wicked.

When you use the pedal, does your amp have the same tone without the pedal? Like, the reverb pedal doesnt lessen the tone of your amp does it?

i didn't notice any change,i think the tone was the same, but if it did the tone knob on the pedal could make up for it easily(it was on full during the recording,all 3 knobs were)

also i was playing through the shittiest amp possible into a computer mic, so it will sound much better in real life with a decent amp

Word son, thanks.

But by tone I meant like the amp quality. Not the setting of treble, bass, mid etc.

this amp is truly shit, treblebassmid settings don't exist on it lol

the reactable is awesome

why the shotgun? and the shot is only about $1400us. i never have much use for them in live work are you doing some films etc?

I can understand the 414 i prefer the old model pre digital switching of polar pattern and roll off etc. they are beautiful on pianos if you have enough room between the piano and the pa, they are also wonderful overheads. great on choirs, acoustic guits, violins etc.

yeah, the shotgun as a boom mic for films!
the 414 for studio voiceovers

this is a kinda dream wish list though. i have to settle for various audio-technicas and a sony until i get some real money. which is slated for a new macbook pro come the next revision.

I'd love to have a Frankenbox

Sounds like you've got a bad big muff or something's wrong with your amp or your cables.

I have a 70s bassman and a 60s Kent, and my Big Muff makes sounds amazing through them (although the Kent is so dark I have to crank the tone.)

that stuff in the back row is awesome looking, what is that?

Catalinbread SFT (Ampeg in a Box)



EHX Microsynth (for those awesome synth sweeps it does):




EHX Soul Preacher compressor (to give my guitar a longer sustain when I'm going for more keyboard like sounds)



The Beast Synth: (well this was a DIY one-off, but I want to build a similar one someday.) I love that it has the metal slide trautonium type interface for playing instead of a keyboard, making almost like a "fretless" synth and allows for manual vibrato and glissando

its a 4003 model, sunburst. got it 2nd hand for $200!!! it was years ago and the place i got it from had no idea of its worth. sell a kidney, get gear.

You're really good at making people hate you!:mad::D
Yeah, I'm saving to buy stuff, and I've an E-MU IV to sell too, not sure how much I could get for that, I'll ask aroudn a bit...

for voice overs in studio i would probably go for a neumann u87 rather than a 414b. they are around the same price. also have a look at the neumann tlm103 which is also a large diaphragm condenser. or cheaper but quiet, transparent and good quality sound the rode nt series, they are much cheaper but are great sounding microphones. rode also do a decent shotgun. but nowhere near the mkh60 or the me66 shots.

No no, my problem is with the Holy Grail pedal. I don't use a Big Muff.

I thought that too but it does it on different amps, and with different cables. I returned the first one I bought and got another one, after a few months, same problem.

I looked and other ppl have had the same problem in online forums, and now I went to guitar center and it says the model is discontinued (it was the first holy grail).

Face it, nothing is as good as the real thing for spring reverb.

That's true to an extent, unfortunately Im not going to bother saving up 1200 for a tank. Reverb is not worth the price of a nice guitar to me. Especially in a live setting where it doesnt matter as much.

Never used spring on the holy grail, I dug the hall setting. It sounded great, until it started acting like shit and sounding like shit.

Boss don't let you down at least.

hey man, thanks so much, always great to learn from your expertise on these matters.

yeah, i've bought shotgun rodes before (for a class i taught) and they are a great bang for the buck. i wasn't aware of their large condenser models but i'l check them out.

my current boom mics are a panny camera mic that does double duty (it's a bit small for a boom but i manage) and the sony i mentioned is on a free loan basis-- i forget the model-- it's decent, not great. then i have a long audio-technica shotgun which was my first mic ever and it's meh-- i should put it on ebay.

my current studio mic is an AT2020 which came free when i bought a digirack 003. it's not great, but it gets the job done for now and it was free/worked into the price so it's great ha ha.

i'll check out all of those you mention and put them in my want-to list. realistically, i probably would get a k6/me66 before the mkh60... $$$! (like 3 times more). not sure of the au$/us$ exchange rate... vs. the euro-produced mic = rising prices :(

me66's here http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories

I use large diaphragm rodes in my studio, and i am starting to see more and more rode mics show up on professional stages when i am doing floor sound and monitors. and i have used their nt5 pencil condensers a few times for overheads including on some aria award winning bands in australia so they are not too shabby.

what is this? it sure is cool looking

reactable. some videos up on youtube, I think.

i replied to your rickenbacker post btw.

No drums, you racist fucks?!?

Just bought a set of TD-20's....been wanting them for 10 years now.



Shit is so nice.....fuck 'a neighbor.

awesome price! i need to sell some of my own crap btw.



fucking a right! that looks amazing! congrats!

Wooo, I got that Boss Pedal. It's pretty nice!

Hey Julian, Want to buy my Soul Preacher? It's got the box and everything. I never use it anymore.

The time and misery put in to get it is sickening, but oh well.

It is basically an infinite drum set.

Can't right now. Maybe in February. Xmas plus my trip to California in mid-January are hurting my wallet.

How I use the Boss Pedal for anyone interested

(btw, this is not thru my bassman amp, that's getting fixed. This is thru my fender stage 112 amp.

Yessir! And I replied to your reply too :D

pearl export circa 85ish you'd kill for?

Cool cool. I should still have it then, so PM then if you still want it.

Cool, I should remember to contact you in that case.
