reverendmaynard Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 What are you on about? The stab and comp is all matt ever does anyway. yeah and i can't get them to do what he's doing. i hope the vexter style isn't faulty i just wanted to get the pitch shifting sound so i can put it with my delay.. wah maybe some flange etc..

haze015 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 i just picked up the vexter series today.. i kept trying to get different tones from it.. it's hard to figure out but it seems like it's easier with 2 people. i tried doing the whole oscillate thing but i couldn't get it going. all i could get was what sounded like matt before PIB during earl's court. that annoying sound unlike the original he always does. any suggestions on doing say... using the stab.. and comp to make it "pitch-shift" i want to use my delay with it. thanks i.e your stab control is fucked or your not olding the strings while youpiss aroynd with it. drive should always be half wih no gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 haha wish that was my problem, mine just sounds like shit these days, full stop! i hope the new stab pot sorts all those problems out, its taking long enough to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palo Alto Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 why does everyone's fuzz factory sound shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendmaynard Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 anyone know if the silver manson has the vol, gate and drive settings all set inside the guitar. right now i have vol up a little, no gate, and drive at 12 oclock. i used my delay to make the oscillating sound but does it keep oscillating once you stop picking. that's normal right? also why would matt use the comp control too? stab's so much better.

no3chris Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 he uses the comp for somthing different , the ff isnt all about shit noises lol... dunno why everyones ff are fucked, must of beed a dodgy line of them mine is fine but its 5 years old now, perfect condition tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkaa Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Mines doesnt sound like shit either, my stab pot is fucked up but thats about it , i love my ff (not the stab pot though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 hmmm my stab pot is really noisey and the whole FF has become just noisey when i play, the battery's pretty new but maybe i need to change it AGAIN! grr, ah well hopefully it'll all be good...

haze015 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Maybe you should try leaving the battery in for a while. Also what setup are you using, how loud etc? Might just be your getting feedback aswell as FF oscillation, try holding the strings while you use the stab control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 i'm not playing very loudly, my strat is shielded and hardly feeds back at all unless i'm trying for feedback, the battery has been in a month or so, its not even the oscillation, i don't really care about that, its just general noisey rattling kinda sounds in the background when i play, not sure if its just picking up a lot of picking noise from my pick... maybe my pick-up is too close to the strings... i'm using a ibanez rgr370dx (i think thats what it is haha can't remember the number stuff off hand) a mex strat a laney 65W solid state amp, a DOD EQ both guitars have MM motherbuckers on the bridge, the noise is the same on all pick ups on both guitars. thats with all other electrical devices in my room turned off aswell. on the plus side i had a mail from Zvex repairs, they forgot to send the pot but they are sending it tomorrow sorry for such a long post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Maybe your pickup isn't wired properly. Or is it active? And the FF is generally noisy I think, not too sure, as my Fuzz Probe has a nice aluminium plate to prevent it from picking up floor noise or something The FF doesn't have that.

Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 ok so i've been messing with my fuzz factory tonight and i've realised (apart from the stab movement) its not so bad, the only thing is it sounds a bit harsh to the ear with the stab maxed, so i drop the stab and its a nice smooth fuzz, but then it starts oscillating like a bitch (yeah i know thats what the fuzz factory does) so i bring up the comp to cancel out the oscillation and i want to keep the same smooth fuzz as before but then once the comp is up enough to stop the oscillation its a real decaying crackley fuzz... my question is does anyone have a good setting for nice smooth fuzz without oscillation or a setting where the oscillation is easily drowned out by the actually playing because i'm not a huge fan of the oscillating to be honest...

Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 no my pickups are wired fine, its the same even with the standard pick ups and everything, no they aren't active either... its pretty strange, on the demo video's etc and for instance the clips Jaicen posted on the home made thread, his fuzz doesn't have the same harsh edge as mine but there doesn't seem to be any oscillation either...

You'll never get it, if you want that sound, you should have bought a Big Muff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 noooooo dammit, i keep looking at big muffs and thinking yeah but i shouldn't spend more money on pedals... surely the FF can do something like the big muff... using the groove as an example (and no i don't just wanna be matt ) he has a nice smooth FF sound there without the oscillation, thats the sort of thing i'm looking for. theres some stuff where the harsh high gain is cool, but i like the lower gain smooth fuzz but the oscillation seems to over power my guitars sound...

He does the whole using the comp to gate the sound thing. I don't get how you could have a problem with it, it sustains for an age before it goes nuts.

Phill Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 hmm yeah i think thats how mine used to be but now it seems to oscillate the whole time over the guitar playing also. maybe its something to do with the battery... damn buying a big box of cheap batteries off ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
