Members companyman Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Any opinions on this pedal ? Will it keep my attack intact and still give me nice clean sustain ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Melx has one. He'll pop in here and tell you about it. I played one briefly at a store. I thought it was alright. I plan to pick one up eventually just so I have a compressor, but I hate buying utility pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pencil-in Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 I gots one... it's awesome. I use it constantly on my clean & OD tones, but I use a dual looper to switch between EHX NSP > Boss SD-1, and my Fuzz Factory. it adds so much punch and clarity to my playing. it's so smooth. I love it. one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I use it is just for smoothing out clean rhythm playing and it works really well for that "you don't know it's on until you turn it off' sound.

Members pencil-in Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Do you have to switch it off for higher gain sounds, Melx? (that is if you play higher gain stuff) I found that it doesn't sound too hot used with fuzz (tried with an EHX LBM and a ZV FF). Companyman, you'll probably find that you'll need to open it up when you first get it and adjust the internal trim pot for input gain... mine was set quite high in the factory, so it was peaking and didn't sound too good. But when I lowered the input gain, man-o-man, did it sound ace as f*ck! YESH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YESH!!! yeah, I don't usually use a compressor with fuzz/distortion, I usually set it up in a double loop switcher with a clean sound (soul preacher>LPB-1) and a dirty sound (rat, BMP or whatever) then flick between the two.....things are always changing though depending on what I want to do, I don't have a 'fixed' set up really. yeah, I lowered my input gain too...unity volume was at 9 o'clock, what I did was set both knobs at 12 and adjust that position to unity, that's pretty much how I run it all the time.

I play a Les Paul and it does have semi-high output 490r-498t pickups so that bit of info will be very helpful ! I have never got along with a compressor , even several Keelys , just never can get them to leave my pick attack alone and still sustain nicely ! Basically , I want to stop my bridge pickup from overloading my DMM when playing clean . Do you think this will work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pencil-in Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hmmm... you could try one of those new EHX Signal Pad pedals to drop your level a touch. I don't know really, I'd say try a SP in a store, but they won't let you open one up in a shop to adjust the trim pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
