Metal Muff: Brace o’ Problems

2012-02-06T22:43:58-05:00

Hello!

I’ve had my metal muff for quite some time…probably about 5 years.

For most of that time, the power-supply jack hasn’t worked. Not only will it not power the pedal, it will make the pedal turn OFF when I’m using a battery (I’m using a “One-Spot” 9v supply).

So that’s pretty weird and obnoxious, but it’s worked with a battery so whatever.

But now…the distortion is sounding really thin and weak—not the intense, aggressive sound that it should have, and the top boost isn’t working at all…in fact it reduces the overall volume.

Does anyone have any idea what these problems might be? and/or a recommendation about a pedal repair service (the one’s I’ve seen online are about $50…the pedal itself was about $70, so that seems ridiculous).

Thanks in advance for any help! Much appreciated!

Retro mic advice

2012-01-23T15:14:08-05:00

Hi all

I’m thinking of buying a retro style mic

Something like this:

http://www.studiospares.com/mics-vocalist/studiospares-s1940-retro-mic-red/invt/449140/?htxt=4k5VVZu1Hk5rAVDWKMzgZiXnGtVgF9Q5uq6ZUZxUe9mJbgBX4gE4fUy00sUSq78gtXx7ygiK3cKj

I don’t know much about mics to be honest. When playing live I currently use a (borrowed) Shure SM58 that has, to be quite frank, seen better days.

I know one of these wouldn’t sound quite as good as an SM58 - but I was wondering if it would make much difference? It sure looks cooler! Would feedback be an issue? Does anyone have much experience of this kind of thing?

I usually play pubs/clubs/functions etc.

Thanks

EHX ANALOGIZER???

2011-11-21T21:05:35-05:00

Hi, I was reading my daily tech bits and I came across a blurb about the EHX Analogizer. Is this a new pedal? I don’t know if it is old or a new product or if it connected with the “Magic” line. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is what I read.

Broken Freeze

2012-02-10T15:03:17-05:00

I’ve had my Freeze for about 9 months and I love it. Last month at rehearsal it decided to basically stop working. The output signal (both activated and in bypass) is so low that I can’t even hear my bass. If I remove the freeze from the effects chain, signal strength returns to normal. Any suggestions on what the problem may be? How I can get it fixed?

Here’s a link to an sample of a tune I recorded with the freeze http://soundcloud.com/a-timbre/pacifier-4-6.

Thanks

HOG 2

2010-11-07T22:23:25-05:00

Is there any insider information of the HOG 2’s development? With the recent release of the Freeze, it would seem probable for a new HOG to be on the horizon. I wonder if it would have new features or if it would just be a repackaged HOG in the new enclosure. Personally, either of those options sound great to me, especially if there is no need for the additional purchase of the Foot Controller for presets. Anybody?

Does the HOG cut out like the MICROSYNTH?

2012-02-08T11:33:09-05:00

I owned a Microsynth XO for a little while, but ended up selling it on Craigslist because it would cut out on longer sustains. I put a compressor pedal in front of it, which helped a lot, but hated having to use extra pedals to make it work correctly.

A few questions ...

+ Does the Hog have this same issue, or does it work well as a stand alone pedal?
+ Can you do the octave sweeps on the Hog like the Microsynth (high to low / low to high)?
+ Will the HOG eventually get the smaller XO footprint too, or is it destined to be a huge ass pedal forever?

I love what I have heard for the Hog, but the finicky-ness of the Microsynth has scared me with these type of pedals.

Micro Pog - octave up or down only?

2012-01-20T12:29:53-05:00

Can’t find the answer to this question: can you set the Micro Pog to 100% octave down or up with 0% dry signal?

Anybody tried singing thru it? Might get into Brian Johnson’s range…
