Decision Time!

[duhvoodooman]

What ive decided to do after some playing around is have CH1 as clean (SRV clean ) ....

From what I've read, SRV often used Fender blackface amps as well as a Dumble Steel String Singer head for clean tones. So the Black 2x12 and Boutique CL models should zero in on that tone pretty well for ya!

Matt – When you connect your Zoom GFX-1 to your new Vox amp, let me know if you get any noise from your strings. When I connect my Digitech to my AD30VT, my strings make a strange noise. When I connect my Digitech to my Peavey 40 watt solid-state amp I get no noise from the stings. I think it has something to do with connecting a digital processor into another digital processor. I am curious to your testing results.

Pedals work fine with the AD30VT.

VooDoo - Have you experienced this phenomenal with your Vox amp?

I cant say Ive notcied any stange noises. But the amp doesnt seem to like the pedal too much, the effects sound pretty harsh and metalic. Looks like I'm gonna have to get seperate stompboxes, but that can wait.

I'm trying to find a definitive destortion I like- the Black212 is great for cleans and I love it, but its a toss between UK modern and US highgain for the distortions.

Heres a sound clip with me just messing around. Not heavy, something Ive been toying with for ages, but struggling to fit into a song. The backing is very similar to a song on Pulp fiction that Ive never found the name of.

p.s, I havnt got the sound levels quite right for the line in, but hey

That was really cool Matt, I thought it was more Twin Peaks than Pulp Fiction if you ask me

Matt – I believe there is a post on this forum that mentions the fact that the Blackface modeler does not like pedals.

Cheers Tim, but it seems that most the channels tend not to like the Zoom. I'll try my friends Boss DD-6 tomorrow and see if it likes that any better.

After some more messing around, here's me trying to play metal for the first time. Now, I'm not hugely fond of this style of music, so I'm just messing around for the hell of it

I didn't like anything that came out of my Vox with my ZOOM 505II. Of course, with the effects on the amp itself I really don't need it. The Vox seems to do well with my Behringer OD, though.

I think running your Zoom 505II with your Vox is resulting in a "double digital whammy" with the Vox. Putting a digitally-reproduced signal on top of a digitally-reproduced signal often times causes one or the other to get "fussy".
Granted, those are laymen's terms, but when I run my own Zoom G2 pedal through my Valve Jr., or my Classic 30 (both tube amps), the tonal results are positively excellent. I haven't tried the G2 with my Cyber Twin, which is hybrid amp much like the Vox, but probably won't, either, because the tones and effects it has are equal, or superior to the Zoom's. Still, the G2 is a very versatile pedal, and for less than $100 bones, it does a ton of things very well. Haven't had the opportunity to try it with a solid-state amp as of yet. Which speaking of, maybe I need to buy one . . . ?
