Post your unique pedal combo sounds

I'd like to hear clips of all of those, especially the Squeezer patch - unlike the others I can't even really imagine what it sounds like.

Very subtle given the amount of processing thrown at it! I was also using quite a long portamento on the oscillator tone, so it took a while to catch up to what I was playing if I glissed, made it sound a bit dreamier.

I think only the people in this forum would even know or care that it was a bass guitar with an effect pedal. Pretty lush.

I really like to turn on the HOG and go nuts... the signal path was:

Bass-->Prunes&Custard-->HOG-->Bass Murf-->PolyChorus-->DM-2. Im blending notes into each other with the HOG exp pedal, and twisting knobs/sliders on the PolyChorus, DM2 and Bass Murf. The Polychorus can do all kinds of weirdness. The HOG's glide function is the real key, because I can slowly bleed notes into each other and make some erie off-key mess.

Clip is 4min long, I started it a little early so you can hear the HOG unaffected first. At 3:21 there is the most cracked out jack in the box noise, that reminds me of scary movies when I was kid.. Im probably the only one who hears it though.. :p Ill post something a little more bass-y later.

Love your stuff ftp.

Don't ask me why but this one gives me the image of a dreamlike train ride - the rhythm of the Murf pattern I guess.

Thanks :cool: It kind of takes me on a trip through a circus circus in vegas.. halfway fear&loathing in las vegas and half killer clowns from outerspace :eek: hehe

Kevteop - It tracks very well, if not as good as with a clean signal then very close.

Ill post something of the freqbox later- ive managed to get it to track very well by putting a filter in front of it(rather- in line before the freqbox).

My favorite sound of ALL TIME is a Memory Man Deluxe into a Small stone. Extremely lush and full. I make the MM overload just a little bit so that way it gives the phaser more texture.

I will steal my buddies Memory man by the end of the week and post soundclips

I aplogise greatly for this, long story short i'm having to use this old laptop atm, the soundcard in which is about as good for recording as a rabid cow would be. Despite this however I felt the need to share. I've got a few awesome sounds out of odd settings and uses of pedals

Unfortunately I couldn't do anything involving fuzz as it just killed the soundcard. I do really apologise for the quality but you can kind of get the gist of it. For some reason the soundcard is insanely sensitive so you may want to turn your volume down and turn it up to a comfortable level:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=249504&content=music

They're both the same but the top one was encoded in 320kbps

The start is (believe it or not) clean bass (I know, so much digital distortion....not nice) then I kick in the wh-4 harmonising 1 octave up, dd-20 set on a nice regular delay, and then the bird chirping sounds are courtesy of my discumBOBulator in a feedback loop

Again, apologies for the truly awful quality, my good pc isn't gonna be fixed for a while so I thougt I might aswell share

And the awful playing, I apologise for that too, the discumbobulator sounds awesome in the feedback loop but I can get a little out of control so I was constantly having to tweak knobs slightly to stop it killing the soundcard

This one is sort of like a synthy flute- I use a synth and reverb from my Boss VF-1 along with a bit of my MXR Blowtorch:

This clip doesn't capture it very well, but this makes a neat Transformers-like robotic sound. This is a 2oct up/2oct down VF-1 patch along with my 3Leaf Groove Regulator and my MXR Blowtorch:

This one is a jet phase overdrive sound using a VF-1 phaser patch I made along with my Xotic BB preamp (terrible name for the pedal):

And because 13,635 posts isn't enough for me, here are two more. This one is an isolator patch along with my Ebow:

And this is a thick reverb patch with my Ebow:

Nice, thanks!

Bryan Tyler - the first half of the 'Transformers clip is great, it sounds like a tripped out didgeridoo and a beat up snare drum.. like British trained aborigines marching into battle in the war of 1812(if you can imagine that).- I was having a hard time decided whether or not that was you playing or just a backing track with an actual (or synthesized..) digi and snare. The second half sounds like a synthesized octave going on in there, but whatever part of the neck you were playing on in the beginning put out some cool sounds that did not sound at all like they came from a stringed instrument and/or pedals.

RickenBoogie - That's awesome, I got the same kind of vibe from it. Thanks for the encouraging words guys :cool:

The first part is actually the only part that's really any use to me :D Here's a (really) rough and out of time sample of how it will sound as a background loop....I plan on recording this as a full song once my Looperlative comes back:

Love the horror clip, btw.....the best part is when it begins to get jangly/chimey near the end. Very cool.

Yep that's the part I was talking about, sounds cool and makes for a nice back tracking track for looping- more interesting that the standard thump on the body and strings/pickups that is generally used to create a beat when looping.




Here's a clip using the Freqbox. The signal chain is:

Bass-->OC-2-->BMS(guitar slider only)-->Freqbox-->mf101-->Polychorus(flange), then the Polychorus switches to the Moog Phaser with the envelope out from the mf101 going into the 'sweep' of the Phaser, and finally the DM-2 delay is added to the mix at the end. The backing track is an 8bar loop from a beat that I just started working on. (I recently started (attempting) to make them out of necessity for the project since we stopped playing with the drummer)

The BMS before the Freqbox gives me an even attack and smoother sustain, making it very useable-- Higher notes don't have much of a tracking problem, but without something eq'ing and/or compressing the signal going into the Freqbox, it is too sloppy when playing down near the low E. The BMS is the key to making it work for me.

The 'env out' into the 'sweep' of the phaser gives me envelope phasing and is basically the 'trigger in', so when I open and close the mf101 filter you can hear the phaser sweeping downward. Filters dynamically respond very well to the Freqbox- very natural and much better than any kind of dirt I've tried.

Normally I use the MP201 for this function instead making due with the (pos maudio exp pedal and) mf101's envelope out and midi sync it to ableton, but the damn thing died on me (the screen just went blank..) a couple weeks ago and Im awaiting it's return from moog soon. I like flanging more than phasing, and really want to add a cv controllable flanger to the mix, or somehow modify the polychorus for cv control- For now I just set the polychorus to a slow flange and play to it, modulating the mf101 in different ways based on the direction the flange is sweeping- sounds pretty good to my ears.

the two that I can think of one is a bad sound clip and the other I havent made a clip of yet,...

One is PS-3 in dual pitch shift with the original source taken out so sounds like a very wide synthy chorus, into PD7 on overdrive mode and DL8 modulated delay mode,...

Two is TZ-2 fuzz into BF-3 set on pan mode in mono so very thick metallic tremolo sound and weeping demon wah...

both seem to be reminiscent of either tool's cover of no quarter (the PS-3 sounds) or the tool and melvins song - divorced,... but thats ok cos im a big fan of both ;)



I think divorced is the best collaborated instrumental :D
