Cider Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Can anyone show me their presets for Muse stuff on your HD500? I have a Firehawk, which cannot download user tones created with the HD500, but if I know what goes into the presets I can copy them myself. Can't seem to download the tones and open them up on my computer without owning an HD either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabadanOscar Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What do you think of the MXR Distortion + or BOSS OS-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhaggart Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just thought I'd contribute a good sound I've managed to find for SMBH Live. To achieve the tight fuzz kind of sound, I'm using a Fuzz Factory, set at 2:30, 2:45, 5:00, 10:00, run through a distortion pedal at full drive, and tone at about 1:00. This of course is open to alterations based on your pickups/amp etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhaggart Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What do you think of the MXR Distortion + or BOSS OS-2? I recently bought the boss os-2 and personally am loving it. It can achieve a wide range of sounds from full blown distortion to more blues style overdrives. Tones that sound great on all pickup selections are available, and its a very affordable pedal too.

Thank you! I was interested in the MXR Distortion + but someone tell me to buy the Boss-OS2. I will check some reviews, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Other than their delay pedals, Boss pedals are wank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhaggart Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Other than their delay pedals, Boss pedals are wank Well with the OS-2 as my only boss pedal, I cant say that that statement is wholly false, but I think its unfair to say that theyre all crap apart from delay. For the price, you really cant do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've owned a whole bunch previously and just never got on with them. Still own their RC-30 Looper but I don't really use it anymore. I just find their distortion pedals really thin and their modulation pedals just don't do enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Guys, I have a question about the tone of Eternally Missed - is there a Phaser or Whammy in the solo? It sounds to me like there's a phaser-ish sound but I don't know effects enough to tell. Btw, I set my FF at 10 2:30 3:15 5 5 and I think the Fuzz sounds pretty close?

I'm fairly certain there's no whammy action in the solo, but there does seem to be a phaser going on, though only with a low amplitude (i.e., it only affects the guitar signal slightly).

Thanks Cyndris. I'm still not sure how to control the phaser on the line 6. Do i set the mix and feedback so low that there's no squealing/ flapping back sounds?

wriinkly feet Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 has anyone got any recommendations on how to achieve a similar guitar tone to Matt's around the absolution period? specifically this performance. Sounds like a lot of wah but using my cry baby makes the wah to intense. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Your question is a little vague. Which part of the tone are you aiming for specifically. Since you mentioned the wah, I assume it's that part you want. Matt's guitar has a Wah Probe built in, which is basically a Colorsound Wah with a proximitiy controller. Any inductorless wah should work for that tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flump Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't think he's actually using the wah probe there. It sound like a phaser to me. For his tone, humbucker guitar into Diezel amp. That's pretty much the bulk of it. For the parts mentioned where it sounds "wah-y" I'm sticking with it being a phaser and not a wah. Similar to a Mike Einziger vibe on the intro to Vitamin except with a shitload of distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Wah probe is on at 0:10 then around 3:40 but not modulated. As unsaid its not clear what tone exactly is required. The majority of the song is phase 90 into a dirty amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wriinkly feet Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think the link I posted probably isn't the best example for the sound I'm after. This performance is probably the best. Around 39 seconds to be specific. Digging around online I think an auto-wah pedal might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was always a bit surprised at the sound around ~2:00. As if the speakers were set in a large swimming pool for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just going to want either a regular wah pedal, or a nice eq pedal that you can use as a bandpass filter. Wah pedals are just movable bandpass filters anyway. That sound comes from a huge boost in a specific frequency. Get a wah pedal, turn it on, leave it in one position. Also known as a cocked wah sound.

Very uncommon for EQ pedals to be capable of bandpass filtering, its rare enough outside of EQ plugins. But yeah, wah or filter pedals and auto-wahs are also capable of fixed wah sounds and a bit more ideal for it than normal wah pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of commercial graphic eq pedals use a series of bandpass filters, with fixed centre frequencies and resonance. They are terrible in terms of phase shift where the frequency bands overlap. With a guitar it's not that notocable but for high end audio it's unacceptable. That's why they're uncommon in modern studios, usually reserved for specialist applications like kick drum eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
