How to Make Your Guv'nor Sound like a RAT

im not being nasty or anything, but you should try and find your own sounds, i once wanted to sound like flea and try and get all of his pedals, i have owned 2 of them, but got rid of them, after trying other pedals and finding out that they were better. but flea is still my biggest influence, but i dont copy his equipment.

 

My Gov'nur sounded like a RAT when he took money from fitness magazines..

Anyway, sounds like ti would work... do you just hold your foot on the wah at the same position the whole time? Did you remove the return spring on your wah?

Another option would be to use a loooper or other system to blend clean and effected signal...

 

He's not really copying his equipment though, he's using combinations of other pedals to find the sounds. Quite innovative if you ask me. Not flaming or nothing, just stating my opinion.

Hey Petary791, remember me? Calling you a bastard for having an Original Guv'Nor and a 105Q? Well I should have both within the next week or so So i can try your method and report back. Good job mate.

im che non sono nasty o qualche cosa, ma voi dovrebbero provare e trovare i vostri propri suoni, la i ha desiderato una volta suonare come la pulce e provare ed ottenere tutti i suoi pedali, ho posseduto loro 2, ma eliminano loro, dopo avere provato altri pedali ed avere scoperto che erano migliori ma la pulce è ancora la mia influenza più grande, ma io non copiano la sua apparecchiatura.

 

All I can say is... oww.. *L* I move too much to do that, anyway. but hey if it works, go for it!

 

*L* depends on the song..

there's a couple I like to growl the whole time!!!

 

Yeah that's also my reciepe for Timmy C's sound:
Heavy distortion (gain almost 4:00, bass 3:00, mid 4:00, treble 9:00) followed by just a tiny bit of wah. I use my Maxon AF9 with sense all the way down.

Currently lookin for a used 105Q for foolin around.

shhh

 

No problem mate. I'm into the same thing. Trying to get tones I've heard with the equipment I've got. It's fun Recently made a big breakthrough with the Sir Psycho Sexy tone. Check the "Flea's Sounds" thread, 2nd from last post on the 2nd page. I've made it sound even more similar since posting that recording And yes, Some presets would be very nice indeed.

 

So you're using the 105q basically as a low pass filter (for those who didn't know). You can get this with most filter pedals especially the fx25(b), so you won't have to stand there holding it down. Basically you set the filter not to open a similar concept of what you are doing with the wah. Personally I think the Guyatone br-2 works best as a low pass filter since it is massively bassy anyway.

Hope this helps

 

i remember someone (i think it was n*joy) had a keeley modded rat that had the bass frequency enhanced. he posted some clips and man it sounded awesome. but hey if you are happy with the setup as it is, why change?
