Pedals... your opinion?

[AaronSoFat]

i'm thinking of buying guy a tone OD-2's and stacking them. getting a really raw sound out of them in the shop. anyone thinks i shouldn't?

 

[leecs]

Its always nice to stack 2 ODs. You're using tube amp or solid state?

 

[AaronSoFat]

solid state dude. sounding quite good at home but not gonna bring it for gigs. haha

 

[subversion]

if this inspires you to play better/ trigger great ideas, you should

 

[niteblade]

hey if i stack a ocd with a mild drive like sparkle drive; can i acheive crunchy distortion? (not so hardcore, maybe something like paramore)

 

[Godspeed64]

The pedals you cascade got no crunch, how to get crunchy distortion?
Lol.. Try different settings on it first, if still nothing, you need a a different pedal..

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

heh, how wud crunch sounds like?

 

[subversion]

nice crunch can be had if you boost a Blues Driver

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

heh, but then, does it crunch like paramore? Or crunch like the idea of crunch in our mind over the sound of crunch in his definition

 

[Godspeed64]

God knows.. I take crunch to be the Marshall crunch..
Or MI Audio Crunchbox.. Paramore got crunch ah? Haha..

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

hehe, see, thats the problem with sound. How come one can hear crunch in certain thing but yet others dont or have another idea of crunch?

Is the problem with the sound itself or our definition of the sound being heard?

 

[Godspeed64]

Its our perceptions man..

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

heh, thats scary liao, which cud mean our perception of tone/sound to certain percentage, contain flaws to a certain degree and when putting in place of recommendation, part of this recommendation contain our perception and thus bestow on to the person asking recommendation subconsciously, instilling the idea of how certain sound, sounds like, according to us, even thou the sound might not be what the person is looking for in the first place.

 

[edder]

its like the perception of tele TWANG and they're all talking about the tele neck pickup got TWANG. its the bridge dammit!

TWANGKERS i is tells you... TWANGKERS!!!!!

 

[Godspeed64]

TWANGKERS i is tells you... TWANGKERS!!!!!

edder.. That sounds wrong! 8)

And Pathein is just plain confusing.. Hahaha..
Ain't this world all about perceptions?
Some find the metal zone to be a gem, others a chore.. Simple and perfect example.. Lol..

 

[niteblade]
