Abby normal

[SLICKFASTER]

Any Nocturne users here roll with the Abby on full time? I’ve been using it as a lead bump, but man, if you set your amp with it on its hard to go back.
Is this too much of a good thing?
It’s got me neglecting my Ubangi and re thinking my sound.. amazingly articulate with break up upon the dig….
Dig?

 

[mandobandit]

Always on camp

 

[Snakum]

Solo boost for me. But I haven't really explored both always on, yet.

 

[Snakum]

Just tried it with the Les Paul running clean, gritty, and OD. Not bad. Will run thru it with the Strat and Gretsch tomorrow with all the different tones I need for our set.

 

[SLICKFASTER]

Game changer..

 

[calebaaron666]

I keep the preamp volume around noon, the bass cut almost all the way back, and the abby engaged at all times.
Always on.

 

[wildeman]

Hmmmm, well....

 

[Henry]

I didn't for a while but yep Abby is my new normal as of about 6 months ago.

 

[SLICKFASTER]

Just read in the BS301, there’s another preamp that hits when the tape warble mode is on… which I never use..

Maybe a new pedal Tavo with no foot switch. Just an always on circuit of both levels engaged. Call it "Igor's Hump"

What hump?

 

[GlenP]

About somewhere in the middle. And it’s pronounced “eye-gor”

Mid hump… ha!!

 

[Marv666]

Sometimes yeah .... i use it as boost but also to to give the tone a bit more Grit (feels more natural than my tubescreamer)

 

[mbkri]

Huh. Never occured to me but it seems like a good idea. Its the switch i use the least of the three because i seldom want that volume and drive shift mid song. I will give that a go.

Abby always on for my Brains. And the only time my Brains off is when I run a JR Barnyard preamp. I’ve said it before, my Brains like my favorite piece of gear.

I have a new Atomic Brain ordered. I was wondering how it would sound in front of El Pescadoro, which has the Barnyard preamp I think. They are kind of opposites, but there’s a lot of tonal options depending on what is switched on.

 

[nickurso]

Mine is always on

...and it changes sides.
"Blucher!"

So you might say the hump is a bit more dynamic!
