fretmeister Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 That's true! Probably true for most reviewers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It also manages to sound absolutely nothing like Lemmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 He should have used a Ricky. Or at least a good copy of one..... [running for cover] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyxtiger Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Agreed. Standard darkglass aping with no attempt at the lem tone. Or any other tone for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any other tone for that matter. Funnily enough, I heard it and thought "Hmm... I don't remember Lemmy using Darkglass." I suppose the Darkglass sound is now being so imitated it's kind of becoming passe in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I didn't think it sounded that much like Darkglass (no clean blend on it for a start), but a lot of Patricks demo's sound similar because he's not recording the pedals direct. At one time he was going into Line6 POD modelling, looking at the gear used list, these days he is demoing the pedals into a mic'ed up Darkglass amp and cab. His clean tone always sounds overdriven to start with, sometimes sounding worse when the actual pedal gets engaged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 True, but when your base tone is dirty, you can demo a clean boost and everyone is like "OMG THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!" Then they buy one and put it through the clean solid state rig with a tweetered cab and it sounds nothing like it. If I use an amp sim like a VT Bass or a B7K at the end of my chain, then I could feed it a with several different distortions and they'd sound pretty similar. Record them direct and they'd all sound very different to each other. Ideally a demo should have recordings of both, but the only demos I've seen that did that regularly was the old bassfuzz.com ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sounded more like a turbo charged Flea to me. Shame, I reckon backing off of the gain a fair bit and playing a Ricky that might just get a fairly decent Lemmy sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Here's a good example. Opening riff is his clean tone, already sounding pretty dirty and Darkglassish: Edited April 26, 2018 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimBobTTD Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Bump from the dead...has anyone tried one of these in real life? I heard the video (above) for the first time the other day my interest is piqued. I am interested in how it sounds when the rest of the band are playing. Too many pedals sound good in isolation but less so in the mix - this is my experience of Darkglass, for example, although I appreciate I am in the minority here.
