Members Stratman Tigers Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 Talk about a couple of great bands. Losing Ian Curtis was a shame, but Joy Division would've gone down the route of New Division soundwise anyways. Anyone know what kind of synths they used? I think a Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory is worth buying just for those Peter Hook sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Moustache_Bash Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I love Peter Hook. I hear he used a really old version of the small clone. And he used a Hondo rickenbacker copy, then a yamaha, and then a custom made hollowbody. That's about all I can contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Folky_Grunge Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I appreciate both bands. As for the equipment, I found this site a while ago:http://www.joydiv.org/eqpt.htm It has some interesting info on it. I seem to remember reading that Barney used a hybrid Vox amp in the Joy Division days, but in the live videos that I posted (and in Stratman's), he's using a Marshall, probably a JMP. I have a hard time picturing that sound coming out of one of those amps, but I guess it could be done. His Shergold Masquerader also had Dimarzio Super Distortions in it.

Members LSDis4me Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I watched their documentary DVD New Order Story last week. I'd forgotten how much I liked them in the mid-80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 Love them. I tend to favor Joy Division a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jules-RM Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 My band is actually doing "Ceremony" at a show next Saturday. The singer is playing guitar and I'm just singing - not the first time I've sung on stage sans guitar, but it's been about 12 years. I really admire their simplicity. I always have to work on pairing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jules-RM Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm such a moron for selling this. It's much better sounding than the reissue, totally nails the "Closer" album bass sound. This is the version Peter Hook used as well, it does sound better than the one with red lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used a lot of other stuff as well, especially later on, but those were the main ones in the early/mid-1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 if i had to choose one only one album for the the end of time, i'd probably go for Unknown Pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thezeng Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 I suppose New Order appealed to more people but Joy Division will always be my love. Control is a pretty cool movie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted May 23, 2011 Members Share Posted May 23, 2011 The first New Order album Movement is the only album that sounds like the same band as Joy Division, at least to my ears. The Factus 8 EP really marks the beginning of New Order IMO. That said, I love both bands for different reasons. But Technique was the last good New Order album.
