NAMM ‘10 – Source Audio Multiwave Distortion, Multiwave Bass Distortion & Classic Distortion Demos

February 272010

http://www.premierguitar.com PG’s Rebecca Dirks is On Location in Anaheim, CA, for the 2010 NAMM Show where she visits the Source Audio booth. In this segment, we get to see three of their newest effects pedals — the Multiwave Bass Distortion, Multiwave Distortiong (guitar) and the Classic Distortion.

The Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion features the same multi-band process that made the original Multiwave guitar pedal so popular, but this time, the Source Audio engineers adapted the process to compliment the unique frequency range of the bass guitar. Multi-band processing divides a signal into multiple bands then distorts them individually, giving musicians unprecedented levels of sound clarity and note articulation. Bassists can effectively combine complex chords and intervals with distorted tones—the Multiwave eliminates the mush and allows each note to ring clear and true.

Users have access to 23 distinct and modern sounding distortions that go far beyond traditional sounds. They range from normal, for a somewhat traditional distortion curve, to extreme foldback and octave settings for more aggressive and synth-like tones. Each distortion type is further customizable via the drive control, and separate clean and distorted level knobs. This advanced sound control alleviates the tendency for low-end reduction associated with most bass distortion units. The Multiwave Bass is also compatible with the Hot Hand® motion controller, adding even more expressive possibilities.

The Multiwave Distortion features 21 distinctive and modern effects not found on typical distortion pedals. Based on new proprietary algorithms, these range from basic overdrive sounds to aggressive synth-like, octave heavy and extreme foldback settings that go far beyond emulations of typical classic distortions.

The Multiwave Distortions unique Multi-Band mode divides the input signal into several frequency bands, which are distorted separately before being re-combined. Guitarists can play complex distorted chords and each note can be heard with absolute clarity. Several notes can feed back or drone simultaneously while a separate melody is played on top without the typical loss of volume associated with most of other types of distortion. The Multiwave Distortion is also compatible with the Hot Hand® motion sensor. When connected, Hot Hand controls the amount of gain.

The Soundblox Classic Distortion packs 4 tube amp and 8 fuzz box overdrive tones plus a Clean Boost/Tone mode into one compact and easy to use pedal. Unlike other products, which attempt to digitally clone, model or emulate vintage gear, the organic tones of the Soundblox Pro Classic Distortion are the result of a five-year listening study and iterative algorithm design process involving over 40 classic pedals and extensive artist evaluation. Plus, the Classic Distortion is Hot Hand® ready for even more expressive capabilities.

Vox Tonelab LE

February 182010

Vox Tonelab LE Multi Effect Floorboard

The Vox Tonelab LE includes a few improvements on its popular predecessor, the Tonelab SE. The first is a new five-mode amp/line out voiced specially for various applications, from playing into different amp types to direct recording to live performance through a PA system. The Line 2 amp/line setting features an all-new three band Master EQ section modeled after one of the most acclaimed live mixers ever manufactured. This allows you to EQ the sound of your Tonelab LE to suit any room or sound system. For greater flexibility in recording applications, Vox added a S/P DIF output. The acoustic simulator now offers the choice between three popular acoustic guitar types plus a resonator. Finally, the new Tonelab wouldnt be complete without some new effects! A metal distortion sound will satisfy your need for extreme gain. A slap reverb rounds out the ambient effects and a multi-tap chorus gives you independent chorus taps for each of the left, center and right outputs, producing stunning depth and spaciousness.

February 162010

I have tried using IE 7.0 and the problem still appears.

otherwise, it was fine when i play music in windows media player or open application.
I also noticed that, when i browse or play streaming music, the CPU Usage getting higher and higher it almost hit 100%.

i have installed the latest version of the audio driver,vista servicepack 1 but the problem still appear.

I was trying to figure it out but still don’t know what is the actual problem .I guess it was either the OS(vista) or audio.

Does anyone have ever undergo/suffer this problem?

Thanks for the help & response,

really appreciate it..

What is a good small HD camera / camcorder to use at Loud rock shows that won’t distort sound or video quality?

February 142010

I want a small camera to use at rock concerts that wont have horrible sound quality. I was considering the Flip HD, but not sure. HD would be prefered, but as long as the sound is good and not over clouded by bass.

I will recommend you
Samsung R10 Full HD Flash Camcorder (5x Optical, 2.7 inch LCD) – Black by Samsung
or
Toshiba Camileo H20 1080p HD Camcorder by Toshiba these are best to use at Loud rock shows that won’t distort sound or video quality with the extra vibrant as well as attractive features.
Such as,

- Full-HD recording mode (1920 x 1080p), 9MP still camera facility
- 2.7-inch wide aspect touch Screen LCD display
- Face detection, electronic image stabilisation
- Built-in software: ‘Samsung i Studio’ automatically installs on your computer when you connect your R10
- Intelli 8x zoom lens

As the smallest and lightest camcorder of its kind, the SAMSUNG R10 is capable of producing images of more than 1920 x 1080 60i. At a mere 229g, the R10 streamlined body contains an amazingly small capacity of 217cc. With the compact and lightweight R10, you can enjoy taking Full-HD videos and 12MB still images anywhere you go.

Ibanez Tube King Distortion Pedal

February 92010

http://www.ProGuitarShop.com – The Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion Pedal – A regal name in distortion pedals, the Tube King returns to the Ibanez lineup. While the name and purpose of the Ibanez distortion pedal is the same as the original ’90s models, this version of Tube King, the TK999HT, differs from its two predecessors in that it features internal high voltage DC circuitry instead of previous “starved plate” low voltage circuitry. Ibanez says that makes a significant difference.

With the TK999HT the 12AX7 gets normal DC high voltage, allowing total linear operation of the tube. It works just like a tube preamp because it effectively is one! The result is that the TK999HT distortion pedal makes any solid-state amp sound like a tube amp. The distortion is massive yet tight.

Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion Pedal Features:

* Genuine High Voltage Tube Distortion Pedal
* 12AX7 Tube
* 3-Band Active EQ plus Presence Switch for Exacting Tone Control
* VOID Control for Sharp Rhythmic Dynamics
* Rigid Zinc Die-cast Case
* 12-Volt AC Adaptor Included
* Controls:
* Drive
* Level
* Three Bands of Active EQ (LO/MID/HI)
* Presence Switch
* VOID (adjustable noise gate – can also used for “machine gun” riff effects favored by metal players.)
