rza_008 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 hey did matt actually stick his ff onto the side of his guitar before having it built in? anyone got a pic by any chance? i personally don't find the need to have it built into a guitar or stuck on the side of my guitar, if i want feedback i just alter the volume control, not that fussy really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 The diezel has like four channels, clean, crunch, distortion, MENTAL distortion. The FF sounds really good on a crunch channel, so I can understand that he uses that one. And yeah, I believe he used to stick some of his effects to his guitar before he got the Mansons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicRockStar Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm undecided on whether 2 get a FF or EHX Big Muff. Can d FF give u those great plunging noises matt makes everytime he slides his fingers down the fret board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can d FF give u those great plunging noises matt makes everytime he slides his fingers down the fret board? Yeah, I do that all the time now, it`s a cool tecnique that I got the hang of while using the FF. Now I can do it with almost any distortion. I thought it was a thing that was Matt`s, but it turns out almost all guitarists use that. For me, it`s become a habit now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alysum Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 lol 3 years it's sure the battery PS : you should ask in the FF sticky thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypermusician Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 The batteries only last for 3 years if you unplug the input cable every time you finish using it, and if your cables arent dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 The Vox pathfinder is great, so is the Vox Brian May amp. Or what about an Orange Crush 15W ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citezen Erased Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 so because matt uses his crunch channel do you think i shoud use the line 6 spider 2s crunch(models a marshall plexi, should i use the 100 or 50 watt) with fuzz to get the best sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 That might get you a "matt-ish" sound. A word of advice, bring along your gitar and fuzz to the shop, and try the amp with those. You don`t want to buy the amp, take it home, only to find out it sounds shit with your gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idoldemon Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 my thoughts about ff: sounds different in combination with different guitars,amps some amps make it sound really good,others make it sound really bad thats main problem with it and the reason why i dont use it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alysum Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 I finally got my FF. And my head hurts ! It's the finest sound for plug in baby, all on 7 (clock), increase comp then Stab to get that cool sound But I can't get the right sound for the rest of Muse songs especially Citizen Erased, can't hear the harmonics. Someone suggested the Hi Compression fuzz setting but when I do that at the end of the note sound it goes PrrrBBRRppp like a big fart lol. So what setting should I use for CE ?

I use this one. Volume: Whatever you prefer Gate : 7 Comp : around 3. Just enough to make the hissing go away Drive : 2-3-4 (depends on how much distortion you want) Stab : 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agitatedbells Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 actually he does, the album version is the silver manson tuned down but live he uses amp distortion, so for just one song use that, may as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alysum Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 no that's true Matt doesn't uses his FF for C.E he uses his amp overdrive channel. That's ok cause I have the Jackhammer distorsion. But for songs like Dead star, New Born, etc.. can't get the right sound. What a complicated effect ZVex has made ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 That may be his acoustic pickups or motherbucker. They are a huge part of his sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerpin Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Fuck, the radio noises on my FF have suddenly become very annoying. They werent so apparent before! Is something wrong with it? Maybe it`s faulty cables.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
