There ya go Chout.

Excuse the sloppy playing. I played with a few chorus settings at the end, but the depth control is really sensitive, so there are a ton of different chorus sounds to be had.

Posted earlier about it, but accidentally deleted the post.

Sounds like the CT has a slight high pitch squeal that the Poly Chorus also has, I noticed a similar sound on the slow vibe setting on your recording. Very cool sounds though.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.17.2007 12:25 AM

Yeah, it isn't the quietest thing, but it isn't all that irritating.

Those slow deep vibrato settings and chorus settings can get really sickening.

The order that was put in for my polyphase was never processed. . . so it was just reprocessed, and I should have it 1-2 weeks. :)

Then my pedalboard will be done (until I get another pedal and have to move everything onto the bigger board)

CHOUT 01.17.2007 12:55 AM

Right on man.

I didn't even think to slap on my headphones, was that recording in stereo? Damn I bet that sounds nice and sick like the Pulsar in stereo.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.17.2007 01:04 AM

It was mono.

I hooked it up in stereo, but I couldn't really tell if it was doing anything other than just sending the same signal to both amps.

what next from these 3?

flanger, phaser or trem???

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.17.2007 11:59 AM

I'd say phase or trem. I'm not a big flange guy myself though. Trem is probably the most frequently usable effect of the 3.

king_buzzo 01.17.2007 12:57 PM

okay, phaser it is then

I got my Fender Tele Deluxe today.* It's got a tad buzz in the top E on the 12th fret. Ahh, I can never get away from the fret buzz. Fantastic guitar though - worth all the hassle to get it.

It probably just needs a good set-up from a pro. A truss rod adjustment or a bridge adjustment might fix that right up.

CHOUT 01.18.2007 10:32 PM

New stuff coming out soon:

Behringer is shamelessly copying old classics for cheap prices...can't wait to try them...

ive seen these, im pretty interested in that berhinger memory man, but i bought a behringer ultra tremolo pedal (mainly got it because it only cost 13 pounds, yes) last year didnt really like it, so im a little unsure about them now.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 01.19.2007 01:21 AM

The Vintage Time Warp Delay and also the Vintage Delay pedal looks cool. We'll have to see how cool the time warp sounds. I have a feeling the vintage delay is either based on the old Boss DM-3 or it is based on the Arion SAD-1.

As does the Slow Motion. If the bypass is decent on the Slow Motion I think I'm gonna get one.

CHOUT 01.19.2007 01:52 AM

Yeah, I am really excited about these. I'd like to try them first, but nowhere around here carries any of their pedals consistently.

Can anyone reccomend me an affordable tremolo pedal that does not suck the tone or volume form my guitar signal? I desperately want a tremolo, but there are soooo many to choose from. I know that many tremolo peds suffer that unfortunate tone drop, nad I want to avoid that as much as possible. I've had my eye on the EH Stereo Pulsar for some time now. It has the reliability of being an EH pedal and is sweetening the deal even more by being smaller saaving me more space on my pedal board. But the downside is I hear it sucks some tone from my signal. Not cool.

Any suggestions from you pedal afficionados out there in Sonic Youth Land?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I must be an idiot because I never really ever hear 'tone suck' when I'm using pedals...I guess I don't really rely on my clean signal usually - I'm concerned about how my stuff sounds with my distortion that I usually use.

The Catalinbread Semaphore (see pic somewhere in this thread) is highly regarded for the fact that it has a volume knob, so no worry about volume loss. But alas, it is about $200. :(

I have the Stereo Pulsar, and it really to me doesn't have a volume drop in the most strict sense - it actually passes the signal evenly when the trem is set minimal, but it does seem to have a 'ceiling' when set very intense. It is kind of annoying if you wanna rock hard and get a choppy trem sound, but I have been setting it at a medium setting and it seems ok.

As far as affordable, you will just have to pick between a standard garden variety one, unless you find something used for cheap.

It looks like electro-harmonix isn't coming out with anything new this NAMM. Dan Miller is just showing off the stereo pulsar, polyphase, and clone theory.

http://www.gearwire.com/dan-miller-interview.html

in the end I think that might be better for me though. . . less stuff from the new one I want.
