I think it was J playing the clip, why would they lie, he is definately playing the flanger clips. I don’t think he uses the pedal, but than again he doesn’t use a bunch of the pedals he has really anymore.

you know big companies they need suport…so they can fib abit
yah i just mean on the metal muff i mean it just doesnt sound like js tone you know
i dunno if thats j playing the flanger hoax i always thought he used an electric mistress

There’s alot of glare, but the knobs read: volume, tone, reverb, and tremolo. It’s pretty cool, only $100.

wow cool beans yah i think going for the vintage japanesse amp market is a good idea cause there probably gonna start going up in price soon *damn you jack white!*

hey wait is that one of those tesco soild state reverb and tremolo units?? how does it sound i saw one once and i thought about getting one

I just got the Danelectro Fab Flange Pedal (cheap, $15 pedal) and I have no idea how to use it. I’m really not sure how a flange pedal is supposed to sound, but I think I’ve got it set right. For awhile, it just sounded like the chorus pedal, but I messed with the knobs for a little bit until I got it sounding better.

I don’t have numbers for the knobs, but there are three (Regen, Speed, Depth). If you could give me a general area of where the knobs should be set to get a basic flange tone, it would be a lot of help.

yah try using it with a distortion pedal they have an awsome jet plane sound cranked

I was on the EH site today and saw that J endorses the Metal Muff. There is even a clip of him playing it (so the website says). J has repeatedly said that his favorite pedal is his Big Muff. Maybe he uses the Metal Muff for recording. Who knows.

yah it says that for the little big muff too and i serioulsy doubt that is j playing that sample*doesnt sound like him*
uhmm yah he plays a muff but like the orginal 60s and 70s
but i dunno i might be wrong…

Welcome to the wonderful world of "vintage" effects! Back in the day, and with EH being one of the biggest offenders, these pedal makers would often use whatever close-enough parts that they could get for the lowest price. On top of that, sometimes two examples of the exact same part could be vastly different in themselves, since tolerence ranges were much more broad back then. So, two Big Muffs, etc., could be a month apart in age, and sound different, because EH got a new shipment of parts between them. It’s all part of the fun…

Actually, it’s pretty much the same story today, except that supply and manufacturing process have dramatically improved over the years, so things are much more consistant in functionality, availability and price.

oh wow i didnt know that thanks for the info
yah i like how it sounds thou

I put my Boss BF-3 Flanger (I dont have/couldnt afford an EH Electric Mistress) after my Little Big muff and Boss SD-1 and it sounds pretty close to what J does on live versions of Freak Scene. It doesn’t sound 100% the same, but it’s still a satisfying result.

oh yah how does those little big muff sounds ive been thinking of getting but but i dunno if it would work for me or not i hate how the new american muffs sound *too modern* do they live up to the claims of sounding like the 70s one

btw. I think J uses scrambler on BUG album track no bones near the end of the song…like thunderboltwhiplash it just sounds like a scrambler to me…

I pretty sure its just J shaking an amp with a spring reverb. If you have an amp with one try it sounds rad.

yah mine just rings like crazy with my dis and flanger on it drives me NUTS*even at low reverb levels*
and i cant turn on or off my reverb sadly on my amps and i like to use my flanger WAY TOO MUCH ive been thinking of getting one of these kits you can build a fender reverb unit copy from weber speakers i love fender reverb its so nice and creamy but the reissues of that unit arent as good as the old ones and…..sorry im rambaling on sorry

[eyesadrift]

yah ive been thinking of buying an old univox ec 100 echo chamber ther usally about 100-200 bucks *cant beat that for vintage* and you have to FIND tapes for them to work thou… kinda hard to find and you have to mod them with these other tapes anyways i know van halen used it on "eruption" he always had an interesting sound
they kinda remind me the fender reverb unit
id probably just use it for studio thou
heres some info

try guitarpartsresource.com they’re usually pretty good, I got a sweet white perloid pickgaurd from them for my 62 reissue. It didn’t come with the metal plate behind the pickgaurd but I had it from the original. So I just put on with the new white pickguard.
