Guest bshuker Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Matt doesn't have a problem because the FFs are in the guitars, therefore before the wireless system. If you put them after the wireless system, (correct me if i'm wrong anyone who does it) you would have problems with impedence between the guitar and the fuzz! Though saying that surely you could whack a volume pedal before the fuzz, after the wireless and it would work the same?? Anyone wanna enlighten me.

fipoch Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Can anyone help me on this? I never actually knew that pedals are supposed to be lined up correctly ever since I saw this thread. These are my effect pedals.. Boss Os-2 Boss Mt-2 Boss Dd-6 Zvex Fuzz Factory Mxr phase 90 nothing fancy At the moment currently, they are lined up as below: Guitar -> Boss Os-2 -> Mxr Phase 90 -> Zvex Fuzz Factory -> Amplifier The Mt-2 and Boss Dd-6 is new by the way, I just recently bought it Cheers!

I would do: Guitar -> Zvex Fuzz Factory -> Boss MT-2 -> MXR Phase 90 -> Boss OS-2 -> Boss DD-6 -> Amplifier Apart from the phaser, those are basically how you should definitely have it. the phaser is more versatile though, i prefer i more subtle swooshy sound by having my phaser before my overdrive, though you may prefer something different. play around with the order of the MT-2, OS-2, and phase 90 in order to find what order you like best for your sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendmaynard Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 you should just throw the mt-2 out a window because they suck. or if you just bought it you should return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwydav Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 what dont you like about the metal zones? I use it after my fuzz probe.. FX goes FP -> MT-2 -> Dunlop Crybaby -> Whammy -> (and soon to be purchased) Boss DD 20 I think the MT-2 sounds great, although my opinion changed recently as I swapped from my Ibanez back to my fender and the FP just gave SUCH a beautiful sound which shows that EMG really arent that good at making non acive pickups.. but yeah the amount of tone if I can call it that (differenciation of which string is being played.. with the IBZ it sounded like there was a wah wah on and all the strings were muted, and this was with the tone knob all the way on the bright side..) But point is (in any case my metal zone) the mt-2 sounds pretty kewl after the FP if u stick a bright setting on.. cheers david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching_sandwiches Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 you should just throw the mt-2 out a window because they suck. or if you just bought it you should return it. Unless he likes the sound of it in which case he should keep it surely? Or just because you don't like it no one else should? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Anyone want to help me out with my effects order? I'm currently experimenting with with what to use and where. My pedal board consists of (in no particular): Zvex Fuzz Probe Zvex Wah Probe Digitech Whammy Reissue Electro Harmonix Big Muff Digitech Digidelay Line 6 Dl4 Line 6 FM4 Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser Boss Tremolo Ibanez Bass Synth Boss MT-2 Metal Zone (gonna lose once i get an amp with good distortion) Boss PH-3 Phaser (dont really use much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwydav Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 i would say keep the metal zone cuz its great for making noise when mixed ith the fuzz probe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some interesting sounds: Wah Probe, Small Stone (I'm assuming you have a USA made one), Fuzz Probe, Tremolo, FM4, Whammy, Digidelay, Big Muff, Metal Zone, Bass Synth, PH-3, DL4. I could be here all night, Just play around with those, move things around, see what works best there, with that amount of pedals, you can really experiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah I generally just been messing about with them in different orders, just wondered about peoples opinions, cheers haze. By the way, did you get a reverb pedal in the end? If so which one did u go for? I been thinking about getting one since you mentioned them a little while ago. Thanks again for the help.

Ash Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 you should just throw the mt-2 out a window because they suck. or if you just bought it you should return it. That is such bullshit. When I was a younger lad I sold mt MT-2 because of people like you, on this very board I might add. I've since learned to play the tones I enjoy and not what people like you who say their world is right, by all means give your opinion but please don't tell anyone to do anything. Personally I love the MT-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I love the MT-2 then do you want mine? i'm only giving it shit because it's been a piece of shit to me. where i live it was the best thing to have when you were 15 but now that i'm older i realize that the pedal is a big piece of trash. sure some people might get these "awesome tones" when using it with a FF or FP but when i've gigged the thing at my school people were telling me "your distortion sounded like shit" but before that happened i got compliments on the distortion i used (but on my practice amp). so yeah maybe it is a good pedal for but really... the EQ on it sucks (that's why all the scene xXx kids use them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwydav Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 well that sucks for u.. I dont know whats wrong with ur one but mine is great, and eq wise the thing is nearly like a wah pedal with the different eqs u get.. and with the Fuzz probe it just adds that sort of sparkling sound.. great for (i wouldent call it metal but i gues..) metal..

I'm currently waiting for the local Line6 stockists to get the Verbzilla in so I can try it out. Not going to get one until I've tried that. As for the EQ on the MT2 being crap, it's a parametric EQ, not graphic, so it's a little complicated to use, so no, it doesn't suck, you just need to learn how to use it, rather than moan about it. The only thing I found with the Metal Zone is that it sounded a little muffled, but it's not hard to get a good sound out of it if you use the Mid Freq knob properly.

james90 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 ok, as I said in the other thread, I'm building a pedal board...I don't have the slightest idea of what order to put them in. They are... -fuzz pedals (four of them ) -danelectro flanger -danelectro phaser -vox wah -mxr compressor -marshall vibratrem -dod distortion -tuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used a DSL100 with a Strat and a TSL100 and a JCM800 for gigs using my Ibanez. They sound so thin compared to my lovely old Super Bass, which if I use my Rat with it, it's very similar to a Mesa Dual Rec, on the second channel, all EQ controls maxed out, running through a 4x12. Just not muddy like a Mesa. Nor do I have a 4x12, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
