Members hangwire Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 hmm never heard of it.. i will research now. thanksyou sir!! before modding and boutique stuff went crazy ... around 2000 they were made and I think Devi Ever was a strong supporter of this pedal. I never played one, but it was talked upa lot, probably one of the more sought after soundtank line that ibanez put out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members T3 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 your mesa doesn't cut it? i'm suprised, the mesa/ts combo is pretty killer... are you cranking it sufficiently? i know this is the fx forum, but i'd spend the money on an attenuator first, a rectifier needs to be working a little, or it's all buzz.

Members Agreed Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 An EQ in the loop might get you more results than a dirt pedal before the amp, my friend. Cut bass going into the preamp, boost the hell out of it coming out. Distorted bass sounds funky as hell and gives a very loose character to your amp's distortion, whereas keeping the bass level low cleans it up significantly and then putting it back in afterwards equals very tight gain with huge response. Your guitar, pickups, pedals, amp, speakers, and cabinet construction obviously place limits on how well this will work, but I would say pretty often the only thing missing from the equation is an EQ in the loop.

Members T3 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 the best "metal" tone i have ever heard came from someone who just used a triple recto with a stereo 31 band graphic eq on top, one channel before the preamp, one after. the sound was incredible.

Members Agreed Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I use a "baby" version - a Dan-o Fish n' Chips before and after my preamp I find that 31 bands is a bit much for guitar. A parametric would be way more useful at that point, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With due respect mate, you're never going to cop MTB, Meshuggah and Deftones sounds from the same pedal. Dave knudson uses a TS9 for overdrive, I believe. The others use amps. Stephen Carpenter used to use marshall JMP1 preamps and 9100 power amps, but more recently made the switch to Line6 stuff. I think. No idea about Meshuggah, but theirs is a hard tone to replicate and I think you'll really struggle without a good metal amp, an 8 string guitar and a {censored} ton of ability.
