do you regret gettin rid of your ad9
i put mine in bst
but im not sure how to replace it
i need the loot for a bat od build
ive been usin it just for the osc. fedback
so the funeral horn you send me
will probably go in its place
what do you like in your FH loop

Part of me really wants to miss my AD9.
It fucking ruled and sounded pretty damn close to my Deluxe Memory Man when I had it. I didn't really dig the tone loss from the AD9. But the delays were worth it. But at the same time, I've got so many other delays that it just became 'another' delay, you know? The only other analog delay I have right now is a Memory Boy. The delay on the AD9 was better. But the modulation on the Memory Boy makes up for it I guess.

I like putting delays in the Funeral Horn and using the momentary feedback. So that I can do runaway oscillation with ANY delay I stick in it.
Also if you stack od's and distortions in it you can get some pretty interesting oscillations!

Work sucked. Came home and played for the first time in like a week. Bonus points for getting to actually crank the shit out of both my amps (funny, I know) and scream my head off while doing so. I feel better

Always an awesome feeling. Went to a friends show last night and got hit was some fucking wah gas. Really want that plus a new reverb. Also have a line on a new tuner which will hopefuly fix my tuning issues that I am having with all my low strings when using the TU2.

you should try the Ibanez DL10.

I never knew how horrible the TU-2 was until I got a polytune..... TU-2's are horrible, the tracking is latent and the accuracy is way off due to that. The korg pitchblack is better as well but I still feel the tracking is as slow as a TU-2.

on the tuning side i got a Harwire polytune...its awesome...the best function is you can just set the +/- fret number, with standard E being 0. like a capo, but the negative frets allows for low tunings, eg. -4 = C. Not sure if the TC Polytune does that??

no the tc polytune allows you to setup a tuning and then just strum all the strings open and it tells you which ones and how much they are out of tune.

[skullservant]

Ever since I got my Obstructures I've found it incredibly difficult for the Polytune to track when I strum, even single notes. I think the guitar is just SO resonant that it has a hard time finding the notes that are being played. Which stinks, because I love the Polytune

[crohny]

Yeah I currently have a line on a TC polytune which I am hoping to procure this weekend. Also Kevin I am snagging that pickup tonight or tomorrow.

Do what? Whatchu want for it foo?

[crohny]

Uhhhh... I don't know. It's still sitting in the plastic bag you sent it in. Want to just do what I paid for it?

let's take this to PM's...... in other words, PM sent.

that awkward moment when you realize you ran out of earl grey at home and become utterly depressed... i may have a tea problem...

I fucking love herbal teas. I can't stand normal tea, and I rarely ever drink coffee, but green tea, mint tea, vanilla tea, earl grey, lemon & ginger with honey—oh yes.

i run an upper octave+ dry into guitar rig
and lower+ dry into bass rig
its the shit
ps6 gives you both +&-
and splits them into two channels

Boss pitch shifter series of pedals are great. I still have to pick up a PS-3 again.

ghost echo or dr scientists mini rrr - who shall become my first ever reverb when the time is right?

I've owned both and now only own the Ghost Echo. It's a far better sounding reverb for my personal style of music, the volume I play it, and the level of distortion I use. It reacts to high input in much more pleasing manner, IMO, by increasing the delay time to almost a splapback effect. The Mini-Reverb, despite being incredibly useful, well made, and versatile, was just too clangy for my tastes. I needed something warmer and softer—the Ghost Echo provides this.

What are you looking for out of your reverb? I've had both and here's my take. The Ghost Echo has that old school springy verb with just a touch of slap back and has a lot of really good ambience, its got one kind of tone but does it amazingly. The RRR is more modern sounding but more of a jack of all trades, it has a bunch of verb sounds and does them all well but none of them stood out to me as having the wow factor, but if your not sure what kind of verb you like this will allow you to try out numerous different kinds and have each one of them sound usable if not great. Both handle dirt well, and take up lil real estate. The only other major difference is the Ghost Echo is your standard true bypass switching and the RRR has soft touch relay switching. Hope this helped! Oh and can you post some board pics if you got em?

I agree with this—except the part about the Mini-Reverb taking dirt well. For me it didn't like distortion. It became too metallic and brittle sounding.

I had the ghost echo and seriously could never get a reverb tone i liked. I think you are right skip. It does one reverb well, and it's just not what i liked. the bluesky has still been killing it for me in the reverb department.

The only time I could get a sound I loved out of it was on my trip-hop board I built a while ago. I wanted some Adrian Utley (Portishead) tones and the GE nailed it, but any other musical setting and it either was too much verb or not enough, or it disappeared in the band mix. I've heard alot of reports similar to ours, either you love it or you hate it. I've been meaning to try out a bluesky for a while, but my eventide space has eliminated any and all verb GAS for me.

This is interesting, because I've also found the Ghost Echo to be a little too much or not quite enough at times. But I really like that. It's dynamic and entirely dependant on what signal it receives or flows into. It also makes for tweaking it on-the-fly that much more rewarding, which is why I'll never replace mine with the smaller one as you cannot alter the knobs position with your feet.

Also, started working on my Multi-effect last night:

Madbean Afterlife -> Rangemaster with Range Control -> Madbean Egghead -> Super Collider (when I get it back from Nick!)

Looking good so far. Make sure you post more progress pictures. I'm really interested in seeing it all come together.


Has anyone picked up the new GY!BE record yet? I did when it came out, but I've only started listening to it now. I really like it. The first track is quite different than what I consider GY!BE to be, but that's the beauty of music.

I could see that, the RRR was definitely more digital sounding in comparison to the GE. I didn't really keep the RRR long enough to try it out with a bunch of different dirts, my main problem with it was that it wanted to be the only digital pedal on my board. When I had the timeline powered off the same power supply the RRR would hiss to the point of being unusable, which apparently isn't an extremely uncommon problem.

I could definitely agree to that, definitely very dynamic depending on what you feed into it. I love the tone of the GE its just when in a band context to make it audible it had to be cranked to the point where it was too much verb, otherwise you couldnt really tell it was on. I was also competing against keyboards and 2 other guitar players, which makes it harder for verb to be really heard though. All though if i ever get to build another small board for home, the GE is what I will be looking for.
