heyjackk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It's just whammy up 2 octaves with a bit of reverb and delay innit? Probably works as well but the synth sound I used on the Axe-fx sounded really good for it, gave it a much smoother sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbrown Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Probably works as well but the synth sound I used on the Axe-fx sounded really good for it, gave it a much smoother sound haha, all this talk about synth effects and my pod can't even compare to the axe's synth block. but still, I'm surprised by how close it can get with a little tweaking... and for 2000$ less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerd herd Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Or VG-8? Unless he'd stopped using it by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Vg8 was used for some tv appearances prior to the release of OoS, I don't think it was seen again once the tour started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flump Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 That sounds like Chris to me, not Matt. Especially since the guitar seems to come in with the Cave while the 1st sound is slightly still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 and yeah it's definitely Matt. I wouldn't mind knowing what patch/settings on the VG-8 that is... sounds just as good or better as the one he's using now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 What do you guys think about the LINE 6 Firehawk FX? It's pretty much Firehawk vs HD500X for me, and for some reasons the Firehawk sounds simpler and easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocking Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ordering a programmable looper today, decided to wait on the sustainiac as my check wasn't as big as I hoped....though I gotta admit I was tempted. I'm excited to basically make presets with the pedals I already have and to stop tap dancing What do you guys think about the LINE 6 Firehawk FX? The sound quality is garbo to me, but if you can weasel a good sound out of it, I don't think it'd be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroya Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My guitar has been out of action for a few months, just managed to start the progress of fixing it, and seems pretty well so far. Just need to let the new springs settle in and will but the screws back in for the locking tuners and then another few days to use the whammy again. :love::love::love::love: Not very good at staying in tune at the moment, but surprisingly holds drop D better than standard E tuning.

james90 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That could be why we know nothing... Troy does, that'll work Will it though? Just the other day I was mentioning to someone how no one ever tries to copy Troy's sound. Maybe if we tweeted him, he'd even tell us what he uses. He's not nearly as secretive about his setup it seems. James James is this Matt Bellami's? Yeah that's the one, just blue rather than yellow.

Stocking Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I thought it used the same HD algorithms as the HD500X? Does it? I heard some samples from NAMM (Not sure if that's a good enough example) and I thought it sounded awful. I'm biased against MOST multi-fx units however, aside from kemper/Axe-FX/Helix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbrown Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've actually already practically nailed this one previously! Love it as well. Fuzz, phaser, octave down on the whammy DT. I'll upload a sound clip soon! EDIT: By soon I mean in the coming days because my definition of soon is rubbish Did you manage to record a clip of that SMBH toanz? I've tried it with my pod, 3 big muffs with 2 tube screamers in between, right before the last big muff in the chain. Got a whammy 5 in the fx loop at the beginning, with a phaser right in front of that into a noise gate and into the rest of the pedal chain. Is there a noticable sound difference between the DT and 5's octave down setting? Because I can't seem to get that nice, smooth "drop" sound when MB does the bend into the verse build up. I'm assuming the electronic synth ping you hear during the chorus is also attributed to the DT's octave down yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark's voice sounds more eerie (or whatever) than usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK0WDolJ6vc that intro jam The moment when you see Josh Homme playing through an old Marshall.

Haven't got round to it yet, I'm still trying to get it sounding a little more synthy. I've gotten very close but I want to be able to do it with just the Axe Fx so I don't have to worry about the Whammy as much I've not used a whammy 5 so i can't answer that sorry! I went from a IV to a DT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
