It's more for the classic fender guitar into amp sound.

Btw, brundy will have a field day when he reads what you wrote! :wink:

haha, thanks for remembering me. But for the amount of stuff which mr ben has/had tried, he is still way ahead of those who just read about it and start to rave or the instant raving on having to just discover something new :lol:

 

[ShredCow]

Nah, didn't forget you brundy. Would you care to try my blackstone? 8)

 

[MrE]

actually before i got my blackstar i was considering the Metal Muff... but the lack of true bypass put me off a little. i recall that the Small Clone i had was noticeably sucking treble..

hmm but now the talk abt compressed distortion is making me interested in the metal muff again... heh... just a little... hehe

 

[ShredCow]

I thought all EH products were recently made TB?

If a pedal doesn't satisfy you, you still wanna try similiar stuff... it ain't the pedal for you.

Spend a bit more time with it mrE... might be you just need to kick the Blackstar with an od pedal to make it "compressed".

 

[novocaine]

How about someone post some clips of the blackstar?

Use a true-bypass loop?

from what i read, it isnt TB

anyway, i do like the Blackstar alot.... i have no complaints against it, the open-ness and grit is great for hard rock and lead

but i also dig compressed metal rhythm tones.

i am a man of many fancies. polygamy anyone?

i suppose you are directing that question at me

anyway, i do not have recording gear so that is out of the question (for now)

for sound clips from the manufacturer, see this thread i started some time back

yes yes... interesting.... like the Banzai TB box that was on yahoo auctions not long ago?

we'll see.... one can never have too many distortion pedals

:wink:

Thanks bro! Was looking for this for quite a while

Just push it with a TS9, SD1 kind of pedal. It'll be compressed. Or run a compressor before it for tighter chug.


Looks like brundy ain't going to take up my offer on trying my blackstone out. Sheesh. Ah well. Hahaha...

Eternity into COT. 2 in 1 pedal.

urm. nice price.

 

[ShredCow]

Wow. That's something.

James, any news of your Eternity? Would LOVE to hear it.

Its a one-off production. So you bid what you feel its worth. Anyway, a E + a COT adds up to US$500 FYI. Even u resell you stand to make a profit.

 

[nickyseow]

that is really damn worthwhile.. oh well. lack of funds tell me otherwise.
hahaha

but im all for the eternity pedal. omg.

thanks for the offer. Iam over and done with gain pedal. There are far too many out there to even get through half of those that are found in the market. Different shades/character/sensitivity/open/warm/compressed/ will get tired, after years..

If you have any modular effect stuff that utilised cv and lots of patching, i will be really interested...

 

[ShredCow]

Well, i think the blackstone is worth a shot even if you are done with dirt pedals (since they are just rehashes of the same thing over and over). Its unique.

I am not yet into the other efx. Have never been. Have tried but even simple things like chorus/phasers/octaves put me off and I don't touch them any more. Maybe when I find myself getting dry in the compositional sense, I'll go there. For now unfortunately, I have not much modulation stuff going on.
