Crowella Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I really would like to know too. So bump de bump. Being bored tonight, I've been searching the net and I may have a source to one pretty cheap (Say around $200). I'll have to see how to go about it when I arrive back in Australia but if I can get it, I'll play around with it sound wise and then probably tear it to pieces to make a schematic of it Edited October 1, 2012 by Crowella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pedal is like the last "mystic" stuff out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 so was human gear bought by some german guys? and the animato clone i have really sounds horrible with guitar. in a bad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travisx2112 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Any news on this?? Well, I got it. Shane Goodwin wasn't joking when he said that that yellow box "is Chris' tone." Needs to be blended with another signal with low end still in it, but it's awesome. Definetly worth it, if that's what your looking for. Think a bit of the HAARP tone. Hyper Music and Bliss are what it can acheive very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) This is awesome to hear. I'm assuming you've clean blended it? Also majorly jealous. I can't figure out why the pedal is so mysterious but I may have a guess at what the switch does. I think it's possibly a switch between two (similar, but not same) diodes. It'll explain why it does so little but appear 'important'. Diodes can change the clipping sound but usually not too much. Just a silly guess. Anyway, I do want to try and make a schematic for it. I think it's a pedal that's been hidden for way too long and in the right use is a bassists dream pedal. Now that it's unaffordable for most people, think it's due.

muse59200 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 so was human gear bought by some german guys? and the animato clone i have really sounds horrible with guitar. in a bad way. Is it the italian clone on ebay ? I have it too, and it sounds great on guitar, a very big sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well, from what I heard I don't like that one for bass... it was too fuzzy (kaputsport's demo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it too, and it sounds great on guitar, a very big sound. nah, some guy in the UK made it apparently. do you have any sound clips of the italian clone? it's this one isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVR0W7q3hZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm really contemplating buying the real deal... but it'd mean buying a LS2 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Alright, so I've found one I can get over here for... $389. That's almost got me tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 has anyone got a link to a good sample of this un-blended, un-EQ'd, un-compressed? I really want to hear what it's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 One of the videos in this thread surely is just a straight sample? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to hear what it's doing 2 minutes into the video I posted above. He's A/B-ing it with the clone, but you can hear what the real one sounds like anyway there's also this FA5rLtpWXgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I don't like that demo; the sound seems coloured for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I don't like that demo; the sound seems coloured for some reason. My fear is with that demo, is that we know what sound we want to achieve, then we get this 'coloured' sound, get put off the pedal and don't try it ourselves. I like it in that demo, in a weird way. Damn, now I REALLY want this pedlol. They are still in production thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travisx2112 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah that demo sucks. I'll post some clips at some point here in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braun Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) http://zvex.com/mammoth.html and what ? This is false : Live Chris uses a Woolly Mammoth with a clean signal blended in. Chris never used WoollyM in live and studio before 2009, before Resistance. And it is not used for TIRO. That's because it was something else We tried for ages to get the right bass sound. Some of the things we tried were quite ridiculous. We tried flangers, acoustic basses, dubbing with phasers, you name it, but it still wasn't happening. One day Matt was fooling around with a JP 8000 synth and started getting this portamento vibe going (mimes track intro). So we recorded that and I put down a horrendously subby bassline using the pedulla and when we put them together it made a weird, buzzy,disgusting kinda noise and that's what we used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZMnwwAqa_Q?t=2m54s there's also this FA5rLtpWXgo Posted in the first page, DI Demo but "doesn't do the sound justice" or "colored" ... ...Obviously, it's better with a Rapture and a DBS stack Edited October 4, 2012 by Braun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'd say it has to do with some obscure gear choices. There was some nice basses in that demo. DI demos are odd. Considering you usually flood your tone with amp, eq, other pedlols, it's almost not going to represent much. Anything will sound good through a DBS stack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braun Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Anything will sound good through a DBS stack Yeah.. .. I approve that For the Animato, To be honest, I don't like these kind of distortions for bass, too much noise (metallic, frets). Animato is very expensive, there must be a lot better elsewhere for less. I prefer fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergeykarakich Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Is it original Animato or just a copy? http://www.humangear.net/productdetails-en/category/human-gear-effects/article/human-gear-animato.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 As far as we know (we don't know much) it's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Okay, I've decided rather than clutter up the Recent Purchases thread, I'll post here. So an Animato fell into my hands today. After band practice tonight I can say it's definitely a keeper. We tried it on guitar first. No. Just. No. On bass however with a LS-2 it was freaking sweet, with the dist and tone knobs at about 1 o'clock. It seems to have a really nice high end and keeps some body with the tone knob down and with the hot pickups, has quite a lot of distortion. I'm just going to stick it all in an imgur folder and describe it as I go along. I'm going to take some voltage values tonight when I get a chance. http://imgur.com/a/zLnM9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
