Quote:is there anyway you could plug directly into your mic input on your computer? (if you’ve got a 1/8″ cable for your speakers and a 1/8″ to 1/4″ adapter for headphones you should be able to hook it up)
I can, but it sounds so unbelievably crappy it’s not even funny.
I’ll record some stuff with the headset if you’re that hellbent on it.
The Jack Conte vid gives a good impression of the sound btw, but not really of the possibilities.
There’s a way bigger range than he displays. *of course he made it a song, so that’s to be expected).BRB with recordings
Any idea’s on how I can post them here? The max size for an attachment is 75kbOkay, a demo with crappy mic.
It clipped at some peaks, sorry for that.It’s just a fast one, it’s 23:00 here
Next thursday I’m recieving my microphone and I’ll make a more structured attempt. Here I just hit record and went with it. EHX Riddle demo mp3 Click here!! click if you dare!! (this is gross misuse of the hyperlink code whoohoo) Cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiickyclickerclick!!
(10mb download, 6 minute mp3 @ 224kbps, 48khz)
Played on:
– Custom built ash ’60s strat with vintage hot pickups, Fiesta Red
– Electro Harmonix Riddle: Q-Balls
– Laney VC100 clean channel, Sovtek/EHX tubes, pretty much flat eqFirst:
Clean sound (the mic sucks out all the warmth..)Startoff settings (in ‘o clocks):
Blend: 1
Mode: Bandpass
Attack: fully CCW
Decay: 9
Start: 8
Stop: 14
Q: 9
Sens: 12At 0:47:
High PassAt 0:53
Sens: 14At 1:13
Low PassAt 1:55
Distortion on
Band Pass**Sorry for the clipping**
At 2:42
High PassAt 3:23
Low PassFrom 4:07 – End For julian
Attack and Decay -> 12
At first I had the decay a bit too high, I backed that off and then I got pretty close.
Later I blended more clean in.Quote:trying to find a working link I found a picture of you and your girlfriend:thumb:
My arse!
Apparently webs.com doesn’t like spaces in filenames.LINK UPDATED AND WORKING
I’m off to bed now, have funI’ll check your reactions in the morning, don’t forgwt: this was a fast one, with a crappy mic.
Also I didn’t even scratch the surface, I only really showed the different modes and a bit of the attack/decay.
Quote:Thanks for the clip!On the slow attack settings it sounds like there is a short delay before the attack sweep starts. Am I just hearing things, or is there actually a bit of delay, or is it just sweeping through the inaudible frequencies? I’m thinking it’s the latter because a lot of low pass filters do that
Also curiously about how the filter starts to sound when the Q is cranked, down sweeps, and distortion for your next clip.
Yeah that’s the sweeping through the inaudible freq’s, tweaking the start can fix that though (and that makes my point about how great the start and strop knobs are
). This was just a fast “oh yeah and that” tweak, if you actually took some time (10 secs ) to also tweak the decay, start, stop and sensitivity, you could get even closer.Yeah if I get to it I’ll try that this afternoon, I’ll try to record it, but I foresee some clipping problems
The volume spikes are barely there.. but it’s the microphone from a headset, completely useless for dynamics like this.When I get my good mic thursday or friday I’ll make up a battleplan for clips. I think I’ll walk through the controls first and than do a batallion of different sounds that can be achieved.
it sounds so wobbly
Quote:it sounds so wobblyYes
But as I said you *can* smooth it out, personally I love it this way Quote:how’s the expression pedal function on it?
you can use it as a wah, right?I don’t have an expression pedal atm. My parts are coming in next week to convert an old wah enclosure to one.
I just found this sound, I just had to record it!!
It’s the following settings:
Blend: 12
Mode: Bandpass
Attack: fully CCW
Decay: 10-12
Start: 4
Stop: 10
Q: 1
Sens: 3With some help from a Boss DD-20, 400ms modulated delay
The high sensitivity slaps it immediatly to the stop frequency, and the slow decay than bring it sloowly down again. It’s a great sound.
EDIT: btw I kept the blend at 12 to let you hear what I played. I’d set that higher if I actually used it.
Quote:your demos don’t sound bad at all. Sure there are some peaks here and there, but I know it’s not the pedal, so it’s all good.Thanks! Very kind of you.
But it’s not even close to the sound of this wonderfull pedal with my favorite guitar through a 100 watt tube amp. The sound of the pedal shines through though so that’s good.
That’s good. I’ve heard things about some of the Qtron models being a little thin sounding.
Clip number 3 you please do slow attack downsweeps (you can change direction I think by putting the stop lower than than the start) in LPF mode with the Q cranked. Pretty please with sugar on top!
