cheddatom Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 You can hear it all mic'd up in this track... sorry, that's not the track I thought it was. I'll do samples at some point soon, but like I say, I much prefer to work with a DI. Even though I love the guitar amp live, micing it brings all sorts of problems, and I can get the same effect by using two channels of DI in cubase.

james90 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 That MA-2 is amazing, blue gliter FTW and the Shatter ....So much win Thanks And that's a different guitar, which is called the crackle glow. it was originally a tele style with a silver finish, but it was a bit boring that way The paint is starting to chip on the back in several places, but I sort of like how it looks This is the shatter the spec is pretty similar, but it doesn't have a piezo and doesn't light up edit: damn it, i had a reply typed up for cheddatom and copying that link deleted it i was basically going to ask if you're familiar with slaving amps, and if that would do something similar to what you're describing like running a bass into a high power amp (OR120 in this case) which is then slaved into something smaller that will distort earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygator Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 nice board andy. What's the black pedal with two footswitches on in the bottom left? Thanks! It's a prototype version of the This1smyne Pearl. It was a pedal that was supposed to be like a Menatone Fish Factory, but then it ended up being something different. One half is a sorta cranked marshall distortion and the other is a really nice, open overdrive. Similar to my OCD, but with more bite. What is that black (and white) pedal between the tuner and the ekko? And why 3 delays? That's a Mr. Black Supermoon. It's a reverb that I'm borrowing from a friend right now. I used to hate reverb on my amp, so I faked it with the ekko 616. It's set to a really subtle slapback and it's on pretty much all the time. I always liked that sound better than reverb. But my friend convinced me to try the supermoon and I'm actually really enjoying it. I might buy one sometime next year and quit doing the slapback thing. So that kinda answers why the three delays. I actually don't use a ton of delay, but they all have a completely different purpose. The ekko 616 is my fake reverb, the e600 is a dark analog delay that I use as my main delay. Nice and dark and thickening. The dd5 is way brighter and I can use it for rhymthic delay (though I really don't use it much). you can never have too many delays. I have a DD-20 with 5 settings, a marshall echohead with another, and an analogue delay, so equivalent to 7 delay pedals. ^ yes. Haha. My friend who lent me the supermoon has a dd20, a timefactor, an el capistan, a timeline, a JHS panther, a dd5, and probably several more that I can't think of off the top of my head... haha. Makes me feel like three simple delays is really not excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 That picture makes me want to rage-quit this thread right now. Want. One question though, do they actually play like £3500 guitars? Given that they're manufactured overseas and 'assembled' at Mansons?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 NOT ON THE WALL HANGERS nice And it's just the MA and E series that are manufactured outside of the UK. Apparently the bodies and necks for the MB-1s are just CNC'd somewhere else in the UK, but not at Mansons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they're manufactured overseas and 'assembled' at Mansons?? For MB-1, it's just a super fun guitar to play with, I opted to rock a kaossilator instead of kaoss pad 3 and use it in an ungodly amount of jams and songs, the setup and MBK pickups of the guitar help greatly on the guitar too, but yeah, still expensive material and parts here Manson Works #10 is hand built by Hugh, currently enjoying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 james can I have your shatter please thanks. Sure, but if you take the tele as well... there's that 2 for 001 deal I think? There's something about that guitar though. Even though I've had it longer than any of my other guitars, every time I pick it up I want to play it until my fingers fall off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really loving the cleans on the MBK-1 neck pup. Neck needs some getting used to as it's softer than the MB-1 but a couple of days and ill get used to it. Slab body is fun! hurts but hopefully ill be standing up more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'll take both. Done deal. KnT hi-5 seals the deal Hopefully that delay pedal will be there soon, getting nervous about that pedal I sent ihasamanson. Still hasn't turned up after a month! And at least you're prepared for that mirror custom Bob - the flat top DOES dig into your arm, but I suppose the carbon will be a bit more uncomfortable since it doesn't have a ribcage contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with forearm contour, shame there's nothing you can really do with mirror top and double binding guitars, well without making it look silly.

cheddatom Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 i was basically going to ask if you're familiar with slaving amps, and if that would do something similar to what you're describing like running a bass into a high power amp (OR120 in this case) which is then slaved into something smaller that will distort earlier I'm familiar with the concept, but that's not what i'm doing. All my tone comes from the board. The only reason I run a guitar amp aswell is because I need a big boost in the upper mids which I just can't get from my bass amp (or many other bass amps i've tried). I'd rather have a full range PA but that would be excessive, even for a bassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don'tPostThePear Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I love it when you talk like that, Pear do it some more. I did but i lost half of that post due to getting auto-logged-out during a quick edit. I almost delivered enough material for a whole Part II. of your (un)Worthy Mods themed vid in a single post.
