Actually I was leaning more towards the Supermassive Black Hole effects live..

Damn. I'm a bit late..

There's an answer in that other thread you made, but what else do you want to know in particular?

 

I think I still have the scans from a few magazines about what amps and guitars he used, but I don't know if any effects were mentioned.

I was looking for more a precise answer. on the thread I made, all I got was fuzz factory. There's a million different settings for the FF, so it didn't help much.

I recently bought a Roland GR-20

Anyone got any cool ideas for what I can do with it?

You won't get precise settings unless Matt himself or any sound engineers and road crew feel like telling us.

 

Fuzz Factories can vary slightly and it's not like you need to be precise with it at all, asking for precise settings just says to me you need to play with it more and understand it better.

The way I worked it out was to copy the approximate squeal range from an old live recording of plug in baby or newborn or something else, I can't remember.

That gives you your drive and gate settings and you just adjust stab and comp for the song... I.e. newborn riff is comp off stab full, pib is stab adjusted to squeal note, blackout solo starts with comp backing off from full, etc.

 

 

Essentially, use your ears

What I mean is, it really doesn't matter too much. Like with PIB, if the pedal is oscillating, it'll do.

Depends how accurate you want to be - not all the oscillating settings will do the note-bending-into-squeal thing and we all know what's important to mini-bellamys

The sound he gets on hullabaloo is cool!

what did matt use for the distortion on the studio version of showbiz, is it an amp or a pedal?

Edited March 19, 2010 by lee-robins

[james90 26]

soldano decatone or matchless dc-30 most likely

 

 

..both of those are amps

[Phil. 10]

sure it wasn't a fuzz factory?

 

 

[lee-robins 10]

was the decatone his main amp in that era?

[james90 26]

pretty much. he used the matchless a lot too, but the soldano was probably for higher gain sounds..

[lee-robins 10]

what wah pedal does he use

[haze015 10]

what wah pedal does he use

 

He has a Wah Probe in his Black Manson, otherwise, hasn't ever had one in his live set up.

[lee-robins 10]

so is it a phaser used live for showbiz?

[teej212 10]

id assume its his phase 90, but what song are you talking about?

[james90 26]

so is it a phaser used live for showbiz?

 

 

 

No.

 

Haze is right, there hasn't been a wah pedal in his setup ever, however, the sound you're referring to is more than likely the roland VG-8
