a little bit off-topic - sorry - but i wanted to chime in on the answer to Dig's question about a LIVE RIG and that i don't think it has anything to do with re-amping, slaving, or reverb LIVE.Dig wrote:What I want to know is how close can I come to getting this type of re-amped delayed-reverb, spacious sound for live application? ...and, of course, HOW?
just 2 amps into separate cabs, one dry, and one wet with a quick slap that is slightly modulating. simple recipe. tastes goot.
for your slap, find a delay that has some modulation control to it - or simulated tape warble - and make it so that it is just slightly modulating in and out of tune in a slow sweep. i use a cheap-o digitech stomp box with a "tape sim" setting.
you won't need or want any verb in a live rig once you hear what this setup can do. it adds depth and detailed character to everything you do. you could just drop the guitar on the ground and it will sound cool.
No, but seriously; that sounds like yet another great idea, and I will definitely try it. The only reason I would hesitate right now is because I'm not too fond of my #2 amp's tone. I do actually have a good Tonebone A/B/Y pedal for the whole dual amp recipe. I think I'd have to invest in another amp or, at least another cab (which is something I'm not prepared to do right now) to get a comparable tone from both amps. On the other hand, I nearly have all the ingredients for the "re-amping" method without spending more money.
I'm back at it. I don't have the Eventide delay or any of the other specific equipment specified by a few folks here, but stuff that should get me close. I've got my dry rig set. Then, with a line out from the dry rig, the signal goes into a Danelctro Reel Echo with tape sim and mix dial set completely to wet. From there the slapback delayed signal goes into a Roland SRV 2000 digital reverb unit and then into the power amp input of my Fender Super-Sonic. I've accomplished separating the dry and wet signals. My dilemma at this point is the wet/dry mix of the reverb unit. I can make it completely wet to where the only thing coming from the wet side is a slapback delayed reverb which is kind of strange. It's just like phantom reverb created by nothing. ... or I can mix some of the dry signal (which is actually the slapback from the true dry signal). Still, I'm not able to achieve that sound like dirtycooter was able to get on his clip where it sounds like there is this shallow pool of reverb swishing around at your ankles while the dry tone still hits you from the knees up. I'm getting some very cool, huge sounds, but still not that elusive reverb.
