Members Cotoletta Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hello, I hope I'm not in the wrong section! So with a couple of friends we're starting a cover band, but I'm not very confident with effects and can't figure out the settings for the song Israel. Looks like there is a vibrato or an heavy chorus? I'm using a Zoom G3 and a Les Paul.. Attached a sound sample recorded directly out my G3 just using some heavy chorus and hall reverb. I don't like it, looks like the chorus is ok in the first part but way too strong when i pick the open B string.. PS: Sorry for my english.

Members renula Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 from hcfx's archives: McGeoch rig: Marshall 50 fully cranked for distortion. Mix of Marshall 50 (and later stack) and Roland Jazz chrous for clean sound. Yamaha analog delay. Yamaha SG 1000 humbucking (Israel) and split coil (spellbound) MXR Flanger (custom rigged to a mike stand so he didnt have to grovel on the ground) MXR Dynacomp.

Don't apologize. Welcome to HCFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used one.. any suggestions about the settings? More of the manual (wet) signal. turn up the width (depth), no Regen (feedback) I would think the speed would be higher.John McGeoch was one of my favorite guitarists in the late 70s -early 80s. His playing is superb on Magazine's Second Hand Daylight LP. A classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Love Mcgeoch!!! Ok...on the G3... first compressor then heavy flanger And then analog delay...play hard too....that'll do!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 His playing was superb. Armoury show album has two great tunes, "Castles In Spain" and "Glory Of Love." "Waiting for the Floods" wasn't bad, either ... ... just looked it up on Amazon: CD is going for $200! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cotoletta Posted December 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hello, thanks for all the suggestions guys. Looks like in my G3 I have the exact simulation of John's MXR flanger, but the controls I think are a little different.. I have: Depth, Rate, Resonance, Predelay, Mix and Level. @GREC: I'm trying these settings, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
