Members fourthave_cafe Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 Which one is the better buy? For anyone who knows Sugizo, I'm trying to get that sweet sustain he gets in his solos. Thanks Here is an example of his sound. Solo starts at 4:10 http://youtube.com/watch?v=dYur--e6PUc&search=luna%20sea%20into%20the%20sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who knows Sugizo, I'm trying to get that sweet sustain he gets in his solos. Thanks They sound pretty similar (got a CS-2 and a pre-LED block logo Dynacomp), but the Dynacomp's slightly sweeter, but hisses WAY more, when boosting an overdrive/distortion.

Members MrSage Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 If it makes any difference, The Edge abandoned his vintage dynacomp in favor of the CS-2. It depends on what you want to do with it. The CS-2 has an attack control, which is handy for different types of pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CS-2 has an attack control, which is handy for different types of pickups. Compared to the Ibanez CP9, they both lose some presence, which can be VERY helpful when playing Strats in bright amps. They ADD low-mid punch fatness too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fourthave_cafe Posted June 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 Thanks for all the help guys. I think I might go for the CS-2, as it is going for much cheaper on eBay. The sustain might not be as great as a script Dyna Comp, but its still great, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vaprogger Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 I have a block Dyna Comp and the CS-2, never have played a script but they seem so expensive relative to the well made blocks which are really not all THAT rare. Play your cards right and you might be able to score them both for a hundred though it sure took me some time. Just for kicks, I have been using them both in my chain for about a month (as long as I owned the CS-2, Dyna Comp first in chain, while the CS-2 is last, as a limiter). Generally, I do not break strings that often, but with all this dang compression things have been different lately. David Gilmour used them both together, though I think for only a few songs during a specific Floyd tour. My playing really is not that good, I hate mentioning it within the same paragraph as Gilmour. I think that the sustain on the units is equal, one obtains a bit more flexibility with the Boss (attack knob). Finding an affordable CS-2 would be tougher than finding a bargain block Dyna Comp at this point....I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 89strat Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 Originally posted by fourthave_cafe If you could only have one of the two on your board, which one would you keep? I had both and I kept the CS-2. It's sustains forever and sounds great, so much nicer to my ears. Someone mentioned Edge and Gilmour, and yes, I hear them both in this pedal. I recently got the tone press because of the blend feature and not surprinsingly, I dialed it in to sound the way I liked, with a little help from david barber, and it sounded like my cs-2. If you can afford it, find the tone press, otherwise, the cs-2 is a beautiful sounding pedal. I'd sell you my cs-2, but I'm still not sure I want to get rid of it yet, I play a strat and the sustain on the cs-2 is stronger than the tone press.

Members fourthave_cafe Posted June 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 CS-2 seems like a good choice. Would it be able to get sustain similar to the solo in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blungo Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 This may not be helpful, but i got rid of my CS-2, because even though it sounded good, it totally killed all high frequencies. DOD-280 doesn't do that, and it has enough squish for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, it really sucks that I can't play either one. I found out that Sugizo, the guitarist in the video uses an old script Dyna Comp. Since thats the tone I want, might as well go for it.

Members stangme01 Posted June 5, 2006 Members Share Posted June 5, 2006 Get a CS-3 and get the monte allums $20 mod. Better than both of those by a good margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
