Got an octave pedal recently - the Electro Harmonix Octave Multiplexer.
Have been trying it out with various Cigar Box Guitars.
It's good to take busking so I can add some bass without taking a bass instrument with me.
A few weeks ago I tried it with a Diddley Bow I made in 2011, with lots of distortion (from the Boss OS-2) and LOVED the sound!!
Played it at Hot Numbers open mic in Cambridge the other week. Got some video of it, but as it was so crowded my cameraman/husband had to film from behind the speakers, and it didn't really capture the feeling, so thought I'd do a video of it at home.
The song is called "Is Anybody there?" and a more basic version of it (no beat and pre Octave pedal!) is on the album "Playing (No Rules)" album which is available here bemuzic.bandcam...
For the beat I'm using a home made mic, made with a DM-13 mic capsule (cost about a fiver from Maplins) stuffed into an old Wasabi Peanut tin.
On the pedal board I've got, left to right - Boss RC-20XL Loop Station, Boss GE-7 Equaliser, Boss Overdrive/Distortion OS-2, electro-harmonix octave multiplexer, Boss chromatic tuner TU-3.
At the back is a Morley A B switch and an Eneloop pedal juice which powers it all.

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

ah right, I was wary of adding distortion to the vocals when the D Bow was also pretty distorted.Thought it might all merge in together...

@@bemuzic oh what a lovely advice. I'll do it. I already have a three strings cbg since a couples of weeks and I love it. The way is taking me to the minimalist, the esencial, a fretless diddle bow and then a loop station they seem to be my next expression elements. Good vibes for you 👍🏼😊

@SPARKMANXXX 11 лет назад

Nice and beautiful, it show that simple thinks, and few help from electronics, provide nice and funny music. I play CBG 4 strings then 3 strings so i will go for single string ;) Cheers

@robpinko5999 7 лет назад

Hey B, what is your recommended connection order of pedal or loop ?? I assume the guitar plugs into pedal (distortion etc) first, which connects to looper, which then connects to the amp. Correct ?? Luv ya work by the way !!

@scot4191 8 лет назад

Very Kooool!!! May I ask what type of pickup you are using ? I have a piezo and when I use distortion, I get feedback. Thanks

@bemuzic 8 лет назад

thanks, I'm using a pick up made by Bob Harrison (the one on the bottom right of this page) www.harrisonguitarpickups.com/pickups.html I've found rod peizos give less feedback than the disc ones. Also a pre amp can help a lot, like this one Shane Speal makes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2IP2rmn9SxE.html or if you don't want to make one, this is good value www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Behringer-ADI21-V-Tone-Acoustic-Preamp/6LW?origin=product-ads&PLA+Shop+-+Behringer&network=google&adgroup=1+-+Product+Level+-+Behringer&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=8564d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=111959022799&gclid=Cj0KEQjwztG8BRCJgseTvZLctr8BEiQAA_kBDxtHxJzLU5WU6Ab1EtgUTt8hVC9nvfdFLHYOQ_W90LwaAo7f8P8HAQ

How did you make the peanut can stomper? And how is it connected to the looper with the guitar chain? Thanks.

@bemuzic 10 лет назад

the peanut thing is a DM-13 mic capsule from Maplins. I got a bit of foam and cut it so it fitted tightly into the tin, with a hole in the centre for the mic capsule. It's just wired to a normal 1/4" jack which is fixed to the bottom of the tin. I keep changing my set up, but I think when I did this the peanut thing and my main mic both went into an AB switch which then went into the mic input of the loop pedal. I've mostly stopped using it now and just hit the main main mic to do a thump sound to loop...

@SONGSTICKS 9 лет назад

Hey again CBN Pal :0) Crackin sound coming from that Didley !! I just treated myself to the Vox VDL-1 Looping pedal, It doesn't have the storage capacity of the Boss RC20 but it does have two separate loops with infinite overdub and its own effects, but most cool is that you can apply effects to the loops after recorded and kick them in and out with the expression pedal. I highly recommend it and it's only £135 brand new !

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

@bemuzic 11 лет назад

thanks, the octave pedal plays a note an octave lower, which you can then blend with the original note. Made it sound deeper and bassier. Yes I agree the vocals weren't really loud enough, but they weren't recorded separately so I couldn't alter it..
