Title: Overtone with a T.C. Electronic G major
Post by: Pickmaster on August 19, 2008, 06:31:33 PM
Hello everyone,

Started to use T.C. electronic G major in OTS loop, controlled by G minor.
Works just great, no need for Dumbleator.
Here are sound samples:

Gibson L6 with a single coil bridge pickup.
Expression pedal + flanger, phazer, delay, reverb, then octave up+down with large hall, then little compression with delay, reverb

Funky Blues – L6 single coil bridge. Channel switching with a G minor + G major.
 26st sec.- overdrive.
40th sec - bridge humbucker.
1,15 min – drive + preamp boost,
1,54 – single bridge clean.

Glad to hear it, I've got a G-sharp and g-switch arriving this week!! I thought I might have to get a K-ator.

Nice work (as usual) Pickmaster!  Funny this topic just started - I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a TC G-system,  it's a major outlay, but I could cut down the size of my floor board and still use a few of my vintage effects - in fact selling off most of my old stompers would finance most of it! - choices... choices... ???

Good evening hywelg, Mitch,

To tell the truth I never tried any Klein/dumbleator to compare to my other loop processors. One thing I know for sure if one uses proper bypass switch (because “bypass” on the rack devices IS NOT A REAL bypass, signal still goes through the digital chain)  like this

(http://www.drika.biz/loopmaster.JPG)

This is a simple, double pole switch which disconnects FX’s IN and OUT contacts and reconnects amps SEND – RETURN poles. So you can hear unaffected signal from the amp.
With this you can fine tune and match amps real volume, tone without and with FX unit. I use short (40 cm) RF leads (one’s ground wire is disconnected from the jack’s ground pole to avoid ground loop hum) and use G majors EQ for frequency compensation if I need to or shape the tone for each patch differently.
I will soon try my friend’s dumbleator made by Brandon Montgomery (Bludotone amps)  to compare if it works better in the loop.

Mitch sorry I did not reply on your old post in Russian. Being GEORGIAN I try not to show my knowledge of “enemy” language, especially now

Cheers

No problem at all my friend!
How is our cabinet working? Have you used built in mics?
