More details to come... after I get some sleep. Heh.

Ah... Here goes.

This clip is basically a little showcase of just what 1 pedal can do. I think the AD2000 is a cool pedal with the ability to yield a variety of dirty tones just via the volume control.

It goes from cleanish grit to overdrive to distortion to saturated fuzzy-ness.

The clip starts with ... guitar vol @ 8. For some time. Then the cleanish grit tone, which is vol around 2. Then maxed out fuzzy-love-ness.

There is a section where I repeat the cleanish grit with real clean tones mixed with chorus/analog filter/delay - after that, the AD2000 is set to max gain.

I don't think the AD2000 should be approached as a od/dist pedal even though it is capable of doing such tones - its a fuzz thru and thru - so those who approach it should come with the right mindset. It feels different, it sounds different, it sustains different.

And, at what, 180 bucks? Quality build and a good degree of customisation available - why not?

Fixed.

I'm surprised though. I don't like the tones on that track at all.

 

[gsonique]

try doin the same wankage on my fuzzz ...

sounds like those cheap transistor amp dei !!

nice overdubs shred ..

 

[ChanMin]

i thought some parts of the track was very nice! im serious!
Those out of tune parts werent to my taste though...

but the Fuzz/Od tone did have a very signature/unique lo-fi sound to it.
But honestly i cant see any other uses for it other then for commercials..
e.g Extreme Sports advertisements, Gatorade ...etc

weezer, blue album...

 

[ShredCow]

Ya, the whole vibe is actually "lo fi" in nature and when the volume (gtr) is max-ed out, I can't say that its a spectacular tone, more like slightly starved...

However, I think the main thing about fuzz is really how it makes notes interact with one another... its that harmonic sizzle/interplay/disonnance thing that fuzz emphasizes - I think that's key to a fuzz's character.

Therefore, I can't wait to try the AD2000 on a tube amp - it has a LOT of volume on tap and the way it sounds with gtr vol down makes me think it could very well work magic with a tube amp.

haha nice stuff shred. the middle part was very avant-garde....reminded me of Buckethead.

i find this fuzz "sticky" and sound like its made with high hfe silicon transistors.

 

[trianglebiscuit]

i hear weezer and pseudo sting breakdown.

i liked it.

btw what is h f e ? :???:

btw what is h f e ? :???:

duuuh goose..... spank your backsite!

BETA:
One parameter tells you the amount of D.C. gain that the transistor will give you. It is generally called beta or hfe. If the transistor's beta is 150 and the transistor has 2 amps of current flowing through the collector and emitter, the current flowing through the base will be 2/150 or .013 amps of current.

Oh i see so what is the MOJO value ed ?

 

[edder]

Oh i see so what is the MOJO value ed ?

you know the magic mojo numbers goose... you tell me! :mrgreen:

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

the mojo is the more, the better. Less is more, but MORE IS STILL MORE!!!

 

[gsonique]

but MORE IS STILL MORE!!!

hiya MOE

I was watching this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1334393264126093750&hl=en

And I realised it sounds a little like the Jordan Bosstone / A.D.2000

 

[edder]

yup it sounded chewy. open it up and see if there are 2 diodes side by side.

See??? Fretboard wanking!!!!:mrgreen:

I like the texture it adds to the notes in general... but oversaturated fuzz makes me want to throw up... I actually can't see a use for high gain fuzz... I like the low gain stuff though...

And as Edder mentioned, chewy! I like!!!
