The EHX Freeze sounds interesting xD

What do you guys think?

I'm planning to pick up a few things by the end of next month... at the top of my list would be these smile.gif

1. Fulltone GT500
2. Cioks Schizophrenic Power Supply
3. A wah. Possibly a Crybaby smile.gif or a Morley. Something used would be better.

What compressors/sustainers do you guys use? Planning to build up my pedal collection biggrin.gif

ESP>Wah?>Compressor?>Fulltone GT-500/MXR Doubleshot>Electro Harmonix Metal Muff> Chorus/Flanger/Phaser>Delay?> Noise Gate> Amp smile.gif

Priorities are the Fulltone/Doubleshot for lighter distortion, then the Compressor, the Wah, then a power supply then the delay xD then whatever else xD

I have the Metal Muff for my heavy distortion already... so yeah.

Awesome! biggrin.gif Record and let us hear some demos! biggrin.gif

What do you think of it?


QUOTE(freakfingers12 @ Nov 26 2010, 01:11 PM)
So I've been trying to understand modes for awhile, and I THINK it's something like this. A mode is like a scale that starts on a different note of the major scale to give it a different sound. So what if the backing track I'm trying to play over is not a major key, but rather a minor? How do I apply modes over minor keys? Sorry if I don't make sense at all, all this theory stuff is making my mind go retarded.
*
I'm not so sure either but, maybe its like this?

If its in Em, you play the G major mode? Does it work that way?

a scale has 7 sets of notes right? say the backing track is in E minor, but you wanna play it over a A minor/ C major scale. you'd would start with the E note, giving it a dorian feel. its basically coming in with the right notes over the backing track, for instance your first note could be a B over a G major backing track. i hope you'll understand what i'm trying to get across  sweat.gif

Odd question: Can Hollow body Guitars do Heavy Metal?
*
Its a BIG RESOUNDING YES.

In one of the older Guitarist/Guitar World/Guitar Player magazines that I have at home (which I'll refer to later, maybe tomorrow or something once I dig it out) there is a guy who uses a full hollow body V to play metal.

Its not how you control the feedback or the tones, its how you USE them to your advantage wink.gif By using hollows, you can get more sustain, clearer harmonics and feedback from WHEREVER! biggrin.gif

Check out Anvil, blurs the borders between classic rock and metal, yes, but the guitarist uses a Gibson ES 335/ a hollow Flying V. smile.gif

Yup, I saw it too. US$300-500 per copy from China if I'm not mistaken. A manufacturer contacted me once asking me if I wanted to buy a shipment of fake ESPs.

Added on November 29, 2010, 5:42 pmyo sifus, my friend passed me his Yamaha erg121c for maintainence(string change, polish, etc) and I find the tuning of this guitar is VERY BAD. every time I hit the trem, the guitar goes out of tune. are there any methods (bsides changing the stock tuners) to fix it?
*
I doubt it. Most beginner guitars for that price aren't meant to be whammied.

what will that do to the strings?
never rust ah?

Nahh, you know heat makes things expand? smile.gif

So therefore, the strings will expand and so they won't be so tight anymore.

I think he's kidding though wink.gif

Put in distorion pedals? thumbup.gif anyway, where can i get jet city amps in kl?

Ahh, Jet City is tempting, no? Class A amps for low low prices, with boutique wiring systems. Unfortunately, no. Jet City isn't available here at the moment. Call Thomann though, they do world-wide shipping I believe.

I'm worried about the shipping tax, custom tax, import charges.. Anyone has any clue about them?

Mate, honestly, unless you had cash to burn and really WANTED it so much, I suggest you don't ship it.

Your biggest problem, is shipping. It's EXTREMELY expensive as we're halfway across the world. Perhaps up to US$200-300 for a halfstack? I'm not so sure. It costed US$100 for me to ship about 2 20% cymbals from Turkey, so you get the idea smile.gif

I believe there is a ten % sales tax, but I don't know if you'll be charged that.

I just want a Distorted pedal, a Wah pedal and a Overdrive pedal. total cost around RM900? BOSS ME-70 has almost everything and cost about RM1200? But I heard bad things about it produces a "digital" sound.

QUOTE(Axel95 @ Dec 1 2010, 10:17 PM)
I'm kinda in a tough situation here.. Budget for this christmas is RM2000 or RM2500 if I get 6/7A in PMR.

My plans: Get a ESP LTD FX 260 NS rclxms.gif RM1500+ ship from sam ash. Then use RM500 to get pedals. OR buy the LTD and sell my micro cube for something bigger.

Don't ask me about the RM2500. I don't think i'll get those results... :/
*
RM2500 is pretty high xD

Hmm... Say after tax and all your FX is RM1.7k. TAX (10%?)

You'll have about 300 bucks. I suggest, save up a bit more, pull in the money from your sales, and get a used multi-effects board. Then you can start figuring out your sound. smile.gif

Hmm... How was your PMR? What subject do you think you'll go down on?

RM2500 high? yeah.. quite..

I've made out my mind to get the EHX Micro Metal Muff. PMR was kinda ok. I'm not sure on the subjects. Got only 1 A from school trial.. yeah.. thats the result of becoming a bedroom wanker i guess.. laugh.gif

Hmm... I only got two biggrin.gif HAHAHAHA!


QUOTE(Axel95 @ Dec 2 2010, 12:12 AM)
Anti pedal person advices me on pedals.. ok. smile.gif I've set my targets on the Metal Muff.. It has the Slipknot kinda Death-Metal-ish sound on it. There's a guy on youtube who demoed it with a Fender 59' amp with no signs of distortion buttons nor gain. So, i think its REALLY good. I'm running through my Micro Cube for now. Kumpul money agen for bigger ones.. or maybe sell it. smile.gif any buyers? brows.gif

I meant, I only got two for my trials wink.gif

After reading all the reviews and hearing them for myself, I've finally taken the plunge and asked Clement to reserve a Bare Knuckle Painkiller for me. After I install, I'll let you know biggrin.gif

Either ways, I'm planning to put a DiMarzio ToneZone S and a DiMarzio Area 58' in the neck and middle pickup slots respectively. What do you guys think?

Either that, or Seymour Duncan Hotrails in the middle and an SD Vintage Staggered in the neck smile.gif
