Update on the 3 in one drive thing...

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Had the internal levels refined, changed some of the filtering in the final stage.......reduced the noise, and made it more natural and fatter...like skipping water with a stone while being huge...haha made it bigger but still bouncy....got some more fun overtones out of it as well...
I like juicy and fat and a good bite as well....

The feel improved as well....feels good in the fingers..
Not based on any amp or anything....just wanted to make an overdrive that was somewhat different to play....and still keep a somewhat normal tone..eh...

Again it sounds way better on a real amp.....but it also works well with the ole Vox plugs!
Used my new Tele-gibbie.......just a about 4min clip with fooling around stuff...
All the usual crap I play when trying something out I guess....

And the unsuspecting box......one day I'm gonna show the inards of that thingie......a nest of illogical wiring!

I really liked the vibe. Seems cool and somewhat old school (in a really great way) to me.

Re: Update on the 3 in one drive thing...

Thanks guys...yep went for an oldschoolish sound on this one!
Used the AC-30 plug
Have tested it on a Hiwatt head, an old Selmer T&B head, AC-15 clone.
Marshall 18 watter clone, our own CS 50 head and combo.
The carlsbro 100 head....a Fender Bassman head, 4x12 cab, one 12" cab, a 4x10 Jensen equipped cab....
V-30's and the 4x12 with the mix of two Heritage G12H and two Classic Lead80 Celestions...
Got along all these amps just fine...
Works well with both singles and buckers too...so that is going well.

May not be for all, it is not the most muffled and rolled off polite being on this earth...it has plenty of bite and body...and with a pair of Hempconed tonetubbys it could be quite nasty, until I dailed it in...those speakers are abit strange to me, but I am determined to get them breaked in.....hopefully that slightly nasty zing will become more violin sweet later on

Took the pedal back to work today, will try a few small tweaks more....and prolly call it a day and just use it for sometime to see if it is holding up!

Re: Update on the 3 in one drive thing...

Yep Jongibergus indeed!
Well because the old tech wizard we had back in the days....was Karl Martin......
All the old effects, HI-FI, Bass gear, PA stuff was made by him!
