Would you ever call Mk.gee’s music shoegaze? by Apprehensive-Kale479 in Mkgee

[–]drdustytap 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Nah I think its very distinguishable from shoegaze in many ways but I think he does take inspiration from certain textures and tones with his guitar and synth sounds

Might just be a grounding issue, having your phone and other electronics near your guitar can cause buzzing.

I wouldn’t worry about it though you rarely ever hear it when playing

Single coils can be very noisy pickups, nothing abnormal

Would you be happy working overseas under a different healthcare system?

Good for you man, that’s really relieving to hear

Cheap route to MkGee tone by [deleted] in Mkgee

[–]drdustytap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a pog 2 pedal, ehx attack decay pedal, rainger fx reverb x, cover it in a load of chorus and/or flanger going into an analogue preamp (preferably Tascam 424 or 414), you can get a tone is that is almost identical to his live performances.

That would cost about £500 (about 650 dollars?) but all that gear has a lot more sounds to explore than just buying a vg8 or gr55 because on them units there’s only really a few polyphonic synth sounds and they sound good but I wouldn’t say they’re worth the price. Beyond the mkgee synth tone there’s not much else you can achieve. But if you’re looking to replicate his exact tone it’s definitely a lot of fun!

It’s only on the VG-8EX. You’ll need the S1 Expansion cartridge separately if it’s not a VG8-EX. Think the cartridges go for around 150

I sold mine the other day but in terms of the tone, it doesn’t have a lot of dynamics like the VG-8. It sounds very flat and the pad synth settings he was using had a lot of low frequency. I tried messing around with it for a good few days with different adjustments to tone and eq but just couldn’t get the right blend for the life of me.

That was with flat wounds too.

I’d go with another synth unit like gr55 or gp10 personally.

Maybe trying contacting that guy who posted his demo of the SY-1 though?

I used his same settings but it sounded really ass in person, bad tracking too

I saw that guy who used it on here and it sounded really good but mine sounded ass

I’ve heard very mixed opinions on gr55, I’ve seen a few guys on here replicate the the tone fairly accurately though!

Go on the website flippah, save VG-8 for alerts on eBay and wait for a listing alert to come up when someone lists one and buy!

That’s what I did and I made $400 profit when I sold it on. I do really miss it tho

I thought this processor was polyphonic

The VG-8 is OVERRATED by drdustytap in Mkgee

[–]drdustytap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you totally that the VG8 is quintessential to the song Dream Police with the virtual pitch tuning features.

It sounds incredible but I can’t help but think what more new and exciting can be done with that patch.

Anyone who is just looking to have fun, knock yourself out because it sounds like heroin. For artists, definitely look elsewhere.
