Re: Tubes! They do a ____ good! (was Re: Info on Hughes & KettnerReplex
WOW. Thanks for the in depth post! That post was fuzztastic. I'm
surprised
at what you've said about the Mesa V-Twin. After reading a thousand great
reviews on Harmony-Central about this box, I was curious to hear it. Still
am, as I see you use it's clean channel as your recording preamp, and
that's
pretty much what I was hoping for. One thing I notice is that a lot of
people complain about "buzzy" sounds with distortions, but I kind of like
that almost synth sounding tone. Mmmmm Ibanez Tube Screamer... how I
regret
selling that green box...
I also find that by filtering out a lot of the highs you can usually get
around that anyway. One funny thing was I found a little sample .wav of
the
S.I.T. pedal on the web and I thought it was WAY buzzy sounding.
I guess what I'm saying is, you can't please everyone, but you can make
everybody miserable.
