Yeh, if you spend your money, you can make a PC that looks just as nice inside, and outside. I built a computer for my brother who spent a load on a nice case and etc, so you get a load of drive caddies that slot in and out really easily, and clever cable routing and etc. It's just a bit pointless isn't it! I don't mind having a messy pc, 'cos i'm always messing with it.

Keep us posted, I want to know how this sounds!

I get B&Q and C&A, but maybe my mind's not dirty enough for M&S?

I prefer your version too. I was wondering if it might possibly be true, in which case i'd be e-mailing everyone telling them how rude their favorite DIY shop is, so I googled it, and, no :-(

Block and Quayle apparently.

Ahhh, the other one I was on about was the DANELECTRO DJ22 BLACK LICORICE which is the next one down on the list at thomann. It's seriously noisey though, I doubt many people would like it.

It's spelt distortion There are loads and loads of appropriate distortion pedals. I think you'll get a lot of recommendations on here, but, that won't necessarily help. Are you after a specific sound? If you like the distortion you've already got, try mixing some of your clean signal with it, using a boss LS-2 or a DHA Bob the blender or similar. This should retain some low end and clarity.

Seriously try those two danelectro mini pedals if you get the chance. I know it sounds like a budget-only option, but, IMHO they are very cool pedals, especially on bass.

I bought a DHA BOB the Blender from Jim, and he was a dream to deal with ;-) Packing was thorough, postage was quick (even through the strike - weird!). Thanks!

Like Kev said, try an MT-2, although, that's not really fuzz. I really like the danelectro French Toast (not sure if I got the name right). It's an octave/fuzz but you can turn off the octave. It's in a plastic case, but you can change that for the price. Someone else on here said they loved this pedal too. Edit: There's another danelectro octave/fuzz that's black instead of light blue, and this one is mental! Also great for bass, but, beware, it's seriously dirty!

Interesting. I'm going to watch the video when I get home then. I've never had the opportunity to play an octaver which could track each individual note in a chord, but i'd like to!

heh, I guessed that means that it can generate 2 different octaves at once, rather than reacting to each note in a 6 string chord.

You need a mic (sm57 or copy), and a pre-amp (or maybe a usb mic). The pre-amp can plug into your PC's line in. As far as software, I tend to recommend cubase, but then, I get told off for recommending you steal it.

That's what I thought.

I can't listen to that demo at work. I'm just wondering if it can cope with more than one note at a time?

I don't think you'll find a pedal to satisfy him. Octave pedals in general, will have a bit of glitching going on, although most of them are quite good for guitar. Maybe try a midi pickup and effects unit.

[quote name='Aussiephoenix' post='75772' date='Oct 17 2007, 09:00 PM']i got the fx25 in the wobo 2 looper and right before the end of the chain of fx, OUT of the looper, I have the ebs multicomp... maybe I need to recheck my compressor settings... [/quote] Not necessarily, you might have to compress it too much for your liking, to get rid of the volume spikes. A dedicated comp in a loop with the filter would work, but, you don't really want to go to that amount of effort/expense do you? Actually, a good one would be the behringer limiter/enhancer, 'cos it's very cheap and will deffinitely do the job.

I think zoom distribute their cubase through "bit torrent software LTD".

Get a limiter?

Can you get an analog delay with tap tempo? Weird. I have an analog delay, but I just use it to generate a horrible noise. They're quite good at that.

Heh, Toasted recommending the computer pedals there! Do you know how much delay time you need? Most analog delays are more of a chorus effect, or a subtle echo. If you want a nice digital pedal with loads of variety, including an analog sound, try the marshall echohead. If you can get a DD-20 for £100, go for it!

What's that mean "immediate signal chain"? Just a subtle way of recognising that you're going to need some digital processing at some point? I suppose if you use a lot of digital pedals, you could argue that your signal is being sampled over and over again, creating more and more errors. You'd have to have a lot of crap pedals to hear it though. Arguably, it would be better to plug straight into a digital multi-fx where your signal is sampled right at the start, and then processed 100% digitally until it comes out and goes to your amp, which would be just A-D-D-A. Rather than have a load of analog boutiqe pedals with a couple of digital delays at the end, where you would have A-D-D-A-A-D-D-A if you know what I mean? Anyway, yes, I like that everyone has different opinions, otherwise we'd all sound the same, and I wouldn't feel so speshul!

Are you plugging into a low or high gain input? (I think there's two?) try plugging into the low gain input, and just feed it the hottest signal possible.

Heh, I thought it was a bit unbalanced really. I don't want to start a big debate, but, there's nothing inherently better about "analog" than "digital". Look at the amount of tone freaks with digital delays at the end of their chain. Just because a chip is processing your sound, doesn't mean your sound is being messed up. I use a very nice organic sounding digital OD, for example. Anyway, to retain some "organic feel" just use a bit of dry mixed with your horrid digital effects.

Are you sure you want an analog delay and not digital? I know it may sound stupid, but there's a bigger difference than some people realise. As far as analog delays go, AD9 is ok.
