I don't know anything about guitar pedals or music for that matter. But I really like your videos. I watch them when I eat breakfast. Looking forward for more dog cameos. Your videos are really good and I hope your channel keeps growing.
This made my night, ty so much for the kind words! I can surely promise more dog cameos in the future, they’ve been getting more involved with the filming lately
So basically your saying ibanez did the djent thing in pedal in theory all the way back then. I mean I guess people probably were boosting amps with tubescreamers but not like now where noone uses a high gain amp without an 808 first.
I wouldn’t call it djent, it’s more like a sludgy fuzz pedal that’s expecting a detuned guitar on the way in. Think about how korn used the 7 string in their early stuff (as opposed to what Meshuggah was doing then, which is a bit more pre-djent) All in all a really cool pedal, I’m glad to have it 😁
@@TheQShow Oh yeah Im not saying they were trying that or achieved it but I mean designing a pedal to have a mid heavy low cut ts style front end to increase the transient and lower the mush. A lot of the nu metal tones from what I can tell were straight into rectifiers without boosts which gave them that fizzy on top massive bottom end thing. Then people in prog metal didnt want that and started using tubesceamer style circuit to tighter up amps even tighter amps like 5150s and we ended up with djent. I think I want both pedals now though, they seem to sound a lot better than I thought they would. At least in your video the sm7 does seem a lot closer to the boosted recto/5150 sound and the sh7 to the raw recto sound. I think I want both pedals now though, they seem to sound a lot better than I thought they would.
I'm thinking about buying the SH7 pedal now. It could be really cool for bass, synths or sound design. Do you think I'll need some kind of pre-amp or such for synths?
Firstly thanks for watching! I agree that the SH7 would be a solid choice for anything in a lower register. However, to me, fuzz pedals in general are expecting something after the fact for sure. Otherwise they can sound quite harsh. My amp settings in my videos are very clean but they are all ultimately going through a preamp and poweramp with cabinet sim, the cabinet sim being the most significant factor in this case when comparing to DI. This processing could be done in the box as well. But I’d probably run a synth into a preamp if I had the ability to. I love inductive EQ’s for this sort of sound design personally.
Interesting, one of the best uses I’ve seen of 2 boost pedals in sync.
Thanks for your technical analysis. And. Great vid all around
Such a great review, thank you!
