My board, it will change drastically in a month though...

So sick.

Goddamn, indeed. So @nshuman — do you have the Cali76 at the end of your chain? How do you find you typically use it? (I just got one, curious)

I used to, but then I stopped because I used a UA 6176 as my preamp. Now, I stopped using the 6176, so I will begin using the Cali at the end again. I just use it with very light compression to add a nice fat tone enhancement at the end, but not HUGE amounts of squash or anything.

If I really want to squash everything, I use another compressor early in the chain.

Cool—I'll have to try that, seeing that I'm pretty much after the same sort of thing. I've been messing with it earlier in the chain and love it on its own, but haven't dug it pre-fuzz (have yet to spend much time messing with it pre-OD). It does sound really damn good just fattening things up, esp love the headroom switch on the back.

End of the chain does not work for all compressors obviously. Some just squash too much even at their lowest settings, or are not transparent enough, or too transparent. But I find that the Cali76tx and the FEA DE-CL do that job very well. The FEA DB-CL as well, but I think the DB-CL can do a lot more shaping so it is better at the beginning of the chain. When going into dirt, the DB-CL is cool because you can bypass compression on the highs and just round out the bottom. That way, you still get all the high end on your fuzzes, all the crazy sustain, but you still made the bottom a bit tighter.

I have to try Accountant at end of (dirty) chain. That's what I liked about Metal Zone (yes the one everyone hates) it was tightly compressed and good mids. Of course if you scoop it it sounds like a flat ass but boost both mids and it's business.

I don't get why the Metal Zone is so hated on... there's lots of fun to be had with that thing. Can sound GREAT on synth, too.

But hey, at least that keeps the price down for people willing to take a shot on one

And fucking COME ON!?

I totally get the Metal Zone hate as I found it amazingly bland, but what I don't get is the ODB3 hate as I think that one sounds awesome!

This thread is worse than the Doom Room...



hahahaha

But seriously.

[Jwar]

I'm just messing with your sacks guys. Have fun. hahaha

I may get another for the hell of it. I like it w neck humbucker.

Yeah I'm certainly not making At the Gates inspired jams, but I have seriously been thinking about picking one up recently for kb. Played a friend of mine's Minimoog through one, and it can sound so good on synth bass.

I've known you here for long enough to say that's your usual MO

[FretNoMore]

@nshuman, I applaud you for trying, but what a wrong turn this thread took.

[goroth]

Or you could just post in the pedal board thread like the rest of ILF?

[nshuman]

@nshuman, I applaud you for trying, but what a wrong turn this thread took.

Meh, I honestly just answered a question I was asked. I just ignore the shitposts. There is some sort of irony or maybe total lack of self awareness when people decry lack of substance while creating posts completely devoid of substance.

[FretNoMore]

Yeah, welcome to the Internet.

That would be fun. Novation mini nova is a kick ass kb. Had it for a minute.
I don't need but 50% of that distortion level. Probably gets sloppy / icy because people cranking that dist level too high.
How about distortion (& other effects) with drum machine--I like that.
