JoshH Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 yeah for sure , Hopefully they have started building them, but I know it'll be plenty more months before they are done... Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 When I spoke to them about a month back, they said they're just getting the ball rolling. So it most likely would have started at this point. It'll probably be early summer when they're finished. I don't know that for sure, but they did say 6-8 months for these.

james90 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So nice not having to wait for anything But where's the fun in that? Can't wait to see what the proper DL-1s look like. I think the main differences were going to be a soapbar P90 neck pickup (like the original), dot inlays, and a different paint on the back/headstock.

Olly. Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I really do want a custom though... 2 p90s, single coil sustainer, new manson shape etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see one either Even though I don't really want one, it should look awesome. Might have to get one just because...it's the original Manson. I want one just for the fanboi of having both of Matt's sigs Anyway, those are what Tim said the changes would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshH Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 yeah waiting sucks. This is about as custom as I'll get for a guitar. I've gotten rid of about everything because I had way to much crap. Now I just have a few quality items. Dr z amp, taylor custom GA granda pa guitar and someday the delorean. Right now though I'm playing my brothers 1980's les paul custom, It's such a sick guitar. I may email them asking if I can get the phaser just for shits and giggles since I have all that extra money at their shop, but we'll see. The only other guitar I'd get maybe would be a gold strat or something. But I'm ready for the bellorzz fappage of opening my first manson. I've got one of Chris's picks so I can be super musey and see what song sprays out it the first time, may have to video tape it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually has one of Matt's Mansons, as well as an MB-1 and soon a DL-1. I will still have three MoCs like rust_relic though, just one isn't a signature or previously owned by Matt....it's still a very special guitar though. And there was one other change I forgot - no forearm contour. Olly, what did you have in mind? any photoshops? I was going to have Hugh build that E shape I wanted, but since I changed the spec a fair bit, and already discussed it with Tim...I asked if he could do it. Waiting to hear back about the pricing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm liking the ones I did in the manson thread, not 2 p90s but looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveno1 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Because its a signature model do you think the ff will be set same as matts delorean? As in anyone know what internal settings are for his drive and gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in anyone know what internal settings are for his drive and gate? they'd have to get the original and open it up to find out, but i doubt that they'd bother with something like that. BUT...with the FF equipped guitars i've got from them, it's always been a fairly loud cleaner setting. probably something like this volume: slightly louder than guitar signal gate: 9 o clock? maybe a little lower comp: on front of guitar drive: maybe around 11 o clock stab: on front of guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveno1 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 im getting a replica of matts silvermanson built at the moment from a friend on muselive. Im not sure whats gonna sound best with internal drive and gate... just wondered what they had set matts to as his does normally sound not to high pitched.

I.e. can you make it not squeal? I'd like to be able to do PiB squeals for the lulz but be able to use the thing at least somewhat practically Or am I mad?

I'd like to be able to do PiB squeals for the lulz but be able to use the thing at least somewhat practically Or am I mad? Stab Right- Attack Left- Muffled Comp Left- Attack Right- Muffled To get rid of the squeals, you turn the stability all the way to the right- then it can't squeal. You can then change the clarity of the tone with the comp. Or you can do it vice versa- the comp, at about 3:30, cuts the squeals too (but when creating any noise from the guitar that isn't tuneful (ie rubbing your hand over the strings) the squeals are evident). Of course, once comp is turned all the way to the right, it pinches the tone and is really weird (really horrible sound, you wouldn't use it for normal playing). With comp to the right, the tone is controlled with the stab- doing it this way you can get much larger tone ranges, but the squeals are still slightly evident.

JoshH Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 will the dl 1 with Fuzz but not the phaser have the two twisty kaoss pad controls on the back or just one. and the phaser controls are on the bottom yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the twisty kaoss knobs are for the FF, with the other 3 and the speed control for the optional phaser in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshH Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 sweet i was thinking it would look crappy with only one kaoss on it and be pretty useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The DL-1 with fuzz only will have the two knobs below the bridge (stab and comp for FF) with on/off mini toggle, and two more knobs for volume and tone. I can't remember how the original delorean is setup... the two knobs below the bridge are for the FF, and I THINK the three smaller knobs near the output jack are tone, piezo volume, and phaser? maybe musecasters knows.

rust_relic Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm pretty sure the 3 smaller knobs on the original was tone, piezo volume and roland volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Speaking of the Roland, I was thinking about that recently. I was watching a video with it on YouTube (I think it was the MB-1/Parker Fly review, the latter of which has it) and I didn't realise just how versatile it was, replicating sounds from brass instruments, wind instruments, key instruments, percussion instruments even...Pretty cool...I assume that the effects themselves are made by the external thing that the pickup is connected to, but I don't know what that is...But can that only be achieved with that Roland MIDI pickup, or are there effects pedals and stuff without it that can do it on their own?

Yeah, they are made by the external roland pedal board. Matt used the VG-8 I think. I'm not sure if there are individual pedals which can do the same thing if that's what you mean. I've never seen pedals that can emulate the sounds of a trumpet though...I'll never be able to play darkshines I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well I think this : : is the video I meant...So basically if I wanted to make the guitar sound like a tuba or xylophone or anything else like that, I'd need the Roland MIDI pickup? There's no other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 you could use the ghost hexaphonic circuit with the piezo saddles. that sets them up for use with synth effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
