First of all, what do you want the pedal to do? Are you looking for modulation, tone or delay or chorus ?
September 6, 2014 at 7:32 pm in reply to: What kind of tones can you get by mixing a LPB-1 with a Big Muff #120206Folkstone57MemberQuote:Hi EHX fans.
I have a recent version of the EHX Big Muff as my main distortion. Altough it is a good fuzz for the low retail price it as (but not as good as the 70’s version anyway), it seems that the more years i use it the less tonal possibilities it shows, mainly because it has pratically no mids. I know that using a transistor combo (a lame Fender FM212r) doesn’t help anyway, but im trying to achieve a more “sludgy” sound without changing my Muff because actually i can’t spend much money in gear. Anyway i saw someone near my hometown (Porto, Portugal) selling a LPB-1 for just 15 euros and i was wondering if mixing the big muff with the LPB-1 booster can deliver a more heavy sounding fuzz with more mid definition. So, does the purchase of the LPB-1 helps?
Thanks!The LPB is a treble boost, so it’s not going to give more low end obviously. I have no idea what “sludgy” means, but you’ll get the most tone shaping from a EQ pedal.
Folkstone57MemberSame Problem. In front of superego I’ve put the POG-2 and before this was the philosophers tone. I’ve changed this. It was to noisy.
But I love superego. SmallStone, NeoClone and a VolumePedal in send-return, sometimes the POG-2 (relay crazy), it works well in all3 modes. You have to learn the use and interaction of the potis. Never would give away. Next perhaps the Microsynth
[/quote]Sorry, but I’m confused as to what the problem is. Is the SuperEgo not picking up what you are playing or is something noisy ? If it’s a noise problem, your pedal must be defective because the one thing I’ve never had a problem with is noise with the SuperEgo. Even a noisy OD before the SuperEgo doesn’t make any difference because the OD isn’t coming through the pedal, it’s only providing a signal for the SuperEgo to do it’s thing. Now, noise may be coming through the DRY out. Otherwise, I’m not sure what is going on.
Folkstone57MemberHello,
First of all you will probably get more replies if you move this to the Technical help forum, since that is the question you are asking.
Second, your question is lacking the most important info: what kind of sound are you trying to achieve ?
I am using the Nano Mistress in mine & I love the sound but you may want a phaser or Freq Analyzer.Folkstone57Member” Here’s to maj7th/aug11 fretted chords shifted two octaves up! “
Not sure what the point is, but what about maj11/aug7th chords ? They should be just as amazing……….
Folkstone57MemberI have a Creamy Compressor onboard my Godin LGX-SA. It has the very nice feature that when you engage the thing via a pull-pot, you can set a volume. Problem solved. And, no, I don’t have a VOL knob on my guitar. I find the things useless & way too much trouble to deal with or think about……..
Folkstone57MemberI agree that not being able to “park” the pedal is a serious flaw with these pedals. I don’t agree at all that the Next Step series is a failure. That’s an all or nothing approach that just doesn’t apply. You can, of course, calibrate the pedal to “park” in a spot with a little planning ahead but that doesn’t help if you’re playing live & your leg is turning into a giant cramp……………
Folkstone57MemberI would love for EHX to come up with an AD pedal as I am in the process of trying to find one. I’m trying out the Malekko & a Moeer is on it’s way but I would certainly prefer to buy one from EHX. Since I don’t use or have a VOL knob on my Electric but I do occasionally need the FX, it’s one of the must-haves for my pedalboard. It would be great if it weren’t just a sensitivity & decay knob set-up, but more like the AD set-up on the Micro-Synth or H.O.G. I don’t really care about reversing the input because there are plenty of delay pedals out there that can do that just fine. It would also be nice if it had the option of taking the SESN out of the pedal, so that with each note, no matter how loud of soft, the FX would kick in if the last note is damnped.
May 8, 2014 at 6:13 pm in reply to: Need suggestions for smoother boost after Big Muff Pi for leads #119947Folkstone57MemberI use an ARTEC ParaEQ in front of mine & it sounds great. It’s not that expensive & it doesn’t take long to get the sound you want.
Folkstone57MemberI don’t have any problem with the Tone Wicker Muff & I don’t see any reason to turn it into a Nano. It is my favorite Muff along with my English Muffin which I also love & definitely don’t want to see go the route to Nano & lose the tubes that are why I love the pedal. Main reason I like the Nano Muff is that just like the TW Muff, it has no problem being pushed by another pedal & it just sounds great. Not the same as the versatility of the TW Muff, but for what I’m getting out of it I’m amazed.
January 16, 2014 at 11:54 pm in reply to: Electro-Harmonix has released the new Nano Big Muff #119621Folkstone57MemberI was able to get one of these great pedals from Matt at The Mad Ape & I am very impressed. For such a small convenient enclosure it sounds great. I’m not a big fan of loads of noise but this pedal gets some very nice cleaner sounds with just a bit of hair that impressed me right off the bat. Another great product from EHX !
Folkstone57MemberHello All,
I would think that using a compressor before the SE would work as well. I’ve used a Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone before the SE & it seems to work well. I have tried a clean OD but it didn’t seem to be any different from a COMP.
Folkstone57MemberHello,
There are many switchers that have various kinds of links for running multiple boxes. I have the Rocktron Patchmate & it has this ability. However, I would say that at 16 pedals & they all have to be used separately, you’ve really got a bit of a nightmare on hand. I have 8 loops available & three of them so far are multiple pedals because they are the groups I use at the same time. If you do a little planning you will probably find you will be able to create groups that will work & save you the expense of all those cables & boxes.Folkstone57MemberGet an audio loop patcher like the Rocktron PatchMate or Carl Martin Octa-Switch. Gives you a lot more flexibility with your pedalbaord.
Folkstone57MemberI would suggest an audio loop controller, like the Rocktron PatchMate or the Carl Martin Octa-Switch. That will give you far more results & of course loads of combinations of your various pedals.
