And, as i came home from school today, i found a parcel on the desk. "It's here!"
I opened the parcel, put it out and let it lay beside me while i ate. Not because i think it's better than my dog, just because i was hungry as hell and left it where i was.
Then - up into Batcave! Let's try it out!
Robin (my guitar) & me were quite nervous. A fuzz factory. Whoa!
Have you seen that video of Matt Bellamy using it? That's what i want it to do. And i want it to sound better than my black Sovtek BigMuff Pi.
So i plugged everything in, expecting it would sound good in the setting the former user left for me.
It sounded like...nothing i've ever heard before. Not bad, but completely unusable. It oscillated like crazy, leaving me thinking about my poor parents and the dogs downstairs. It was not funny.
But maybe half an hour later, it began to work. I've learned how to use the gate knob, the sustain was very short and every note ended like i suddenly turned off my amp.
At least, "Can't stop" was playable with it. Funky!
In the evening, i played around with it a bit more and found out that i don't need another effect pedal for crazy noises. It's all in there. I sounded huge, like heavy metal A place to bury strangers. There was white noise all over. It wasn't as transparent sounding as my former attempts on My Bloody Valentine-ish song writing, but somehow close.
I laughed quite a lot that evening. It was great. It was huge, brutal, atmospheric and crazy.
But i'm still not sure how i should use it in 'softer' songs. I wanted one fuzz for all.
I know a place where i can get some example-settings. I'll try a few tomorrow.
