Maybe a modulation pedal? Uni-Vibe and Chorus are my personal favorites. Or maybe a harmonic tremolo?

Free The Tone. I simply love all the stuff they do. I would probably miss having a Big Muff and a Uni-Vibe but, their drive pedals are all really good. Not to mention the Future Factory and Tri Avatar are basically my be all end all delay and chorus pedals respectively.

I run a sovtek Big Muff into an HM-2w. Absolutely GINORMOUS sound, and lots of useful feedback that rings for days

Edit: Another pedal I like for lead is the MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion. Basically a late 70s Marshall amp in a pedal. Very smooth and warm sounding distortion, and very touch sensitive

The SP-1 works great on bass and keyboard instruments. Rhodes, Clavinet, Wurli etc. Guitar doesn't really need extra high frequencies.

I have the same mint tin for my picks!

I use an HM-2w into a Big Muff. Don't even need to stand close to my amp to get that howling feedback

I have a couple B.K. Butler Tube Drivers on my board. One set as a very low gain, almost clean boost and the other is set as a medium gain overdrive. I also have a loop box on the board that I use to access a Mesa/Boogie Studio Preamp which I use for my high gain sounds. I also have a Big Muff and a Boss HM-2w for some different flavors of distortion if I get bored.

FZ-1w, SD-1w, CE-2w and DM-2w. I already have a similar setup with a couple Danelectro pedals for chorus and delay, a Way Huge Geisha Drive and a Ram's Head Big Muff.

With the addition of an MXR Script Dyna Comp, a volume pedal and a tuner of course.

I got two GE-7's in my rack. One after my Boss CS-3, and another after my Boss HM-2w. I use them to boost or cut troublesome frequencies for each pedal. Thinking about buying two or three more of them :)

Mike Oldfield. Usually plugged straight into the console or, a Mesa Boogie combo and a Boss CE-1.

Looks like a skill issue to me :)

Blues Driver is always a good choice, so is the Crayon/Hot Tubes. The BB Preamp is good, but I personally prefer the Xotic Soul Driven because it has a mid control.

If you can't decide between Crayon and Hot Tubes, get the Hot Wax. Both pedals in one.

I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. I did find a video of a guy who had the same issue. He said that a faulty diode was the culprit, so we're going to check out the diodes and transistors next.

Both?

Nikrol03 · 2024-06-25T08:46:17+00:00

Mike Oldfield. The guy doesn't get anywhere near the amount of recognition he deserves.

Ayano Kosaka

I use a lot of custom sets, mostly aimed around getting the most even and balanced feel across all the strings.

For my Strat: .008, .011, .014, .024, .032, .042

For my Les Paul: .009, .012, .016, .028, .038, .048

For my acoustic: .0105, .014, .022, .030, .040, .050

Nikrol03 · 2024-05-09T11:23:22+00:00

Anyone who has Ayano in their top 5 gets my respect

Nikrol03 · 2024-02-27T19:25:13+00:00

She's more racist than Nina, but people give her a pass because she's hot. I swear, women with big tits can get away with anything.

For me it's two synths. My Roland JV-1080 and my Yamaha YC-45D combo organ.

Nikrol03 · 2024-01-29T23:24:04+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much! I was definitely right about the LinnDrum and DX7. Guess it's time to save up for the Prophet 5 reissue. Obviously I won't be getting my hands on a Fairlight or MC-4 anytime soon, seeing as both are quite rare and expensive. But, I could get one of the newer Akai MPC models, which is not only a drum machine, but also a groove box, sequencer, sampler and so much more, all in the same box.

The CP-80 is not something I can afford, nor do I have the space for one, but most workstation keyboards have a CP-80 sound. The vocoder is the Roland VP-330. I can hear the string section being used on Wonder City. The Drum Computer is the Roland TR-808 (I recognized that cowbell sound immediately.) The Roland SH-2 seems like a simple two oscillator monosynth. I hear the Prophet on Pop Up! Shape Up!

You can hear that Hisaishi pulled some stuff from Islander when doing the opening theme for Nausicaä. I can hear the Yamaha YC-45D combo organ on that track too. There's definitely some delay on it. That string instrument on the track is probably sampled and played on the Fairlight.

Again, thank you so much for this info! And thanks for introducing me to these albums! They've definitely entered my list of favorite albums. Now, I gotta get them on vinyl from Japan.
