RE: [SurfGuitar101] Re: "Not So Nice" Sounds

Erik Carlson (ecarlson_dublin) - 14 May 2002 18:46:37

Hi Dana,
You do mean put the overdrive 'first' before the reverb, inbetween the
guitar and reverb? That's what I was doing. I did try it after the reverb
and it's better. I would love to have a Klon Centaur, I hear they're great,
but hard to find and pricey. I was thinking about the Voodoo Lab's Sparkle
Drive(?) That might be pretty close to Centaur?
thanks,
Erik

Erik, not sure about your "not so nice" sound, but you should "always" (yes,
there are exceptions) put a boost or overdrive pedal first in the signal
chain (otherwise you can end up with weird artifacts, some desirable but
most not). I never found the Tube Screamer to be particularly pleasant
sounding in most cases (too mid-rangy, especially at the higher drive
settings), and finally gave up on mine. I still swear by my KLON Centaur
for a nice full sound in front of a solid state amp, but it certainly is not
a very tone-flexible pedal. Hope this helps.
Best regards, Dana Vincent

I have a question about the '63 reissue reverb...
I tried running a tubescreamer into the reverb, (guitar > Ibanez TS9 >
reverb > amp)
It gave a not so nice sound on the high notes, is this expected? Maybe I
should put the tubescreamer after the reverb? Or is there something wrong
with the reverb?
