Chorus can be used to thicken or sweeten the final processed sound. It is created by sweeping a comb filter through a base delay time and generally using between a 30 to 60 percent mix between the dry and wet signal. The base delay time plays an important role in the perception of the effect. Longer base delays are more preferable to give a deep rich sound to your guitar, while shorter base delays are used for more delicate enhancement purposes. The width plays an important role in the range of perceived effect and is best used in conjunction with the speed parameter.

Yeah, I'm very keen on the less is more idea, just trying to find a way to get some sparkle on those chords.

I'd love to get an eq pedal, but I've promised not to spend any more money on guitars! (well, for a while at least...)


My guitar is an old Westone Thunder 1, with 2 fairly high output humbuckers, that I mostly use split coiled.

I find the fndr clean model tends to distort a bit, giving rise to some rather undesirable noises!


Thanks

Here's a few pre-sets that I wrote back before ZoomII. Most are flat get down and get some patchs, but I recall one as being real clean. I don't remember which. More Zoom Pre sets

On EQ, try 25. This is flat, so you should get the pure sound of your amp. On Contour start with a 0 setting. This is also flat.

Here is a great site with over 600 patch settings for the Zoom 505II

Click on "505" on the right side of the page. When the page comes up click on "Zoom 505 patch list" below the pic.

There are many great clean settings as well as awesome distortions and effects.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-useable-clean-sound/#post-118191 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-useable-clean-sound/#post-118154 Tue, 16 Aug 2005 22:29:51 +0000
Start playing chords with the piano technique, where you use the pic and fingers at the same time and "pluck" the strings. Eric Johnson does this all the time and its a big part of his clean, chimy sound.]]> Live Sound dcarroll https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-useable-clean-sound/#post-118154 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-useable-clean-sound/#post-118148 Tue, 16 Aug 2005 22:12:55 +0000 Sound designing starts from the bottom. Start with clean and basic sound
to suite you before you turn into effects. Then, and only then, work your
way up into effect, and remember, if you're ugly, a facelift and tones of makeup
won't cover it, it'll just blur it a little so you'll look fine from a far.
First off, get your 'true' sound using only your guitar, amp and your fingers. An
EQ pedal can be useful if it comes right after to fix minor problems.
Your hard work will come back to you paying extra and interest as something
you'd never thought possible before.
And one more tip: get a (sound) role model. That'll be your map for treasure.
Listen to your model well, learn every nuance and try to imitate. First by trial
and error, and later by experience.

Have a nice day!

I don't really like layering on the effects, so whats a good way of getting a nice sparkling, crisp sound?

I've played around with Chorus, reverbs, and I always use a compressor. Any thoughts? Particularly regarding EQ.

Thanks
