    Compressor/Sustainer pedal for Type O Negative?

    Hey, hey everyone! I wasn't sure where to put this so please move if needed. The title really says it all, but for more context: I've been doing a ton of reseach over the years into Peter Steele's bass set up for Type O Negative and it occured to me that, while I do have a DS1, CH1, and DD3 like...

    Digital Delay Tone Clarity

    Dialed back the bass to 3 o' clock, mids are at 12 'o clock, treble went to 2 o' clock. It sounds better than it did before, which is awesome, but when I kick on the delay it still sounds like a gargled mess. I guess thatst because it's delay and it's supposed to do that? (Still pretty new at...

    Digital Delay Tone Clarity

    F-414 -> DS-1 Distortion-> CH-1 Super Chorus -> DD-3 Delay -> Rumble 100. The settings are exactly like his, according to pictures I could find of his pedalboard. What would suggest I dial my knobs back to? Bass, maybe 3 or 2 o' clock, mids at... 12, maybe 11? I've also got the onboard tone...

    Digital Delay Tone Clarity

    What's up, TB? It's been a hot minute I'd say. I got a quick question for you guys and gals regarding my tone with a Boss DD-3 digital delay pedal. With the effects portion of my rig, the delay comes through all muddled and gross sounding. I'm trying to nail that awesome effects sound of Pete...

    Odd Tab Translations

    I was looking through some tabs and saw an odd symbol next to an open note. I looked it up and it was the slide symbol ( I believe it was slide down ). I said, "Cool.. a slide. Sounds like it sound good." Well.. I tried, but the question is: How do you slide an open note? My friend had a similar...

    Don't try this with yours.

    Yeah... Uhm... That's a big Fail in my book. I bet he got his *** kicked after the gig.

    Kiss passed over at Rock HOF

    Hall Of Bull**** is more like it. Stevie Wonder is the "Hall of Fame". Why don't we -the fans- make our OWN Hall of Fame where WE decide who gets in? Maiden deserves to be placed in the "Hall of Fame", but I guess Crosby, Stills, and Nash ( whoever that is ) beat 'em to it, yeah?

    Help relax before and during gig

    I hate being infront of people. All of them focusing their attention on you and all. If you're singing lead and bassing it up, try Lemmy's approach. Adust the mic stand to where its above your head, tilt the mic down to your mouth and play while staring at the ceiling. If it works for Lemmy, it...

    Is there a single rock band do you consider as the "most influential ever"?

    Say what you want, but Nirvana was and still is the most influencial band, era wise. Wait. Did I say influencial? I ment popular, since this turned into a thread about popularity. 70 Million USD from one album or so says Tao. Well, if that's the case, this thread should be changed to, "If there...

    Rattleing strings never rattled before.

    I just completely removed the strings yesterday and they've been off since, but I'll place the E string back on and tune that to see if it still rattles.
