Best Fattening Modulation?

[ChetMagongalo]

I vote Lofi junky and polytope. The cosmi is great but I think the warped vinyl seems cooler if you're gonna go expensive. I found the cosmi to be dreamy but not really fat at most settings.

I think Tris idea with The warped vinyl is pretty good. Very fat sounding but it can be subtle or intense.
Lo-Fi junky was also my other idea.
Of you don't want Modulation try a pitch shifter with a minimal detune. Could be The sound you looking for without (stupid) lfo.

[rfurtkamp]

Yep, mentioned the detune.

+/-5 cents stereo panned gets huge fast without being swirly.

Love my rack toys for that!

... try a pitch shifter with a minimal detune.

What I'm actually using now (and what inspired this thread) is a Rainbow Machine set like that.

Yep, mentioned the detune.

[univalve]

That's how i use mine the most too.

Mid-Fi Deluxe Pitch Pirate?

I always wanted to try one of these.

[ChetMagongalo]

that was easily my favorite part about the rainbow machine!

[zRobertez]

You could probably set some sort of filter up for some PHAT stuff. Mid freqs but not huge peaks?

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, I usually have the PDF-1 in the chain as well. It helps, but can't where I want on its own. I'll try a stronger filter.

Sugestions for the "solo guitar" sound in the first minute?

Unfortunately, I don't have money for the Warped Vinyl

[rfurtkamp]

The right reverb/delay/distortion combination, and pretty much any chorus would get there I'd think.

I'm hearing mostly the interplay of the verb/od/delay, with chorus as the finishing touch.

But there's a *lot* of processing going on. I'd want high-end multi as the starting point to do in the wild on a "budget" - and a guitar with a piezo blend and/or phase switching too.

YT may be complicating it though as well, would need a higher quality source materal. The right panned electric lead section in the second minute might point where to go as well, the gain staging sounds similar without all the delay/verb/modulation.

[DarkAxel]

Yeah, I do hear that the verb is doing a lot, but the modulation itself doesn't really sound like a chorus to me

[Ro_S]

I reckon it needs to be analogue - either tube, optical or bbd chips.

Suggestions:

- a univibe-type effect for that lovely 'chewy' thing (e.g. Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe)

- an old-school type phaser, such as a 70s Small Stone, a Russian (black) Small Stone, or a Visual Sound Oil Can.

- a Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus (not a typical sounding chorus! has phaser like qualities)

- Biyang CH8 Chorus (a Boss CE-2 clone but with a tone knob)

- an optical tremolo (e.g. Voodoo Lab Tremolo)

- a tube tremolo (e.g. Guyatone Flip)

- a tremolo with a tone knob (e.g. Nobels TR-X Ttremolo, SolidGold Stutterbox)

similar vibrato... what can I say - I'm a huge sucker for anything Steven Wilson does... my biggest idol
Anything that can get me close to those smooth tones? Maybe the little Malekko vibrato? BBE Mind Bender?

I know he uses TC Electronics Shaker live - any experience with that, guys?

[rfurtkamp]

Given the BBE and the Malekko aren't going to be significantly cheaper, might as well start where the man does if that's what you're gunning for.
