Well...just like a notebook, we can think that the first thread got filled and..well...dirty. So let's open a new notebook to continue the fun. For reference, we'll link the old thread here so it can be referred back to for testimonials and information and stuff.
So here's the old thread, so we can always refer to it anytime :
http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,35791.0.htmlAnd the who's who thread :
http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,37827.0.htmlAnd the post that started it all, dominantchord2005's very first public review of the scalarizer
http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,34930.0.htmlAnd finally, the Varsitarian Article (more articles to come)
http://www.varsitarian.com/moredetail.asp?id=3146So again there are currently five scalarizer models now. The characteristics and voicing are as follows :
Crystal core - gives the guitar a flat and sparkly tonal response
Metal core - Crisp and punchy tone, with upper mids emphasis
Organicore - Warm response, with emphasis on the "warm" midrange frequencies.
Hydrocore - Cool, wet and wavy signal. Like having a mild chorus built inside your guitar
Firecore - Aggressive and edgy tone. Like having a permanent "crunch" sound inside your guitar.
Combinations of these scalarizer types will imbibe a guitar with the characteristics of the scalarizers installed. For instance, a guitar with a crystal-metal core combination installed will have both the crisp and punchy tone plus the sparkly character. Organicrystal will give a woody, warm and organic tone plus the sparkly, chimey character. Organic-Metal will give both the crispy, crunchy tone plus the warmth and woody sound of the organicore.
Let the fun begin again !
