Trying the TNT LeTekro Boss BF2 Mids trick Video clip

[Chubtone]

I have an MXR .... hhhmm ?

Not going to work, at all. Give me a call Jerry and I'll loan you my BF-2 to check out. It would sound cool with that new amp of yours.

Question for Kurt and Ralphie and anyone else who wants to jump in....

I think I have a pretty close rendition of this using my AxeFx (some guys have been asking if I could do this tone with the Snax for them).
I'm putting a filter in front of the gain stages of the preset.
Whatcha think the BF2 is notched at? I'm figuring kinda like where I used to set my PQ3...somewhere between 500-800hz..what's your guess or opinion??


Mark

It has to be in that range. I heard an interview recently with the guys in Icon who had the most monstrous 80's style guitar tone on their 1st album. Those guys used Audio Arts Parametric EQ's with their Music Man RD100 heads and their tone was the best I ever heard for that two guitar 80's thing. In this interview, they said the key to their tone is one guy boosted his mids at 400 and the other guy boosted at 800 to give them that sound.

My guess is that the BF-2 is right around 800. It is so boosted it's obnoxious if you don't eq for it. Just last night because of Mark's resurrection of this tone I plugged just my Boss OD-1 into my JCM800 2204 and that thing is way midrangy too. It sounds very Le tekro just with the OD-1 and the Marshall.

ok ... how come MXR just uses different method of flanging?

new amp is insane. clean and rockin clean/crunch
crunch with gain boost on the pushpull
insane lead. neck p u on the strat sounds really really nice. Rolls off nice too. Like SRV on crack.

At one point my rack was up to 3 spaces - Furman - Rocktron Hush - Lexicon PCM-41

HA! Mine too... Furman graphic EQ - Rocktron Hush - Roland SDE-3000...

I too was using a PQ-3 starting in about 1984. I had two Marshall heads but did not run into the low level inputs of the heads. I went into the low level inputs on the Furman, the absolute key! I remember seeing guys in bands with the Furman and they weren't running them right. You could tell by the sound and when you saw their Furman's, the little input light was not peaking. That input light needed to be blinking like it was trying to warn you of impending doom. So I went Furman into a Scholz Stero Chorus Delay into two Marhalls heads in stereo. Then, when I could afford it I replaced the Scholz chorus with the Lexicon PCM41 and that tone just ruled.

Exactly! I ran my guitar into the Furman then into a Micro Amp then a Boss Noise Gate then into an Ibanez Ad202 Analog delay set for Doubling and modulated it into big fat chorus then into another AD202 for delay. I also had a dual 15 band graphic EQ. I had a little switching system setup that I built so that I could run a clean signal into one side of the EQ and the dirty signal into the other side then out to the AD202's and choose whether clean or dirty hit the front of the amp. It was a pretty cool clean sound because the LOW In on the 2204 Marshall skipped a gain stage in the preamp section. I used to guitarist charge the stage after a show trying to figure out what the hell I was running It was such a cool rig and I used it for years before I bought an RSB18 system. Then I used an Eventide H3000 for the chorus/doubling....a very expensive chorus...lol

this all sounds too famaliar to me. The PQ-3 through late 70's JMP was my choice at that time too as well as the Alesis Quadroverb in the loop. But one day the guitarist from Private Life which was a band Eddie Van Halen sorta endorsed at that time, came up to me said try this..BOSS- SD-1 and turn off that rack stuff..whalla, that was the end of rack days for me. : ) the natural tone of the amp was much more in your face and organic/raw. never went back

I much prefer my Od100 with a Koko Boost in front than the PQ3 thing as well, but I gotta admit this BF2 thing is a pile of fun

I like my GCX and pedals with a GMajII in the loop with a Suhr Minimix...it keeps the dry tone intact

Mark

I like the BF2 thing too, and believe it or not, If you listen to Blackmore's tones on the Perfect Strangers album, "knocking at your back door" for instance, you can get pretty darn to that sound with those exact setting on the BF-2. mine's not going away!

I started on the SD-1 and then did the Furman thing. I remember that the Furman just was way more saturated and gainy than the SD-1. When both guitarists in my band ran that rig it was freaking huge. It was a WALL of sound. But it certainly wasn't that pure of a guitar tone like the SD-1 was/is. A Marshall with an SD-1 one sounds like a guitar. At one point my rack was up to 3 spaces - Furman - Rocktron Hush - Lexicon PCM-41 into two amps. Then everyone just kept getting more and more crazy with their rigs and the racks grew huge. I remember the day I broke down and bought an ADA MP1 and disconnected my old stuff and got that ADA rig working and I was just stunned at the lack of immediacy coming out of my cabinet. Do you know what I mean? I NEVER heard a rack rig that didn't sound like the speakers were in the back part of the cabinet and the cabinet was four feet deep. It's the kind of thing most people would never even notice until they muted their strings with their left hand and wacked the strings with their pick through that rig and then did the same with an overdrive pedal into a Marshall. It's tough to describe, but the Marshall was right there and the sound was a part of you. With the rack rigs, the sound was "over there" and though there was virtually no latency between the note being played and you hearing it. It just didn't feel right. Maybe I was nuts? Either way, the ADA went back to the store two days later.

Well exactly!, I knew very few rock guitarists from our generation that didnt start on basic pedals ( OD-1,MXR Distortion, DOD, TS-9, DS-1,SD-1) then all of a sudden enter the dragon..PQ-3 ( which if anybody here wants to buy, i have the original for sale and then it was "lets rack em up!". It's all good though, Im just pissed that i had re-buy all those old pedals at twice the cost afterwards! I do like the old Lexicon and Roland rack delays though.

Mark!
I'm doing that very thing on one of my patches in the Axe-fx. I have a filter set on 800hz but Im not sure if that is the LeTekro Midrange or not. (But Id be willing to bet it's in the ballpark rock:

I guess the best way to check is to compare your amp with BF-2 engaged with the Axe-rig. Play around with the Filter in the axe-fx until you hear the Freequency. Id keep on comparing until you find the one matches the best! I thought about doing this but you know me and lazyness lol

 

[Mark Day]

Use Match EQ in Logic going straight in with just the BF-2 if you got it yet

That's an excellent idea sweetie!!!

Sounds like you got it.....man thats alot of gain!

[Isaac]

Has anybody tried this trick with the new Boss BF-2 Flangers? Is it the same, or do you need the MIJ version?

That last post is a fucking disgrace.

Can someone post a clip of the BF-2 trick through a modded plexi style amp with a load box and variac, set W/D/W using an Axe FX and a cranked Peacemaker with a 6x12 cab loaded with a Weber, Scumback, V30, H30, P50, and one speaker hole left empty playing Unchained and 10,000 Lovers simultaneously?

I think that's the tone I hear in my technique fingers, maybe.

All kidding aside, nice job Mark!

[Gainzilla]

These friggin LeTekro Threads have me chompin at the bit to do some TNT riffage. On a good day, I can do fairly passable versions of most of Ronni's licks. The funny thing is that I never learned one damn song by those guys and Ive loved them since day one...

Ralphie, we need to get together and record some LeTekro silllinesss!!! I get a kcik of how hard you laugh when I go into RLT mode!!!
