plate indeed?

i thought i've always heard this on phil spec. stuff, christ bell - i am the cosmos, and something off the notorious byrd brothers: the sound of plate on the snare. how i think it's routed is whichever mic has the most snare is sent out via aux to a plate, into a compressor and returned. and it soun...

stuff.

1. the reason i guess i thought oktava was making lomo copies is because of misleading ebay posts. someone had, for auction, an oktava preamp with a lomo capsule. i thought it was oktava making a lomo-like capsule. guess not. but maybe.. i swear that's what i read. anyway.. whatever. 2. john davis. ...

Re: Big Muff keeps killing signal.

while i'm sure there is a technical reason why that pedal is killing tone but i can give you others.. you have a shit load of pedals. what do you expect? second of all, anyone here who owns or has used big muffs can agree, they are noisy and definitely dont have true bypass! they do fuck with your t...
