Glad to see a fellow Bodom fan. . I have an effect called a "Ring Mod" it sounds very similar to that. (it's on my ZOOM GFX-1)

ha theres plenty of bodom fans on here. but im looking for a single effect i dont really need a huge multi effect processor

I like that video but they focus too much on Alexi in it.
It could be some kind of midi but I don't think it is. A midi pickup would let your guitar sound like a violin/piano/sax

Yeah sounds like a ring Mod..one or two octaves up..a hamonizer..

Herman Li can't turn his off..I think the button is broke..

now Uli Jon Roth is a good player, he makes his guitar sound like a violin without any effects.

cool where can I get a ring mod or a harmonizer pedal?

[slayer32390]

found two pedals that might do it! any one have any experience with the boss OC-3 octave pedal? or would the PS-5 super shifter be more towards the sound that roopes getting? the super shifter says it can do harmonies and all sorts of crazy shit

They're playing with a backing track. The "violin" is just crappy midi, and is not Roope's guitar.

That doesn't sound like a ring modulator to me... those things always sound like crazy UFOs flying around.

Exactly.

I took a closer look at that vid a couple of times and noticed that the violin sound doesn't follow Roope's playing. It's the backing track.
You can also hear Roope, he's just more in the background.

[slayer32390]

oh well then nevermind. it looks like he follows it pretty close to me oh well maybe hes just doubling up the track then?

You can get that violin tone using a Roland VG88.

$700 thats funny. i can do without the violin tone lol i think id be better off just buying an electric violin and running it through my metal zone.....i wonder.......
