also, sometimes you want it to sound like lofi crap. True tho, digi dist can suprise in less conventional scenarios, different sources than guitars etc, used in just certain freq bands or in routing with other fx. Most old digi distortion i tried sounded like diarrhea fart after rochefort that stayed too long on sunlight, like boss me multi fx, dep5 etc. Probably something between Cheddar and Old Amsterdam. To stay vaguely on topic, a long time ago, in a universe not completely dissimilar from this one, there was a Yamaha SPX900 that i tended to use the distortion of.ĭon't know what variety of cheese it was tho. What else is out there?I have to ask tho, what does cheese sound like?Īnd is it more of a Gouda sound or more like a Camambert? Or Roquefort even? Kurzweil Mangler - Very good and realistic sounding overdrive and distortion.Īkai EB20 effect expansion board - Noisy, cheesy and digital sounding overdrive. Yamaha FX500B - Very cheesy, very digital raunchy sounding distortion. Sony DPS-V55 - Overdrive effect that is cheesy in all the good ways. not bit reduction but normal distortion/overdrive type effects only.īoss SE50 - Bad noisy cheese distortion on guitar effects + a quite nice overdrive on the rotary speaker algorithm. It would be helpful to have a list of devices containing distortion algorithms and some description of their sound. And so cheap too I think I'll need to track one down, especially if it sounds as Krafty as you say. It's pretty cool those old Behringers have balanced I/O and internal supplies. Thanks to Derp for turning me onto this machine. I absolutely love my 9150 so I'm thinking of getting a 2nd one to have that awesome distortion in stereo. Zoom seems to have a lot of very interesting products. Sometimes you want an artisan cheddar on your burger and sometimes you want a processed Kraft single.Most of the time I'm all about the Kraft single I have an old Zoom 1202 I bought when I was like 14 years old back in the mid 90s and it's got some deliciously horrid reverbs and delays. I couldn't imagine only using Lexicon for my main effects. We all know some trashy effects can be the perfect thing sometimes. =( Those newer little Zoom multi effects pedals are probably a better bet if you want better quality sound. It also has MIDI too but if I remember correctly it's only for program changes and stuff. Rackmount format with balanced I/O and an internal PSU are all bonuses in my book.
