Geddy Lee Sansamp Pedal!

[kringle77]

I hear more hi-mid clank from the YYZ over the VT or BDDI.

Or maybe I hear more useable hi-mid clank.
I’ve always gravitated to the Oxford when it comes to Tech21. Had most of their character pedals, both versions of the early BDDI, and found the Oxford to come closest to my favorite tones.(That clanky-yet slightly fuzzed out tone from early early FNM).
I always got “clacky” tones from the VT when I tried to emphasize the distorted metallic edge.

My favorite pedal is an Alpha Omega for those sounds, but feeding it with an Oxford was previously my favorite before I got a crossover distortion(DG X) to add more high end to the Alpha-Omega.
The 2k boosted mids on the YYZ makes me think it might make a good replacement for the Oxford and maybe replace my X in front of the A/O.

It’s between the YYZ and the new 9v Rusty Box, perhaps.

I use an oxford on the hi side of my dual rig. It has the most unique tone and feel of any of the character series. Im waiting on a paradriver v2, which should get into geddy territory but, it will be modded ro remove the mid scoop.

I just want to see if this will breathe a little “life” into my otherwise kind of blah G&L JB-2 Tribute.

I can confirm very usable clank from yyz and the yyz in front of my Alpha Omega Set Low to medium gain is my current favorite combo.

Also love FNM Bass Tones !

You just fed my hunger. Thanks!

I love Rush as well. Esp the Kings/Hemispheres era and much of the 80’s. And early 90’s

Lol, that was specific!

Hell yeah man. It’s got that gutsiness in the midrange

 

[kringle77]

Yeah, it rolls off the lows before the gain stage to keep things gritty, just like the rumble filter on the pddi v2. At the moment though, the oxford is my main character box......and I have a few good ones.

Just in case this wasn't already addressed. It's pronounced Y-Y-ZED....

9V RB? Aw crap, I no longer have a reason to arbitrarily ignore that pedal.

In most places, yes. In the USA, mostly not. I'll just call it Pearson.

But Why? Why Zed?

I kid, I kid. I just can't grasp why some went 'zed' when 'zee' flows better with the alphabet song. =0)

They’re Canadian. Enough said
Looking forward to another trip north to “The Forks” area in Winnipeg.

Finally got to try one of these today. Probably going back there later to buy it.

I liked.

haha I'll stick with mine. But I will eventually be replacing it with a custom rusty box type pedal. I can't wait!!

I ordered one. Should have it Tuesday. I’m not sure how it’ll work for my cover band but it’ll be fun to relearn my Rush stuff in the basement!

Yeah they just got one in today at Flatland. Tried it and the Bass Fly Rig (which I found very meh) out.

The YYZ is a really cool pedal. Tons of options on tap, which I only scratched the surface of today.

You’re such a G.A.S.-inducing mongrel, Greg!

 

[johnk_10]

I don’t think any of us here need any arm twisting in the GAS Dept!! Haha

Did you get a YYZ yet??

Really would like to hear what you think of it when you get it.

I was on the fence but I think I’m going in
