IM still looking for that cloud guitar sound, u know that unique kinda distortion, examples of that sound R like that small club Gig or listen to the Lovesexy album, if its a effect please let me know what effect it is?

I've read that it's a guitar orchestra pedal. I have no idea what make and model it is though.

He used it a lot around 1988 and 1989. I love that sound too.

let me search this pedal then,,,

no i cant find this pedal

If you play with the front pick-up selected through a decent distortion pedal, maybe adding a bit of delay and compression for good measure, then surely you wouldn't be a million miles away from that sound would you?

i know what ur saying, but anythings posiable,im not gonna give up, like like that effect or sound so bad, someone here must know something1:)

Well babar 141, if it's any help, in GP article it says that Prince's floor effects are: (In this order) A Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion, Boss VB-2 Vibrato, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, Boss FL-2 Flanger, Boss OC-2 Octave, Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, CryBaby Wah, Roland EV-5 (which controls a rack mounted whammy effect) and a Dunlop Rotovibe. It then continues into a bunch of rack mounted effects probably way beyond most of our budgets and space restrictions! Those are the stomp boxes anyway. Hope this helps.

Oh no, dont give up man - I didnt mean that...but like I said...I think u may have 2 accept getting as close 2 that sound as your goal. I did have a good tech/spec kinda article from an old music mag once...but not anymore...it talked all about this chit.

U thought of maybe writing Takumi c/o the Park? Just a thought...

Good luck!

if there was a cantact for him id ask him, this time im gonna ask him at the sound check if there is show again! if u know somthing even comes close still let me know...

i have this set up 2, but still no, maybe i neeed the guitar, might have somthing 2 do with the pick ups and wood!! what u think?

Hmmm. Have you tried a thinner pick? I've noticed using one can make certain thing sound more princely...

babar141 said:

yeah i tried that, still not, keep it commin...

You have this entire set-up and are running it in this order? I find it really hard to believe that you can't get the sound with this many effects.

While guitars all sound different, with this many effects it seems like with tweaking all of the knobs you could sound like anybody you want.

The next obvious question to me is, why are you trying to sound like anybody?

yeah sure But i almost have the set-up- like the pedals not amps i got a peavey amp! and it takes years to tweek the knobs...if u know the setting then let me know! and i love that sound i gatta have it
