Its not a problem with the actual flange effect, just that when the pedal is plugged in, everything goes bassier.[/quote] Is this when it's in bypass? If it's when it's bypass then it's definitely a crappy pedal, you could get a true bypass box if you still like the flanger effect.

It'll just be that flanger, some effects aren't very transparent and have other tone effects when on. Although, depending on the controls, setting everything left might not silence the effect, just set it to a minimum.

Taking an auditroy stroll down Mogwai lane to celebrate the announcement of their new album: "Hardcore will never die, but you will". I think they win best album title ever. Also includes some hilarious track titles: "George square Thatcher death party" and "You're Lionel Ritchie" Been my favourites.

As soon as I have some spare cash I'm buting another one and doing this to it. Awesome.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='999164' date='Oct 24 2010, 07:18 PM']The new 65DAYSOFSTATIC EP, "Heavy Sky". Absolutely brilliant, nicely follows on from "We Were Exploding Anyway".[/quote] Did you get your pre-order early, or have you been naughty? I really wish I could have afforded the pre-order, I'll pick it up when i can afford it.

The small bit of stripboard and the battery are just wedged in, a lot of pedals do that, even the very expensive ones, as long as it's done properly it shouldn't be an issue. The big bit of stripboard however is anchored in by a very visible stand off, soldering looks good as well, should be fine.

[quote name='Bidd' post='998442' date='Oct 23 2010, 08:14 PM']I've learnt a lot of Muse songs over the years and I remember when songs like Thoughts of a Dying Atheist and New Born were had to play stamina-wise. I'm currently stuck at Stockholm Syndrome, but my band's music never requires me to play sixteenths at over 120bpm continously for a good minute.[/quote] Stockholm Syndrome's what helped my right hand stamina, Map of the problematique, butterflies and hurricanes and hysteria are good for it too.

Use a pick, i've never seen a punk band with a finger player, it'll give you the tone you need aswell. If you're set on fingers, just play a lot of fast songs, play 2 or 3 everday, and eventually you'll build up your stamina

The absolute essentials for the muse sound are a grindy distortion, a gated fuzz, an octaver (perferably a boss oc-2) and a filter. These will get you most of the synth sounds hes uses, and you'll also need them individually. An important part of his sound is that everything is blended with clean bass, not sure if any multis can do that, but the ls-2 is your cheapest stompbox solution for blending.

Not sure if it was his horrible thin tinny tone, but that sounded awful. So much fret clank.

Masters of Reality's new record(s) Pine/Cross Dover Why did it take me a year to listen to this again? Awesome stuff

[quote name='bartelby' post='988276' date='Oct 14 2010, 06:48 PM']They seem to be trying to be a darker more twisted version of TOOL both musically and visually. I really like it.[/quote] Unfortunately trying is no longer applicable, ISIS called it a day in june. I'd have given a kidney to be at their final show. They did support tool on one tour as I recall.

One of the first things we were taught in our uni physics lab was lasers will kill you if you so much as blink at them cockeyed. They're not actually that dangerous, as long as you don't look directly into the beam, or put an appendage in the beam (depending on power and energy output). You SHOULD be fine with scanning lasers, i've seen them in plenty of clubs and such mounted on the celing point at the dance floor, i wouldn't put it at eye level though. What colour is it?

Currently on DR DDT's as I'm a drop C whore. But I had hi-beams before, which i'll go back to if I go back to standard

Amplifier - The consultancy Can't wait for the new album(s)

Had a bit of an oceansize listening fest and finally got unfamiliar and sleeping dogs down pat. Both absolutely awesome basslines, and a masterclass in playing in odd time sigs but still keeping it groovy (which the whole band is a masterclass in to be honest): Since I assume 95% of you will have had no idea what songs or band I was referring too. Both displaying the heavier side of the band, but heavy as it should be done, interesting and complex as hell. I urge you all to listen, there's a lot worse things you could do with 14 minutes.

Used them for a while, decent strings for the price, wear out a bit quickly for my liking, and the sound quite dull once they do wear out, but decent enough.
