james90 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Am I missing something...? Why the fuck is he playing a guitar upside down strings and all? left handed people do that sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Never saw this one before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DV4nLKDOtM Jaicen, what patch on the VG-8 does that sub octave one at the end of the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 No idea mate, sounds more like a Blue Box. The vg8 subs 're all pretty polite sounding, not. Like that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customized patch maybe? I think the blue box sounds a bit too polite compared to that even. Here's another one from the same show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoB1DVWBe0Q 3:31 What's interesting is that the soldano seems to be on the clean channel during that, and the marshall... that might be the main distorted sound, but he's not going to get a 'modern' high gain sound out of it (it looks like an early 80's vertical input JCM 800 2203/2204 ) only other amp is the JC120 (?) but I assume that's just being fed the signal from the other amps, but with delay added in (wet/dry setup or whatever) a bit stumped really. I had a picture of his pedalboard from around that time, and there wasn't much besides that homemade channel switcher and the VG-8. Certainly no octave pedals or anything like that - the whammy wasn't even added at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks son, you just saved me $89.25 on some pedals that I wasn't even planning to buy. I just got nice discounts on a JHS Twin Twelve and an EQD Ghost Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Could be the bass? Nah I'm certain it's the guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okVKReyxG-I 17:25 he switches the effect on and off. I also think he has two different effects that are run at once... there's the sub octave effect, but also a mid boost that's pretty obvious in the uno video above. Also here, around 5:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcZYZFPi5L4 Looks like it could be two separate pedals though, but I still don't think he had the EQ on his board at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I just got nice discounts on a JHS Twin Twelve and an EQD Ghost Echo. Wait, is JHS making a peddle based on the jack white amp? I bought the basic audio scarab deluxe fuzz, and the cusack subfuzz octave fuzz (hopefully this one isn't as glitchy as that other one I had) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy from Colony House uses one, so. Huh. I've heard of both of those but never played either. I have a Cusack trem though, and it's great.

james90 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2BKwTGeleg http://shootout.fm/ interesting. Did you see this Jim? They have a section for delay pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a section for delay pedals Huh. Seems like it will never be able to be variable enough to give everyone what they're looking for, especially if it's in sound clips rather than a full-length demo. Actually, it just seems really ineffective to me. Kinda like when PGS had the thing where they modeled effects that you could play your guitar through online or something? I can't even remember now. Except blind mode. That seems pretty interesting. But honestly, there's just no substitute for playing things yourself. Taste and playing style are too individual. TL;DR: I'm not psyched about it.

james90 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You forgot to mention that tone is subjective. I think it's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how it will work out. The main thing is that you're stuck using one setting on the pedals from what I can tell, although you can use different guitars and styles of playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can get one pretty cheap at hobby shops and stuff. There's loads at places like Hobby Lobby and Sears (hobby shop/hardware store). Not sure what the across-the-pond equivalent would be, but I'm sure it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm just wondering whether I should just get a cheap one or if it's worth spending a little more on a more decent one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Would like to get into soldering guitar stuff. Any good affordable soldering iron (kits?) I should look at? Buy a soldering station, they don't need to be expensive, but variable temperature, a sponge for cleaning and changeable tips means you will never really have to buy another one again, they should only be a tenner more too but can honestly save so much frustration. And don't go gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I second the solder station, though I don't use them, they're really good for accurate temp control which is useful when you're starting out, you're less likely to burn something up. Personally, I use a 14w Maplin iron with a fine tip. I've been soldering for over 15 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 James, I just got a copy of that Uno performance from 'the other site Slightly better quality vid, I would guess its the bass model through a distorted amp patch. string separation is too good to be whammy/blue box etc, so definitely the VG8.

Personally, I use a 14w Maplin iron with a fine tip. I've been soldering for over 15 years though. I don't use them, but I have a 35 watt iron. Is that too much? I've used the same kind for a few years now, and haven't had any issues with it frying anything. James, I just got a copy of that Uno performance from 'the other site Slightly better quality vid, I would guess its the bass model through a distorted amp patch. string separation is too good to be whammy/blue box etc, so definitely the VG8. Yeah that makes sense. I have a feeling I'm going to spend most of today messing around with the VG-8 patches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I made a demo of what I think is the closest I've ever gotten to Homme tone. Pretty proud of it [soundcloud]https://soundcloud.com/l0ngan/homme-tone[/soundcloud] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a major breakthrough recently as well My modded Strat->Fulltone Bassdrive->My Marshall MG15 Changes in tone came from either changing with pickup I was using or turning on the boost on the pedal.

And I'll upload a clip shortly, but it's amazing how it was right in front of me all along and I just wasn't trying hard enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
