Mmh I quite like this. Hard as it may be, could you try and explain what it sounds like? -
Bump again. Anyone after a quality combo? -
I've got my eyes on an Arion stereo flanger for £30 in a local shop. I agreed to pick it up tomorrow at lunchtime, just in time for the evening practice. Nobody dare go in and buy it tomorrow morning! edit: I found a sample on youtube, sounds about right...

[quote name='Stewart' post='671258' date='Dec 1 2009, 04:35 PM']What you really need is filtered noise - best bet would be a detuned AM or FM radio feeding a wah or flanger![/quote] Mmh nice idea...i still need a flanger though. I'll check out the cheapo behringer and arion ones i've seen in some of my local shops. Cheers for the ideas

I've tried the small stone at a shop, together with my fuzz pedal (big muff pi), and soculdn't get near what I wanted. The sound i'm after is a bit like someone modulating a wah pedal real slow, but I can't do that as i havent got a wah pedal, and I'm not going to control it with my foot if i did...

So i've got this gig on Friday, and we've been asked to do Silver Machine by Hawkwind. We kindly accepted and think that we might actuslly keep it in the set list. My question is, what would be the best way to CHEAPLY emulate the swooshing-spacey sound that pervades the whole song? We don't have a keys player, so no synth. I was thinking of putting some fuzz on my bass, and then put it through a really slow flanger, anyone has any other recommendations? I have a fuzz pedal already, and could go as far as spending another £20-£30 max on another pedal Cheers, Marco

You were right in correcting me Phaedrus, no offence taken! The point I think is that the VXL is a preamp, not an effect pedal. I think you're supposed to dial in a sound you like, and go with it. I agree that it isn't very convenient, but I can't really see a way around it. Which is a shame as the overdriven sound you get is quite good and usable.
-
Fair enough Phaedrus, I was just working from memory as i've recently sold mine.

The pedal has got two buttons, and one turns on the shape circuit, and the other is the general "on" button. Maybe you can find a combination that lets you do the harmonics but not the shape. Regarding the volume, the VXL is primarily a DI out/preamp thingy, not a fuzzbox. The problem with volume levels happens because the level knob adds to the overall level of the signal. Maybe try to get your desired level by stomping on the "on" button, twiddle the level knob until happy (ooooer), and then use the other stomp button to turn harmonics on and off. Hope it helps, i've always used mine only for DIing into PA systems.

early bump!

Bump, but i'm considering actually keeping this...

[quote name='far0n' post='665334' date='Nov 25 2009, 05:10 PM']Hmm, how do I embed youtube clips ???[/quote] I think you just need to use the youtube, /youtube tags (in square brackets), with the video id between the tags example:

I've decided to part with my ampeg 4x10 cab. It is an excellent cab, I have bought it new less than three months ago and used it for 2 gigs. I think it is still under warranty. You can check the specs [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/b/b410hlf/index.html"]here[/url], it's a great cab with plenty of bottom end and the bonus of a 3-position horn switch to select how much high frequency you want. I'm selling it only because it's too impractical for me. It's not very light at 80 pounds (36.2 kgs), and its shape make it hard to carry by myself up and down several flights of stairs to my second floor flat. The cab has no castors, and a few marks on the tolex, which i'll try to take pictures of when i go home later. I'm asking [b]£250[/b] for this. Postage is not included, but i'm willing to deliver it locally (up to 30 miles from Edinburgh). Ask any question you may have, and i'll answer as well as i can! Here's a couple of grainy pictures...

I don't buy and sell a huge amount, but please leave some feedback when I do, please Cheers, Marco

Just sold Cliff a pedal, a beautifully smooth transaction. Instant communication and payment, what more do you want? Marco

[url="http://www.hendrixguitars.com/Hxbass.htm"]This guy[/url] used to run a shop close to my hometown in Italy, with a mouth-watering array of vintage gear. He now no longer runs a shop, he deals only in vintage gear through the internet. He has a '66 and a '68 prec on the stock list.

Price now includes postage. Can't stand the 'bay...

[quote name='eude' post='660761' date='Nov 21 2009, 07:29 AM']10 Points! Yeah playing there on Dec the 4th. I think it's free in, so if you're at a loose end, drop in and say hi, think we're on a bout 8:30. Cheers, Eude[/quote] My office is on the same street, I walk past the pub practically every day. I have seen they put gigs on quit regularly, good on them! Is it mostly jazzy/acoustic, or do they do rock stuff as well? I've also got a gig that night, but let me know if and when you play there again!

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='660337' date='Nov 20 2009, 05:03 PM']i think in edinburgh you have to do it yourself. I've seen a fair few good bands get stuck ata certain level and struggle to make it bigger than that. To avoid this I think only ever play bannermans once if at all![/quote] What about whistle binkie's? Do you burn yourself out if you play there more than once? I'm trying to see what places we can offer our services to, I want to get more gigs than just parties and functions...

I took a couple of (not very good) pictures of the plate at the back, you can still see the camo paint Unfortunately the plaque looks to have been painted over and then cleaned with some solvent, which took away much of the original writing.

I nearly bought one of these some time ago, they look and sound great, especially at mid to low volume IMO. The sound is quite Ampeg-y, perhaps unsurprisingly. I agree that they are overpriced for what they are, but I heard rumours that they were due to come down in price somewhat. While I was waiting for the price drop, the TecAmp bonanza happened...

I've got a full head of dark hair, but i like wearing hats. So I do. [attachment=36622:GigOct09_011.jpg] I also seem to like biting my lips when playing...
