year4545 settings - post them here!
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 9:54 pm
i realize that the year4545 (or 2525 if you have one) is not the most intuitive pedal... this thread is for me to post recommended settings, as well as for users to post ones they like --- i would love to see them!
to decipher my organization --
the ... in green means that there are closely related/evolving sounds within 50% of the knob's travel.
if there is not a descriptor under a switch, then it is in the center position.
here are my first 5:
1 - a good velcro-ey fuzz starting point. lowering the instrument's volume should give less compression and more bass.
2 - similar in some ways to the first, although heavier and more sputtery.
3 - super compressed swell-like attack fuzz which fades in after the initial signal hits the pedal. lower instrument volumes produce weird intermodulation artifacts.
4 - this is an excellent example of how the year4545 acts like a resonant filter/fuzz. turning x will sweep the filter, while turning z determines how much fuzz vs filter-sound you hear. all the way clockwise will produce torn speaker sounds...
5 - this is a neat oscillation/sustain setting where lots of harmonics jump out.
i'll post some video clips for these when i can record them!
