HEVYDEVY FORUMS

I was trying to figure out how devin got that really cool delay sound, so i was playing around with some delays but i got carried away.

I came up with this weird sounding guitar track, it may take some time to listen to, it might be one of those things like devlab where you might just think it's weird.

It's a droning type of thing.

i guess this is my introduction to the forum too, so. hello .

That was really cool, actually! I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially the little chirpy noises (fret slides?) near the end.

I've gotta agree with Josiah... that was cool. Nice, calming ambient stuff.

Thirded...quite liked it.

It's nice, but I have got a few comments...

- Too much gain. You don't need that much gain; in fact, the more gain you use, the sloppier your sound gets and the less tone will be noticable (if this is a word). Especially in a live situation, it's important to keep your gain as low as possible, if you want to get the best guitar sound out your amp.

-Lower the feedback of the delay. I do like the delay itself, with the many repetitions, but the feedback is pretty high (I'm guessing 60%), which gives the delay a higher volume than the original sound. Ofcourse this is a matter of taste, but I always like it, when my original sound has the highest volume. With a good delay (TC 2220), this is no problem ofcourse, but with a shittier one, you will get some hisses in your delay, if you use a high feedback.

The rest is just good. It's original guitarplaying, using so much delay. Difficult to use in a band situation, I would guess.

I thought of correcting him but knew you'd probably get in first.

It worries me that when you think of someone doing things quickly, you think of me....

... Fair point. Wasn't thinking.
