    Distortion?

    noirpunk replied to noirpunk's topic in Effects

    Managed to get a lovely rackmounted Zoom multi-effects with a valve in it for next to nothing. There's a decent overdrive on there so I'll be playing around with that Was cheaper than your average pedal too!

    Hi all, I'll shortly be recieving a short scale bass. Just wondering what the drill is when I have to change strings? Is there any way of modifying standard scale strings for a short scale? Any good value for money short scale sets around?

    Hi all, A mate of mine has his Ibanez Af95 up for grabs. It's pretty much mint condition, really nice guitar like the old Gibson single cutaways (think Ted Nugent). He's after £250, if you're interested get in touch with him on this number: Tyrone Kellar - 07866 791444

    They were like a totally different band in the 80's, I'm not much of a fan of much 'Post-Ace' stuff (apart from Sonic Boom - an excellent return to form). I really wish I could see the original lineup, or with Ace at least. Tommy Thayer seems to be trying his hardest to emulate Ace, they've even got him singing 'Shock Me' now. I'm really not into him ... should've given him a new character... I'll get off my soap box now.

    I got mine from Seetickets - Birmingham, Standing. It's a serious lifelong ambition to see them live, I can't wait... I've already got practically everyone I'm going with agreeing to put the makeup on

    Got my tickets on Friday, who else is going? I'm already experiencing a silly level of excitement and there's 6 months to go yet!

    Interested in the ultrabass, what sort of difference does it make to the live sound?

    [quote name='dood' post='664178' date='Nov 24 2009, 07:01 PM']Let us know how you get on and what kinda sounds you can coax from the rack - gnarly distorted bass tones etc?![/quote] I certainly shall, I'm looking for a nice growl not overly heavy. I'm gonna be running it through one side of my bi-amp which will sound siiiick.

    Great basses, especially as a second hand buy. That said I much prefer the Thunderbird Pro, Epiphone really outdid themselves with it - through neck and active electronics. Want one badly!
  14. noirpunk
    They're really very good. Really thick neck mind, that said the pickups are great! I've got a black one, wish it was white with a black plate. It's my favourite colour combo.
  15. noirpunk
    Sounds like a plan, I reckon my guitarist will probably want to nab it... unlucky for him it's going to be in a rack case screwed down so he can't get his hands on it haha
  16. noirpunk
    Oh it was cheap as chips, I've not got my hands on it yet as it's being held hostage until Christmas since the parents paid for it. Like I said I'm only really using it to give my head a bit of dirt, it's been upgraded with a Mesa Boogie valve. Am I right in saying I can hook it up through the effects loop despite it having a valve pre-amp? The dropout isn't gonna be a problem cos I'll be using one effect all night
  17. noirpunk
    Sad times cos these are cracking basses at stock, let alone with a few nice mods. I really wish I could get a WHITE relic version with a black plate.
  18. noirpunk
    Oh I like! Not interested in any trades are you?
  19. noirpunk
    Bump... Anyone had any experience with Zoom rack effects at all?
  20. noirpunk
    What ball park are you looking at for cash?
  21. noirpunk
    Seriously interested in this, could you hold it for me until tomorrow so I can see if I can wangle this is a Christmas gift?

    Hi all, I'll shortly be getting my hands on a Zoom 9150 Valve DSP. The intent is to put it through the effects loop on my head, does anyone have any experience with these units? I'm hoping to achieve a nice growl sound out of it in the Gene Simmons/Lemmy ballpark.

    Here's one of many photos my father got from the NEC. I'll get him to bung them on a CD and I shall pass them on to you in Cardiff.

    [quote name='cetera' post='651626' date='Nov 11 2009, 02:15 PM']Cheers matey! It was our pleasure. See you & your mate at Cardiff.... and please bring as many others with you as you can! This show is now an ALL AGES show (under 16's with an adult) and we should have some 'burlesque' dancers joining us onstage for a song or two... and maybe providing some entertainment before the show. [/quote] Sounds good to me Will they 'Take it off'? Christmas will be coming early!

    Distortion?

    noirpunk posted a topic in Effects

    Hi all, I'm looking to add some nice growly distortion to my sound for my new project. I've got a lovely Randall Bi-Amp which I got from Oldgit a few months back, I'm looking to put a distortion through the effects loop on the low end of the amp and keep the high end clean for clarity. I'm looking for a nice grungey tone, Lemmyish perhaps. Can anyone suggest a nice reliable pedal that's relatively cheap? Cheers
