Pitchblack ftw. Let NYC feel the might of the zvex ?

MIKA-the-better-one

That Zvex tears up, I have it for super velcro, and its loud through both amps.

Photos I know are happening, video, I believe is also happening. We are sharing a Hospitality tent with Diff Mckegan so maybe I can snap myself a photo op for any GnG fans out there.

Thanks, some can testify it used to have way more on it, but thats all I use live, thats all I need. I see loads of guitarists with 3 reverbs and 4 delays, but and it just intimidates me.

My cat is my Bad Cat Black Cat

You cleverly and ironically named your cat after a South African brand of peanut butter? ?

When are you guys leaving? Did the van work out?

FruitarGeek

And Congrats on the show, sounds like you guys are going places

Think it would be named after Bad Cat amps and maybe at a stretch Black Cat pedals. ?

Congrats on the gig Mika. Oh and nice gear. You guys gonna take some nice pics of the gig for us Africans?

MIKA-the-better-one

Thanks MrT for the link, I started it about a year ago.

Yeah the van worked out and we went from $500 raised to 855 total including private donations etc.

A van is great but my guitar stuff alone takes up WAy to much space ? more so than anyone else.

Bad Cat amps and the black cat model....

FruitarGeek

Mika. Very cool stuff.

Listened to all 3 tracks. I can hear some African influence. Love how its mixed with that Indie feel. If ever I go to the states, I will be sure to check you out

NICE RIG! whats the Carbon Copy like? MR T. got me to demo it and I was pretty darn impressed.

I am looking for something that makes a more smooth / round warm delay. (my best way to describe the sound in my head ?) Actually really like the limp bizkit delay on choc starfish album. ( I know he uses digital delays but my Nova Delay just sounds thin to me?)

How do you manage live with no tap tempo?

+100 street cred points if you do that. I met him and Matt Sorum years ago and they are both great guys.

MIKA-the-better-one

I love the CC, I actually had one sold it and then hated eveything thing else so got one again. It is one of the smoother delays I have heard, epecially with the oscillation.

Live I dont use tap tempo, first because my delays are set very short so not set up for ambient swells etc. And also I am not a big fan of tapping it to the song. When I finish this new ep, I will ink it up and you can hear how I use delay rather to just be ridiculous

I will update pics as I get back, try to snap some of Times square, I know there are some other guys snapping photos so should have a few nice ones.

Psean

Ja, congrats on the show. What are the pedals to the left of the delay?

MIKA-the-better-one

Earthquaker devices Ghost Echo (a cool reverb echo)

Radial Big shot, which is my ABY splitter (which is pretty nice avoiding ground loops etc.

IceCreamMan
