fakfak Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've been looking around for info, and I found this on a guitar site: "I got a reasonably convincing (and much quieter, warmer sound) Leslie effect by turning my MXR Phase 90 up all the way, then backing it off about 3/8 to 1/4 of an inch. Turn on some mild overdrive AFTER the Phase 90, and you'll get that sweet "breathy" doppler sound" I've not tried that myself, but assuming it works, it's good odds Jon does something similar as he does have all the mentioned gear in his setup (it's also worth noting that they've stopped playing the songs he used to use the Phase 90 for, and he added the relatively mild distortion of the Tube Screamer for this tour.)

Malcolm-Edge Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 That would make complete sense. As there is some time given between Politik into Lovers to adjust levels on the board of need be. It could also be what he is doing on the album...Tell us the results fakfak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 "Tell us the results fakfak" I don't have access to a phase 90, so I can't test it...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! i got something really nice out of my fender tele thinline, zoom g2.1u and my kustom 30w amp. i'll give you the specs in % Phaser: before drive, modulation rate: all the way up Drive: overdrive (equals Boss OD-1); Gain: 48%; Tone: 20%; Level: 100% Reverb: Hall Reverb: Decay: 100%; Tone: 100%; Mix/Level: 100% AMP: Lead Channel (=with dist.) Gain: ~1/12 = ~8.33% Volume: 50% Effects: Chorus+Reverb: Level: 100% Tele Thinline: Volume: 100% Tone: 100% PU: Bridge + Neck PS: How should I record it?! i actually use my zoom for that purpose... but i cannot switch the amp before the zoom.... i got a mic, though i guess it won't help putting it directly into my pc... i'm missing a pa system with phantom-electricity-thingy-stuff...

Malcolm-Edge Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Do you have a headphone output on the amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 i do ------ i have tried it and well... it's shit, far far far too many noises (produced by my amp =( ) i tried it with a mic, way better but still some noise. where sould i upload it (not youtube or any kind of that...)? file: MP3, size: 353,5 KB (361952 Bytes), length: 22sec well, the sound is just a rough try, but to my ears it's ok. when you cover stuff, it's always an approach, not 100% exact, but who wants that anyways? the record itself would sound better with the rest of the song and if it was mixed/remastered properly, i suppose. however, don't kill me for killing your ears... ;) -------------------------------------------------------------- here's the rapidshare link: http://rapidshare.com/files/254876278/lij-lead-intro.mp3.html (remember: it can be downloaded only 10 times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 rapidshare? The noise is to be expected. Your sound card is partly to blame. The quality of chords you use. And mastering. Post it up anyways. We'd love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintercell37 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 princesanji, try Windows Live Skydrive next time. No download limits! I can imagine that would sound better in real life. I think it needs more.......er, chorus? The effect that makes it sound more hollow, more surrounding. I don't know for certain, I'm not an electric guitarist, but I'm sure someone here knows what I mean ;) But really, it's a great effort! :) Edit: A touch of chorus + some more reverb in Adobe Audition produced a nice result, but I'm not sure you're playing correctly? http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=mn0074634 That's more or less what Jonny plays live (if you look on youtube), if you're curious for a more accurate sound. Mess with it a bit though, I think the person who tabbed that was rushing through. Not that it really matters...yours sounds pretty good either way. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyM218 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Might be the mic your using to. They use Shure SM-57's to record guitars in studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowtalk Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I had a dream a few nights ago that I met Jonny at a cafe. He wrote down some instructions for me, how to achieve the Lovers In Japan sound. But of course I woke up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintercell37 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Haha! Typical. If only our dreams were more considerate. Anyone got an update on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyM218 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 What do you need to know? The noise is Jonny playing under some heavy reverb and delay, with slight distortion. Reverb is probably produced by his rack gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 "Reverb is probably produced by his rack gear." The heavy reverb is certainly produced by the Eventide Processor in the rack, The boss Reverb pedal is only used for old songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy reverb is certainly produced by the Eventide Processor in the rack, The boss Reverb pedal is only used for old songs. He's even started to play some older songs with it i.e. Slide parts in Trouble: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFbxjTexYS0]YouTube - Coldplay - Trouble (Live At BBC)[/ame] Out of interest, here's a video showing presets from the Eventide Eclipse. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M7Y0vSzeHc]YouTube - Eventide Eclipse FX demo[/ame] If you want a few pointers I believe Jonny could either be using the effect at 1:17-1:30 and/or 7:10 - End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have alot of guitar software on Windows and alot in Logic Pro on Mac so I'll try to find a noise that'll be something like this. It's more sustain than reverb tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 This is what sounds good: Little bit chorus. Alot of reverb. Little bit overdrive. Sustain pedal. BUT if you want the best sound. Little bit reverb Little bit overdrive Little bit Chorus And tremolo picking. If you want to know how the second option sounds.. listen to Life in Technicolor II live version.
