How you liking your Maximum Stoverdrive Darren?

I've been wanting the Polyphony on the harmony settings for ages! This works really well on the Whammy V, so obviously I assume it will on this. The classic mode also does really well to replicate the disgusting/lovely discordant sounds that occur on the original, when you play a chord through the two octave up setting! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Not one to count my chickens, but I'll be picking one of these up straightaway when they launch. I really can't see how it'll [/size]disappoint[size=4] me! [/size]

Flippin ell, I'm quite excited about this. If anyone's after a Whammy 1, I will be selling mine when this comes out!...

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1389610754' post='2335993'] I'm looking at the sansamp para driver & the sadowsky di - is one clearly better than the other? [/quote] The Sadowsky doesn't have any amp simulation. It's effectively an outboard version of the active electronics that are found in Sadowsky basses, and its main intention is to turn your passive bass into an active one.

Found the isolated bass track [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVwAsfaX4no"]here[/url], comes in at 0:16. Definitely a filter/synth pedal on there, but not sure what!...Could be the Deep Impact, Line 6 FM4, Digitech BSW or EHX Bass Balls!

I think we probably are, reckon he's only done one...I didn't think he was that far off! The nasal sound of the Animato is definitely seriously present on the original, but there's certainly the "quack" of a filter there! It's always sounded slightly like a Bassballs to me.

I think it's had a bit of studio work, but that Wolstenholme mega-fan Kaputsport gets pretty close on his YouTube vid (think it's "Muse Tones 2") and I think he uses OC-2, Big Muff and Human Gear Animato stacked through LS-2 inputs A&B, and the Akai Deep Impact. You might struggle to get that from the B3 unfortunately. ..

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1389340980' post='2332949'] Currently in discussion with Tom at Cog Effects............ [/quote] Btw, I'd recommend a Darklighter/Knightfall and TK-421X combo like mine or TonyXTiger's. It is remarkably good!!!...

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1389366486' post='2333429'] FY-2 I think? [/quote] Apparently it's meant to be a Lovetone Big Cheese!? I think he only used the Shin Ei on Exit Music.

[quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1389365390' post='2333403'] And one more, I find this band a bit hit or miss, but Nick Beard's tone is punishingly punchy [/quote] This is a great sound, and from a modded vintage rat as well! Great track, but the rest of the album's definitely pretty lame...Juturna was good though!

He uses the Peavey and an Acoustic 450, but THAT sound doesn't come from the Acoustic. John K's example shows that off: [url="http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg"]http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg[/url] I think it must come from a combination of the two, but I've never heard the Peavey so I'd very much like to!...

Aye! I think the distortion that comes from his Peavey F-800B is definitely unique as well, I'd be very intrigued if anyone ever put that preamp into a pedal format!...

Last one! This has to be included, purely for the chorus which is still my favourite dirty bass sound ever! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=totYCysea4w[/size]

Loving this one as well at the moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc6zXSdYXm8

[quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1389303943' post='2332742'] I'm just gonna start this off with a modern dirty bass classic!

[size=4] Brian has some cracking sounds on this one[/size] [size=4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzYMVrhTyk[/size] [size=4]Not least the OCD/Volume pedal swells on the intro...[/size]

Thanks guys! I've contacted Spector customer service, so I'll see what they say...

Good stuff :-) He'll sort you out mate!

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1389279552' post='2332275'] I'm all about stacking 2-3 drive pedals to get the right character.[/quote] Stacking is great, though you'd probably need an ISP Decimator or some sort of noise clamp in there if you do more than two (especially high gain), or they'll scream like a banshee!

*Fuzzrocious

Another vote for the COG Knightfall, and I'm sure Tom could do something with diode selection (like the Knightfall 66) that would give you the gain range you desire! Also, have you ever tried an OCD or Fizzrocious Oh See Demon? Great sounding overdrives that are bright, modern, and can get highly saturated if you desire...

Does anyone know!? Just like the ones on this: [url="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/superdick2112/newusabridge004_zpsa316c310.jpg"]http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/superdick2112/newusabridge004_zpsa316c310.jpg[/url] Two have fallen off now, and I got what I thought were replacements off AllParts but they're different and don't fit! Any help will be much appreciated! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Al[/size]
