Members RoboPimp Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 the sound guy the other night was in love with my mesa boogie. Sound guys always love that amp, it seems to mic up very easily and gets a huge tone for a 1x12" combo without being overpowering. The TB loop pedal for my digitech GNX3 got more compliments. It gets that a lot. Some guy will be peering at my pedalboard looking at the TB pedal trying to figure out what it is and then asks me "What is that little green pedal? IT SOUNDS KILLER!!" Surprise! Sure I still like to look at all the new toys but it feels good to know my base "tone" is awesome and really the best I can do is work on my execution.

Members Jakkeh Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 Good for you, I'm glad. I'm still searchin' about for sweeteners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flying_Milkman Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've been real happy playing through my Deville lately. kinda just adding the effects I want as a tool rather then being reliant on them. I've been loving the Big Muff and DMM lately though. Actually, yeah, I'm pretty happy. And I'll be laying some tracks down by the end of the year.

Members veil Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 Same here. The whole "tone quest" thing never stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted November 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 This. well, what I meant is actually just "looking" at toys, not buying a new one every week, holding it up screaming "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVAR, I HAVE FOUND MY ULTIMATE TOANEZ!" then selling it in a week.

Members El Gallo Negro Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've been happy with my tone/s for quite a while now. We've been recording a new album and I'm definitely stoked on the sounds. I have a Tele that especially records amazingly. Only bummer I've got is my Twin is still dead until I get some cash together to take it in. In the meantime though, I have a little Mesa that sounds great.

Members bluehuricane Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 i'm happy with my gibson >volume pedal > boost > speedster set up, but i can't get my tele to sound right, so i took my amp home from practice last night and i'm gonna spend tonight dialing it in the way i want it (shouldn't be hard with only 4 knobs on my amp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vince Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yup, have been happy for a while now - just tweaking it a bit at the mo - replacing a DL4 with DD20 and adding a fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flying_Milkman Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 replacing a DL4 with DD20 I would advise against that. Just wasn't as inspired by the DD20. But that just might be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am really happy with the tone I had at the last rehearsal. Granted, it was my guitar and the pedalboard into a jmp like mine at home AND into a jcm800 bass amp. IT was the best. I am not too demanding with my tone: just a good rock tone is all I need.

Members Holey Lint Trap Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am very happy with my tone. The Silver Kiss Trinity/Big Muff combo is awesome. The Stereo Pulsar is a great trem especially for the price and my DMM/DE7/RC-2 combo covers my delay looping needs prefectly. The last thing I am waiting for is a Wolf Computer cause I need some wacky glitchy stuff for some solos. But my base sound is exactly what I want.

Members DanJep Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 For the last year my tone hasn't changed despite the look of my pedalboard. I have my core sound that really never changes. The more I realize this, the less I want to buy more gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DStreur Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 didn't you just buy a fuchs?Yeah, an ODS 30. LOVE it! I think I need some lower output pups. Need to finish that order over at bg-pups for the underwound v60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DStreur Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 pics/clips would be funI really need to get myself a recording interface first I can use the stock iMac built-in mic but that probably wouldn't sound better than some ss combo lol EDIT: Come to think of it, I haven't gigged with it yet.. So that might be the lacking part I said earlier.. Don't have an attenuator, and the neighbours just had a new baby 2 months ago so I can't turn it up that much at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Small Stone Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I can't seem to find a tone I like right now. Had a rehearsal last night and was a bit down because of teh dirt toanz.Tried the MXR Distortion III last night. Wasn't impressed. It had a cocked wah sound; or maybe was it the Tele? I'll have to retry it with my Strat.Last week I tried the Distortion +. Sounded good, but not on its own, I had to boost it with my Bad Monkey.The only dirt tone I'm happy with right now is the Bad Monkey. Maybe I should get a second one for a beefier dirt tone?

Members IvIark Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 I haven't had any gas for anything for a long time now. I can safely say that there is no pedal that I want to replace and nothing I want. It's a bit boring really but at least I'm not searching for an elusive "tone" anymore which must be saving me a fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted November 3, 2008 Members Share Posted November 3, 2008 Pretty happy. All my pedals sound good, just two things though:1) Need to retube the Lonestar. Not too difficult, just a little expensive.2) I'm not getting a classic strat sound out of my American strat. It doesn't quite jangle and chime enough, I think I'm going to have to change the pickups to out of phase or something, that will probably be the only way.
