Clip - MXR Carbon Copy delay in front of the amp

[Meathead]

Prepare for some noise...just mindless wanks.

Pedals in order: MXR EVH Phase 90 - OCD Ver 4 - MXR Carbon Copy delay.

Sounds good! I need to try putting the CC in front of the Legacy I just picked up. I tried it with some other higher gain amps, didn't like it. Too distorted, and 'dirtied/muddied up' the tone too much. Even with the mix down low on the CC, it was just 'too much.'

Yea its a bitch wit a loud/high gain amp .
I cant get mine dialed out enoug either ,doesnt sound bad ,just gets more pronounced when you dig in hard.
Lighten up picking attack backs it off abit but not enough

 

[gbsmusic]

Sounds pretty good. Great playing!

 

[Vrad]

Awwww... for me!?

Thanks man.. It sounds terrific. It's not messy with the distorted amp and the OCD in front at all.

Should work pretty good with the Legacy, that's not a high gain beast.

I wouldn't use delay in front of high gain...way to sloppy....need to back off the gain on the amp and use a pedal before the delay.

Thanks man. Happy Day After Turkey Day.

Vlad inspired...yes.

In the loop - delay is a clear repeat, sounds like it's beside your tone.
In front - delay is mangled by gain, the delay becomes part of your tone.

Yeah... So Lordriffenstein suggested one of those Ibanez Echomachines. I watched some Rackdoctor videos where he's using them (looks like in front of the amp) and it sounds great on the video. They're pretty cheap so I may give those a whirl.

Guitar Center 30 day free try out!

BTW, I had the delay set louder than usual on this clip so you could hear it better...I usually place it back in the mix more so it blends nicer.

They are nice sounding but they are built like a toy and they go for usually $100.00 or more. I have to say, the El Capistan really does sound great in front, I've been messing around with it for the last few days. I still like lead lines with delay post gain but for rhythms it sounds too cool.

Power rock clip... that's what I want... LOL!
Dammit.. why does it cost $299... Don't these bastards know I got a lot of gear to buy?

I want you to, but can't bring myself to spend that much on a delay.

I think having an analog delay on the board and a digital in the loop is the way to go...two flavors is better than one. I would just leave the analog one on subtly most of the time and kick on the loop delay for solos.

If you check out bootlegs from the late 70's early 80's with EVH and Rhoads that's how they did it....raunch!

that's the EVH Phase 90 set to script mode, I find the EVH mode is too much.

Kinda have no choice with the SL... LOL!
Well I can go wet/dry...

Ya, but you have other amps with loops. Don't mess with that '71 anymore.

Yeah that's what I mean... I don't want to mod the SL. It's fine the way it is. Just needs some delay sometimes.
So I can do...
1) Wet/dry which is overkill
2) Delay upfront which I don't mind, but it needs to be the right delay I guess.

Try the Carbon Copy with the mix set lower...here it's set to 10:00, I'd normally set it below 9:00, it's pretty good that way.

How you like the OCD by the way? It's on my list as well... LOL!
I feel like such a gear-whore all of a sudden.
