Re: special sauce, secret goo



First, sorry Bill, I sent this to you personaly again by mistake .I must remember to check the reply to!
 
My current set up is like this. Fernandes sustainor guitar-BBE Optistomp-EB jr volume-Digi synthwah(mean mutha!)-digi Bad Monkey(very nice overdrive)-Digi RP250(twin model for clean-Mark 2 C model for crunch, add Muff model or PI model for distortion/fuzz), the 250 is not my ideal way to go but it's cheap and pretty good with a great wah/whammy. Coming soon! ups delivery is the Zvex Fuzz Factory! The Vexter model was just cheap enough sans custom paint for me to bite the bullet. Sorry to all my friends that won't be getting gifts from me now.
then Digi Hardwire Reverb-DL4-DD 20-EH 2880-----into mixer, then computer/headphones or Behringer keyboard amp. My favorite fuzz sounds seem to come from germanium transisters or their models.
That said back in the 'day" I played in a 9 pc band with horns and the only way to cut throgh was guitar-crybaby-maybe tube screamer or Rat into a Marshal JCM 900 50w. I think a good tube amp is the best sounding distortion I have ever used. Amp models (that I have used/IMO!) just aren't the same. It's just not feasible for me now to go that route for alot of reasons right now. Like lotsa cash! And I don't play out....for now.
 
peace to all,
 
Jeff

Subject: special sauce, secret goo

Hey!   can’t we get back to talking about Special Sauce and Secret Goo?  I’m with Kevin,  and I started this thread, OK? So blog buddies what’s your poison, I know we’ve been over this before but it bears repeating, as peoples taste and gizmos change.  What distortion are you using and what do you like? Are you an overdrive and amp distortion guy like me, does distortion  do  it for you, are you a metal monger?  or are you a fuzz fancier, ( there should be a periodical called Fuzz Fancy like Dog Fancy the magazine for dog lovers)  show me what you got and tell me why. I love my newest overdrive the Zendrive, as I previously stated, great at any setting ,and the Twin Tube is also very good sounding and tube driven  and a little more unruly and prone to feedback, at high settings.  I’ve been digging the octave fuzz setting on the M-13 lately that sounds great on the lap steel ,  I can get sub octave death metal lap steel tones,  oh baby!

Bill
