BSM OR Treble & Bass Booster clips (and some others, too

[randy_mc]

Hi guys,

I was over at Tower Mastering yesterday, and did some quick clips. The first 2 demo the BSM OR Treble & Bass Booster, which some people had asked about. The next 4 demo some different od/fuzz boxes playing the same phrase. Just trying to see which tones sound coolest.

Check 'em out:

Listen to the 4 od/fuzz tones. Tell me which you like best, and I'll be back to tell which was which later on.

Hey man - I like the first one best.

The #4 one has a lot of character too... I would say it is a tie for 1 and 4.

1 & 4...1 by a nose

Howdy!

Here's the "which is which" part:

1-BSM OR with the tone set at noon

2-Fulltone '69
volume @ 3 o'clock
bias @ 1 o'clock
contour @ full up
fuzz @ 3 o'clock

3-Fulltone Soul-Bender
volume @ 9 o'clock
tone @ full
fuzz @ full

4-Lovepedal Eternity
volume @ 10-11 o'clock
treble @ noon
clip @ 1 o'clock
This one uses the "fat chip" IC.

I've been wanting to get 2 unique tones. One is bright and silky, and the other is heavier, more gainy and warmer. To me 1 annd 4 do great (BSM and Lovepedal). The other 2 are really good as well, but I think they do better for single note leads rather than slide. Slide needs a little bite on the high end, with some singing sustain. The Homebrew CPR helps considerably with the sustain being very transparent, and carrying that sustain way on out there without any noise involved. That's what 1 and 4 have to offer. But, that's just my preference, my ears, etc.

Thanks for checking those out! I appreciate your opinions.

Randy
