These are some of my favorite sounds from the M13 Stompbox Modeler on my electric cello. There are many more sounds available than I played on here, these are just my favorites.
cool to see classical players experimenting... FINALLY. some of this stuff has been around for a while, but for some reason string players never played around with guitar effects
Yes, it is. I was really torn on which brand I was going to buy, but I definitely feel like I made the right decision. They're really well made and playing on mine feels better than playing on my acoustic! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
That's an NS instrument, right? If it is, I know the feeling of playing on one, it's just absolutely amazing! The lower strings sound so deep, full, and clear on these instruments, especially with the amp. In general, they're just amazing! Nice job, and thanks for this :D
That was really cool. I love hearing effects used in an unorthodox way and it's something I do quite a bit on guitar. You should also check out some effects from Earthquaker Devices (Rainbow Machine or Arpanoid) or something like a wah...
Just ordered my daughter the WAV 4 string NS cello for middle school graduation and a small bass amp to travel ( we are going away for 4 weeks and she'd be lost without her cello) with and was looking around for some effects. So do you recommend bass pedals over the guitar ones? I'm clueless...any help greatly appreciated!!!!! I have a few weeks to get it all together. 😀
Hey Laura, sorry I spaced on this a bit. School is kicking my ass currently, but I'm totally in agreement. I picked the electric to get a different sound. I'm very happy with my choice, hope your's is treating you equally well!
@Lauren K Jones it’s been 6 years but I prefer Mesa Boogie (albeit through an IPad simulation) with a Mark iii, IV, or the Dual Rectifier. The distortion effects can really kick metal in a sensitive area.
I play through a Mesa Boogie M6 Carbine amp with a Ampeg bass cab. I would definitely recommend Mesa Boogie for the electric cello. It gives it a rich sound.
Do you like the 6 string model vs 5 or 4? I noticed you're up on the A string when you have an E string that would be in the same range and was wondering if you end up enjoying your E string =D
Walfred Zorrilla I've tried using guitar amps before and they really can't handle the bass. I find they rattle a lot and they really just don't sound very good. I'm using the Line 6 M13 Stombox Modeler pedal.
ur awesome, im about to purchase one of these model... would you recommend the CR 4 string version? and have u tried the SVC 210 from yamaha? this is the ones available here and i cant even try them..also im very happy to know that u like mesa boogie cauz i actualy got a Mark V.. i hope itll sound awesome :P
Martin Bergeron Thank you! I haven't tried the 4-string version, but I will say that I really like the set up of this cello. The fingerboard, bridge, etc are well done and they feel like my acoustic (actually, even better). Everything is well shaped and I haven't run into any strange flaws or idiosyncrasies. I'd imagine that the 4-string version is the same way. I have not tried the Yamaha cellos, but I've had friends that had them. They never seemed to like them as much as their acoustics, but that's all I really know about those. I didn't get to try this one before I bought it either. I had to have it shipped in. I love the way the Mesa Boogie sounds with it. The bass is really nice especially in person. Good luck with your new instrument!
thx for the answer, i finally got the CR 4 :P its awesome its my third day learning cello... I think it sound awesome also but i need to get that technique up a bit :P
delays are ok....but don't try to play Delius cello concerto with the m13 PLEASE....DELAYS and reverbs are nice...I don't like the rest of the fx...(as a cello and bass player) pse try AER amps for electro cellos...are a DREAM!
