Geiger Counter test.
6 minutes of noise-wank. http://www.sendspace.com/file/p7xzdwSorry 'bout Sendspace, Mike. I was trying to knock the file size down by only encoding at 192, but even then it still came out over 8 meg, so I can't upload it to Maplifiles for the time being. Anyhoo, it's a stock Tele into the Geiger Counter into the AC30 and a 57. Occasionally assisted by the Timefactor and Cathedral, and I'm using it to distort the Mothership at the very very end. This is pointless fuckery of the highest order- random riffs, noises and leads. Totally unfucked-with but for some loudening. I love my pedalboard. It is the best toy ever.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
Listening... so this was ALL guitar? The second thing you did there was very much the kind of thing one would play with a keyboard. Oh you clever cleverthing...
This sounds like it makes all kinds of neat noises. Whacky interludes for certain parts of songs and stuff...

Re: Geiger Counter test.
Yeah, it's all a Telecaster into the Geiger Counter, into a clean amp miced up with a 57, with a little delay and reverb in spots. And the Mothership at the end. And yes, there's some obvious synth mimicry here; I'm really still learning how to use the thing and recorded whatever I stumbled upon.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
That thing sounds extremely cool.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
That sounds so lovely. The snythy part around 1:07 was grand. I must obtain one for myself sometime.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
Nice and bitcrushy, with a side of ring modulation.
I'll bet it would be sweet for destroying drum loops.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
The more and more I look into getting an awesome pedal board, the more and more I realize I am just copying Snaxie's board.
Well not entirely. Switch the Cathedral out for a more vanilla reverb and slap in a DL4 amongst other things and it is more to my taste. But I really want to try that fucking Mothership. That thing sounds all sorts of fun.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
This thing sounds awesome. Must haz it.
The bit around 24 seconds is so cool. You could use it for some evil sounding drum-type things, I reckon.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
I'm fairly cerrtain I can coax a nice conventional distortion out of the thing, too! I should have turned my map up louder to record this; it doesn't capture the full THUD you get in the room. The top end overall is surprisingly not harsh, despite it's overt lo-fi digitalness. For all its horrid-soundingness, it's... pretty pleasantly voiced. It's the good kind of bad.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
Having owned a Line 6 Echo Pro, I prefer the Timefactor. It's a bit clearer to my ears and does a better job of doing all the Line 6 stuff does delay-wise and then some. The tape/analog settings are a bit more versatile, there's no level issues with the ducking and reverse delays, it'll do filter sweeps and modulation all day long... IMO, it's worth the extra price even if only for the space it saves with modulation pedals on the board. It does a good ring mod in addition to a nice chorus and decent flanging/rotary effects. The one downside is the editing depth- it's very much a tweaker's device. That being said, the Line 6 delay stuff is nice. If only it were stereo. Drum loops can be awesome in mono anyway, though. I'm still barely scratching the surface here. The controls are highly, highly interactive. Setting the bit and sample rates as high as they go doesn't always yield usable sounds- or much of anything at all- with all the wavetables, either. Sometimes you have to kill everything to make it more-or-less playable. It's jacked up. In a good way. Very much so. It responds very strangely on some settings. I was playing higher up on the neck there and got almost no volume unless I muted all the strings and slammed away. It produced an interesting effect into a modulated delay and room reverb. It's very easy to go all Trent Reznor-meets-Adrian Belew with this thing.

Re: Geiger Counter test.
With the Timefactor ... You hold down the the switches to enter the preset mode right? When you do that, do you just hold it to engage that particular preset (1st/2nd/3rd), or does it enter a "preset mode" that disengages the tap tempo so that you can switch between 3 presets? I ask because if I had one, what I would want to do is: - Set nice digi-delay to preset 1 - Set reverse effect on preset 2 - Be able to set a tap tempo for digi-delay/preset 1 And then I would want an Exp. pedal as well for other fuckeries. Is it worth owning one if I only want that?
