Supercollider v2 Review [vs Tonebender]

[Mr. Pickles]

To my ears, the Tonebender had a really nice vintage vibey thing going on. Those fast runs were hash on both pedals, but when the riff slowed down, the Tonebender had a nice character.

FWIW, my wife's labs are not allowed in my studio. The cats have caused enough damage already without everything being covered in dog hair.

definatly prefer the tone bender its alot more defined and has alot less of those farty low mids ;p

Was using a Rickenbacker 4003 for the recordings. I believe the SC is winning right now. I put the amp at high volume at the Int' TB GTG(only needed my amp on 10oc to drown everyone's rigs ) and it sounded much cooler than the Tonebender. Sure, the tonebender does have that classic sound to it but I can get that with the SC as well.

OT: Any pics from the GTG?

Thanks! Back to topic now, sorry....

Actually, from the clips posted of the SC, I wish I could get one. And maybe a morley distortion wah. Run SC->Wah and it would be like SC->wah->dist.

Stupid school

So I tested them out at the GTG.

I actually dug the Tonebender more than I thought I would, but I'd still spring for the SC.

After trying them out at the GTG as well, the SC is really nice. I liked it more than the TB, gonna have to pick me up that new and small SC.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Is there an email address or any other way to get in touch with Earthbound without having to go through myspace?

BTW, I'm loving the low gain clip. I build a tonebender clone, and it doesn't sound as good at low gain as the SC.

Thanks,


Lyle

Spank,
Did you wear your makeup to the GTG?

 

[grygrx]

Did you listen to grygrx's clips? They are always very deep and bassy. I think that his choice of P bass (very deep, not to much high end) translates into a almost high-tone in his videos.

Chronicle's clips however seem to be recorded with a more trebley and high mid tone (maybe a Jazz?), and therefore, sound much different. I think I really like Chronicle's tone much better than grygrx's tone for the supercollider.

Chronicle, what bass did you use for these recordings?

I record the videos with a P bass with the tone rolled off (it even has flats on it). That is why I record clips with a bunch of different basses and make them available on bassfuzz.com

Here is a link to the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] for that review.

Recorded with
1) P Bass
2) Active Jazz
3) Fretless (piezo)
4) 5 string (short scale)

Yep, I know. I listened to them as well as the video. I just think that it maybe be that growly, mean tone of chronicles ricky that just has a much different sound than your clips.

I don't think I've ever worn makeup?

Ohhhhhhhh.....Someone else told me it was stitches from trying to swallow too large of a swollen pickle.

Hindsight being 20/20 I guess.

That's alright, Spanky, I've never worn makeup either
