  1. That's weird. I just downloaded it from there. I'll see if I can upload it somewhere else that will embed it properly. But first I need to change something again...
  2. Just did this quickly. Does the new board let you upload and embed attachments? Let's find out... (I guess not) Still needs a slight bit of adjustment in that first +2 octave triplet part I think. That's what I've been scratching my head over this entire time
  3. I remember that one. STILL deserves more views. How is the whammy patch on the axe? I think the whammy V works just fine for this (the DT doesn't even seem necessary) but the fuzz/distortion begins disappearing the lower you go with the -2 octave setting. The video I posted was with the DSL 50 on what would normally be a useless setting. Super high presence and treble on lead 2 (highest gain.) Also with a buffer (Boss SD-1 switched off) after the whammy, which does make a bit of a difference. I have no clue how he's getting this to sound the way it does at around 6:21. Unless it's staged and not actually the whammy? Note the automation on the computer screen in the background, but he's still controlling the pedal by foot. Meanwhile, I think I MIGHT have figured out that bit that was giving me trouble this whole time...only had to slow it down to around 35bpm before noticing. But I don't know. I'll let the rest of you (all three of you? What happened to nerd herd?) have a listen and decide if it sounds closer.
  4. Well I'll never be as good as that guy. Especially considering he wasn't using a MIDI track 🤯 Did you make yours from scratch? I think I've almost got the main section sounding right, but need to adjust one part. Then onto the middle section which will take another year or two. 😬
  5. @mvaughan89 I think Dave is spot on about boosting mids and cutting bass. Matt has said in interviews that he's one to use extreme mids (and ones in unconventional frequencies) in order to get the guitar sound to sit well in the mix. I'll also add that he doesn't have just one live distorted sound now - there are at least three different ones from what I can tell. But for an overall Muse type sound, you can't go wrong with a Marshall DSL anyway - after all, he used one of the original DSLs heavily during the Showbiz and OOS tours. For what it's worth, I've got the 50 watt head, and while that's probably a bit different from the redesigned combo, I can say that I have struggled getting it sounding right with fuzz/drive pedals. What works best for me is the crunch mode on the green channel, but with the gain set for a sound that is barely overdriven. It seems that it's the voicing difference between the two modes that makes one sound better than the other, even at similar gain levels. But for a main distorted sound, I think boosting mids and cutting bass on your amp's drive channel would do the trick. I wouldn't say running an additional overdrive in front is necessary really, but try switching between the two lead modes as well. I settled on using the higher gain lead mode but with the gain control at a lower setting (which is still something the lower gain lead mode would cover with the gain turned up) Also, if you amp has the resonance control, try turning the bass control down and the resonance control up to compensate. You'd be adding low end in the power section instead of the preamp section, which generally works better with higher gain
  6. Almost word-for-word, because you used the phrase "high velocity swooshing" instead? Yeah they are a bit good. Remind me, did that one have the green PCB? Or was it one of the newer red ones? Asking for a friend.. Also, in the notifications bit, this new board lists an option for "Someone I am following makes a post" Step 1. Turn on notification. Step 2. Follow @Bs Step 3. Put Buck Rogers by Feeder on. Step 4. Wait.
  7. "A phase 90 you say? What happened to the original enclosure?" "The guy that gave it to me for free lost it." "Bastard. Wait, are you actually serious? 🤯" "Yes. Just listen to the three-dimensional swirl on this song by The Mars Volta that I am about to play..." And fixed permanently like his reputation number? 🤔 I want to see if it will go up to 10,000... but I don''t want to be the one to do it! In that case, I'm guessing it wasn't just Longan Dave
  8. That inlay I see less wrong with that than the one I posted 69 lol But really, I wouldn't be surprised if the one you posted is loads better, considering the other one was likely built by that guy who called your Access Virus shit (I shouldn't be making jokes like that, but just for old times and that) Speaking of that, it looks like all the locked threads got deleted... that's a lot of the old content gone. Is the "Pics of you rocking out gigging" thread still here at least? Should be...
  9. Nice to see my phaser was worthy of a painted enclosure, even though I recall you got it for free 🤫 Also, what happened to Dave? Did you voluntarily change it back to Longan? I trust Matthijs didn't accidentally reset it on purpose!
  10. I tried, but that didn't work...Then I asked myself... what would Bs do? So I wrote MGW a long email with a spec for a new guitar But then I remembered... I had the picture saved on my soundcloud to go with a fuzz factory demo. And here you go Didn't you blow up the rectifier tube? It's not common for those to fail. Must have been those crushing palm mutes on those 7 strings of yours.
  11. Simply Dave. end of an era I don't think there was an official demo or anything. I think I have a recording of mine somewhere, but if not, I can make one. I'd also check out the Colossus if you want supra high outputs. Sort of prefer that one really, though the blend control on the Mother Superior is pretty neat. Bs! 🤩 Yeah we lost all the avatars unfortunately. Didn't think I'd find my "fuzz factory" avatar even. If you can't find that, maybe I can dig up that picture of the day you were reunited with your trusty (not to be confused with reliable) amp after that sad state of affairs with UPS?
  12. dav pls I won't ban either one as long as I still get that autograph... you know, as you received a compliment on your bass playing from Phil Lynott's daughter. 👌
  13. I didn't mean we necessarily allowed it (we probably didn't!) but I seem to remember seeing the option to edit the name on the account page. Might have been disabled since then. Did you see we could view username history? I do not recall yours being changed to Hertog Matthijs van Kitabia Also, I was going to suggest that @Dave doesn't go with that username, but dave instead. I'm not helping by giving the admins extra work, but it's probably going to happen anyway.
  14. I'll always remember Longan for his post, "Are monsterbuckers still good?" Does it not let you change your own username this time? I was sure I saw that option somewhere.
  15. I was going to say you should try one sometime, but I gather you're not exactly near Mansons It's a bit good. Wasn't convinced about pau ferro until I tried this one - I don't see any reason to dislike it. It does have different feels, but I guess that's expected.
