Members RoboPimp Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 {censored}ing great stuff. too bad EHX has been making such shoddy pedals lately, the ideas are killer, the execution has been sucking big time IME. Total crap quality, I mean people used to think the old stuff was shoddy (and it is kinda) but the new stuff is really bad. I've bought two pedals from them in the last two years and both are pretty much {censored}ed. To make matters worse, the customer service I've had was bad too. But you make some great sounds with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 memory boy delay pedal, doesn't keep a constant delay time, sometimes you'll get 500 ms out of it, sometimes 350... who knows new neo clone chorus, clips so bad (even with single coils) that it sounds like you're using a dirt pedal with it. shame on me for giving them another chance I guess.

That's what I thought. Buy something that costs more, and you'll soon realise that ehx doesn't make crappy pedals in general. They make a significant amount of cheap pedals that are obviously not as reliable as the more expensive ones. You can't expect a pedal to have high sound quality, be original and reliable for a small price. In general, you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Agreed Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 EHX needs to make a giant modular synth megarack with basically all of their cool circuits built into it and user-routed with patch cables. Except make it affordable. $10,000 modular synths are awesome and scary, but EHX clearly has it going on with a lot of their sounds as these videos demonstrate, so why not put it all together in one package for people who want the cool flavor of their stuff in a more conventional synth format, and for a more reasonable price? Also, hiring you (you are paid to do all this stuff, right?) was one of the smartest things EHX has ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Snufkino Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 Always interesting, Baranger. But next year you should do an April fool's one where you have your guitar say Brian Blessed quotes from Flash Gordon. Soul Preacher-->Screaming Bird-->Polyphase = "Gordon's Alive!?"

Members Agreed Posted September 27, 2010 Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 Here's a sound I got with Amplitube Fender back when it was still in beta using the Fender Blender, heavy reverb, and the champ 600. It's not exact, and the Blender's octave action helped, but a sort of starved sounding fuzz plus some reverb definitely will help your guitar sound somewhat sitar-ish. More than that, though, is just playing. Sitars are played with intervals that sound somewhat exotic to Western ears because we're more used to 12 tones and half steps whereas there are a lot of microtonal elements to the sound of a sitar; in that clip, I just did quarter-step bends and stuff like that, but more attention paid to playing can definitely help you get that kind of sound.

Members baranger1 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have always wanted to build a modular system like that! Problem is it would never be finished as new stuff is always coming out. I dig your sitar sound as well!
