Rayman Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I've got one, it's fine. Bought it to use on a couple of Muse covers, which it did well for me, haven't used it since, enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want a feedback destroyer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the description you make of the sound of effects sometimes is completely different from what I get! I know if I lower the gain and bass a bit too much on my SWR 350x, or turn up the tweeter on my Triad cab, no distortion can ever sound good! If you're trying pedals with a small low wattage combo you're losing out on some good stuff and you'll be surprised what difference some serious air being pushed does as far as distortion goes!

Kev Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) the amp i have is indeed only 130 watts, but is louder than most 200w amps. i aint just going off amp sound either, im going off recording too. i try alot of effects in music shops as well through full rigs Edited September 11, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, when I record using an amp simulator plugin or DI from the preamp stage of my amp (i.e. not direct from the bass), I get a sound from my effects that's closer to real life gig/rehearsing sound than if I use my rig at lower volume at home (it sounds farty and crappy like that). If you're recording and using amp D.I. or amp simulation, then I suppose you're at least getting something to compare against just playing through your amp... I've tried loads of effects through full rigs in music shops too, but some effects like distortion or compression you never really get a very clear perception of their quality unless you play them really loud and p*ss everybody off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) when i record i either go di out from amp, or through the zoom b2.1u's recording interface with trace elliot amp modelling. i think we just need to agree to disagree when it comes to distortions, i like the odb-3, you like the pd-7, okay?

[/quote] It wasn't about taste at all, it was about, in this case, you saying that the PD-7 has too much hi-mids and sounds lo-fi. My PD-7 (back when I had one) never sounded like that regardless of what I was playing it through (and neither did the ODB-3 I had before for that matter) so I was guessing it was your amp making it sound like that... Since it shouldn't be your MM bass either, I guess it must be your ears then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Why don't one of you run some white noise through a PD-7 and screen shot a frequency analyser? That would settle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No PD7, no ODB-3 and no way of sending white noise through a pedal and back to the audio interface... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I wouldn't really know about that. I was way too out of it during my degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
