i made a few clips this afternoon...

[JohnDavisNYC]

i had some free time after a session, so i decided to get out some of my pedals and start seeing how different things are working for me these days. i set up the boss oc2, woolly mammoth, noise box, moog filter, and line6 delay... i also had my ibanez flanger and a sansamp GT4, but i don't know if they are really doing it for me anymore... i need a bug crusher micro....

anyway, when i get home i will upload them... can't do it here at the studio for a number of annoying reasons...

Very nice. John, could you explain in what order you're activating which effects? Thanks.

+1, though there's no mistaking that Noisebox about halfway through.

 

[JohnDavisNYC]

ummm... first is just the boss oc2. then it is oc2 + dl4. then noisebox. then oc2, woolly mammoth, and moog lpf.

thanks.

You get a great sound with that OC-2. It's a great pedal, one of the few I will never sell.

 

[emjazz]

John, how do you like to set your Moog LPF?

What bass are you using?

 

[Mharris]

I almost messed my pants listening to that sound clip. MUST HAVE NOW!!!

How is the OC-2 compared to the micro POG?

Man... Serious GAS

EDIT: Serious serious GAS.....

I haven't realized OC-2 can sound so cool!

Is it recorded straight into mixer/soundcard? Preamp/DI?

 

[Mharris]

I haven't realized OC-2 can sound so cool!

Me either!

 

[40Hz_of_Love]

Does OC-3 sounds thesamey?

 

[dirtgroove]

Does OC-3 sounds thesamey?

yup.... samey. the OC2 just has more mojo. Nice clips John!

 

[The BurgerMeister]

Hi John,

Does one have to pay royalties for using the same pedals, by curious coincidence, in the same order?

[JohnDavisNYC]

we can discuss royalty rates....

everyone sounds different playing through the same stuff, so i'm not worried about people knowing what my rig is...

as for the bass/recording chain question, the bass was my 1977 fender jazz bass, and the recording chain was pedals>avalon u5 DI(tone position 1)>logic (rme converters). when i mixed it down, the signal came out of logic, i patched it to a 'federal' am864/u tube limiter, through the console for a bit of eq (just pushing 80hz a bit and pulling out some 300hz) and then the main outs of the console were recaptured into logic. then i just tossed a limiter on the bus to give it a few dbs of clean gain (i don't think there was ever more than 2db of limiting on a few transients) and bounced it as a 192k mp3.

cheers,
john

oh, the moog question... i'm not looking at my pedal, but it is always with a tiny bit of drive, cutoff around '9 o'clock', resonance around '12 o'clock', mix at 100% and envelope at 0%. i think i had it set as a 4-pole filter..... i change that up sometimes, depending on the amp and pa.
