The solution for open pedalboard space is clearly more pedals, not a smaller pedalboard. It'll fill itself up in time.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:I’m borrowing a friend’s Wombtone and, so far, it is not good. But who am I to the might of Joel Korte?? The Wombtone I had sounded so awful compared to the Phase 90 that I wonder if I had a malfunctioning unit. It's hard to describe, but it seemed like the sweep wasn't entirely smooth, so at a certain point there would be an audible "dip" or "pop." I also felt like the overall tone was lacking something compared to my dry signal. Kilometers Davis posted:It’s kinda ridiculous how passionate I am about my Whirlwind. I don’t even pay attention to other phasers. It’s that exact old school lush sound I always heard in my head. Probably the first time I’ve ever got the exact sound I wanted out of a pedal. Oooo that one looks nice. Have you used it with bass? Does it cut any low end?

Is there a good formant shifter pedal for vocals? Googling just gives me a ton of plugins, pedals to add vocal formants to guitars, vocoders, pitch shift pedals that maybe have a way to do formant shifting but also maybe don't, and people on the gearslutz forums arguing about autotune and MTV. I've already got plugins that do it, I'm just looking for a way to recreate that live without dragging a laptop around.

What is your favourite modulation and what do you do with it? I've got a Helix which has pretty much every effect (except a decent POG sim) and all I ever do is mess about with the reverbs and delays. I've barely touched the modulation section at all.

massive spider posted:What is your favourite modulation and what do you do with it? The Subdecay Vitruvian Mod is the best ring modulator I've used. It's really easy to dial in an exact carrier frequency for robot noises, and can be used as a detune or straight up pitch mod, too. The wet output is generated by a soundchip from a Commodore 64, which gives it a really unique sound. It's great for thickening up fuzzy solos and lo-fi, 8-bit sort of stuff.

Moog mf flange controlled with a pedal Pedal down is a nice classic flange that pairs perfectly with my dm-2w on a slap back setting Pedal up is a seasick as gently caress chorus flange that works great with a longer delay... which I get because both are tied to the same pedal

Flange and phase with the depth set low can be nice to give solos or lead some extra movement, and tremelo can be cool with high gain in verses.

massive spider posted:What is your favourite modulation and what do you do with it? I'm a bit torn, I like (Echobrain) analog delay AND (Joyo vintage) phaser because they're both multi-tasking effects. At low rates both can act a bit like choruses. The delay can be a quite subtle widen-er or a quick and dirty reverb. Phaser can do flange-like effects as it speeds up, all the way to a univibe-like vibrato. But I also want to show some love for the Mooer envelope filter which can be treated like an auto-wah or a scooped midrange as well as standard envelope. It can sound a bit toppy for some pickups, it's a bit better used with single coil pups because buckers drive it a bit hard, and I'm not talking really hot buckers either. And all 3 have good application to bass as well as guitar, in fact the phaser is better than chorus for me (you can go from Police to Grace Jones with it), I would probably go for a more standard chorus pedal for guitars though. I'm looking at pedals that do more than one thing or apply cross-instruments though. edit: are there good alternatives to the boss ge-7 equalizer pedal? ewe2 fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 4, 2018 |

Figured I would cross-post from the Home Recording thread since this seems to get a bit more traffic. I saw a local Facebook post from a studio that is moving and selling a bunch of their gear. I always try and keep my eye open for these because sometimes you can get some great gear for relatively cheap. However, I realized that I have next to no experience working with outboard gear and would really like to start teaching myself more about outboard processing. Is there anything in this list of mixing/mastering hardware that I should consider getting? My first thought was the dbx160 XT Limiter/Compressor because I have heard a lot of good things about dbx and from what I have read, hardware compression has an interesting quality to it compared to in-the-box. If anyone has other recommendation on where to start with outboard gear, I'd love to hear them. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/708668182801669

If you don't have a decent condenser that's a good price on the c414 and the finalizer will save you a lot of stress trying to learn mixing and mastering at the same time.

I don't know which Tubescreamers are supposed to be the cool/good ones, but I know that the one I have is: a TS9, beat to poo poo, made in Japan, and I paid $20 for it. I like it a lot in front of my amp's gain channel.

I've been out of the game re: pedal mods for a while now, but I finally have a decent job with decent pay. Who are some of the more affordable wizards who can turn average Boss pedals into amazing poo poo? I know about Keeley, and I think AnalogMan is still around, right? Any new people who have popped up in the last five years?

Double posting to bring you this Single Knob Phaser Showdown: Block Logo Phase 90 vs. Whirlwind Construction: Both are very solid, but the MXR wins this category. You could probably use it as a hammer and it would be fine afterwards. Controls: Both have one knob, and function almost identically. No clear winner here. Noise: Both pedals are fairly noisy. The Whirlwind has a bit more background white noise, while the Phase 90 has a more audible "swoosh" when nothing is being played. Tone Both have that classic thick, chewy phaser sound. The Phase 90 has a significant mid boost, which becomes more pronounced the more gain you feed into it. The Whirlwind is not totally flat, but definitely has much less EQ going on than the 90. I prefer the Whirlwind because it seems to work better with other pedals; the mid boost on the 90 is too much when combined with a fuzz or heavy overdrive. Overall Value: The Whirlwind does sound better to me, but I don't know if it's worth the price, since it's not THAT much better than the Phase 90. I'm using these on bass, so YMMV. Probably won't keep either of them, since I'm realizing I need a phaser with more controls.

I'll need to workshop that one a bit, I guess.

The character of the swedish hm2 chainsaw tone comes from the EQ section, particularly when you overload them, so it's crucial to make sure those are up (they don't necessarily have to be up all the way, though).

yeah if you're using an amp sim, set the gain on the tightmetal to zero (which honestly is probably still gonna be too much), and run everything straight to a cab ir. don't even bother with the actual amp sim part if you're using a real amp, go hm2 -> tightmetal -> effects loop return The Muppets On PCP fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Oct 8, 2018 |

I'll fiddle with it some more tomorrow, I think the EQs on the two pedals are kinda clashing. I also fiddled around in Amplitube a bit. None of their generic models worked very well but I did get some promising results from some of the Orange amps.

Really wanted to like the Wampler Ethereal, but I find I'm just not digging it any more than I'd dig a much cheaper and simpler delay, like a Boss DD or MXR Carbon. Gonna dump it on Reverb.

My Carbon Copy is still my favorite pedal and kicks the poo poo out of their delay side of the Ethereal (to be fair it’s a totally different sound) and the reverb + delay while excellent sounding just doesn’t quite nail what I want.

 Yeah, for some reason it bothers me that it does both reverb and delay, because I kind of feel like it doesn't do either extremely well. I think I went into it thinking "Well, I need a delay, and Wampler makes good poo poo, and this sounds useful," and then I got it and just felt kind of "blah" about it. The good thing is that the Ethereal sold in 1 day and I was able to get what I paid for it.Previously mentioned TS9 Tubescreamer is acting funky. The output jack is wonky, and it konks out or makes the signal all muddy/cuts the treble. I'm gonna try that Hosa contact spray that some of you guys mentioned, and see if that fixes it up. Finally, I rather impulsively bought a 1990's Ibanez SM7 "Smash Box" after watching a video that Josh Scott (of JHS Pedals) made about cheapish/good overdrive pedals. When he described it as a pedal that nails heavy high gain rectifier sounds and says he uses it by going into drop D to play STP jams...well, I was like "poo poo, I want that." Any of you guys have any experience with this wacky pedal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etiVDTNRdbM&t=281s
