Hi,
I've joined a Paramore cover band; we've just got together, we're picking out which songs to play, beginning rehearsals and I'm practicing the music constantly (no name yet either). I've got a few questions I hope you can answer seeing as you produced their last album and briefly toured as bassist and his tech Riley is no where to be found on any social media. I like to give all bands 110% and I'd like to get this as right as I can.
1A: Are all songs in C# tuning? I'm currently using 2 basses, the P is tuned standard, the Jazz is tuned C#F#BE. I'm currently putting together a P to look like his black '70s P and I'm hoping to add a Butterscotch Jazz and a G3 depending on how far this band goes.
1B: In the Mourning tuning: DGCF?
2: What was the TC Hall of Fame used for? is it 110% necessary?
3: What is the black pedal, green LED, one knob and no label? a custom noise gate maybe?
4: Regarding fuzz and distortion, he seems to have had quite a few on his boards over the years, yet in every live performance and video I can find his tone never seems more than mildly overdriven excluding Fast in My Car. In the attached picture you can see there's labels for "Ignorance", "That's What You Get", 4 different ones "Brick by Boring Brick", 3 different Muff labels and the Son of Hyde. Are these settings varying degrees of light OD (as well as the Muffs) or am I just not hearing something?
...which leads to question 5
5: these are the pedals I'm currently using;
MXR BOD (for Fast in My Car)
Boss FZ-2 (for Fast in My Car)
Diabolik (set very light, for a slightly fuzzy, very overdriven tone)
Darkglass B7K (almost always on)
I also have a SGFX Imperial, a TAFM and a VT Bass I think might fit in somewhere depending on your answers for question 4 but I'm not sure yet. Is there anything I'm missing that you feel I'd absolutely need or am I good with what I have?
Sorry this was so long and thank you in advance!
