Members 100 watt Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 No, for the love of god. No. With certain amps..a definant hell no, but with some (and not on the idiot setting) they can make some stuff sound good. With an old NMV Marshall, or something of the 2204/2203 flavors, it'll sound like crap. with the voicing of a 900 series, it could help. Dude wants something "modern sounding" , could possibly help with that. (with the amp eq'd right). I tried one with a channel switching JCM 800 50 watter, and it made it sound better, for a more modern typ of rock / metal sound. I'd prefer the Aphex Xciter, but those are kinda pricey. (another pedal that "just a little goes a long way" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Heres a clip of my settings. http://tonefinder.com/files/49-Cole%20clip.mp3 Did some more chordy stuff to show that it still can cop an 80's feel, and then so more heavy to show that its quite modern sounding. The ringing is a combo of my baseboard heater and the stupid strings past the nut I need to dampen with foam. The pop is my noise gate turning on. I really have to get a new one, it drives me nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 watt Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 900 MKIIIs sound great A 900 can sound great set up just right. I think alot of folks pass judgemet on em too quick. Ive heard a bunch that sounded like dog ass.. Have heard a few that I coulda swore were hot rodded JCM 800's. At one time, I was trying to find one that was blown up / needed work. I wanted to fix one, & see what kind of mods could be done to it, just to see what else it was capable of. I think the whole "diode clipping" thing turned the purists off, and the opinion spread & gave em a bad rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 watt Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 that's awesome What's funny, is hearing guys dog amps that have diode clipping in them , rave about OD/Dirt pedals that have diodes in em. The same purist "tube" guys, who will rave about TS type pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madryan Posted May 15, 2012 Members Share Posted May 15, 2012 Diode clipping can sound great. Just like tubes can sound like ass. Depends on the execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members colejustesen Posted May 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 So I adjusted my eq's to what ejendres suggested. I didn't run my Mojo Drive quite like he has his set, but somewhat similar (as the Mojo Drive has tons of output!). This is what I came up with... Also the first video had a Fane Medusa 150 in the cab, this video has a WGS ET65 in the cab...
