Cool, I don't think you'll be disappointed. In the old band, the singer had a tremolo setting where the speed was controlled by the exp pedal. He'd start out slow, then ramp up. The first time I heard that at a show (I was playing drums), it came through my wedge monitor and it literally made me jump. I fumbled and almost dropped a stick. I knew it was coming, but it still surprised me.

Yes. Do it! It was kinda funny because I streamed from the new sounds and the next song was Corey's jam. It's like a TB greatest hits or something

random gear request: does anyone make a volume pedal with a huge sweep? a pedal that basically is extremely sensitive so with a ton of fuzz i can get a nice build up with it? the ernie ball one i have works, i just wish i had more control.

It would have to be optical probably or something a bit more detailed like a micro controller were you could control the sweep algorithm to get more fine steps along the physical sweep range.

That's what I like to hear. I've been wanting to play around with some cool spacey sh!t and whatnot.
My singing needs work. But if I can make it more interesting it would make it fun and loosen me up.

anybody make something like this? scott mentioned there was some guy who mods the ernie ball volume pedals to make the sweep more sensitive and give it more control, but i think the guy charges like 150 for the mod. id rather just buy something new lol.

I am not really sure. No experience with volume pedals. I could build one in a month or so if you waited for less.

Word.

With all the space sounding pedals I'm using with bass, there is really only one vocal effect I want. Would it be better to just grab a multi unit like the Digitech? (same logic as grabbing a digitech bass multi instead of one specialty pedal?)

On that thought, Behringer has got to be copying one by now. Think I am going to see what I can dig up on the interwebz.

so shameless. Anything passive will probably not get what your looking for so something active is probably where you wanna be

I'm only a minute into this Digitech review. And it's awesome or maybe it's just the reviewer.

if it's vocal effects that you're looking for go with TC helicon.

I bought a few (and still own one) of their single stomp box effects and they are great. They're a bit much but they are waaaaaaay better than anything digitech.

I just bought a TC helicon voice live play to replace the stomp boxes and save me some room. The thing is awesome and easy as hell to use. Plus I got it used for like $180

Lazarus.Bird · #**256** 01-09-2013, 09:15 AM

So I'm just now listening to Black Pyramid for what I think is the first time. Another one of those bands I can't believe I'm just now listening to.

All their demos suck... Well for anything that I would like to do. It always seems everything is based on harmony, pitch correction stuff.
Is it the one with 3 stomp switches? I guess I'll have to look at the paperwork to see what it has.

I'm half and half with Black Pyramid. I either really like a song or really don't.

Al says it best in SHSH

Sometimes there is a riff that you want to hear for 15mins straight.
