Tube is supposed to sound warmer......... NOT milder.

Woops, wrong word used lol thanks

Hi All,

Anyone can advice me how to get a lovepedal Gen5 delay pedal?

So guys, I wanna ask...I might be getting a Lil Big Muff Pi soon. But before that happens...

Reasons for buying:

Versatility - Overdrive to low frequency* fuzz settings = lots of song selections. I'm planning to actually play stuff like White Stripes and Led Zeppelin with this pedal.

Fuzz Factory (FF) - I own 1 of these. No matter what you do even if it does work though, it's really hard to get a low frequency sound from the Fuzz Factory without the combination of other pedals or certain amps. If only I can utilize it's high frequency* settings alone.

My amp - A Roland Cube 20x. Well, it's a modelling amp and it hates my Fuzz Factory. If I run it on JC Clean, the entire signal will die as if the amp choked on my FF i.e. most sound gets cut off. It still sounds like sh*t on the other presets. Got no money for new amp either...

*Low frequency = deep, saturated, bass-ish
*High frequency = bright, warm and if I wanted to, screechy as hell.

Long story short, I have no money for a new nice tube amp and a Lil Big Muff Pi would complement my FF and extend the range of songs I can play.

Your input is dearly appreciated. Gonna get this pedal in 2 days.


Then I'll have power supply issues too....sigh. But that'll be a dilemma for the far future when I own a pedalboard.

hi guys,

Whenever i went for jamming, I always have this problem.. when i play power chords, it sounds very loud, but when doing solo, i can barely hear anything.
What's up with that? Do i need a pedal for that? even changing the low/mid/treble in the amp does not work, the solo still sounds very low.

I use LP Special 2 GT, Boss MT2 and all kinds of Amp (depending on what studio I'm at)

I'm a noob so probably there's some simple settings i didn't know so i'm hoping any Otai can help here~

Did you try switching the 3 way toggle on your guitar to see whether it sounds any different?

3 way toggle didnt work either.

its either i need a pedal to balance out the bass-treble sound (equalizer?) or maybe just a little tweak on the MT2. so far i had no luck in tweaking the MT2. the solo sound usually got 'lost' behind the second guitar and bass. Maybe.. there's a problem with the way we set all guitars. I guess if this is a problem anyone faced, it should have an obvious solution but if its just me, probably i did something wrong with the settings. maybe I need a basic tutorial on setting a sound.

I know some people use a boost pedal for solos. get a clean boost pedal? or roll up ur volume.

Can I know your MT2 EQ setting? If you're opting for scooped mid setting, your solo will not cut through.

this is my setting usually:

High Level at 1 o'clock
Low Level at 10
Mid Level at 11
Mid Frequency at 9
Level and distortion i usually put them around 12 o clock.

Any suggestion on what's the best settings? Solo settings for sounds like Butterfingers and Muse.
(Ditch this pedal is also considered as a suggestion )

Throw it away, it's a terrible pedal, but a great paperweight.

If your not gonna use it for metal, then don't get a pedal with metal in it's name. If you still wanna keep it, then I suggest send it for Keeley mod, I heard it has Mesa sound.

lols tell me about it. friend bought it and wanted to sell it after a few months

anyone knows if a BOSS FS6 can be used with Digitech GSP1101 for patch change?
(up/down)

Added on May 10, 2011, 2:52 pmif u use tube, u MUST match with a tube amp 10 times the power. for example Tonelab ST should be matched with minum 500W tube amp to actually hear the tube

keeley moded MT-2 is the real metal zone, the rest is junk

Dude. 500W amp to hear the tube? I don't understand you mate

So, what you're saying is, if I plug a Tonelab ST into a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (no point actually , but still), I can't hear the tubes of the ST? I think you got your facts mixed up. 100W Tube amps can kill you already.

haha something like that la. either 50 or 150 or something. but a tube should match with a tube amp to properly hear a tube

Bedroom players can't have 50w of tube power in their rooms lah and honestly right, if you WERE going to get a tube amp like that, you probably wouldn't need the ST anymore.

i think tube screamer is good for soloing. not this mt-2. sounds plastic for me.just my 2-cent

I've owned the MT-2 before for 8 years and hated it every time I used is, by it's own it's very flat and anti-dynamic.
A hard plucked bending solo note feels the same as downstroking one power chord...can't get the dynamics.
Bottom line for me, good for heavy rhythm/riffing pedal on it's own with the right setup or combine with other pedals...then again, the pedal it's loud but not alive.

No offense intended to the denizens of the MT-2 worshipers and fanboys
