Members PKTrono Posted July 9, 2012 Members Share Posted July 9, 2012 it really is. it only sounds good when i get the flanger hoax in a kind of sparse/sporatic oscillation that the rainbow machine can then send off in different directions. my midiverb shows up this week. i'm never leaving my apartment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want another. It's just a pain in the dick building it into a pedalboard setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members coloringpad Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 OK. I am now a member of the Flanger Hoax lounge. I read the whole thread. As with many here, the first day you spend coaxing sounds from it only to realize the drop in volume post-effect makes the effect less pronounced. It can be disappointing. And in reading about line boosting post-effect, I agree this is what the pedal needs to get those high frequency radio tuning sounds to sing: but a booster only does half the job. What do you do about the insane volume peaks? After taking my FH and plugging it into nearly everything, I have a solution that is both cheap and twice as effective. This thing needs a compressor/limiter that pumps and reacts to everything in extremes. The resonant bass that will blow your ears out needs to be squashed and the high frequencies, especially the amazing ones that occur when no signal is present, need to be raised. The Alesis Smashup is the least respected of the Modfx series, and rightly so. Most reviews say it does nothing, and to most signals, they'd be right. But with the settings set for FAST ATTACK, SLOW RELEASE and the mod button set to PUMP, this thing slays. I boosted the volume with a line booster, a mixer, three pedals with volume IN knobs, and nothing touched it. You could run stereo in/out or mono or mono/split to stereo. They're 20-30 bucks. Any compressor I'm sure would work, provided it can be set to boost/squash to extremes. Just sharing. I bought this because I couldn't resist the radio frequency type stuff I was hearing in the demos. And with the compressor, I hear the littlest stuff loud and clear. This is a very sexy machine. Have to post picks of what it's paired with: meant to be! Can't believe how it nestled in so nicely. Suspense... Going back out to play. Will be trying settings you guys have posted. Thanks!

Thanks! awesome, HNFHD! When I record I use my Black Finger after the Hoax for the reasons you stated, have fun! One of the coolest noise tools out there IMO.

Members coloringpad Posted July 25, 2012 Members Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nestled between two Modmax pedals nicely.Purple & Blue FTW!This particular routing is Modmax Ringmod > Modmax Filter > Hoax > Alesis SmashupI tried to film a video tonight with my wife's iPad2 but the audio sounded tinny and did not capture the CF that's going on with this thing. I'll try again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 100 dollar cars Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 coloring pad knows his {censored}. listen to him... it has three output...which are you all using for guitar? how about keyboards? how about something like a korg wavedrum? i've been tinkering around with mine for a year, and although i get some good sounds, i don't think i'm utilizing it to achieve best potential... (sorry if this has been written in another page. can't take time to read them all) so, which outputs? all? combo? i have to say this is the most complex pedal i've used, and i love the capabilities. werd, hoaxers unite!
