TERC Tri-chorus Clean Tones

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

Best chorused tones i ever heard. Wow.

[@steffenbrix]

I use the Yamaha SPX90 as my main setup for that stereo detune....it's the best sounding there is. I have no noise issues :)

[@jaguarsunburst1570]

Great Sound Man 🎸

[@joseovelasquez6264]

Just love this tone man sounds full and stereo imagin connected in a good sound console live in a nice venue the fullness this guitar would sit in a band

[@JackNance22]

Great demo, I really wish they'd start making the TERC again.

[@Danthehorse]

Mike Fullerhas just started making them again, at 4k a pop!

[@fre4409]

Awesome! Love the Landau tone.

[@funkystudiocat]

Great job. Great tones.

[@Shelscast]

Great playing and great tone!

[@WiserInTime]

Whoa!...you took me back there when you started playing stuff from Boston's Third Stage. I wanna go back to that year.

[@guitarist6494]

This is making me want a strat

[@arjunthongram8032]

Me too

[@cici-mama]

Please don't ever delete this

[@georgebarry8640]

I agree...I play guitar...and I could listen to this forever.

[@cici-mama]

@@georgebarry8640 good taste😘

[@jean-renepirlet7726]

Great sounds and playing! :-)

[@tattoofred]

Beatifull sounds

[@taemian]

So glad I came across this, it's the video I've been searching for! Thanks for making it! Just wondering if you had any of the problems other people are talking about, and if not, what your serial number is. Shiva just released The Wave and Lil Wave so I want to see if I should look at those instead. Thanks!

[@Veranek]

Great tone man!!!

[@lancethompson8516]

thanks man. when using the real dyno with an eventide for pitch shifting...the dyno is 85-90% of the chorus u hear...it's strong

[@GIORGIOMARCHETTI100]

wow!! wonderful tone!! I've just bought the TERC and I'm wondering to use H3000 for detune...mmm...

[@timothywinters2888]

what is this kind of sound it sounds amazing

[@JendrixHimi]

Reverb.... kills TONE!

[@josephballew]

Sound is about distance. Some you want close and some far away. This is atmosphere. 80s. Musicians got rich off of this tone. The reverb tail is a little long. You can't use this tone with higher gains.

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

One of my oversights in making this video was mixing the camera mic with the direct guitar signal. It made the reverb sound about twice as strong (and long) as it should have been. Another was not turning the reverb off and comparing sounds. However, I never counted on so many tone purists anticipating a more professional demonstration of a product - this video was a bit of an afterthought of my noodling. But yes, it's true that the 80s were known for massive sounds: lush and plentiful reverbs, choruses, stereo imaging, etc. Listen to Landau's work on "Hold On to the Nights" and "Heaven Only Knows" by Richard Marx - those guitar sounds are drenched in reverb (not to mention, absolutely gorgeous)! And I should mention, the reverb levels in this video (excluding the camera mic's contribution) allow the guitar sounds to mix well with other instrumentation. The reverb on an isolated guitar tends to weaken once you mix in other sounds, and you find yourself cranking up the `verb.

[@olsza6969]

Alesis Wedge Reverb, amazing sound, I think all digital unit without digital pass through line right?

[@tubo777]

amazing sounds and playing man. You should try Dream theater Pull me under, I think it will sound better than the tc 1210

[@liedgitarrist]

great sound and playing by the way, but the reverb is half of the fun!

[@coyote1able]

Great trichorus clean sound. Would you please send me the trichorus setting you have in this vid. I cant figure out the settings to get this tone. Greatly Appreciate it.

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

Sure. Here you go... Effect: On (engaged) Outputs: Stereo (engaged) Preset Mode: On (engaged) Manual Mode: On (engaged) Left Intensity: 12:10 Center Intensity: 12:15 Right Intensity: 12:15 Speed: 12:15

[@zenfrenzy4819]

Thanks for posting...awesome chorus! Hope Fulltone still has one for sale by the time I can afford one! BTW...my SPX90 was soooo noisy. How do you keep it quiet?

