Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 I use the pitch modulation a full octave up... How are you doing that? Please share the secret! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blitzraptor007 Posted March 4, 2009 Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 How are you doing that? Please share the secret! I have the mix at 12, amount at max, volume at 12, Tone at 1, Bright color, and clean dirt At least I think that is an octave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monsterbot Posted March 4, 2009 Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks Fender&EHX4ever for the review. I think your description of "distortion pedal with hazarai" really puts it into perspective for what it does best. I've been casually looking for one of these on the cheap. When I find one, it'll probably go into the mod/delay section of the chain to slop some cruft on the effects and add some (more) sonic weirdness.

Members matterday Posted March 4, 2009 Members Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm probably going to pick one up in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've been playing around with this pedal all week, and I think I've finally found the magic combo.

Members JRBain Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 Bump. I came across this pedal today, and I forgot how cheap it is. It would be quite a cool effects solution for me right now... (I could use a verb and pitch shifter). However... I completely fail to see how the pitch shifter section is usable. Is it possible to make this thing do an octave up? 100% wet, preferably. I quite like the sound of the dirt, and it is ludicrously inexpensive, so I'd love it to be usable... Any thoughts?

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted October 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 Is it possible to make this thing do an octave up? 100% wet, preferably. I don't know if a mod is possible. But in it's stock condition, no, it won't go an octave up. The extreme ranges of the pitch shift sounds okay for pentatonic scales. Also, if you detune very slightly, you get a decent non-cyclical chorus sound. Otherwise, the pitch shifter could be used like a tremelo bar.

I can't quite see what they were thinking with this one. Sadly I don't need a funny harmonizer or chorus, nor a whammy-style pitch-shift, otherwise I could have fun with this one... But I hope to put the funds together some time soon for a Micro POG anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm still liking it, bought mine new right when it was releasedprefer to use the verb modes, clean setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRBain Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm still liking it, bought mine new right when it was released prefer to use the verb modes, clean setting The verbs sound pretty good to my ears, it must be said. My GAS is for a T-Rex Roommate, though - I like mine 'warm' sounding. My ideal I guess is the perfect combination of hall reverb and analog delay...

Members turnstylepoet Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 I owned a Holy Stain for about a year and then sold it and purchased a Verbzilla. I owned the 'zilla for less than two months. It just didn't work for me and it made me really appreciate the Stain. I am actually thinking about picking one up again if I can find a used one for cheap. I really liked using it primarily for reverb with a boost at the tail end of my signal chain. The more I think about it the more I want it back. Argh, just when I thought I was over reverb the Stain says hello again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnstylepoet Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 I'd love the Holy Stain if the pitchshifter section could only be a little more usable... I am more interested in the reverbs/trem and the nearly clean boost it adds when i have it last in my signal chain. I have missed that tone ever since I sold my HS. I never did use the pitch shifter. Although I do plan on picking up an expression pedal so I might give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not much of a trem guy myself, but the verbs are really good, for the price and otherwise, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blitzraptor007 Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 The reverb on this thing is really lush, I love it so much...as for the other effects, I don't like them as much. They're pretty crappy IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're pretty crappy IMO yeah, my main interest in the HS is the reverb plus the boost. I hardly ever use trem, which is why I am trying to ditch mine.

Members companyman Posted March 30, 2011 Members Share Posted March 30, 2011 I just picked up a used Holy Stain and love the color control and tone shaping, and the reverbs are really good,. I wonder if there is a way to adjust the pitchshifter's range to an octave, sure would be more useful. The OD and Fuzz have way too much gain for my style, but I have other dirt pedals in front of it. This is the second Holy Stain I havew owned, I really missed the reverbs and the grit of the clean mode when set to warm, sounds awesome.
