Hey cool- first fellow voicetone user I've seen on here.
How are you liking the harmony and mechanic?

The Mechanic is great!... barebones basics ftw. I was a little surprised when I first used it because the EQing seemed thin and shrill to me after being accustomed to the muddiness of a raw mic but after my first gig with it I got some comments on how much more clear I was in the mix. I wasn't sure how well the correction worked when I tested it out of the box, but when I heard my backing vox bounce bouncing back i was amazed at how spot on it was. I leave it set at about 12:00.

I just got the H1 yesterday and haven't played with it much yet. Looks like it can be programmed to provide minor, dorian and mixolydian scale tones but i haven't tried it yet. Right out of the box it sounds really bluegrassy, and you can sing the harmonica intro to Blackfoot's "Train Train" with it ;)

I actually have no more GAS... I'm not into the weirder sounds at the moment so this board covers all my needs PERFECTLY! I can honestly say I don't want anything else..?

That's awesome man! A rare thing, particularly around TB. I'm close I think... A couple more key pedal purchases will allow me to finish both of my boards for good as well.

Congrats! :bassist:

Anyone have experience with the line of Mesa Boogie overdrive pedals? I don't know how long they've been out but I've only just found out about them. Any opinions?

I'm pretty sure they just introduced them. I forwarded some information to the guitarist at my church including the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], and it sounds like he might try out at lest one of them. Maybe I'll get a chance to check it out on bass.......?

New Swollen Pickle. First pedal addition in almost 4 years, starting to resemble a respectable setup again... Gonna have to build a new board. Apartment living has me playing through old guitar practice amps that my old roommate left me, I haven't used my SVT in over a year. But I recently found out that you can bypass the crappiness of the amp and it actually sounds really good through quality headphones. The next step is a Boss LS-2 so I can run the ValveDrive and SP in parallel. Options include fuzz+clean, fuzz+OD and OD+clean...

Interesting, I'm going through to Glasgow on Thursday to visit a few places and try a few pedals, if they have any in stock I'll report my findings.

Yeah dude, the staff on their facebook page are really good with finding out what they have in each store so i know they'll have at least one of each Mesa drive. Hopefully i won't get tempted by anything else while I'm there, but I'm sure something will catch my eye.
