Members lyyky Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I prefer my digital POG over those old analog...ummm... POGs. Analog octave down or up units don't track anywhere near as well as digital. Oh, and to get the POG to sound warmer and better, put it in a TB looper with an EQ pedal with cut mids.

Members booher Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 i think digital delay is better in a live situation. analog gets lost. It really depends on what kind of music you want to play, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sub rosa Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Analog for guitars, amps, effects. Digital for tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eddie Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 ...the warmness of analog is something I've learned to prefer over the years. My dad is a tech nerd, and is a sound engineer doing modern music kinds of bands. So, I grew up thinking Digital was good and Analog was old, outdated, and bad. Not anymore, not after comparing...What exactly are you talking about? And what did you compare?I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzinator Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like Analog for dirt and most modulation. I've never heard digital dirt that I truly liked. But I like Digital delays and reverbs, and I love what you can do on a computer to a guitar signal, things that no pedal can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PeelingPaint98 Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've never heard digital dirt that I truly liked. +1 this is what killed the Line 6 Uber Metal for me, it sounded pretty good on it's own but it hated being pushed or pushing other dirt pedals.

Members CicadaSilence Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Honestly? I never really think about it, at least in terms of checking out effects. I'll plug anything in, try it out, see how it sounds. If I like what I hear, I take it home with me. Analog, digital, whatever works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eddie Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like Analog for dirt and most modulation. I've never heard digital dirt that I truly liked. I like some of the distorted sounds I have created with the MagicStomp. Some very nice digital dirt is available in the Marshall JMP-1. Yes, it has tubes, but as far as I remember the overdrives were generated digitally. Prior to having this unit I hated digital distortion. I have not heard one in years, though. Maybe I would not like it today, but I don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eddie Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, comparing a few digital chorus pedals against some analog chorus pedals. With digital, I feel like as I'm messing with knobs, I almost have my sound going where I want it. And right when I think I have it nailed, it sounds too metalic, too "digital." With analog, no matter where the settings are, it sounds good to me. My favorite chorus is the EBS Red Twister which is analog. But I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capnbringdown Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Digital delays. I like tape echo sims, and an analog delay doesn't come close to it, but I can't afford or want the hassle of a real tape one, so I'l prefer digital. Digital editing of my recordings? Of course. Though I am just getting into analog recordings. As far as something like modulation, it depends. My magic stomp can do some great modulation. Other things it can do are alright. Though for the effects I really use, I'd prefer a single stomp box. Reverb. Both can sound good. I'm a little more partial to amp verb, but I don't use it too much and don't currently own an amp that has it. As far as something like fuzz is concerned, this is an analog only territory for me. Most digital sounds like absolute dog {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zachman Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Just wonderin. Depends on the application. In my rig, W/D/W, I use BOTH digital and analog sound processing. Analog pedals ALL go in front of the amps and Digital stuff is mostly run parallel through the wet only (Exception is the Eventide H8000FW; it's routed for Both series AND parallel AND if front as well as through the wet part of the rig. Analog stuff are: Overdrives (Marshall Blues Breaker 2/ Ibanes TS7), Phase Shifter (MXR EVH90), Flanger (MXR original), Compressor (MXR Dyna Comp), Boost (Electro Harmonix LPB2), Cry Baby Wah, Boss FV500 Volume Pedals, Digital stuff: TC Electronic 2290, TC Electronic 1210, Eventide H8000FW, Lexicon PCM80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fywmf Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm a delay and reverb jumkie and I definitely prefer digital reverbs. the RV-5 is gorgeous. I love it. I have 3 analog and 3 digital delays (moog MF-104, MF-104SD, Maxon AD80, Boss RV-3, Boss DD-6, Trex Replica) and they're used and blended. it takes great pains to line up the time settings on my moog delays with the DD-6 to where there's just the right amount of clarity from the digital and enough of the analog warmth from the moog... can someone just make this in a pedal? can you have an analog and digital delay in one box that have their times synched, and just give me a MIX knob? how awesome would that be? a.

Members Eddie Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 In a way, or to an extent, I agree with you. However, no matter what you do, there is an audible difference between analog and digital. Analog modeling by a digital unit, that may be a different story.And what is that difference? How do I recognize whether a sound came from an analog or a digital unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelhair0 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well you can't always be sure. I'm not perfect at it. But analog is just, most of the time, warmer. It's hard to explain. Don't have me explain it... I'll screw it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 digital: processed/pristine/sometimes almost too perfect analog: warmer/more natural they both have their places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zachman Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 And what is that difference? How do I recognize whether a sound came from an analog or a digital unit? From an amp modeler point of referrence; the amp modelers 'model' the tone of the given amps they are trying to emmulate by recreating the tone of the amp (mic'd). In other words: If you took a Marshall and mic'd it and then listened back to the mic'd tone from the studio control room, it (The modeler)would sound pretty close (Assuming it was dialed in right). The feel is where things change IMO, when you're standing right there.The guys that I consider tone heros, use both analog and digital equipment specifically wired with certain things in series before the amp/amps input, certain things in parallel through the wet (FX) cabs some in series and others in parallel.
