Members arthurdent'd Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 yes, it really is an instrument in its own right, the range of self oscillations is almost infinite. With a looper and a delay it is madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members coloringpad Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 You really can only use an Alesis one/appropriate eBay equivalent. You didn't get one with it? Dying to hear what you think of the combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always get an adapter when buying Alesis products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted September 22, 2012 Members Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks for the tip Texas Noise Factory. I bought it used on GC and they stiffed me on one. It's the second time that has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call them up and ask them to send you one unless it was described to have no adapter in the ad. GC's usually got a few adapters laying around anyway...

Members The Villano Dude Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Originally Posted by coloringpad 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! I finally got around to plugging the ModFX Smashup and I can't seem to get rid of some white noise. Also, the LED seems to turn on when it's bypassed and off when the effect is on. Is this normal or did I land a lemon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
