http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,98084.30.htmlgood day mga philmusicers! haha
Lipton made me one of his clones, the LA MERA drive, his Mi Audio Crunchbox clone.
As of the while, Im pretty satisfied with it. KRAnTS na KRANTS!!! hahaha
well, i promised lipton to give word about it so ito na. im not a tone expert so wag kayo masyado magtitiwala sakin. hehe.
Sound- Ang first instinct ko when i try Distortion pedals is to put all knobs in flat levels. ewan ko kung bakit pero parang meron dito sa method na to na nakakapag pasipag sakin mag gitara haha. labo.
So ayun all flat levels na. the moment i engaged the pedal and stroked some few riffs natuwa ako bigla kasi ung hinahanap kong crunch ay nandito na. hehe. Midway pa lang ung crunch level pero matapang na. kumagat na kumbaga. obviously nakagat ako. haha
second step. i know most of the guitarists or some, like amp-like characteristics diba? like when you roll back the volume knob of your guitar, youll get this lush clean sound. So sinubukan ko yun. at natuwa na naman ako dahil nag rerespond talaga sya sa volume knob ng guitar. Most of our songs in my band naman mostly use overdrive tones kaya swak talaga kunwari verse part ng song, i dont even have to stomp something, just a stroke of a knob, nag babago na ang texture hehehe
Thirdstep. Definition is very important. Of course sa mababang crunch levels, okay na okay ang chord definition ng mga pedals or amps. PEro dito sa la mera, maski mataas pa ung crunch level, nandoon parn ung definition. So natuwa na naman ako. haha.
Last step. gusto ko marinig ung feedback nya. so sinubukan ko mag strum ng matagal tapos sinustain ito, ayun ayos ang feedback nya. medyo maingay siya pero its all good manageable pa naman. di naman ung ingay na buong guitar playing mo puro feedback na hehe. sapat lang ung ingay. I like it that way. Durrtyyyy!!!
hahaha. so ayun ang aking napaka sabaw na review. Kung gusto nyo marinig, i made a soundclip.
www.myspace.com/karnerecords tapos hanapin nyo ung la mera drive test. heheh.tapos play nyo. tapos critique nyo din. haha. ung tone na lang kasi ung playing ko basura eh. hahaha
dito sa clip, i used my custom elegee SG, tapos ung la mera straight sa pod for cabinet simulations. ung delay thing dd6 un. hehe.
kaya bili na kay lipton, pogi't macho na, madali pa kausap at mabait.
mabuhay ka sir!!
