decided to let you fellas hear a vid of the Seventheaven used live.... featuring Nailhood. A great senior and mentor whom i very much respect from my school's jamming CCA. His band Slingshot covered GNR's Sweet Child O' Mine in this vid. They played this during Helloween Night in a church dressed up as KISS. I was there rocking out with the crowd haha.

Seventheaven is on all the time, dynamics from "cleans" to dirt were controlled solely by the guitar's volume knob if i recall correctly from what he told me. Amp used is a Roland Jazz 160. He is also the only guitarist in his band. Enjoy.

Ok Advanced Journalism class is killing me already..... :(

Thanks bro for your kind words. You're a guitarist I really respect too, and definitely one of my most influential sources of "rig education". Cheers dude! :)

The 7th worked really well with the Jazz Chorus 160. Loved it. Improved my tone tremendously.

Thanks Goose, really think you did a genius job with this. Don't mean to "over-hype", but I've never been this satisfied with any other pedal in my short 5 years of gigging.

That was one happening party! Great crowd :)
 
Wah :shock: Keith C ...thanks for helping BP out by purchasing the 7th...

The whole high gain preamp is about getting that gain without blasting your amp. Saying that ...if its made to give it all a low volume, then at jam/gig volume it may swing the other way. ...thats the concern...:)
Been playing typical gain pedals for years and realized that they sound good all round but only setback is noise, mush and loses character as amp volume goes up.
For example...the Fuzz Face is loved by many, why ? because it has character eventho it may seem flawed, obnoxious and inconsistant.
When i first tried a germanium FF ...i crinched ...but giving it a bit more time (didn't have much time actually since it wasn't mine to keep) it just drove me nuts. After that incident it was Fuzz love for many years.:cool:

Use the tone controls to get best of the 7th at differant volume settings.

Thanks fellas ...appreciate it all :p

That's another AMAZING thing bout the seventh. It's so full, it works awesome wonders for one-guitarist type bands!!

"Ized: You need a better amp. The 6 1/2 speakers are just too minuscule for the 7th to manifest its true potential."

Wanna try it on some marshall stacks :p

Glad you guys liked the vid. Thanks Darrell for introducing Goose to us and thanks to Goose for inventing those awesome pedals!
 
alright..
played more with it.. and shred is right, the treble and mid knobs can give me a super wide array of tones with just minimum tweaking. its not entirely smooth/fat still, but im really loving this tone im getting now. perhaps a mod to my guitar in the future would do the trick.

and no its not true about the valbee. i am experiencing the bomb with the 7th even with my 8speaker. of course at higher volumes. im expecting a gigantic titanic atomic bomb when i start jamming again with it on bigger amps, cant wait!
thanks goose.
 
Everything in context mah... if I'm used to running stuff thru a 5" speaker, the 7th will easily sound the biggest of them all. If I'm used to running stuff on a 4 x 12 cab, then the 7th will easily sound the biggest of them all.
 
Speaking of 4 x 12 cabs.....I've gotten good results running through them so far...can read back abit when i talked about running it through Marshalls, Mesa Dual Rectifiers and Toneblasters etc. And each time the 7th has performed admirably well after some tweaking.

The 7th well does take to big ass speakers, which tend to show more of a pedal's flaws rather than cover them up. don believe me.... try playing a crunchbox into a 4 x 12 cab and then a/b it with a 7th. You'll realise how boxy and compressed the crunchbox actually sounds. On a small little practice amp, one might be hard pressed to tell the difference though. Other than the 7th being more touch sensitive and maybe even thin and transistor sounding.

I ran the 7th into a Peavey Bandit 112 yesterday provided for my band for an audition and i'm really surprised with the tones I'm getting. Awesome crunch through its 2 x 12 speakers.

If that bugs you... the latest 7th has a slight cut on the treble. I find it does make the "thin and transistor sounding" quirk less obvious.

Again, one would only hear it when having an a/b comparison.
 
Interesting Shred. i don mind doing an A/B comparison....just to hear the differences. i don wanna waste Goose's time doing the mod and not liking it and asking him to mod it back to stock again. Kinda defeating the purpose and i like stock just fine.

I love stock cos it really sounds great at jamming and gig volumes....it retains alot of clarity and it just sounds huge, just like an amp rather than a pedal.
 
Hmmmmm just wondering if i am mostly playing through 1X12 close back and open back cabs at home, will the 7th be less desirable or bad? Sadly i do not have the luxury of having a huge cab at home, and after hearing so many gd reviews through big cabs it makes me feel that my amps r inadequate.
 
how do you guys set your treble and presence (i dont really know whats being boosted/cut when i tweak em)

i tried running it through my randall rx15, ad30vt and ac15

my treble always has to be turned down to around 9clock
 
Hey niteblade, if possible pls post a review of the 7th through the AC15 cause i am very interested to know as i have one as well, thanx!
 
for my ac15

i didnt really like the sound i got initially because the treble/high mids were accented too much and i couldnt eq it away.

however after playing for two days.with tweaking here and there, i like some of the tones i can get now

i'd be bringing my board out to jam over the weekend. so i can hear how it sounds on other amps compared what i have at home

as of now. i cant really give a fair review yet

niteblade, my Gries gets too much of the treble working on the 7th.

Seems like other amps are just a-ok!

But then again - what kind of sounds are we looking for? I like a healthy amount of mids - because my guitar has a healthy amount of mids - so sometimes, the 7th doesn't have that side of tone.
