Members Ryan. Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Last night I was playing with my new black secret, my HRD, and my Hoof. Basically I'd go through the dirt on the amp and find a sound I liked. Then I'd go to the black secret and dial in something good. Then I'd go to my hoof and do the same. Then I'd play some guitar to see what I had come up with. Kick on the Hoof, love it. Switch to the rat, love it. Switch to the amp dirt, love it. Then realize... they all sound REALLY similar. I have to remind myself okay, I bought the hoof to get more dirty sloppy fuzz toans... and I got the secret to get that straight forward nickelback rock sound. Etc. I hate knowing what I like and having 3 ways to get the same thing. Thats some bull{censored} man. Natty da bes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Naterel Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thing is the Hoof isnt sloppy fuzzy, its more refined and smooth Just sounds fat, but this fatness gets lost alot when using a combo amp Also youre just setting your pedals to that sound in your head that you like Try moving the tone knob around and dig into the different sounds in the knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lanefair Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I haven't changed my fundamental set up in years.....and not just because I'm poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I like the good sound. Speaking of which, how are you liking the HRD subs? I have my eyes on one locally for $400.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 i find myself doing great big, awesome pick slides all the time. makes everything seem like something incredible is getting ready to happen even if it ends up just being another even bigger and even more awesome pick slide. you mean like that?

Members Ryan. Posted September 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I like the good sound. Speaking of which, how are you liking the HRD subs? I have my eyes on one locally for $400.. I like it a lot, my only gripe is the volume. I'm at drum level volume at 2. where 1 is basically 0 (if that makes sense). I'm not a fan of using my volume knob on the guitar. If you're used to tweaking volume on guitar then you'll be good to go. The reverb in the amp is pretty surf rock in my opinion. i think dick dale everytime i crank the reverb. I only see the volume as an issue in the band room though, and the main issue is i've got good cleans at 2 but it makes dialing the dirt pedals difficult without totally going crazy and not being able to hear the singer and {censored}. i play the lp and the cleans are nice, especially compared to my old half stack. tele will be even sparklyer i imagine.

Members Texas Noise Factory Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 No. I've bought different drive pedlols for different uses. I like their toanz, but I use them for blending to get the Ultimate Rock Sound. (yes, that's patented.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 lately I find myself coming back to the sound of my mandolin, which vibrates the airwaves so sweetly it can't help but make people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmolteratx Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Realized this after a long time of trying out new pedals so I've basically stopped. I tend to dial them all in very similarly (particularly dirt pedals) so really it's not worth having a bunch. Just one or two full featured pedals with lots of options.

Members p0lymath Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 My biggest problem isn't coming back to one sound, it's getting lodged in one key. Standard? Oh I'll play in G. DAEAC#E? Oh I'll play in A. FACGCE? Oh I'll play in C. I get burnt out so fast once I'm used to playing in the key, yet at the same time it's so hard to try others without feeling like your hands are broken. Maybe that's just me.

Members pbone Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's good to learn something else. I'm actually making music now that I'm playing keyboard because it was the instrument that I feel the most at home with. I never really felt that way about guitar but it wasn't until I actually picked something else up did I realize that. Best O LUCK CHUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
