Unexpected Tonal Bliss Thread

[theshoegazer]

This is a thread for pedal combinations that shouldn't work but do in wonderful ways.

Today I ran a Fender Strat (bridge pickup) into this:



Into a Fender Frontman 65R clean (bass at 8 mids at 7 treble at 6).

Resulted in razor sharp, jangley, noisy tones that had to be heard to believed. Recording tomorrow

Now share yours!

i tried on thursday the infanem second voice into the TAFM. Holy schmoly, bass like hell. It rocked so good. Yessterday i tried the combination at home and made my floor shake. Highly recommended!

Surprise! It was basically an accident when I tried it, but the Hi Five Boost into the Ruckus OD with single coils and volume rolled back is the sweetest clean tone I've ever heard coming from my guitar. Doesn't work with higher output though.

Green Muff Clone into Barbershop OD= 100% sex.

Love 'dat Barbershop! My Muff clone (Triangle) is coming this week. I'm gonna run that shit together aaaaaalllllll night!


Also: dershoezengazen: What exactly does the Bi-Fet do? And like what does Bi-Fet mean? I guess I could look it up, but I'm at work and have to get back to the word I just said. Yours is the only one I've ever seen, and you seem to swear by it.

WADDUP.

It's a boost/preamp that uses a bifet transistor

Basically what Jero said. It imparts a really lovely tonal quality to bass and guitar. In the setup shown I'm using it as a treble booster. They're usually super cheap and widely available on the used market. Pick one up?

I ran a Digitech Grunge into the "distortion" channel of a Marhsall MGDFX 30 watt amp, sounded awesome. Also using any cheap distortion or overdrive pedal as a lead boost will work, I use a MOddtone Speedbox to boost my Box of Rock (clone) and it sounds great, add a delay and it's instant gilmour, my friend does teh same thing with a MXR classic overdrive into a Rat.

I just switched the order of my muff and od. GOOD GOD IT'S KILLER!!!I'M GOING BE STUCK SWITCHING THEM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!

[Gearmond]

the moment i found out that i essentially have the most 8-bit sounding pedal effect of all time, via whammy setting on my multi-fx with the fuzz amp model and have the expression pedal sweet through all the different whammy settings.

Was messing around with the Octave on the Hoof Reaper in an attempt to cure my UppeR GAS. It backfired.

Ghost Disaster -> Hoof Reaper (just the Octave engaged) -> Seppuku Repeater = Drone heaven

[DarkAxel]

i remember a shitty Green Ringer clone with blend option over a half into black sovtek big muff

belive it or not, the muff sounded even bigger and bassier, more round and full!! crazy toan

[StudioShutIn]

I actually don't really play electric much, though I plan on remedying that in the near future..
But in the mean-time, I achieved some unexpected tonal bliss by tuning my acoustic down to C,G,D,Eb,G,D
It's a cheap Fender that, for whatever reason, only seems to sound good when it's tuned way down...

Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone->Biyang AD-8 delay->TC Electronic SCF flanger->Boss TR-2 trem->Boss RV-3 reverb/delay. with the right delay/trem settings i can synchronise the repeats and the tremolo speed, pick between the tremolo pulses, and eliminate the pick attacks, resulting in a wonderful 70s sequenced synth sound a la Tangerine Dream. i've also been enjoying Les Paul bass PU with the tone rolled off->Algal Bloom->Velcroar with "ROAR" way over to the right for a 60s fuzz buzz->3xfx Fatman, which as you might imagine gives you a droning, squished Robert Fripp tone that sustains for days.
