.

Does anyone here own a Precision Drive? I've waffled back and forth on one but every demo I hear sounds like the perfect Boost/OD for fusion and metal playing. Even though I go from despising Periphery to kinda liking them I do have a lot of respect for Misha and everything he gets involved with. The Peavey amp is a bit odd but who the gently caress says no to a signature amp?

The 4559 is an "improved" higher spec 4558... Of course, in ~100% of audio uses, there's no noticeable difference between either, unless you're selling to http://www.ti.com/product/RC4559

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:Well so is the TL072 but folks blanch at what its supposed higher fidelity does to their Rat. It's weird, every circuit except a Rat But a Rat uses a single opamp (LM308), and the TL072 is a dual with a different pinout? The sound of a Rat is partly because the opamp used has a really bad slew rate and poor frequency response compared to more modern chips. There is some other effect circuit whose name escapes me that the TL072 doesn't work in, but that's because the output of TL07x amps behaves strangely if the input common mode range is exceeded.
