I have a TU2 that I love dearly. That being said, I've heard that the PlanetWaves stompbox tuner tracks extremely fast and accurately.

im_sorry posted:What's the general opinion on the Digitech Bad Monkey? I bought one, and it makes the lead channel settings of my Peavey Envoy 110 sound really awesome (at least, to my inexperienced self), but I was wondering how it compared to things like the Wasabi. It's a really great pedal. It's basically a tubescreamer clone with more tonal options. Sounds a bit smoother too, comes in a very rugged casing and is drat cheap.

Hey Agreed (and others) I'm GASing for another metal pedal given I seem to spend most of my time playing metal these days. Got the Zoom Tri Metal already and it's great. Looking for some different sounds though. Maybe something that responds to palm muting a bit better. Was looking at the Line6 Uber Metal. Seems to have a wide range of tones and also has a noise gate. Opinions?

I'm talking super tight palm mutes. Perhaps you can really only get that with a noise gate? My settings are generally like this Treble - 12 o' clock Mid - 11.5 o' clock Range - 12 o' clock Bass 12.5 o' clock Any higher and it's flubby Gain 3 o' clock I sometimes up the mid to around 1 and lower the bass to 11ish. I'll try dialling down the bass a bit more.

Guitar : AL3000 with Seymour Duncan JB/JAZZ combo. Also Mexi strat with Lace sensors (Red, Silver, Blue). Have a Jap Strat too but don't play metal on it. Amp (aka the highly probable weak link). Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. It's a great amp, lovely clean channel and it takes pedals real well. Not exactly built for hi-gain stuff though  Speaker : Eminence Legend 125 50 Watt. I mentioned the noise gate because I thought some of the tighter palm muting came from rapid noise gate attack. You're right that the pedal is drat quiet.

Thanks for all the tips dude. I'll be sure to give those pedals a go and some day when I have money I'll look in to getting another amp more geared towards high gain stuff.

I play drop C on one of my guitars and I needed to make up a custom set from 12-60 to get something approaching normal tension. Below B the strings get too floppy for my tastes.

hamaien posted:So I need (want) a fuzz pedal now that I have everything else I needed (wanted). Seeing as how there are probably a few thousand choices out there, where is a good starting point? Other than Devi Ever and Zvex, what are some good fuzz brands out there? My only experience of this pedal is youtube, but it sounds great to me.

Zvex's fuzz factory does all that. It can do fuzzface to completely whacked out sounds because it's basically just a germanium fuzzface with a simple input buffer and some resistors replaced with pots.

Your problem is most likely caused by ground loops. A dedicated dual output buffer might help alleviate your problems. Other "fixes" can involve unearthing one of the amps so that both are earthed through a single outlet. This is potentially very dangerous though.

Vira posted:Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to even attempt going with the single outlet method but I'm unfamiliar with what a dedicated dual output buffer is. I'm not finding much on Google, could you explain what that is? I'm not sure about the transformer, but a dual output buffer would could be any stereo output pedal. A tuner pedal with both muted output and a non muted output would also do the trick.

My Digiverb is nice but for some reason has a volume drop when in the effects loop of my HT5. I've heard you compliment the Marshall before Agreed, but the Harmony Central reviews seem to state that it's very unreliable. Do you know if that was a teething problem that was fixed? I've been looking for a Verbzilla Toncecore Module to pop into a dock I have but nobody seems to have them anymore.

the wizards beard posted:Get a used one. Any production run with problems will have been weeded out by now True, used also means it's survived the first stage of the bathtub curve as well I suppose. BTW I'm been playing with your old Bluesbreaker2 pedal a lot recently. Great clean boost and the blues side of it is very very usable too.

I was reading about the Boss noise suppressor and apparently you're not supposed to just put it in your signal path. You're supposed to use it's send and return for your noisy pedals or something like that.

CalvinDooglas posted:Just got a Boss TR-2 tremolo pedal. Sounds pretty cool but there's a little bit more compression/volume drop than I'd like. Any recommended mods? I know there's a mod for the TR2 that involves snipping one resistor that cures the volume drop. No soldering necessary.
