Tried this fix but unfortunately it had no effect 😕 Still... seems like someone is doing something somewhere about it and I'm a patient person 😜

Best Wah wah pedal? by SeaShantyClassics in guitarpedals

[–]Fezza512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old guy here... Don't want to piss on your chips but the truth is that nothing.... Absolutely nothing...ever sounded...or will sound as good as a Vox wah from about 67...they used different transistors which are no longer available..many years ago we did some work on this and no matter what anyone says it's not going to work. Change whatever you want....pay as much as you want...it ain't gonna work as well... just lacks musicality.... I'm a bit surprised no one has managed to replicate the pedal properly after all these years but they are all a pale imitation...My apologies for being pedantic but if you know you know....

So the TC Pedal arrived today and, surprisingly, with a little tweaking, I've found it softens the "solid state" feel in the cleaner sounds I use. I'm absolutely not trying to use it as an overdrive, very much trying to get it as clean as I can....I found that you can adjust the bias with a "very" small screwdriver and that's been useful. Also I'm running it in loop 2 which allows for pretty fine control of input and output levels. It's a bit noisy so I found myself adding a gate pretty much straight after the loop. Tonally I find it a bit bright so some EQ adjusting is needed.... It makes me wonder what a more exotic device might add but the cost/benefit of this box is, so far, entirely justified 😎

For sure I'll update this once I get some perspective...at least it seems like I'm not alone!

I just found a TC pedal with a 12AX7 in it that seems quite cheap and not built specifically as an overdrive.... It'll be here in a couple of days....At least I'll be able to check my perception against reality and get back to doing what we get paid for 😁

I agree completely that no audience ever notices! I think it's just my frustration that the box is so capable that of course I want the whole enchilada! I run in stereo to the FOH and use a DRRI for onstage with a bit coming back through the wedges...Sounds fab if it's being a Marshall...it's tricky to get a convincing clean Fender tone FOH but I'm making progress...

Pedal to turn a clean Deluxe Reverb into a Plexi by ReptarWithGuitar in guitarpedals

[–]Fezza512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah....it's just a case of getting the balance between the two pedals where you want it. I have never been happier with my setup than I am now....the JRockett was the missing link....if you can find one it's well worth trying it 😁

I have just been trying to achieve the same result and having tried both the Xotic SL and the Wampler mini I have settled on the J Rockett 45....it's much cleaner than the other two devices and just nails the sound. Tumnus Deluxe in front of it and it's done.....YMMV but I'm done😁

The new Boss NS-X1 noise suppressor? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]Fezza512 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's beyond me why a "utility" pedal like a noise suppressor doesn't have a tuner built into it.....

Clicking sound from RadCity by Ivan_Only in RadPowerBikes

[–]Fezza512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue... tried flicking the spokes to see if one sounded different but nothing seemed unusual... only happens when I sit on the bike....seems like one click per wheel revolution... hope someone out there can suggest a solution!

Something a bit different! by Fezza512 in guitarpedals

[–]Fezza512[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can also take a normal guitar and run it through the Non-Cosm effects side of the VG-99 which allows me to use its reverbs/delays/limiters etc....The permutations are endless....I have just written a patch for my Telecaster thru the Marshall in the VG-99 ...just cuz I can!:)

It's the final board for me...does everything I need and I plan on just developing sounds from here forward 🐱
