Cider Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 So I ordered a Fender Hiscox case for the Cort off of ebay UK this weekend for about $160. It should get here tomorrow. Really hope it's an actual case, cause UPS tracking says that it's 1kg and for some reasons it takes 2 days to travel from England to here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 How far back were you? There were very few people around me at the NYC show last year with their phones out. Not sure how it was further back, but it seemed like everyone was really into it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoZLUjgc2d4 2:10 I was a couple of rows behind the mosh pit, but I could hardly see a thing as I'm so short and Ll the tall people were at the front. Cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbrown Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Think the "super fuzz" will be a struggle just using the Axe FX. Can have a go at pairing some of the fuzzes on there with the Big Muff and see what happens but not sure I can get that one haha from what I've heard from other people the knights super fuzz that's been used since T2L is purely the axe fx, but don't take my word for it though cause I don't have an axe, only my measley pod hd500x otherwise I would have definitely figured out how to do it by now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely bitched about at the fractal forum. I got pretty close to the sound on my pod with a booster running into a tube screamer into a big muff AFTER the mixer chain. Its close but not close enough. It doesnt have that amazing indescribable clipping and fizzing that bellamy's fuzz has, while retaining the clarity of the notes.

Cider Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yep can do. Will make one later on and upload it on soundcloud. Started from scratch myself with it. Been doing that with a lot of my patches as it makes it easier to really hone the sound properly! Marshall amp and a fuzz is the simple base if I remember correctly, I'll load the patch up on axe edit a little later and list it in detail Yay thanks so much. So, if I want a multi-pedal/ audio interface thing that I can plug into my computer & play, what should I get? Gonna move soon so I don't really want an amp & individual pedals are just expensive.

Gonna move soon so I don't really want an amp & individual pedals are just expensive. Depends on your budget. Kemper and Axe FX are probably the two top of the line ones but they're both a couple of grand each and I wouldn't really recommend them if you're only going to be playing at home.

He probably uses a fuzz on it and then either the fuzz factory or the keeley fuzz head to really boost it and make it have that fizz sound you want.

Something $300 would probably be too much, tbh It'll be tough to find something decent that works as both an amp modulator and effects modulator for that cheap to be honest. An amp eleven I guess could work but you'd still have to buy Pro Tools or Logic or something like that to hear it (as far as I'm aware anyways) and that's a couple hundred dollars in itself. Amp & pedals is kinda the cheapest way if you know where to look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things seem to sound pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hm, what if I don't care how loud it is since I always use headphones anyway? As long as it simulates effects & stuffz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it simulates effects & stuffz It's not about how loud it is, it's the fact that you actually need software like Logic, Pro Tools, Guitar Rig etc to be able to hear it played over a laptop. Effects/amps modulators aren't just a plug and play thing really. Like was said before a used Pod HD500X or Eleven Rack would be the cheapest thing out there but then you'd still have to purchase a software.

The Avid Rack new is like $550 and comes with a perpetual license for ProTools, while the Line 6 POD UX1 is $150 comes with PODfarm or whatever. I'm assuming ProTools is more popular? Also, where's that MBK-3 clean sample Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could kind of describe the difference between the 2 and 3 to me that would be great. Or maybe do the same songs with both perhaps Anyway, I got the Hiscox case today! Packaging was weird - the box was basically open (probably customs or whatever) but the case was intact. It's actually much lighter than my Gibson TKL case, and I like how secure the latches feel. And it closes all the way (nitpicking but there's a thinnn gap on the Gibson case - might be a problem with future temp change & moving). Still amazed with the price and shipping speed. Shipped Monday, got here Wednesday, paid $160 something for it all. Maybe I should buy an extra one for reserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Will try get a demo done tonight anything specific you want me to demo about it? Woo, thank you so much! I'd love to hear common riffs (PiB, MK Ultra, CE & the likes) clean & distorted so I could tell the difference. If you're free you should do the MBK-2 as well *puppy face* James has an MBK-3 he'll sell me (I hope), but idk if I should get a 2 as well.

Stocking Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If you could kind of describe the difference between the 2 and 3 to me that would be great Anyway, I got the Hiscox case today! Liking the case, I'm a fan of rectangle cases myself, so I'm gonna see if I won't jus tbuy one of those for around 50-60 bucks and put subtle anime references on it:p As for the MBK-2 and 3 I recommend checking out clips for the Bare Knuckle Nailbomb and the Aftermath ( respectively) I'm 99% sure the Manson versions are those pickups, maybe ever so slightly different ( if at all) and with a Manson cover. My friend who's worked with Bare Knuckle and has been trying to get me to take a pair of Holy Divers off his hands (which I just might) has told me they're really similar. also did you check out the Lace Sensor HG-1500? I remember linking some neck single coil sized pickups to you, but I can't seem to recall if you wanted it to be a humbucker or just wanted it not to hum in general.

Jaicen Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The Holy Diver, is not constructed anything like either of the MBK pickups. It's wound with 44AWG wire, so in theory for the same mV output level would produce a darker pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
