Using overdrive creatively: preamps, pedals, plugins, test equipment

[@daccrowell4776]

All the distortion, none of the stray gamma radiation! Nice! That CR-4A's sounding really tight as hell, Hainbach. One little aside note that I'd mentioned to Hainbach about it that didn't make it into the video: you're actually looking at very early ARP equipment there. Or rather, ARP's founder, Alan R. Pearlman ran a firm which made scientific-grade op-amp modules, Nexus Research, and popping a CR-4A open reveals a pair of those Nexus modules at the core of the device. And yes, just like the ARP 2600 circuits, they're potted in little resin blocks. Later on, Princeton Applied Research became a division of the huge and not all that visible company EG&G...yeah, the same people who're the primary contractor for Area 51! So if you'd thought Hainbach was working with possible extraterrestrial tech...well, he may well be!

My favorite thing about any gear with input is that it will have it's own unique sound when over-driven. From expensive things down to toys, each has it's own unique character that comes out when driven to distortion. So a I have a lot of things in my collection (like tape recorders) where their other functions don't work or I don't use them, just because I like the distortion. It's an area where cheaper things tend to have more character. Like you said: With the high-end preamplifiers, they don't have usually have a very exciting distortion. They're made to resist distortion.

[@stuartchapman5171]

Hi, I just posted on this subject as well. We are a minimum wage soundsystem and studio. We use donated, second hand and charity shop gear, we have little technical electronic knowledge, so we build simple stuff. We have use simple free DAWs on reconditioned lap-tops. The sound is lush, extremely well textured, and it seems to appear out of nowhere, we just go with it, it's like having an unknown entity jamming along with you. Have you tried knocking up a tape bow violin? a simple sample manipulation tool.

[@toniyu8380]

a nice trick if you want to get more distortion from analog mixers preamps, is to cranck the gain all the way up, take the direct out to another channel strip, and repeat the process 3 or 4 times to get those gabber kicks !

[@Hainbach]

Oh damn yes!

[@MePeterNicholls]

[@andrzejkatkov8597]

I like the distortion I get by driving some compressors input (mainly software Fairchild replicas and such). There was a record, where I used compressor a booster pedal for guitar in front of an amp sim, and I got really nice results. If I remember correctly, the opening track on NIN's Downward the Spiral, was additionally passed through an analog compressor for that drive effect.

[@424Recording]

So many oceans of distortion waiting to be discovered! Cheers, Hainbach. Nice pick up on the mixer, I like that you keep that radioactive unit for the overdrive capabilities, and man, that prototype pedal in the old boss enclosure is lit! And nice tape machines!

Been so surprised when you mentioned Devi Ever pedal! So underrated company. Internet lacking an information about it! I own their Disaster Fuzz and it works great for some extreme effects on synths and drums, but mostly in combinations with more clean layers of sound.

Fun fact: all steel after the detonation of the first nuclear bomb has minute amounts of radioactivity. Except for Geiger counters because they are made with "low background steel" which is a fancy word for steel taken from sunken ships prior to 1943. The reason for that is because the gamma and beta Rays don't penetrate that far underwater.

[@delta-9969]

Does this mean they'll eventually run out of steel to make geiger counters from? I can't imagine there's infinite amounts of pre-1943 recovered shipwreck metal floating around... then again, there's not a gigantic demand for geiger counters so a little goes a long way I guess

[@vaspers]

I own the Big Muff Pi distortion/fuzz and the amazingly destructive WMD Geiger Counter pedal. On my Moog Matriarch, the mixer module is based on a vintage circuit and you can turn up the overdrive on it, which has a bit of a distortion effect. Once again, you reveal to us very interesting equipment, and you are the Supreme Teacher of Obscure Gear. I'm so glad I discovered you, Hainbach. It's thrilling to follow your adventures with test equipment and nuclear devices. Soon you may even use that flame-controlled synthesizer, the jello controlled synth, and a mind-to-MIDI device like Soundmachines Brainterface!

