Members alteredsounds Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 I skipped all the od's and fuzz's on the Yamaha and just use it for some of my modulation settings but a couple of days ago I accidently ended-up on a patch the emulated a BM, well, with very little tweaking, I have got a wicked muff sound that works really well in a band setting. I am really suprised, serves me right for automatically dismissing some things without trying them. BTW, I have many different BM's, inc Rams Heads, Ic models etc etc so I'm familiar with the muff sound and this setting is as good as the best one I've heard.

I play alot of function gigs so need quite a few different sounds on-hand. The Yamaha has replaced all my modulation pedals on my board, it could prob replace my DD-20 but I'm more than happy to keep using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it would be perfect for sticking on a really small board with a few dirt pedals for playing out with. I had given up on multi-effects even though I like the idea of them, but this thing sounds like it might be able to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armoredfist316 Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 HMMM...I may have to try those out then. I have been using mine for modulation and delay and weird synth noises. It was off my board for a while, but i love it now and dont see it leaving anytime soon. :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members percyexpat Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 the fuzz face model on the line 6 toneport sounds great too not all digital distortions are crap (although most are i find!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Klisk Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 The fuzz on the magicstomp is awesome. You can even dial in that "transparent" sounding fuzz that sounds wicked for blues. The thing can do so much. It's modulation effects are the best, though. The only thing I found myself being a little disappointed in was the chorus, but you can't expect everything in the unit to be perfect. Some people don't like the preamp, but I personally don't mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eiolenii Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 i was considering buying one but recently i've thought about just buying a toneport...don't know yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamoDave Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Just a heads up to anyone interested in the Magicstomp. I'm sending mine back cuz it's got an awful crackling sound that will not go away. I've tried different cables and everything and it definitely the Magicstomp. Hopefully, it's just a bad one that I ended up with, we'll see how the replacement goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I can never seem to eliminate a certain cocked-wah-type overtone when tinkering with the UB99's Muff (aka. "Fuzz I"), but have discovered some interesting tones with its (surprisingly dynamic) overdrives and Fuzz Face emulation (aka. "Fuzz II"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of the Magicstomp and/or another device in your signal chain could have been too high, and something may have been clipping ... or it was, as you concluded, defective.

Members MrMunky Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 The magicstomp is truly outstanding! Keep in mind that aside from the presets, the Bass Magicstomp, Acoustic Magicstomp, and Magicstomp II are the same (and even the presets can be made the same using the software).

Members MrMunky Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Originally posted by Tribute2Johnny audio samples? This one's not exactly relevant to the fuzz talk, but the Magicstomp is doing the amp modeling on this, the bass amp modeling, the acoustic guitar processing and the compression on the bass and acoustic. http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/MryXmas.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried other pedals in that spot in my chain and no crackle. Tried different cables with the Magicstomp in the chain, still crackle. It's sounds like a bad cable would but it is defintely the Stomp. Bad solder is my guess. Taking it into the shop tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
