Scalarizer Thread

[turiguiliano]

hey dude! texted you  kanina. hows the guyatone going? any chance i can get it friday morning?

[kanshooter]

Hey guys my PGM got SCALARIZED! (crystallized)

[xelalien]

had my guitar scalarized again,
bale switching metal/crystal.
parang panibagong set of pickups!
much more satisfied than ever! ^^

[sigjoys]

crystal: sparkle and clarity
metal: still clear and sparkly, but with a mid hump.

agree with master sushi here. can i add some also?

i was the last person to be scalarized yesterday . in hearing the two scalarizers. i tested my SZ on both. and these were my observation as my ear dictates on a clean tone (and may i add these adjectives on the scalarizer dictionary)

crystal - glassy tone
metal - woody tone

my verdict - metal on my SZ not because im a into heavy stuff but i prefer more wood tone on my guitar. plugging it into my own amp and playing it all over clean, we'll i can say, labas na labas yung tunog kahoy. to my ears, my ibby SZ somewhat dials to LP territory. on the dirty sound, wow! sweet wood tone plus enhanced sustain, balanced sound, and of course pleasing to my ears.

plus a bonus... there is a subtle chorus if you would listen to the sound more closely. in short very pleasing when you hear it.

i must say - this very fugly device in appearance will make your guitar sound good looking. looks can be deceptive but the tone leap is limitless.

thanks BAMF for your great contribution! isunod ko yung strat ko mamaya if time permits. nasira ko ata yung mga
projection mo on thick bodied guitars (HAHAHAHA!!!!) at pinuyat mo kami ng gitara ko. nagbonding kami (HAHAHA!!!)

OT - kayo po ata master sushi yung nakita ko kagabi sa may overpass (and your wearing a blue shirt?)

[xelalien]

grabe, kanina lang I tested my guitar w/ my modded Arion Disto,
and tried some funky riffs (and Laruku riffs as well)...

sa metalcore mode, nandun yung twang ng Tele,
pero nung crystal mode... freak, nakukuha ko yung twang ng Strat -- yung parang may quack! O_________O

evident lalo nung sina-slide ko yung strings... chaka palm muted. grabe, parang 2 set of pickups talaga!

[addbot]

ang sarap sa tainga ng metal core... nabuhay ang tunong ng middle pickup ko ramdam ko yung pagiging single coil nya and sa hum pickup di mushy.

[vegetablejoe]

Bamf and pschic sushi, got curious, what does the crystalmet look like? same tootsie roll in one?

Unless there's a third integrated version which I haven't seen, this involves wiring the two types together in parallel. Haven't tried it myself, but hope to do so this weekend.

[Taoistguitarist]

ganda ng crystal! just got mine scalarized.

[bindoy]

Yo bindoy ! Sama naman ng bossing mo hindi ka pinapasok hehehe.

Yes it works on Raon guitars. The [gooey brown stuff] your guitar nga, the more dramatic the change.

Parang Magic Kamison hehehe.

salamat sa reply sir BAMF,

hehehe...sir jepoy nagsasabi, kapag nagpa Vocal lay in nalang daw ako muna tsaka ako pumasok(jok lang!pero sir, totoo balak namin sa susunod na project senyo VOcal layin basta wag lang daw si sir jepoy ang hahwak...hehehe)

sir last Q po...sa Acoustic GUitar/folk o classical pwede din ba?o should be running on current?

salamat po sir..ngatz.gbu

oo nga.. pano pag switching? bubutasan gitara para sa toggle switch? o dun parin sa tone selector? 

patulong naman.. baka kasi papalagyan ko rin ng metal yung gitara kong may crystal na eh.. 

[vegetablejoe]

oo nga, xelalien... pas share kung papaano... di ko mapagana yung switch ko eh. 

[xelalien]

yup, new switch for that.
bale yung slide switch [tama ba] na previously used sa LED switch ang ginamit, kasi 6 ang pins niya.
I think pwede kahit anong toggle basta 6 ang pins~
(correct me if I'm wrong)

If you're talking about the sto. domingo overpass (damn, i don't remember what color shirt i was wearing last night!)  7:30ish, then that's me!  reluctantly going to work, as the whole gang hanging out at my house made me green with envy. 

[marzi]

bamf - para sa iyo ata ito.

Jobet,

If things go according to my plans, I'll drop by tomorrow. Kung hapon ka nandun, I'll probably be there by 3-4PM.

Thanks.

that's it! two tootsie rolls, a double whammy of some sort. gives you the best of both world's  

but its up to one's discerning ears to like it, as it's 3D sounding, lovely on my tele.

[psychic_sushi]

hey dude! texted you  kanina. hows the guyatone going? any chance i can get it friday morning?

hey turi! i was at a meeting? i texted you, will try to catch you and update you about it

[psychic_sushi]

believe me bro, the scalarizer is the destined to be the biggest freaking thing...

paradigms are shifting...

[stratboy]

gusto ko magpalagay pero nahihiya ako kasi hindi ako mashado magaling, nakakahiya pag nagpalagay pa ako eh bano naman ako

[mahavishnu]

it looks like white sugary substance you commonly see in packets of lighter laminated plastic. 

[psychic_sushi]

pag nagpakabit ka, gagaling ka! sumampalataya ka!!! 

just kidding, heheheheh

it really doesn't matter whether you are a joe strummer or a jazz hyperluminary. if you want your guitar to sound better, this is the way to go.

good tone inspires you. inspires you to listen with clearer ears, inspires you to play better and want to be better.

and more importantly, to make good music. it's all about music buddy

i can see it happening already. hard to believe no one has ever thought of this before.

i think most guitarists fear putting "additives" in their guitars. hence, the preference for passive pick ups over actives by the majority. same with the aversion of putting a battery powered circuit inside! que horror!

but, the scalarizer being soooo unintrusive and so affordable, its accessible to everybody. except to the closed minded snoots.  hard for those folks to accept.

i like to think about it as the next evolutionary step. evolve or die, as the saying goes.

most firebrands do get bashed on the onset, like the thought of the solidbody guitar in the 50's. but things are accelerating...
