Does anyone know the effect TIm uses on his solo in #41 on L@LC? If you've heard it you gotta know what I am talking about. I heard it was just a volume pedal, but I don't know,,,,,, I gotta get whatever that is, cool as shit!!

all of tims effects are listed at timreynolds.com. almost everything he does boils down to a volume pedal and the dd-5. but check out the site...

volume pedal and a wah-wah/leslie/flange, and so on, are completely different. A volume pedal just allows you to increase and decrease the volume, just a volume knob in a pedal form. Now, wah wah and such change the fequency (or something) of it, up and down, making the waAaAaAaAh sound. There a few styles of this effect, but they are basicly the same basic situation, but gives a different effect.

a wah pedal cuts the highs on one end and the lows on the other so you are allowing different frequecies of the guitar to come out. it works by shifting the peak frequency back and forth. it's like using a really harsh EQ and sliding it back and forth.

didn't read the other posts, but Tim relies greatly on a MoogerFooger Ring Modulator to produce his warm velvet-y tones...that coupled with the Boss DD-6 and his Volume Pedal make up #41...another thing that helps get "his sound" is of course his guitar...perhaps even his SansAmp Acoustic DI (direct box)...above all, his "style" is what makes his tone...you can have a shaddy ol guitar and just pluck the strings like he does and I think that is what makes up alot of his "sound"...

just some thoughts

exactly...And as the other guy said, the moogerfrooger really makes it mesh well (and sound a lot warmer)

Ok bear with me because I love Tim's sound and have been trying to re-create it and play with it to find something of my own.

Would the MoogerFooger be considered the heart of his tone? I know the Boss DD-6 gets the reverb and loops he uses. I've also noticed that in many instances the bass end of his tone really REALLY stands out. Is this a result of the volume pedal? I have a Martin HD-35 which has awesome tone on the low end but is nowhere near able to project the volume he gets on those bassier (sp?) notes.

As for the SansAmp: has anyone tried this out? It's my understanding that this little toy is great for preserving the acoustic "sound" when amping or running through a PA. Does anyone have any experience with this?

This is going to cost some money....

i'd say no. i get a great tone out of my sansamp and the EQ is very sensitive so you can really add a lot of bass to your tone with that. i think you all are wrong about the ring modulator. a ring modulator doesn't affect tone so much as it affects pitch.

A ring modulator is a simple device that can be used to create unusual sounds from an instruments output. It effectively takes two signals, one from the guitar and one from the setting, (each with some frequency), and produces a signal containing the sum and differences of those frequencies. These frequencies will typically be non-harmonic, so the ring modulator can create some very dissonant sounds. For this reason, ring modulation is not a widely used effect.

i think tim uses this a lot more for specific solos and not everytime like the DD5, volume, DL4, or DI box.

get one of those sansamp acoustic DI's and see what that does for you. i love mine. that should help.

then if you want, move on to the delay pedal. i am thinking of getting the DD6 (orDD5 if i can find a deal on Ebay) cause BOSS makes awesome stuff. i have their inline pedal tuner and it is really good and built like a tank.

Tim never played an HD-35. He has only a D-35. The D-35 and the D-28, compared to their HD models, they have more of a low end, and more of a bassy rythmic sound. That is how Timmy gets that sound in the begining.

Oh I know Tim played the D-35 (and the amazing D12-28) before switching to that dreadful Taylor this past tour. However, I'm not sure if I agree about the D-models being more bassy than the HD-models. Both models are exactly the same except the HD features scalloped bracing and a herringbone trim. Before I spent the load of cash on my HD-35 last year I played the hell out of everything in the Martin line and picked the HD-35 over the D-35 because I felt the HD-35 actually had a more pronounced low end.

Of course it really could boil down to personal interperation or to the constuction of each 35 itself since no guitar, depite being the same model, has exactly the same sound.
