wow! all the D style pedals I've ever heard, this one sounds the best! It feels like huge headroom, If this was hard to find what would you as your No.2 D pedal?
@joeriffanucci Күн бұрын
I agree. One of my favorites. As far as a #2 goes I’d say Custom Tones Ethos Clean Fusion Deluxe/Overdrive. I’ve been using the Ethos Overdrive live for years. The newer CFD just went on my board. I just did a record with my OD as main gain tones. Here it is if you’d like to hear recorded. linktr.ee/morninggiants

Great question. I’d say the Zenkudo. Although I need to start working with the ss3 again. It’s fantastic for shelving eq with some of my more low end prone amps.

The clean Fusion deluxe really feels like a culmination of the OD, Fusion and Clean 3. I’ve yet to use mine live but have in rehearsals and it’s been great. Still refining my tones. I used the OD TLE live for years and it’s fantastic.

I just listened on some good studio monitors. There could be a lot of variables in the different videos, but my ear is drawn more to the D side of Ethos Overdrive. I like its clean side as well. Both are excellent, but the overdrive pedal is better for me.

What is your generel pickup height with flat Polens? Do you balance your pickups volume wise? Great video👍

Great question. Every pickup is different but I like about 1/8” from the depressed at highest fret string to top of pickup/pole. The bass side I adjust to volume/eq. I play live a lot with bands and can’t handle a lot of lower mids and lows in the mix. Always refining 😁

Great Video Aaron! The harm trem circuit in the trem channel kind of acts like another tone stack cascaded with the primary tone stack when the intensity is off. Its really a 300hz notch filter with some low freq. cut. Not to add the RC coupling going into the phase splitter is set to cut lows below 160Hz. Very very cool design. Do you have any clips with it cranked?

A few of the demos made the Boss sound exceptional, but in my rig I knew right away that I wasn't going to keep it; nothing special.Fuzzes with buffers, or the arrangements where you can use it anywhere in the chain, or even Benson's Germanium " bias stabilization" circuit ALL equally don't work for me.There's only a few Si designs that I'd say compete with Ge; once you hear it, you can't unhear it.I've come to accept that a cheap Harmonic Percolator copy can be better than a boutique Si Fuzz.As far as the Ampeg, they are outstanding, but anything over 20 watts in a tube amp is going to be more than will be practical for most applications.I'd much rather dime a 15 watt.I've acquired a collection of lower output heads to match with various speakers/cabs ,with the choice of the latter doing much of the heavy lifting.

I’m with you 100%. I love the bc183 for It’s stability. I use a Mas Effects Sona live but use white dot nkt275 devices at home. The new tube Gjika device I have rivals all transistors devices I’ve used.
@chickenbiscuit4525 23 күн бұрын
Those 183's are made in three different gain ranges. I don't know how much the input capacitor affects the response between hot stacks, strat/singkes or humbuckers. But this demo sure sounds nice as it is good to see you grooving. What about pnp silicone? Or even with a rangemaster tone bleeding tr/buffer. Truth be told it's how the front end gets pushed. For a tiny amp it sure sounds nice. God put on some effects for future demos...

You mentioned the pronounced mid-range of the brown deluxe. FWIW, I discovered it’s possible to shave a little off by jumping the channels: I plug the guitar into the high input of the bright channel and run a short cable from the low input to the high input of the normal channel & set the normal channel’s tone to around 2 (7 O’clock). But the amp still retains its wonderful character.
