Actually since you say that, I can totally see the Orange-ey sound.

That's what I'm talking about!

I agree too, it can get you that slightly muffly attack with clear overtones that oranges get.

Also the picts are really cool!

Really? My singing tree sounds very dark and...I'm not even sure how to describe what it sounds like compared to an amp. But I have one of the old pre-mellowtone singing tree fx overdrives with four knobs, so it might sound totally different from the lite one.

Does anyone know how the two compare in sound? Maybe I should try the newer one, too.

FWIW, mine's a 3-knobber, I've never tried a Lite. My ST definiely has some chunk to it, but I wouldn't call it dark. It's most definitely not lacking in the low end though. Yours has a tone knob does it not?

Yup. The controls are clipping, volume, gain, and tone.

Strangely the tone is much more effective with a battery power than with a 9v supply (which makes it sound brighter in general to my ears). Some people might consider this weird but I consider it a bonus feature

If you push a lot of bass into my singing tree version it starts to sound like your amp is exploding.

For example:

Of course that is also stacked with something else too...I think it's a Danelectro CC Drive or Transparent Overdrive. I could check the mix files.
But most of the impact is actually an EHX stereo polyphase in envelope down mode slamming the Singing Tree with extra bass frequencies on every string attack.

This is me fucking around with a rather non-standard setup. A step sequencer is being fed into the pickups of my guitar in series and then out through the STFXOD. It's a weird setup but it still has kind of a similar.... I don't know exactly how to describe it...explodey quality to it in this one too.

That one is just the signal being sent through the overdrive into a JCM800/Hiwatt Hybrid head on the "clean" channel (lol, yeah, clean...sure)

Thanks for looking!

Is that a software step sequencer or a hardware one? Sounds pretty cool and inventive.

It's a mochika 2 hardware analog synth/sequencer (also a cv step sequencer).

I like using it to make old video game sound effects, control pedals that have expression inputs, and do general wacky things.

^^^ Is the box black as well? NOYCE.


I had Singing Tree #1 for a few months. I liked it a lot, but I was really looking for a straight overdrive, so I flipped it (*still in Singapore?). I'd like to eventually get another one... it has a completely unique sound that I could only describe as overfuzz or fuzzdrive... and very meaty. I should have given it more of a chance... it just didn't fit my needs at the moment.

Oh yeah, love me some video game sound effects!
