Tool tone/FX sticky thread ver. 1

#286
I am excited to see how this will be set up, especially with that six channel road rage switcher. I thought it was just one signal for clean then it splits for one with just clean and one for clean/dirty. So why the big looper? By the way this board so so nicely made and everything good job! :D

If you go back one page I have my signal chain in a diagram. My pedals will all still be in the same order, just going to pair up stuff like chor/flange....whammy/gt2 so I'm not doing the JC dance when having to turn stuff on and off

Hey Toolmybass:help:, Or anyone else with a BR-2, I have just managed to get my hands on one (which is pretty hard here in the UK!) and to be honest, I am a little dissapointed.:bawl:

Basically, when engaged and I first hit the note/chord etc there is a huge "pop" kind of noise:hmm:, as if the signal is clipping. do yours do this, or do I have a dud?:crying:

my signal path is as close to JC as I can get it - following the diagram with the BR2 after my DD-3. I have also tried it on the dirty side after the Rat/overdrive and this is the same.

If this is how the pedal is then its got to go, and I will try out the MXR, as when we played Jambi and I kicked the pedal on to fire the guitar solo off, I honestly thought my speaker cones would part company with the cabinet!:eek:

thanks in advance:hyper:

Ah ok, so it could be normal?

As I was expecting the "whoomp" that you hear I Jambi right before Adam fires up the heil! But I can only coax this nasty clacky/ clipping noise!

I am a bit bummed out really as I have waited ages to get one lol

MXR it is then!

Thanks again!

I'm a little surprised that so many people find his tone hard to get. A StingRay (or any hifi bass with a fresh set of rounds) combined with a BF-3, CE-5, tap tempo, and SansAmp will get you most of the way there - or at least enough to make most people happy.

My thoughts are that guys start off trying to cop his tone and will get pretty close, then they start digging and find out what gear he's actually using and panic. Very few can afford a Wal and the massive amounts of stuff he's using so they get their panties in a bunch and commence the "how can I get JC's tone" threads.

With a fresh pair of strings on the Spector NS4CRFM, I can get his tone all day long (probably helps I'm running through a GK 700RB-II head and Aguilar GS412 cab too). Truth be told, I love hearing him play but I don't find some of his tones useful in my own context. He's just really good at what he does.

You're probably right. I don't mean to offend anyone, but to me he's one of the easier guys out there to emulate when it comes to tone - even if you're on a budget.
