Members Ice Monster Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 www.myspace.com/tameimpalaMy favourite new band, Psychdelic 60's Rock from Australia. I assume most you are instantly gonna go, "Another Wolfmother...great...", or will shriek with joy. Either way, these guys are fantastic and their EP is extremely addictive, groovy and trippy.Their songs are produced by themselves, so they have this sorta rough sheen to it, probably because of alot of bleed through.I thought I'd post it here because simply, the guitarist (s live) has a fantastic fuzz sound and delay sound, so I was wondering what pedals or settings he uses or how I could achive a simmilar sound?I have a DL-4 for Delay and a Sovtek Big Muff for fuzz.

This....but the main dude (sorry don't know names) wrote all parts and recorded them himself IIRC. Got a band later. Boring as bat shit live.

Members Amplifier Worship Posted April 5, 2009 Members Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yeah, I saw them live and it was pretty crappy.I dig the vibe of the EP, but it came out now and not 40 years ago, so it's hard to listen to it and not think about how self conscious it is, y'know? An interesting point regarding the 'another wolfmother' thing is that they got signed by the same hipster label ..Who funnily enough, were looking for another wolfmother.

Members andtrea Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 This is by far the best guitar synth tone I ever heard: I highly doubt that this pitch modification could come from a POG, like youtube users suggest... any hints?This is the only Dominic Simper pedalboard decent pic that I found online...

Members andtrea Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tlcblog/4730757414/Or maybe does he blends the guitar signal with the Microkorg?There is a Boss Line Selector... mmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thezeng Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 I absolutely love them.I know they have a cult following here in Australia. I've never seen them live but from what I hear they could definitely improve on it. I guess that comes with experience but their song writing is great IMO.All their guitar tones come from putting phaser last in the chain. In the song "Alter Ego" if it's not a pog going on, I'm not entirely sure, but if that is a Verbzilla above he could perhaps be running the Octo (with no delay time) into the compressor, dirt, delay, then phaser?A shot in the dark, I thought it was a POG as well.

Members andtrea Posted July 8, 2010 Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 POG sounds definitely more "chewy" (especially the POG 2) to my ears.I owned POG, POG2 and MicroSynth but none of them come close to that sound. The Verbzilla "Octo" sound seems definitely a good hint, but I guess there is more...Using Guitar with Microkorg seems possible: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SharkMinusBear Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm actually listening to them right now at work, first run-through of the newest album. There's a lot of phaser.... almost too much imo, but I like a lot of the songs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Contender for best album of the year. Innerspeaker flows so well, it's the only record I got this year that doesn't require any track skipping at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andtrea Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alt-me, did you watch the video linked above? I try: fuzz factory (with pronounced octave)---> verbzilla octo ---> delay ---> reverb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members placebo62 Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 At very least the Dungen influence is obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Instrospection Posted July 13, 2010 Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 Never heard of 'em before--really like what i've listened to in the last 10 minutes or so. Reminds me alot of Beachwood Sparks' indie Buffalo Springfield/ Byrds/ Barrett era Floyd stuff. The chord changes I like---it's fitting that they list The Nazz as an influence, because alot of the stuff sounds alot like Rundgren's compositions on their second and third albums when Todd started writing mellower stuff. Also kind of reminds me a bit of Caribou's "Andorra" album a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members less_cunning Posted July 14, 2010 Members Share Posted July 14, 2010 IDK why ppl are getting this wrong influence-wise someone on another board said Tame Impala reminded him of the Beattles.anyway. there is a LOT of great music coming out of Australia right now. i think Tame Impala is just the tip of the iceberg...
