Man I love these videos so much! It really is hard to find a good fuzz/distortion for vocals, and that reverb unit sounded great overdriven. My favorite effect for that is the original SansAmp pedal (or the reissue of it which sounds the same), especially if you blend some of the dry signal back in for more intelligibility like you did here
Awesome and thank you. Yes I've got loads more videos both that are already recorded being slowly released out of the members area and tons of ideas for new ones as well
Great Info Dave,I've Messed around With Double Tracking A Vocal And Adding A Distorion Via a Pedal And The Results Were Less than Satisfactory, Lots Of Feedback And Made For a Very Sensitive Mic..Love These Types Of Videos Dave.. Very Cool😊
Ever tried a tape delay like the SRE555? Tape saturation... I used to do a similar thing as your PCM60 trick back in the day. The PCM60 is also my all time fav reverb. When we first got it in our hire stock in 86 or so, like wow!!
Hello Dave I just found out Andy Wallace uses this trick to give grit to guitars although he uses PCM42 Do you per chance know if the PCM60 effect is similar to PCM42s PCM0 goes for $600 and PCM42 up to $2000 nowadays. Thank you
I had a copper mic. I gifted it to Josh from Queens of the Stoneage when he was looking a radio voice. Cool mic but a different sound and live it has feedback challenges before I could get to distortion levels I was looking for
Would love it if when you go over the DBX unit, if can share any thoughts on similar units if you have experience with them like the Furman P-10, Peavey Kormos, Apex 204 big bottom
@@DaveRat oh no worries then. Just figured maybe there was a reason you went with the DBX. I rarely hear anyone talk about it vs the others I mentioned.
@@Espresso101 the DBX 120x has a pure clear sub synth with 4 seperate distinct frequency controls making it very effective for dialing in a specific sub synth sound. Not aware of another unit that offers that control and hits those very low frequencies. Beer dbx units did not maintain this control, nor did other units I briefly used over the years
SoundGuy - I have a Furman Punch-10 and a DBX-120XP, you have to live with them for a while to really understand their different character. I prefer the greater control the DBX has but I never got rid of the Furman as it’s a great unit. I also use an SPL Classic Vitalizer 9215 which is balanced and also great for sub enhancement with a different approach. Really looking forward to Dave’s DBX hack.
This is a great video, you just saved me a rack space. Dave do you have a preference on what firmware of the pcm 60 you use? Do you use the inverse room setting for any thing in particular?
I am pretty sure I have a few people that follow purely to thumbs down. There were a few point source humans that can't get their head around the fact that line arrays are also a useful tool. I kind of like it though as it makes me smile to see people that are kind of an asshole getting themselves riled up in such a meaningless way
@@DaveRat In terms of youtube's rating and algorithms as far as where they present your videos in searches (Top of the list, bottom, never to be seen ever, etc) a "thumbs down" is almost as good as a "thumbs up", because some part of youtubes (And a lot of similar user-submitted content sites) algorithms consider ANY "review" to be a sign that the video was important or meaningful enough to elicit a response. (No such thing as bad publicity! For real!) They count the fact that someone bothered to give it a thumbs down as a metric that its "Meaningful". "Thumbs Up" are definitely better, but "Thumbs down" still means that someone cares!
@@topekadiyver2 good stuff and interesting. For me, I am honored to have such a positive overall response. Based on public exposed internet in general, I feel quite fortunate.
Sansamp bass pedal has worked for me from time to time.. thanks again Dave for a great channel! Really hope it blows up for ya
Thank you Lerryn!
I like the soundtrack in the outro - there's something fitting about testing my system while looking at SoundTools.
Ha! Yes, that was kind of the intent and fun too!
Just how low was that sweep going? I'm listening with the same cans Dave has, and the sweep seemed to bottom out around 5:55.
@@tomgordonuk1 it goes all the way down to 20hz but not sure what TH-cam is doing to it, will test and see
Hehe, I was about to reply to say "on the scope it looks like it goes down to about 20Hz"... Volume looks pretty flat the whole way down.

Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember using an re301 for overload years ago

Not sure but probably as they were made around the same time frame
Dave, thank you for continuing to make these! I call it Rat Sound University. Take care! :)
Thank you Patrick!
Enjoy the vids....👍thanx..
Thank you Steven
Cool sub outro!!!
Thank you!!
Matched germanium transistor fuzz effects for vocals? 🤔
👍
Have you ever tried any of the Placid Audio mics to achieve that type of quality at the source?
I had a copper mic. I gifted it to Josh from Queens of the Stoneage when he was looking a radio voice. Cool mic but a different sound and live it has feedback challenges before I could get to distortion levels I was looking for
Thanks again! is the Roland SDE2000 too old to get a run-down? Its one of my favorites.
I will do some other older gear over time. Mainly focussing on gear I toured with or have at rat. Will take a look
It doesn’t clip the converter? It’s a full analog path with the mix at 0%?
I believe so. I also believe, the analog clips before the converters, so it tough to get the dig side to overload in mix or effect
Hi Dave What’s your thoughts on the pcm 70
Some great sounds, a bit hard to get around, does not have the speed and ease that makes the pcm60 or H3500 so timeless
Would love it if when you go over the DBX unit, if can share any thoughts on similar units if you have experience with them like the Furman P-10, Peavey Kormos, Apex 204 big bottom
Oooh, not much experience with them other than the 120X with 2 freq knobs and 1/4"

@@regortex3364 yes, and as with all in sound, it's what works and gets you the sound you desire, there is no right or wrong

This 60 has the original V1,Rat has 4 or so 60s and 1 has updated firmware, I like them all!
WOW WHAT A SINGING VOICE I think your calling might be on stage! Ladies and Gentlemen Dave & the rats!
Haha!
Plugged into my car. Never heard the lows at the end of the videos before today 👀
I think this is the first video to have the lows
Yes. its a new trailer. What cha think?
Ha! yes Paulo it is. Like? dont like? no opinion?
Dave Rat love it 😊
@@danielfmyers awesome! Love the sub!
to quote homer simpson, those were "sexy results"

Who is the loser who chose "thumbs down.?" (Hopefully it was just a mistake.....)