[@YasserAbdelmonsef]

I'm sorry for the like You deserve ♥

[@lancethompson8516]

is ot just me or does whatever u are using for pitch shifting sound better than the terc? what are u using? lastly what are you using for reverb or is that just a massive delay?

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

could you do a demo where you use the neck pickup and some arpeggios?

[@secondtribe]

Great sound and playing! From what song is this 10:52 Landau's lick?

[@secondtribe]

Thanks a lot!

[@dannybrymer6630]

Sounds great! So do you detune the chorus or chorus the detune? Unsure about chain placement.

[@sirjaz1]

it will be awesome if they would make a pedal version of this. :)

[@georgebarry8640]

Many,Many,Many have tried..Ive never heard any PEDAL get close.

How to make that detune on SPX90 and is it possible on SPX90II or SPX990?Thanx

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

Thanks for watching. I'm not sure about the SPX990, but I think it does detuning. I'm pretty sure the SPX90II does, though. For the standard SPX90, the "Pitch Change C" program can be used for pitch shift detuning. If I remember correctly, I had the right channel at +10 cents and the left between -10 to -15 cents with the wet/dry mix (balance) around 45% (which is maybe a little too strong). Delay was somewhere around 30 milliseconds. The right and left channels are really irrelevant in my discussion here because a mono signal fed the tri-chorus from the detune (which is not the most authentic signal path if you're trying to recreate true 80s tri-chorus sounds).

[@Danthehorse]

Straight from rack into recording interface?

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

Yes, though mixed with the camera microphone.

[@Danthehorse]

​@@TheOfficialRobbyIcejust come back to this again, such a great tone and playing. In the description, you mention boss eq and overdrive , are they from pedals or a rack unit ?

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

They are from the ME-8 multi-effects processor (floor processor).

[@lancethompson218]

what all effects are you running

[@lancethompson218]

are you running the terc in a parallel effects loop?

[@mdjababoe]

Great sound! How is the signal route? TSC/SPX90 parallel or serie, do you use a line mixer?

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

Martin Djababoe Thanks. The SPX90 fed the TSC via serial routing. A line mixer was used only for adding delays and reverb (parallel). Not the most authentic routing, but not necessarily wrong either :-)

[@mdjababoe]

TheOfficialRobbyIce Wow the spx90 in serial feeding the TSC?!! If i do that my tone wil lost because the SPX is really a tone sucker! Than i'm very surprised how nice and clear your tone is.

[@eddievhfan1984]

Depends on which SPX you use. Later models do 44.1kHz sampling rates, which should help preserve more of the high end. I'm more familiar with Kristian Larsen's technique (check out his channel, he rocks) of feeding Tri-Chorus through an Eventide H3000 for detuning (and sometimes reverb), rather than detuning through the chorus.

[@mdjababoe]

That's how Landau doing it... TSC using as splitter feeding the SPX90. SPX was well known as a tonesukcker even the later models so thats why i was surprised. And i know Kristian from HRI and he has a great '80 sound and love his playing.

[@taemian]

Can you use an SPX-90ii for a faithful detuning effect as well? And does this unit use a better sampling rate as well? I couldnt find it in the specs, but it was in the spx90 specs. usa.yamaha.com/products/live_sound/processors/spx90ii/?mode=model

[@petedonaghyguitar]

What do you guys mean by "detune"? Is that an effect?

[@TheOfficialRobbyIce]

Pete Donaghy Yes. That would be detune/pitch shifting. Pitch shifting generally refers to shifting at the semitone or half step interval. Detuning generally refers to shifting a fraction of a semitone (generally referred to as "cents"). Signal processors with pitch shifting capabilities typically feature detuning or some semblance of it. It has a chorus-like sound to it, but detuning is not really a true form of modulation.

[@petedonaghyguitar]

TheOfficialRobbyIce Interesting. Thank you for the reply. It's a new term for me. I love that sound. Thanks again.

[@liedgitarrist]

and now we turn the Reverb off! ;o)

[@lancethompson218]

Joke compared to a dytronics. Dont let these videos fool u. No comparison
