  • Boss Harmonist mini review and clip

    Ok. I recorded the little harmonized part on 'Is this love' from Whitesnake twice. love1 is with the pedal AFTER my XT Live: love2 is guitar-->harmonist pedal-->Xt Live. Then the PC.

    I did split both tracks into stereo, and did them without any reverb - I added the reverb with software, but it was the same amount to both tracks.

    My opinion? The thing tracks better when you have it first, but when you do, distortion will make it sound like it's the same guitar playing the harmonies - you get crosstalk.

    When you have it AFTER the distortion, it sounds better but the tracking isn't as good. I haven't plugged it into my Vetta yet - I'll likely take one half of my fx loop (it's true stereo - if you run two amps, each amp can have it's own loop) and run the harmonist, and put all the effects post fx loop. You can also patch in the effects loop series, parallel, determine where in the path it goes, etc... I think it's going to work out pretty good. I just need to get my lazy ass downstairs and bring my Vetta up to the guitar room and hook the damned thing up. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

      Thanks man. It doesn't sound as good isolated, but I think for live use it will help with the harmony bits here and there.

          The first one sounds miles better. I can hear what you mean by 'sounds as if it's one guitar playing the harmony', but it's not really bothering.
          You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.
