Jives Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I've been trying to get Cliff Burton's live tone for a while and I've gotten pretty close to his tone but I need an Ibanez HD1500 to complete the tone. The only problem is that they're impossible to find and the ones I do find they're very overpriced. Are there any alternatives to this effects unit that are available to purchase now?

velvetkevorkian Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Sounds like I might have underpriced the HD1000 I sold on here last year 😅 What effect are you trying for here? Delay with feedback that accents the high frequencies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I’d have thought any number of multi-fx units could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Bearing in mind that is very old tech, I would think the helix or zooms would do it without raising a sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just whipped up a quick patch in my Zoom B3 Pitchshift -> Pedal Wah -> Delay. Sounded pretty close. Given some time I could get it closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having played with the hd1000, it was a fun unit, but tone wise there's nothing it did that can't be done be better by modern effects. The unique features for me were that you could set the harmony pitch in 5 cent intervals so you could get completely atonal ring mod sounds out of it, and the delay had an fx loop on the feedback path, which is still a very rare feature on pedal delays. But the tone, tracking and delay time were very much "of the era". As people have suggested, a good cheap multi will get you there, or separates if you want a bit more flexibility.

Do you know any good effects units you think could do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
