Dramatic Hammer Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I use a M-Audio Profire 610 and it's absolutely find for live use and I imagine I'm running more things than yourself. There's the 410 if you don't need digital I/O, Pro Tools and not as good pres. Haha dunno about that, we just lost a singer and half a sampler-man!

Dramatic Hammer Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 erroneous! you lost your singer? What will you do? a) cover it between us b) use the recordings we have as samples c) find someone else a) and b) require a lot of work and a substantial move even further towards doing a dance set and c) is fraught with danger... I actually think a combination of all three would be best, depending on the occasion! a) with b) for the club sets and c) for the stupid rock sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 fucking musicians You can probably replace him with a whammy or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic Hammer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 fucking musicians You can probably replace him with a whammy or two. That's a bit strong, he was only the singer! It was whammying that got him in trouble in the first place - girlfriend is having twins so he wants to settle down and start a family... Half a sampler-man? You've still got a drummer & bassist and stuff, I'm all alone hold me He wants to gig part-time, which essentially means never because I'm not writing two different sets for each gig At the moment it's me on guitar/synth, a bass player, a drummer and cubase on everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic Hammer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yeah, it's not a smart move to work around whoever might be available at the time. No, especially when he does very little that can't be automated and takes up car/stage space! It's a bit gay having to be so mercenary about it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffitv3 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hey does anybody know if there is a synth out there that can slide between notes like a Ondes Martenot. It looked like Matt was using something like this on the Making of the resistance for the song resistance. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkybar=] Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 ive asked this question a million times over, with little conclusion in my head vox ac30, using a tele and a godin (ssh), trying to find a nice 'phat' sounding distortion, so that in a band just with bass and guitar my guitar with sound thiick. atm ive got a boss overdrive/distortion, which is alright, just sounds a bit thin, and a boss heavy metal, which sounds thicker but is just way too...metally i also have a fuzz, but thats very hard to implement easily live, seen the big muff w/wicker but is it fuzz or distortion? tl;dr phat distortion needed, not playing metallica.

Marshall Jackhammer!! You should be able to get a decent sound with what you have. You'll need the tele on the middle pup position. Try the boss HM with the gain quite low and play with the EQ. Perhaps cascading the two pedals would give a good sound? On your amp what are your EQ settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your amp what are your EQ settings? isnt the jackhammer quite metal-esque? okk ill try that, although the pedal has a known fault where the gain doesnt change from 10-2 o clock. Whenever i cascade them i just get a high as hell scream from the feedback. on my amp i have bass around 2 o clock, treble around 11 and cut at around 2 o clock, its quite a trebley amp though anyway, its one of the 1990 models. edit: just saw a demo of a jackhammer, lots of people say it sounds quite thin? i was looking at a suhr riot pedal, blackstar ht-dual, stuff like that, not aimed at people that play metal, but marshall-y rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one-trick pony for Marshall crunch only and like a Marshall, doesn't like being quiet. The more you push the front end, the more distortion you get at lower levels... Not with non-MV amps, they just get louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with non-MV amps, they just get louder. yeah i can see it being like that, much liek the fuzz factory... and yeah, for the treble booster you cant put it straight onto a clean channel, which is what im looking for, cause i can get that at respectable levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
