Re: Nels Cline gain sounds? by BurgundyMist » Wed Jul 07, 2010 11:24 pm, Post In the musical world beyond jazz, which most of us also cover in one form or another, this is shaping up to be Annus Kanyebilis, with his new-school media strategy a proven success and his recorded opus landing rave upon rave. What are some of the effects due to slew rate limitations? There was nothing perfunctory or contrived, though, about Ten, the album released this year by Moran’s Bandwagon, or Never Stop, the one put out by Iverson with the Bad Plus (above). "Floratone II," Jenny Scheinman's "Mischief & Mayhem". (I’m using the Royal We, in case there was any doubt.) The new issue of JazzTimes is out, with my cover story on Nels Cline, the formidable lead guitarist in Wilco and avant-garde jazz assassin. Guitarists praised the clear, uncolored tone of the boosted signal. Consumers: It's worth the wait to get one. Thinking about how West conquered every room he entered this year, I drew the only parallel that seemed really apt: to post-Bitches Miles Davis, another frequently bedeviled African-American sound-sculptor drawn to aggressive reinvention, unbridled ego and rococo indulgence. Many guitarists were either happily using digital rack units or just starting to realize that maybe those old “stomp boxes” that we replaced in favor of our rack units were actually pretty awesome. Remember Bitches Brew? Currency: When I was playing in highly active bands, I just used what sounded good and was reliable on stage and on tour... because I knew a there was a ton of fancy shit in the studio. Fast forward to 2012 when Finnegan released a new, contract-made version of the Centaur called the Klon KTR Overdrive.
The Centaur will take care of it. Larger concepts? The fingers/player thing is true and I agree at 100%.. Yep - if you read his little "amp du jour" article, you would find that this is certainly true. "When Julian and I started playing together it kicked my ass hard," Cline told JazzTimes around the time of Room's release.

After manufacture was discontinued, original units have been spotted exceeding $5000.00 USD[10] and were considered rare collector's items. Nate, you led with the seeming lack of narrative to this year’s jazz developments, but perhaps it’s the absence of story that is the story. Still other players love the dirt created by the Centaur.
(I refer you to the aforementioned, Thinking about how West conquered every room he entered this year, I drew the only parallel that seemed really apt: to post-, But jazzfolk often complain about how their music gets left out of the mainstream conversation. KLON! From this popular vernacular, with its dense vocabulary, comes the qualifier beauseigne, meaning “poor little one”, a term that expresses compassion and connotes pity. “Now I am quietly waiting for/ the catastrophe of my personality/ to seem beautiful again.”- Frank O'Hara.
The circuit boards of Centaurs are notably "gooped", or covered with black epoxy resin in order to make it harder for imitators to replicate it. According to Finnegan, the second pot “optimizes the circuit’s overall tonal response for whatever the main gain stage is generating in the way of level and distortion.”, To get a better handle on the technical aspects of the Centaur, I decided to talk to “Analog Mike” Piera. I don’t think any guitarist is completely indifferent to the gear that they use.

No more worries in the world of ‘amp du jour’ about overdrive tone. What did I ever do without it?". In Saint-Etienne, in the south-east of France, one can still hear gaga, an ancestral tongue originating from the Franco-Provençal language. (Jazz Journalists Association president Howard Mandel, our moderator, voiced his awareness that those two things are probably related.)

Pedal In both cases you heard the cumulative weight and wisdom of the last 10 years, and a clear sense of intelligent artists taking the measure of their art. I’m wondering how you weigh in on that debate now, and how everyone here handles it, as the site has become an increasingly interesting locus for conversation, debate, and sharing of thoughts, videos, et cetera. He has this to say about the Centaur, “It differs from most overdrives in the way the gain pot is also used to mix in more clean signal, and it was one of the first pedals to use a charge pump to run chips at higher voltages for more internal headroom.”. If the timing had worked differently, I suspect he might have put in a cameo on, Speaking of reaching, I believe this exhausts the air in the room, for now. Pedal But enough rambling on about the Klon, let’s talk about some of the Best Transparent Overdrive Pedals you can still get your hands on. Can’t think of better company to be huddling around a virtual Yule log with.

My Top 10 will be posted later this week, so for now I’m going to change the subject slightly.

Thanks for joining me -- this should be fun. Tickets are $33 in advance, $38 day of show (including all service charges). (I refer you to the aforementioned Rollins and Haynes.) Amp Nels uses a Schroeder DB7, designed and built for him by Tim Schroeder plugged into a Marshall 4x12 cabinet that was once matched with a JTM45 reissue.
At this point you’ve probably sent in your ballots and compiled your lists, and it’ll be fascinating (to some of us, at least) to see where consensus forms. Nels Cline of Wilco once said, describing his Klon "...It's an amp in a box. - Bertrand Russell, http://funksheet.blogspot.com/2009/08/n ... -gear.html.

It has three controls – gain, treble, and output.
(Stay with me here, people.) Or a season of triumph, as we observed the endless vitality of Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and Roy Haynes? However, since the original KLON Centaur had a “gooped” circuit board, meaning it was coated in epoxy to keep others from reverse-engineering it, it took a while for the circuit to be analyzed. But consider: Geri Allen, Vijay Iyer, Benôit Delbecq and Matthew Shipp each released a provocative solo disc. Beyond simply bringing the avant-gardist du jour, ANW’s programming has gotten increasingly inventive, especially via its Composer’s Portraits series, which early this year saw Ken Vandermark, Trevor Dunn and Karl Berger all presenting unique Don Cherry-inspired programs.
Take it in any direction you like, good sir, but just answer me this: was the Nels Cline Dirty Baby premiere as unmissable as it seemed?
It will be OK. (We jazzbos are, There was nothing perfunctory or contrived, though, about, A similar sense of purpose lit up several other commemorative moments this year.

I never said I was opposed to all of this, by the way. by Superfuzz » Mon Jul 26, 2010 2:33 pm, Post
Introduced in 1994, it was designed and hand-built by Bill Finnegan. I've had this thing for years now. Sure, all of these guitarists have what I would consider to be great tone. As its members will eagerly point out, the provocatively-named Tarbaby is meant to provoke just such a discussion, one involving tradition, swing and race that pianist Orrin Evans delights in provoking. Or perhaps the salient question is: who hasn’t heard it that should? by OffYourFace » Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:08 am, Post Look at how much steam can still be generated by Bitches Brew, all these years later. Here I thought I’d add a few things that didn’t make it
Mary Halvorson snagged the first slot on my list this year with Saturn Sings, a prime example of a new generation of jazz that has the lessons of rock burned into its brains, revealing itself through an emergent pop sensibility in compositions, band interaction, a certain aggressiveness, without having to strive consciously for so-called “fusion.”.
