Dominic. Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I actually tried that on an old one the other day (wouldn't dare do it to one I actually use) It came off with some naphtha, which as far as I know, is the same as lighter fluid. Having said that, the logo was a bit worn and 'crackly' to begin with, so I don't know if that makes a difference in how easily it comes off What were the end results like? Leave any marks or was it all fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It could have been a bit neater. That's where the logo was, and while it came off, a fair bit of dye also came off and got onto the stitching as well. As for marks, it did mess up the texture (?) of the strap a bit. You can tell something was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell something was there. Was it where the light's shining on? Seems decent enough, I can't quite see where it was. Might try it then swap the strap around on the ol sxc jazz, next time I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Not sure what a fuzz head sounds like, but it's probably the axe fx The fuzz head doesn't really sound that different from any other fuzz face type pedal, and I'm pretty sure that's what he uses for his KP2 rather than guitar. So I doubt it's that. It's more than likely a patch on the axe fx. Probably a custom one though Was it where the light's shining on? Seems decent enough, I can't quite see where it was. Might try it then swap the strap around on the ol sxc jazz, next time I see it Yeah that's where it was. To be honest, the dye going onto the stitching bothers me more than the damage to the material itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbrown Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 does anyone know how you're soppused to adjust the gotoh hap post heights? I tried putting in the hex key into the hole in the bottom and tried turning it clockwise and counter and nothing happens. the screw or whatever inside it just does not bulge. am I missing something here?

jonbrown Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 has Matt been using the whammy DT's octave down + dry setting for a lot of things lately? there's no way he's getting such a bass heavy sound otherwise. if you listen to this outro of stockholm his tone sounds like it's got the whammy DT's octave down + dry setting on this same tone is also used for the handler and reapers live, I've always been assuming its just a patch on the axe fx but now that ive done more research it could be the whammy DT's -1 octave + dry setting maybe? can't be harmony octave down since that sounds different.

james90 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 sounds more like some sort of filter rather than an octave effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Have to admit I also think there is an octave down effect but there is definitely some other filters etc. It sounds so dirty, I've tried replicating it but haven't had any luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbrown Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 what type of effect is Chris/Matt using for SMBH live ever since T2L tour? It's that sexy electrical sounding octave thing during the choruses. It's extremely noticable on the SMBH rome recording. I always thought it was Matt's guitar being ran through something but going by this you can clearly hear it's an effect on Chris's bass when Matt is dicking about with the people on stage. They could both be using the same effect though, because on the Rome recording it's a lot more prominent, since maybe they're using the same effect so it has that nice doubling sound.

Flump Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 this is axe fx synth module I can confirm that for sure. In another thread someone (possibly you) mentioned that the Grand Omega Boss outro was the synth block. Tried it out on the Axe-Fx and its spot on. I haven't quite got the exact texture, but the behavior of the note/glitchiness due to bending and pitch tracking is exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flump Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Clips or its a Soldano. I'll see if I can get a quick one up tonight (tonight Murica central time). Now I kind of want to run the synth block into the axe's Soldano amp sim, its BOTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flump Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 First few notes of the Grand Omega BOOSSSSEEESSS Edit. Axe fx synth block with square wave both the regular tone and an octave down. Ran it through....the Soldano sim. I don't know how to embed the soundcloud link so here's the link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flump Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Here's the same lick without the synth block. I used the pitch shifter to harmonize one octave down. Then it goes into a big muff, then the VH4 channel 3 amp sim. I actually think it sounds a little better but it doesn't have that little glitchiness to it. But, if you have a whammy and a big muff you can pull this sound real easily. I'm not all that familiar with the routing on the hd500 but maybe you can do that in there? The fuzz before the pitch shifter changes the overall sound quite a bit. https://soundcloud.com/dafenz/boss-edit-no-synth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Luke Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I have a Vox AC4C1-12. Anybody have an opinion for an upgraded speaker that is favourable with the Vox tone / effects that Matt uses (ie fuzz factory, fuzz head, tc dark matter)? Everyone says Celestion Blue and indeed that's what the high end Vox's use. But I was thinking I might find a greenback >£50. For reference the stock speaker is Vox VX12 aka Celestion Seventy 80.

Jaicen Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The seventy 80 is a very bright, efficient ceramic. I suspect it would sound very harsh with a class-A EL84Se. I'd say that the blues would be a good choice not sure of the green , or a G12H for a darker sound. Bear in mind that the AC4 sounds nothing at all like an AC30, speaker swaps won't get you closer really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
