Yellow Screamer

[Neal]

Robert. Tell me about that pedal. Do you use it in place of a tube screamer?

 

[Robert]

Yes, it is a tubescreamer on steroids. Sounds great.

i have to have one
:applause

 

[M29]

oke

 

[Spudman]

I have one of the originals and I usually leave it on all night. I play into my clean channel and have the ZYS set to a mild break up when the guitar's volume is wide open. A couple of local musicians even commented at my gig last night how fat I sounded.


+1
oke

 

[Neal]

Keep the gas flowing. I love it:happy

 

[oldguy]

I also have one of the originals, and love it.:AOK

 

[marnold]

I've got a poor-man's version that DVM made as a one-off for me before he actually even announced the ZYS Mk II. My favorite part about it is the additional clean boost.

 

[M29]

oke

 

[Neal]

Robert. When Dr. VooDoo built your Yellow Screamer, did he add the MOSFET package?

 

[Robert]

Neal, I got the exact same one as listed on his website. It has the MOSFET clipping mode.

Maybe, but what you'll really have to have is his Rabid Rodent.

What is the rapid rodent?

Robert. what is that toggle switch on the side of the yellow screamer?:help

Was it part of the kit?:help

 

[Robert]

Oh man, this thing has lots of option. Check VDM's page about the pedal - it explains it all. Go to http://duhvoodooman.com/miscimages/musical/zys_mkII.htm

The Rabid Rodent is another great pedal by DVM. It has more distortion and is based on a ProCo RAT.

Some details about the Rabid Rodent:

I'm here for ya when you're ready, Neal. Just a heads up, though--I'm already backlogged with orders through April.

I have both the Rabid Rodent AND the ZYS MkII. I'm really gonna have to do a video demo, as I've got tons of new gear. These pedals are the perfect units...

The ZYS MkII is small but has boost and OD in one small unit. I can stop both on at the same time, or one or the other. It doesn't take up much space on my board, it's 9V AC, and INCREDIBLY versatile. I use mine with about 45% gain, 65% level, and 5% tone, Flat EQ, and Mosfet. The boost is set to about 70%. Mine is unfinished and all controls are currently labelled with label maker stickers, and sharpie ticks for favourite settings.

The RR is also super cool. Small, 9Vac, versatile, and solid as a rock! It's also a brilliant form of entertainment. I recently just opened it up to watch the LED's inside light up when I played with it engaged. This thing turns my Marshall into a thick, hairy beast! Forget a hamster with rabies...I officially rename this pedal "Pissed Off Minotaur." I still can't find a setting on this that I want to LEAVE it at...too many good sounds....I'd love to see if DVM can one day make a dual RR, two separate identical circuits in one pedal...that would be COOL!

For the price, ORDER THESE PEDALS NOW!!! They're TOP quality, DVM charges WAAAAY too little for the amazing work he does, and you'll have something unique that none of your buddies that spent fortunes on Tube Screamer reissues and various Rat pedals have. I don't think anyone's demo video's can really do justice to the quality that these units are. My expectations were exceeded BY FAR!

Looks like you'll need to hire some employees soon...

When are we gonna see the discounted MIM DVM stompboxes?? :bootyshake

 

[Tone2TheBone]

I have #3 of the originals. Step on the G.A.S. and it will take you forward.

Dr. Voodoo They tell me that Undertakers and proctologist tell the best jokes, and that took the cake:applause

By the way. I plan on comming up you way this fall. I wanna do some salmond fishing up in Polaski.

By the way. I plan on comming up you way this fall. I wanna do some salmond fishing up in Polaski.

Pulaski, huh? That's about 160 miles from me--head west on I-90 to Syracuse and then about 30 miles north to Pulaski and the Salmon River there. Some huge fish to be had there, as I'm sure you know.

Just be sure to stop on your way by & stock up on DVM pedals! :rockon:

 

[Neal]

I use to fish and hunt all over the state. Mexico, Onianta, Utica. Coxsaki, Parish, Delhi. They still call me yankee down here. In fact some even blame me for the record cold snap that they had down here.

 

[Neal]

I finally aquired me one of them screamers, and if there is a better one on the planet than this, they have to be keeping it a secret.

 

[Monkus]

Congrats !

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Hmmm, I wonder how one would sound along with that Fender Concert that showed up, or my Peavey for that matter. I have a feeling that vintage 4x10 might like that overdrive a lot.

 

[aeolian]

I only have a minute but I have to chime in.

I got one of the ZYS Mk II a few months ago. I used to use a Fulltone FulldriveII, but now all I use is the ZYS. The versatility of the different overdrive modes, the ability to flip the order of the boost and overdrive, and the separate boost makes it a single-pedal solution for almost anything I want to do. It is just a great pedal.

What specifically did you get? "One of them screamers" could cover a whole lot of ground.....
