Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2005 5:25 pm Post subject: The MUST have pedal.... |
|
|
I just recieved my brand new Fulltone OCD and I'm simply drooooooling
over this little fire breathing monster. I have never used a pedal, especially a distortion box, that has sounded so full, rich and sophisticated as this thing.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
BTW - Does anyone have a Yamaha UD STOMP they'd be willing to sell??
That is seriously on my MUST HAVE list.
Thanks. |

We still haven't received the first shipment of the OCDs in yet. I'm really looking forward to trying it out. _________________ Ed Yoon

Granted I paid $349 to get one on Ebay (I know I paid double for it), but it's SO worth it. I am sure you're going to love it Ed. |

Yeah, I hear people are selling it for that much on eBay. Hey, as long as you feel it's worth it.
Another great new overdrive/distortion pedal is the Menatone Kar Krash. It's based on the Komet/Trainwreck circuit, hence it's tongue-in-cheek name. Amazingly transparent and touch responsive...

That "Dirty Blonde" looks pretty damn hot too...
I've been looking at the video clips of the RC and AC Booster by Xotic and they sound nice - seems that the common consensus is it that it can make your Strat sound fatter... when A/B'ing on and off you can really hear the difference.
What Pedals Does Guthrie use is some of those fusion tracks with the Suhr on the Tone Merchant clips?
Cheers
P.S. Ed, it would be great if you could get short (and easy to download) video clips of artists demoing some gear (a la the PCI website RC/AC/Robotalk demos). That way, for us overseas buyers, we can hear and see and get a general feel for what we want to buy... just a thought to boost business...

There should be plenty of info on the Guthrie rigs in other threads and photo albums, but I'll post some more info here anyway. For the TM gigs in January, the following is the signal chain:
Suhr Standards, Sugi for "Ner Ner"
Evidence Audio Lyric HG cables throughout
Axess Electronics BS2 Buffer
Mooger Fooger Ring Modulator
MSD Automagic Silver Machine Wah-Wah
Guyatone WR3 Envelope Filter/Auto Wah
Menatone JAC Compressor
Digitech Whammy
Ernie Ball Volume Pedal
Cornford Hellcat 35w Head
In the Effects Loop of the Hellcat:
Boomerang Phrase Sampler
ISP Decimator Noise Reduction Pedal
Analog Man Clone Chorus
T-Rex Replica Digital Delay
Cornford's speaker out was sent to a Palmer PDI-09 with a line level signal going out to a rack and the thru speaker level signal going to a Cornford 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion V30 speakers. This "dry" cab was mic'ed with the Shure SM-57. The line level signal path is as following:
TC Electronic TC2290 Digital Delay (rarely used)
Eventide Reverb 2016 Digital Reverb
TC Electronic TC1210 Spatial Expander
VHT 2/50/2 Tube Power Amp
This "wet" stereo signal was sent to a pair of Cornford 1x12 extension cabinets loaded with the Celestion V30. These cabs were placed on opposite ends of the stage sitting on the Enhancer amp stands and mic'ed with the Sennheiser E609's. There was slight room reverb and a bit of spatial expansion added but that was really about it. About 70% of Guthrie's sound came from the middle "dry" 4x12. The "wet" rig was just to spread out the sound somewhat but wasn't really that integral to what Guthrie was doing.
Here is the amp setting used during the TM gigs:
Here is the floor rig. The Digitech Whammy and EB Volume Pedal aren't visible:
And here is the rack rig. The second VHT power amp is just there filling up space. It's not even on.
You can see more pics of this rig before Guthrie arrived for the shows. He didn't need the Barber Direct Drive SS since the Hellcat is a 2-channel amp. We just didn't have the time to really work in the rack rig with MIDI and stuff, so it was just used for adding a bit of ambiance.

That's really the gist of Guthrie's rig during the TM shows and what you see and hear on the video clips and the DVD. _________________ Ed Yoon

Someday... But I really feel that's something all the manufacturers should do. We'll get to doing more clips in the future, but it's a lot of work to put something like that together. We'll work on it eventually... _________________ Ed Yoon

Ok Ed. You are officially killing me with pics of the Sugi. You're breaking my will, slowly but surely.
Lemme crunch some numbers tomorrow...

This one's got the Karma now.
This Sugi become the official "Ner Ner" guitar. May become a collector's item someday. _________________ Ed Yoon

Phew!
That is certainly quite a complimicated rig.
Thing is, from what you say, he uses pretty much all of it, so none of it is superfluous. That makes it more impressive somehow.
That said, I'm sure that the vast amount of stuff he's got on the floor makes him look like a tap-dancing loon sometimes. _________________ Mmmm...Sacrelicious. |

Stark Contrast to Dave Kilminster last week at the Bassment, a wah, an overdrive and a boss tuner.
I can testify for Guthrie's use of the stuff though.. not tap dancing though. As for using effects try:
Slide
Ebow
Mooger fooger
Whammy pedal
oh yeah.. it didn't sound like a guitar _________________ Fabulous powers were revealed to me the day I held my magic Suhr(d) aloft and said "by the power of great scale!"
I have the power! |

the best overdrive/distortion pedal I've found is a Pete Cornish P-2. Very expensive but worth every penny. Same pedal used by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd... killer tone and sustain at ANY volume |

Hey Ed, how would you chain the Axess buffer ? also the ISP Decimator Noise Reduction Pedal ?
Can you show me some example ? guthrie's set may be?
Also, can you not use the effect loop to link all the delay and chorus? Can't it be like all in one pedalboard?
thanks |

The Axess buffer should be one of the first things on the chain before a bunch of pedals in front of the amp. But certain pedals don't like to see a buffered signal (fuzz, vintage-style wah, etc.), so those things need to come before the buffer.
The Decimator pedal should be the first thing out of the loop to quiet the preamp noise and before things like chorus and delay. Time-delay devices like chorus and delay should be in the loop after the preamp signal. Things like compressor, overdrive, ring modulator, distortion, etc. should be in the front of the amp. There are no hard rules on things like these, but this is the common way to do it. Ultimately, whatever sounds best to your ears. _________________ Ed Yoon
