I get a little carried away thinking about combinations: One that I’m thinking about is either pairing a Harbinger or Doomstortion with the CitrusAmp to get some sort of more modern hard rock/metal sound – I know Jim Root of Slipknot used an Orange for a while as well as Mastodon. I’m also thinking of pairing the Diamond 30 with the NT Compressor to emulate the chime of U2’s early albums. I know your new/upcoming releases mention the Brian May sound, but the Diamond and a Naga Boost would probably be good with that. I think a good combination for a deep, sub bass sound could be either NT comp with the Burner to really saturate it so it cuts through on smaller speakers and shakes the bigger speakers, or maybe the delay instead of the comp to really fatten it up – I’m actually thinking more about this application more for electronic/cinematic music than rock.
I’m waiting on a current order that has both the ModBender and the Cock it that I’ll use a dual wiring board on specifically to get that Ronno sound – I’ll let you know how that sounds!
I agree with brd, it’s fun to mess around with EQ settings to find your sound (or in this case, famous player sounds), but once you’ve locked in to what you like, I’d imagine lots of people appreciating this set and forget method – “Hand me my EQ pedal, would you?” “You want the Rhoads version or the Dimebag version?”. It also might be easier than I think it is, but I love the idea of swapping out select resistors for different curves/frequencies, and once a builder feels confident enough in their circuit building skills, they can model their own profile.
This was super awesome to come back to after a weekend vacation – I am definitely a beginner gearhead/circuit assembler and just now becoming familiar with the Rockman units that seemed to be very crucial to the 80s radio rock sound, with Def Leppard in particular. I had wondered “how hard could it be to just recreate that rack in a big pedal?” And then the rabbit hole began of looking at the different versions, looking at the schematics and components, learning about the different clean channels and I essentially gave up. But this is really cool to see that (if I’m understanding correctly) you’ve recreated that EQ profile, and the level adjusts the severity of the EQ? On a related note, I think I read that it sat in mixes extremely well as it was made for that reason and layering, and that a few guitarists back in the day were really excited to get that sound only to be disappointed with what they heard without other accompaniment.
These look (and sound) great! The Cock It Wah, Orange, and ModBender have been sitting in my cart for a while, but the bass PCB is a great excuse to finish the order. Question: would you say that the Stadium Rock is influenced by the Rockman tones? I see the Boston and Def Leppard mentions, and I’ve been interested in recreating that sound.
What luck!! I got more info on favorite players, and this really fits in with their boards. I’m definitely going to pick one up today or this weekend, I’ve already started a design for this lol. Thanks to both of you!
I really hope this is a teaser for an NT transistor Big Muff circuit.
I’ve also got some BAT41 and BAT46 diodes I’m going to try with the EMEXAR – I really love being as close to the original as possible, but at 2.50 per 1n34a plus shipping from the sites I’ve seen, I think I’ll limit it to one “authentic” board.
