arcadesonfireParticipantQuote:This is the eighth pedal in my chain starting with a tuning pedal. The good news is that as I’ve gotten more accustomed to the Super Ego so that I can just play like me without having to boost the gain of my eq pedal as much, if at all. There really is a significant learning curve/ adjustment phase when you start using the Super Ego….much more than many other pedals. It’s definitely about learning a “feel” with one, maybe even more so than “dialing in the right settings.”
Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Sounds kinda like using the pedal is like playing a good amp. Dialing doesn’t matter as much as playing to the amp. I’m gonna grab a Superego!
arcadesonfireParticipantI was also gonna suggest buffering.
When you guys have had trouble with the auto function, were you sending the guitar straight to the Superego? Or did you have any pedals between your guitar and the Superego.
I think I’m about to get one of these, and I’m hoping that if it is after my tuner pedal (which buffers the signal), then it will work fine. I hope i hope.
arcadesonfireParticipantQuote:I’ve just started using a small Rolls crossover with my micro POG to do this. Works really well. I’d buy a new POG in a second if it had a built in crossover with adjustable frequency. Q for the transition would be swell too.Excellent choice! A couple months after I wrote my post, I quit using the Boss OC-3, and got a micro POG and got the same Rolls crossover!! I got a cheapo DOD bass equalizer to cut way down on 55 hz, cuz the Rolls had such a gradual rolloff slope, leaving the first 5 notes on the guitar way louder than the rest on the E and A strings (at least in my situation). I also got a cheapo compressor too. I’m looking forward to the day when i can put more money into better EQs/compressor to make this rig much better.
Anyway, you can hear how it turned out in the studio on this record: http://steel-phantoms.bandcamp.com/ (“Curtain Call” and “Friend to Friend” were the OC-3. All the other songs are this Rolls crossover/Micro POG setup–but with the studio’s Keeley compressor instead of my crappy one). And you can hear it in a live studio set up here: http://blip.tv/seriousbusinessonbtr/steel-phantoms-serious-business-on-btr-ep130-6628628 and here: http://www.breakthruradio.com/#/programdetail/?blog=94&post=1557
I’m not sure how well that radio interview thing shows it off, but I tell ya, i’ve played over 20 shows with this setup, and people constantly come up asking if i was using a loop to play the bass guitar parts. Or they’re just dumbfounded. If you get some recordings up online with your rig sometime, post back here, i’d love to hear it. Go POG go!
