Quick Jam to show the capabilities of 5 pedals:
These pedals are great value and would be excellent presents or acquisitions for those on tight budgets or anyone looking to start a pedal board.
Recording was made in Reaper using an SM57 going into a LA Audio MLX2 Preamp then into the PC via a Delta 1010 audio interface.
Drums where programmed from scratch using the Billy Cobham Kit from IK Multimedia’s Sampletank.
Processing was applied to drums using two extra buses: 1 with distortion and 1 with heavy compression mixed in.
All guitars where fed into a Bus with Realimit to keep tracks under control.
Master bus uses ReaLimit and two compressors chained to level off the recording in a hopefully subtle way.
The settings for each guitar recorded are below including Bass settings.
The tracks starts with the Demon Tubescreamer.
1.43 – Guitar switches to the Sonicake Fazy Cream Fuzz pedal
2.31 – Guitar switches to the Behringer SF300 Superfuzz pedal
Demon Tubescreamer:
- EFFECT: TS808 effect and TS9 effect, classic vintage overdrive effect.
- MATERIAL: made of durable metal material, anti-corrosion, wear resistance, small size.
- 2 EFFECTS IN 1: perfect upgraded, using the best quality components, close to the original sound as they come.
- FUNCTION: the tube screamer is a good device to solve the overdrive and distortion problem, designed for guitar and better music performance.
