CRAP! i never doubted the versatility of the overtone,
You didn't write this either? Hi guys,
no offense, i think everyone that has posted a clip has hit some great tone, and are all good players. But to be honest i think they all kind of lean around the same sort of tone and no one has really showed the versatility that this amp is supposed to have... or this? so, considering this is a competitor of the two-rocks/fuchs/etc.. i was wondering if anyone who owns an amp could please try to replicate this, from a two-rock signature:
(Clip)
if that sort of tone can even be approached on this OTS, then i think we would all gain a much greater appreciation of the versatility of sounds this amp can reproduce. and in the end this: (and im sorry i dont mean to sound like a troll!)

I've found about 3 is all I like as well. Marin, where do you have the internal trimmer set? Mine's at about 10:00-10:30.
Jake, I don't have a clue. I have never opened my Overtone. M. |

P.S. If everyone want a Fender tone, why not try to get a Fender sample instead of a Two Rock one? I think that that would be harder. Well maybe you could give it a go Marin I'm sure you got the chops for a little hendrix chording or just jamming out some nice deep rythm perhaps, then maybe we can put an end to this thread, two rock / fender in that particular example they're in the same ball park for the tone we're talking about.  Dunno if want to get into this pissing contest, it started off bad. In any case, didn't Hendrix play Marshall's....... M. |

Marin,
Are you doing anything special as far as effects, recording techniques, mods, etc...
No, nothing special. No mods.....yet.  When I record, I record at low volume and with a standard Shure SM57. I typically tend to use a bit of delay and/or reverb. thanks M. |

Now Marin you seem to be possibly verging on the defensive side with your apples and oranges.
I feel that I need to express my opinion which is that it is not necessary to replicate a "two rock / mayer" tone for any amp to be versatile. That line of thought is biased, to say the least. If the object of the challenge was "lets see if the Overtone can hit that Two Rock and if any of you guys can play like Mayer at the same time" - I wouldn't have any objection. What I object to is that the opening thread doubts the versatility of an Overtone because it might not just hit "that" two rock tone, when there are hundreds of different Overtone samples on the web. This is biased and malicious. To explain better what I mean: is Two Rock versatile? Can it hit a particular Overtone tone? If it can't, is it less of a versatile amp? I don't think so, and the same applies to the Overtone. For the record, I have been strumming now and I think I can get close to "that" tone, but I can't play like Mayer (yet  ). M. P.S. If everyone want a Fender tone, why not try to get a Fender sample instead of a Two Rock one? I think that that would be harder. |

no it means can it do something else other than jazz noodling, which is 99.999% of what ive seen of this amp..
that two rock video just happened to be a video on youtube of an amp that is supposed to sound quite similar to the OTS, but displayed a completely different angle on the amps usage...
You still haven't explained why you believe the Overtone is not versatile. Versatility is an relative term and needs to be referenced. Your only argument for the Overtone's non-versatility is "Hey, it can't do one particular tone which another clone can". Just for the sake of the discussion, for all we know, the amp you are referencing may be able to do only that one tone. Does this make the Overtone less versatile? I don't think so, and above all - it is less versatile compared to what??? It's like saying that an apple doesn't taste good because it doesn't taste like an orange. As Jack said before, there are tons of clips of the Overtone around which IMHO support the "versatility" of the Overtone. Then again, as I mentioned before, "versatility" is a relative term, and albeit all the different samples, the Overtone will never be versatile enough to some. M. |

Hey Jack, judging by the opening thead, it appears that "versatile" means "can do a Two-Rock tone" ( the clean, Mayer one and you need to wear a funny skiing hat.)  M. |

marin, lovely sounds.....what settings did you use? i can't seem to get that type of sound at all, laurie i have a lot of the mods on my amp so maybe i won't manage it? ?? hi, I kept the overdrive low (around 3) and Volume quite high (around . No PAB and rock switch on. Ratio is low and Presence is half way up. The guitar is quite bass friendly too. cheers. M. |
