Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Been away for a few months touring and remember allot of heat and intertest ( from myself also! ) re- the Tonecore Flanger and a few others .... did anybody buy these units and what was the results? Good? Bad?

I don't want OLD discussions on Tonecore, I was a part of all that. I want to hear from people who tried them or bought them, IN REAL TIME with CURRENT opinions
Members t_e_l_e Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 i love my echo park... nice options, nice sounds but i still use my dpl-10 and i will built the byoc delay this weekend to have more options
Members 4Kenoath Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 The only one that interests me is the Verbzilla, and so far, people seem to like it a lot.
Members mrbluetone Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 The Verbzilla is most excellent..deep sounding and plenty of choices to dial in!

Ahhh, thats a new one one me ... Reverb I guess? What was the lowdown with the Flanger and the Roto thing Jim ... any reports? There is only one review of the Liquiflange at HC and NOTHING on the Boss RT-20! Did anyone we know of buy one of these yet?
Members RoboPimp Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 the main problem is that they are tone suckers, the sound is decent but when you take them out of the signal chain it's like a thick blanket of fakeness being lifted from your tone... unless you already have a pile of pedals in your chain then you might not notice it that much.

Yeah ... sounds about right too. I remember there being some question regarding the tone sucking and the digital vibe with these but at the time the THEN NEW Flange and Roto pedals were yet to be tested. I have found one or two reviews online elsewhere that make the same complaint generally about the TC stuff ... tone suckage .. it must be true then. Have you tried the Boss RT-20 Robo?

I care not for Line 6's ideas on wobbliness. Yeah, crappy bypass is a turn off. I don't need one...I just thought the clips sounded interesting.
Members Squier Fat Telecaster Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 Crunchtone does a good VOX Class-A sound. I have it set up with a hint of grit and treble boost for that classic jangly chime. Not a tone sucker to me.....but then maybe I don't get too caught up in boo-teek bypass issues or eric johnson battery and cable differences......as Frank said........ Shut Up 'N play Yer Guitar

The crunchtone is all digital, just forgo the amp and plug a POD right into the PA, your tone will be identical. That's all these "tone core" pedals are, a simplistic POD stuffed into a stompbox.

That's NOT my experience. I got an Echo Park, and tried it in a TB Loop too.There's a slight difference in tone, but that's maybe 1/4th of the tone-suck of any Boss pedal.AND the Echo Park slightly boosts the signal, which for me is a plus, since I only use it for leads.
Members Vince Posted December 6, 2005 Members Posted December 6, 2005 I've got a Rotomachine on the way - it'll be here on Saturday so I'll try and get a review done over the weekend.
