Re[2]: TC Sustain and noise in general



I've got a TC Electronics BLD (Booster Line Driver) pedal that I've
had for several years.  I guess I'd say that the pedal doesn't have
what I'd term a raging distortion sound but more of a lighter type
of disto tone.  Not my favorite tone, but...

The pedal also has a "boost mode" where I've used it as a boost pedal 
since it's got a fairly decent eq and a really nice noise gate built 
into it.  The threshold for the gate is adjustable by a small rotating
pot on the surface of the pedal.  There's also level / bass / treble /
and distortion controls.

It's also got an XLR out connector which is the only pedal I've ever 
seen that in before.  It also has a neat feature where when you first 
step on the footswitch the LED is at full brightness and it then gradually 
dims to nothingness - to conserve batteries! 

I don't use it all that much since my Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp is a bit
better at handling input signals.

Another sick pedal I have is an early issue MXR Blue Box - if you compress
it just right with the right EQ it sounds like an extremely lardaceous and
corpulent mini moog!  By itself it's really obnoxious.

I also have a Boss Octave divider, as well as a DD-3 delay.

Oh!  Can't forget the borrowed Ibanez SF-3 Swell Flanger - if you find one,
get one - it's a sick and amazing pedal!
