HAHAHA!

I meant the hum/noise from the pedal.

badongrodrigs · « **Reply #101 on:** May 16, 2007, 12:08:43 AM »

try cutting the gain, and check if there's still some hum. btw, single coils ba gamit mo?

maxzboy · « **Reply #102 on:** May 16, 2007, 12:11:11 AM »

tried that sir, meron pa din eh. yup squire strat.
I know you should expect a lil bit of hum, but mines too loud .. . parang aircon na halos eh!

This may sound stupid, but how do I adjust the settings on the Noise gate? What should I look for? Any settings you could recommend? i checked all the pedals, sa Boston Distortion lang tlga may hum.

as for my cables, I double checked them also, ok naman. I use Neutrik plugs and Nuvelle cables, ok naman sya. Actually the gear is silent until the Distortion gets turned on, sa ibang pedals ok naman.

sorry to burst your bubble bro, pero medyo di ganun ka-effective ang filtering ng Boston Noise Gate kasi e.. hindi nafifilter ng Boston yung noise as effectively as, say an MXR Smart Gate. yung cheaper alternative nung Smart Gate is the Behringer Intelligate. i haven't tested the Behringer though. try mo rin ipa-mod yung Boston Distortion mo to reduce noise

have it modded by sir jobet.

ganun ba tlga kalakas ang hum ng Boston? how abt the HM-100?

gjuanengo · « **Reply #106 on:** May 16, 2007, 02:09:11 AM »

What you hear is probably 60-cycle hum.

Turn off the TV in your room, move your amp away from the aircon, or any motor.

ANother one would probably be the distortion is out of whack. have it checked by BAMF aka Sir Jobet.

And try your setup with the TV off, amp away from your aircon or fan.
and possibly with a humbucker-loaded guitar.

@ubersam, the decimator really lives up to its name?

Why, yassirree it does so in spades! The ISP Decimator has the most natural feel and response, not to mention sound, among the other noise reduction / gate pedals that I have tried (Boss NS-2 and Hush pedal). I had it after the wah, just before the preamp. I tried it in front of the preamp first, to cut out the guitar noise before going in. It worked so well that I never bothered trying it after the preamp (or in the loop). The preamp itself had some inherent noise in the high gain modes (high gain hiss) but I found that particular noise (and its level) to be acceptable.

When it come to noise reduction, my POV is that achieving clinical cleanness or noiselessness is virtually unattainable. You'll end up getting institutionalized with a serious case of OCD trying to. What you do want to achieve is the attainable level of cleanness or noiselessness that is acceptable to you.

suggest po kayo ng aus na effects... im browsing boss, visual sound and electro harmonix... as for the sound, wala pa naman akong specific genre... i like songs from gnr to saosin, etc... naghahanap po ako ng magandang effects eh... specifically distortion, overdrive...

Please lang, put an amp in your wishlist too. Because the guitar-->amp chain is the basic tone you'll get. If you get an amp with OD then much better. Go tube all the way! Now let FX add the colors you want.

IncX · « **Reply #111 on:** June 02, 2007, 10:44:06 AM »

start with a Boston HM100...

work your way up the GAS ladder.

ayofish · « **Reply #112 on:** June 03, 2007, 12:56:46 AM »

mag ts5 ka na lng or ts7 tapos mod mo na lng to ts808 specs. pramis mas mura. ganda ng tunog. i wouldn't trade my ts5 for a ts808 any day eheheheh its 1/5 the price and sounds just the way i like it. the warmth and the smooth od sound is so good ehhehe

bitusan · « **Reply #113 on:** June 03, 2007, 08:41:56 AM »

ganun ba tlga kalakas ang hum ng Boston? how abt the HM-100?

i had a boston hm100 a few months back.. walang hum dude. okay na okay, at tahimik pa. hmm.. maybe the circuitry is [strawberry] up. have it checked. kung may sira, return the unit, para hindi ka rin lugi. sayang naman yung binayad mo kung magpapaayos ka pa...pwede pa sanang mod money yun. hehe. goodluck!

hello people!

Currently im planning to get a good distortion pedal ranging 5k up to 6k maximum, second hand probably. Im into rock soloing and i dig thick, crunchy metal sounds. Whats the best i could get at this price range? I dont want an MT2 because i think it sounds nasally, neither a ds-2 i just dont want how it sounds, or jsut plug it to an EQ maybe? anyway, what could you guys suggest?

thanks a lot!

and if you also tell me what boost goes best with your suggestion.

id appreciate your suggestions!

sayang tsong! di mo naabutan yung Metal Muff ni Shekoski! yung ang ideal distortion ko, malaman! chuggy hehehe at may boost pa.

bilhin mo yung Fulltone Distortion Pro from embassy_of_dreams. it used to be mine. it's one heck of a distortion pedal

gjuanengo · « **Reply #120 on:** June 12, 2007, 01:36:48 PM »

I find the fulltone to be too smooth for my tastes.

If you want real metal madness in one pedal, get an MXR dime distortion.

Or grab a doubleshot (rolexm is selling one) and place an od before it. amazing thickness.

As for me, im happy with my vox bulldog.

I prefer the EQ BEFORE the mod, but if your setup works for you, why not diba?

At the end of the day, its in how you want your setup to sound.
