The Whatever Thread .. For Gear!!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Sounds like i have some listening to do. I really want to move is into less generic territory, and it seems judicious use of uncommon effects can help with that. Just need to figure out how.

[Sparrow]

all those thick picks on the last page ..
i feel so small.



i do use other picks. and. no picks.
these feel SO right to me.

[resincum]

I went through 5 or 6 types of picks looking for the right one a few months ago. Jazz III for me too.

What's the trick for making more interesting effects work in heavier music? In the practice spot I have a pile of reverbs and delays and a couple other ones and inevitably I end up just slamming along with a chain of tuner>boost>fuzz>distortion>overdrive. I could even do without some of that, but I like options and the gain on my amp is lame so I need the pedals to do all the heavy lifting. We're doing a sort of hardcore punk, sort of powerviolence thing, but I still think there should be room for something. Especially delay.

Fender American Nitro Standard Strat. Played one in guitar center. I hate traditional strats, but damned if that wasn't a great feeling guitar even with a shitty gc setup

thanks for the picks recommendations

I've been using the Dunlop Gator Grips 1.5, the green ones with the gator. I like the texture, but I've been trying the Tortex sharp 1.0s and those feel nice as well maybe a bit better actually, I might want to try something closer to the 1mm. Fender heavys are pretty good actually I might want something thinner because I could use some brighter attack with the flats

I hate the nylons btw can't get on those...

I remember liking Ultex picks, but I went through those pretty quickly on guitar, so i don't know...

or maybe I'll start just... throwing out the Gators when they get too round. I probably shoudl start with the discipline first...

That's what I use most of the time, they last for years on flats Fender heavy's you tend to break off the tip a lot.

I'm getting ready to buy a bunch of odd picks like stone and bone and some other stuff to see how they effect sonic textures on acoustic instruments for recording… maybe I'll do a thread on it for fun

[rustywire]

I'm feeling some kind of angsty way. Bad GAS and cramped.
NO MORE BUYING. ENOUGH ALREADY.

NSFW: show

So much stuff I'm not using, and cant get into...parts and restoration projects.
Gotta do some spring cleaning and get shit tf outta here.

[goroth]

Yeah Chanks, saw the demo. But tbh I can't hear the difference yet between that and the noise box, so my gas got put on hold until a new demo comes out.

This is tight

As far as using effects in heavier music, I like using my BF2 set as a comb filter for some weird tonality, super slow phaser sweeps, using delay in a post rock manner when tremolo picking, and a ring mod mixed kinda low for slow doomy parts to add some general weirdness to my tone. Especially if after fuzz in the chain.

I've heard a lot of people say that the PS-2 is pretty glitchy as far as tracking goes (with feedback and oscillation), but so far mine is following everything pretty damn close to perfect. What kind of settings should I throw at this thing to make it fuck up?

I thought it did alright too. Try changing the incoming volume, envelope swells, and discordant (like voivod) signals into it .

[backwardsvoyager]

yo does anyone have one of those new Boss DM-2w waza craft pedals?
i wanna know whether when you have something plugged into the 'direct' output the 'effect' output produces a fully wet signal or if its still the same wet+dry combination
looking for a BBD delay with CV over rate for sequencing that can go 100% wet basically and that one seems really nice
