Manson Signature Guitars DL-1 (Delorean)

Recommended Posts

I think the phaser speed must be on the front, I had a version of PIB from 2001 maybe 02 from Italy and during the verse he was using the phaser to speed up the FF oscilation, That would of been awkward to do if the control was at the back of the guitar, but having said that my guitar mag from 2001 says its at the back :/

 

Is it this?

Edit: DL-1 has no forearm contour anymore, so mirroring would be easy...hmm :awesome:

ok I found something very similar on the pig baby live version on the new born cd single, cant tell if its phaser or not but I can do something very similar with my ff and phaser, listen to the second verse ftp://ftp2.microcuts.net/microcuts/08/05/03/01/19.02.2001%20-%20Paradiso,%20BBC%20radio,%20Show%20biz%20-%20MP3/06%20-%20Muse%20-%20Plug%20In%20Baby%20%28Live%20At%20Paradiso%2012-04-2001%29%20-%20Show%20Biz.mp3

yeah does sound like it, im gonna have to give up, cant find it anywhere, must of been the mxr as I could hear the wah type sound from it, oh well. If I had a phaser built in id want the speed on the front of the guitar like that guy from Soundgarden?

 

Tbh it was prob kill switch + mxr on normal speed setting, didnt know u could make it sound that fast with it

sure its def kill switch? sounds too fast in places

 

strange, i'm not sure in that case. and yeah, check the second verse in that video i just posted - same noise and you can see what he's doing

having the mxr built into the Delorean that way seems totally pointless imo, why have the speed at the back where u cant change it mid song? The whole point of the ff built in was to control the oscilation from the guitar instead of bending down, the only advantage of the mxr is being able to turn the effect on & off at the guitar

yeah, though i thought it had something to do with the order they were in. the MXR didn't sound good after the FF or something.

 

but i can't tell how they're wired up from that picture, so i might be wrong

No.

 

He probably had the delorean built with a FF and phaser because plug in baby uses both of those effects.

 

Same with the mirror, which has been used for that song since the end of 2004.

I kinda want to convert a DL-1 to that, just because it's always been my favorite :happy:

Wouldn't really be too hard, would it?

 

you'd probably have to leave the back and headstock painted though, but i'm not sure.

 

adding a mirrored top isn't that cheap. not sure if i'm going to do it at this point with my tele, but we'll see...

dunno why mirror topping is expensive... acrylic is dirt cheap and it's pretty easy to do.. apart from the edges... i agree with Jim - the earls court is awesome. @james i meant the bomber has a ff but not a phaser. i think it's coz matt doesn't like stomp boxes that he has it in his guitar :LOL: no, really, he uses wahs and whammys but not many stomps... :ninja:

If making a guitar from scratch then mirror topping is easy, but with a guitar that's already finished it'd be a lot of hassle. Some people would do it fairly cheap but unless they make it worth their while I'm sure mansons would rather not do it.

Yeah, it requires taking some wood off the top. Sounded like they were willing to do it to my tele, but that's for the top only. I'm probably going to do it at some point though.

 

And the guitar is a painted flat top guitar, so it would be easier than mirroring a DL-1.
