Stone's You Are distortion

edited September 2008 in Musicians and Gearheads
It was talked about on this board (and I can't remember the thread) that Stone changed from the Tech 21 Sansamp classic to something else in terms of distortion of the "You Are" effect. Does anyone remember what it was?

    I actually really like Mike's sound on that song...especially on the Live in Showbox DVD!

    he's got a setting on his line 6 dl-4 delay labeled as "You Are" specifically for his delay effects on the song, but of course he'll use that delay wherever else he wants it (black solo, etc.)

    Wait, you all play "You Are"? Man, that's awesome! What kind of delay effect does "Stone" use? And what kind of effects do all your guys use on that song?

    Stone's Effects (me): the delay/reverb effect is all built into the korg electribe, I use a sansamp (original, not the reissue/classic), which I still find to be a great sound, the sansamp that stone used to use was part of jeff's rig back in the day. I'll probably grab a fulltone distortion pro and check out the difference but I'm pretty happy with the '03 sounding You Are from PJ, although in '05 the sound was really thick on the delay reverb which had some help from the DI into the board.

    Jeffs Effects: Pretty much some chorus goes through his signal.
    Our Jeff (his name is Jim) pretty much does the same thing running a chorus through his signal


    Mike: DL-4, and I believe he used either the blues driver or greedtone in 03 through the trentino. Now I think he just rocks the Savage for the dirty and grit.
    Our Mike (Rob): Rocks the DL-4, uses some wah during the solo (535Q on the bass setting), and sends it through a marshall DSL
    Hope that helps.

    a little outdated, but:

    http://a265.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/30/l_88e0aaf517dc1432076cdd435eb0c6d8.jpg

    I got rid of the soulbender for the fulltone ultimate octave, then fed that through the phase 90, then to the univibe.

    I'm using a Wilson Effects Rippah Q Wah pedal http://www.wilsoneffects.com.
    I HIGHLY recommend that pedal.

    Signal Chain:

    Guitar ---> Zvex Fuzz Probe --> Boss TU2 --> Wilson Rippah Q Wah --> Keeley TS9DX --> Fulltone Ultimate Octave --> MXR Phase 90 --> Dunlop Univibe (with foot controller)--> TS9 --> Dan Echo --> Akai Headrush -->

    A/B box -->
    A) ---> ABY Box:
    A: ---> Rocktron Banshee --> SM58 --> Soundboard
    B: ---> Bogner Shiva 1x12 or Marshall TSL100
    B) ---> Sansamp --> Korg Electribe ---> Soundboard

    Seems a little complicated but its really not.

    I have actually hooked the Korg onto a small speaker stand using velcro, along with the sansamp on the bottom for both easy transport, connection and free-standing mode!

    The Distortion in You Are is actually a fuzz Fender Blender pedal. It's the same one Mike uses on "Nothing Has It Seems". Billy Corgan uses one and you can really hear it well on "Girl Named Sandoz" I used to own one before I traded it for a Fulltone Ultimate Octave. Sweet pedal!

    Maybe in the studio, but definately not live. The Fender Blender hasn't been in his rig since 2000 in a live setting.

    No it's not. I have a flender, too. On the studio, it was still a Sansamp. Check http://www.giventowail.com

    he was talking about mike's pedal.

    however stone did not use a sansamp on the studio version.

    neither did matt.

    the sansamp is just for distortion....the effect is created by the rhythmic pattern from the drum machine. And I'm about 90% certain that on the studio version, the korg electribe was NOT what Matt used to record the pattern.

    As for Mike's solo. Only Mike knows what he used. But in a live setting, he does not use the blender, and the korg electribe is used for the ease of transposing the song in a live setting.

    All right I knew the Sansamp was just distortion and a rhythm machine was used for the delayed stutter (set by Matt). Mike uses an MM4 and the BD2/TS-9 for the solos live.