[@SonicCircuitry]

Great video as always! One of my favourite overdrive sounds comes from overdriving transformer balanced preamps, like Neve and API style pre's.

[@ndrstrl1142]

Intentional ‘misuse’, within eurorack, vcv rack or the iPad Moog model 15, I’ve found it useful to clip out AC signals by firing DC envelope pulses into coupled mixers & vca’s... to take that further, mult the signal out back in, after AM’ing it with the original AC signal to create constructive interference similar to the asymmetric, rectifying distortion and compression from tube amps... love your channel, stay well & healthy

[@enterprismhouse]

Overdrive is such a great tool to make things more present and pronounced. I really love using the plug-in 'Decapitator' by Soundtoys for that sort of stuff

[@diemturner5755]

What is also fun is chaining channels. Take a 909 into ch.1 then take a lead from the direct out and patch it into ch.2. Repeat as desired. Making use of parametric EQs really adds to the complexity of the overdrive (it's worth emphasizing that the same EQ changes on ch.2 will sound totally different on ch.3). Just my two cents 😆

[@slicknoize]

you are hainbach, it is really really good to have you back 😂

[@HHcentre]

I use: Marshall Guv'nor from 1988 for distorting synths. Distortion is quite heavy on this one and cuts low frequencies. Also did some vocals with it - lovely. Maxxon Overdrive. Comparably 'easy' distortion, just lifting up the signal on synths. Elektron Analog Drive. My favorite pedal for distortions on synths. 8 different distortion models bring a lot possibilities. From "just a bit warmth" to total destruction of a signal. Works great to push drums as well.

[@monkey_breath]

Both of my favorite distortions are Fuzz pedals, the Zvex Fat Fuzz Factory, and the EHX Russian Big Muff reissue. The Zvex is so weird, and can even self oscilate, and become like an instrument of it’s own, or also dial down to add a little crunch, or make it sticky and wet sounding, or like velcro, and also like a bit crusher at times, it’s sometimes hard to handle, but once you get to know it, it’s worth every bit of the price. As for the russian big muff, it’s just a really good sounding fuzz, and handles bass frequencies really well.

Experimenting with distortion can be very inspiring. I urge anyone to try and achieve distortion with pedals and other equipment not originally designed for it. An old Lexicon reverb? Overload the input and see if you like the effect. Another distortion/saturation effect I like is to take digital emulations of tape delays, put the delay as low as it goes, 100% wet and then play around with the other parameters. Especially the feedback can generate some really interesting results.

There can also be a sometimes very nice distortion from “channel strip” plugins, or I guess any plugin with preamp and post gain. Try e.g. the UAD Neve 88rs on a TR-606, sounds great.

I prefer to run my overdrive pedal in parallel through a return on my mixing desk, that way i have a bit more control, i dont like the way desks break up so quickly.

The Un-Shaven Fuzz by D.I.Y. Guitar Pedals.au is splatty, and foul. We found that it, like some other extreme ones, work best with a guitar and, your instrument of choice Kalimbe. There's a really dirty simple low pass filter schematic on-line, I can't find it at present, the12db low res, low pass filter by Tony Light,, it's dirty, no clean setting, you could add a wet/dry knob if you wanted. But really simple, low part count. another technique is the feed back loops and no input mixing, techniques,you touched on in a recent video (we have that vibrato pedal, we'll be giving that a go). If you or a friend is into building, a Matrix mixer, is too easy, if a little repetative (repetiron being the 4th law of the Avant-Garde). People often complain passive matrix mixers are too quiet, we find going through a mic channel on a mini mixer as a sub mixer works, whack up that gain, by inserting this sub mixer, you've added another overdrive flavour. And with any non- input mixer, turn those knobs gently, on the Matrix. If you have a graphic EQ, roll off at the top and bottom end, this will protect your drivers. Stay safe, and use this time to push the experimental envelope,
