Suck Toan

[LLL]

I seem to be having a very difficult time finding any Suck Toan.

What am I doing wrong?

Start stacking more and more boost and drive pedals to the front of a great tube amp and watch the sound quality disappear in no time. Have you tried that?

That reminds me of my noob dayz. I stacked BOSS drives & distortions in front of a cranked 100W Marshall which already had LED clipping (2210 model).

But it had ALL dA G@inZZ!

I bet it did...lol. You had all the GaiNz but not the BrutUlZ

So is it possible that the way to achieve Suck Toan is to clip so much (clipping upon clipping upon clipping) that you wind up in the 4th dimension of G@iNz and the fundamentals of the notez totally disappear?

Is this that "angry beez" phenomenon?

Yes, that is fair to say. I call it the animal friendly or vegan toanz. No meat to it.

Then I will stack OD/Dist pedals like so, with each gainz knob cranked:

guitar
|
Friedman BE-OD Deluxe
|
MXR Custom Badass OD
|
MXR Custom Badass 78 Dist
|
BYOC Yellow OD
|
Catalinbread Naga Viper
|
MXR 6 Band EQ (rough EQ of G@iNzzz)
|
MXR 10 Band EQ (fine tuning EQ of G@iNzzz)
|
amp


That should be enough. I would include my Steel Panther Butthole Burner pedal, but that's a "pedal queen" and stays unmolested in the box.

I will do a clip of this toan sometime.

You should be fine with a small set up like that. Make sure you dime the presence and highs and keep the bass lower so it cuts.

Put a Boss Metal Zone in the effects loop. Better yet, plug it in to the Aux input of your home stereo. But it has to be the left input only.

I can't afford a BOSS Metal Zone... or an FX loop.

But yeah - Left input; got it.

This thread is FUCKING EPIC!

You need an EQ in there to sculpt the toan.

I purposely try to achieve tones that other people might think suck. If anything, just to stand out from the people who spend endless hours trying to perfectly copy someone else's tone that they think is good.

You need to look on your mixer for the Suck knob. Works every time.

Classic Far Side.

For my Suck Tone, I just turn my Talent Booster knobs down or take it out of my chain!

Take an old DOD 250 and solder some resistors across random points on the circuit board. 47 picofarads (about 0.12 mL or 1/16-inch) should be enough. The added resistance will hold some of the voltage/current back and act as an attenuator, so you can get that cranked tone at any volume. Since you are doing it randomly, it will sound more organic and vintage than if you followed some so-called plan or schematic. Its art, man, not a sourdough recipe!

I also recommend soldering a tube in the output of your digital delay pedal to get more of an analog feel. You can run the power supply through a series of summing op-amp circuits to step up the voltage and really make the tube cook! You might want to try pulling the chip on the delay pedal and soldering in a socket so that you can try different NOS Panasonic bucket brigade ICs. Make absolutely certain you get the ones made right before that one assembly line worker went on vacation in summer of 82; I hear he was never really focused on hand doping the semiconductor junctions just right after he came back from Coney Island.

Farads are a measure of capacitance.
Oh! You're taking the piss!
Sorry, my wife likes Britbox.
