Incoming NPD and NPSD. Fulltone/Voodoo

[Hiwatts and Gibsons]

Can't wait. Tbt I really really wanted the Flux Liquid Trem, and was also highly considering the Mr. Black Pana-Trem, but the deal on the Fulltone was too good to pass up, and I like the abilities to both run at 18v for extra headroom to deal with the very hot output of the TTE when cranked up along with the ability to adjust the volume manually. Where the Flux Liquid Trem may be more flexible with the Midi-Control for all parameters the Supa-Trem 2 has all the same type of Trem effects available. It will be running directly after the Stereo Outs on my Fulltone Tube Tape Echo most of the time, or after a Pigtronix Echolution 2D.

I grabbed the X4 18v to power both the Supa-Trem at 18v, and to power the Echolution 2D.

sounds like a pretty sweet rig. running in stereo sounds great, but i almost never do it. too much crap to drag to a gig all the time.

Heard that. Hopefully next year that will be one of my problems. Gotta find some people around here to jam with first. There's not a lot of doom metal heavy psychedelic rock guys around my area.

The last time I put out.an add I had one.bassit show up. He was pretty good though, and we got on well. The other guitarist I was with could pick up on the straight 4/4 stuff I played, but as soon as I introduced any sort of polyrhythmic riffs or time changes he was lost, but the bassist locked in pretty quick. The bassist was interested, but when we couldn't find a drummer it petered out pretty quick.

finding the right guys can be challenging for sure, especially in smaller towns

You can put a call out on social media...most towns have groups that members of that area belong to. There might be a few musicians sitting home on the weekends complaining about how hard it is to find people to play with. You are not alone, I am sure.

 

[jeremy]

im sure there are others out there wanting to play. are they into the same music and are they around the same ability are two important things as well. also not jerks is nice

I do have thr number of a pretty solid drummer I met who really dug the vids.I showed him of songs I was working on. I'm hoping after I get back on my feet financially this year to rent out a warehouse that I can move into to use as a music/photo studio and living space.

I've got an awesome recording rack with API, DBX, amd Joe Meek gear and a Focusrite Claret 8x interface along with a good set of Yamaha monitors and a sub.

I just need someplace to set it all up, and be able.to play whenever I can.

 

[Mincer]

Lots of people will rent office space, especially if you plan to be there when other offices are off. I bet if you build it, it will attract other musicians.

Commercial space is wildly available and cheap these days. Many companies never brought their staffs back after Covid. Light manufacturing has also vacated a lot of space. If you check out some industrial parks you should find something dirt cheap.

. . . that I can move into to use as a music/photo studio and living space.

Be sure to check local zoning laws. It is often illegal to "live" in a commercial space. Especially a warehouse.

I know. I've checked it out. I have to fnd one in a residential zoned area.

Meanwhile - I think you find the Fulltone more than satisfying. The original is a classic for a reason.

 

[jeremy]

im gonna have to find one and check out the warble setting with a bit of phase cancellation through two amps

I've owned a v1 Soul Bender, and currently own a Tube Tape Echo. Both units are incredible sounding examples of their type, and I fully expect to be nothing but in love with the Supa-Trem 2 based on my previous experiences with Fulltone gear and all the video demos I've watched.

That will be my first experience. It's going to be run after the stereo outs on my Tube Tape Echo into a Hiwatt DR103 on one side, and an Ampeg VT22 with a splash of reverb on the other.

Stoked doesn't even describe it.

Remember -

Sound that doesn't get to an echo, creates no sound. Tremolo > Echo
Sound that repeats, repeats even if the tremolo turns off. Echo > Tremolo

Tremolo after Echo generates wash and more subtle tremolo.

I know I've done this in the past. Before my Magnatone Panoramic head was stolen I would run the stereo outs on my Tape Echo to the stereo inputs on the amp which would then go through the stereo trem or vibrato, and after that the amps reverb. It is such a gorgeous sound.

Eventually I'll get another Panoraic head, but for now this should do quite nicely

Just to add to above as good as it sounded with the Magnatone sent to two separate cabs (usually two Coffee Can SRO loaded 1x15" cabs) there were times I would run that, and then take the stereo line outs on the Magnatone and plug them into the Normal inputs on my Hiwatt and Reeves Custom 100 heads with each feeding a 4x12. It was like sitting in a deep cavern of beautiful swirling sound.

Supa-Trem 2 arrived yesterday. Wow. Sounds fantastic. Dialing in unity gain with it engaged is tricky, but aside from that small squibble it sounds amazing. It has a lot of output even with the volume on minimum. The key is playing with the mix knob. Even then it still sounds a little hotter hitting the amp when on. It's meant to be played into an amp that's up to cooking temp for sure.

Signal chain was my P90 and Staple pickup loaded LP Special > Keeley Java > KMA Wurm 2 > Fulltone TTE > Fulltone Supa-Trem > right side Ampeg VT22 and 4x12, and left side Hiwatt DR103 and 4x12. Music played was Electric Wizard like doom metal.
