Hi kawan2

Aku nak tanya pasal distortion lah ... (aku suka bunyik Joe satriani / steve vai)

Apa beza tubed dan non tube? sebab kat pasaran sekarang ni ada non tubed macam boss , digitech , dod dan ntah hapa2 lagi.

macam tubed : tonebone , hughes kettner , marshal, vox dan lain2.

memandangkan harga tubed mmg mahal giler , tapi in term kepuasan hati , flexibility tu camana ya? Adakah tubed ni boleh dapat semua bunyik yang kita nak?

sbg reference : aku guna gitar macam ibanez rg tu .. dan solid state amp.

terima kasih ya untuk sebarang luahan Very Happy

Mengikut contoh yg diberi aku confuse sikit,

tube amp vs solid state amp atau Tube Distortion vs nontube distortion?

pada asalnya, semua amp menggunakan vacum tube. Tapi vacum tube ni kelemahannya ialah dia fragile dan perlukan maintainance, perlu warmup dan mengeluarkan haba.

Jadi orang cari jalan untuk replace tube dan terciptalah transistor. Transistor cuba utk tiru kerja2 tube. Maka terhasillah amp solid state yg mengantikan tube dgn transistor. Kos menjadi jauh lebih murah.

Tapi kenapa tube masih wujud sampai sekarang? jawapannya sebab belum ada lagi transistor yg betul2 sounds like tube.

Amp tube, bunyinya wide dan pergi jauh manakala solid state bunyi dia lulrus dan tak jauh.

tube or nontube bagi aku tak penting sangat. kalau puas hati dengan sound yang kita dapat dari amp/pedal yang kita beli tu kire ok la. so far aku puas hati dengan barang2 nontube aku.

Hmmm....
Mmg beza tube distortion dgn solid state distortion. X susah nak bezakan actually. If u look for opinion from ppl, 1st skali dorang akan ckp psal 'warmth' dr tube dist. Immediately blh beza sound dia, sbb s.s dist slalunye sterile sikit, x warm la. Lg 1 elemen tube dist ni sound dia x compress sgt. Some amps, esp those yg ade reverb, biler combine dgn dist sound dia breathy and lembut, so dia ade feel organic skit. Elemen2 ni blh dikatakan opposite la dgn s.s dist...

U have to know that pedal2 mcm Boss, Digitech, manufacturer buat pedal2 dist ni based on amp dist.Cth mcm Ibanez Tube Screamer, Boss SD-1 mmg bunyi dia mcm tube overdrive, dorang emulate sound tu dgn chip & transistor. Tp blh debate la kalo sound dia mcm tube ke x, ikut taste org...

Tube amp mmg byk beza, btw 1 brand dgn brand lain. Generally sound Marshall slalunye tight dekat mid range, sprongy, smooth gain. Berbeza dgn Mesa, yg slalunye bouncy, high gain, loose high end dgn boomy. Amp2 lain pon byk sound2 tersendiri, ikut manufacturer. Ni x campur dgn componen yg dorang pakai, type of tubes, circuitry, etc. So in a way there r very few tube amps yg blh buat mcm2 sound dlm 1 package. Sbb tu la biler companies like Line 6 introduce modelling tech, product dorang laku, sbb dia feature byk sound amp dlm 1 package. Tp sound tube mmg sedap, even kalo amp tu blh buat 1 sound je, mmg puas hati la...

Hope that helps...

Cheers... Cool

Oh ye ... sorry kawan2 ...
topik ni actually fokus pada pedal .. bukan amplifier (sebab amplifier tube mahal Very Happy )

ttg transistorized distortion , dah macam2 aku guna .. so far bagus actually .. cuma aku tak pernah merasa tubed pedal. kalau tubed pedal tu , pempaham jelah ... mahal gile .... tapi bila aku tgk circuit dia .,, macam boleh buat sendiri ... (aku ada experience dalam elektronik , cuma bila membabitkan sound , aku lemah dalam noise).

kekadang hobi gitar ni buat hilang kawalan ,.. lepas try itu , nak ini .. pas tu try lain ... habis duit .. hehe

anyway , thanks for the comments!! nak tambah information Smile

Hehehhehe,
Mai sini abea pedal tolong jawabnya.

Asal asal pedal ne(tak termasuk muliti effect yaaa.) adalah utk bagi future utk amp amp guitar. Contohnya ader amplifier tak der on board dist or od or modul effect.

Maybe utk topic ne aku terangkan yang aku faham dari segi pedal distortion dan OD. Kalo dikira walo cam mana best pun pedal tapi ampnya tahap cipan akan tak jadi cerita cerita menarik. Pedal pedal macam TS or OD biasanya ditugaskan utk boost amplier utk provide lebih gain or volume before masuk preamp section.

Ada beza signal yang dah boost atau raw signal[straight dari pickup]. Signal yang dah di boost volume or gain bila ia masuk kat dalam preamp akan menyebabkan quality overdrive or distortion dari satu amp akan di proses lebih mantap. Biasanya GAIN stage or DISTORTION stage dalam preamp lebih suka signal yang kuat, lebih gain, lebih boost. bayangkan kalo kita letak volume guitar separuh or suku dan straight to guitar amp akan menyebabkan distortion quality tak bagus. problem cam Terutamanya diorang yang suka high gain setting seperti main metal dan rock.

Beza transistor pedal punya distortion khas nya berbanding tube adalah, transistor pedal ne boleh proses frequency lebih lebar berbanding tube tapi tak balance antara antara harmonic ovtave. Tube ne kecik sikit range frequency Tapi very smart dan harmonic bagi setiap ovtave lebih sweet. Jika kita petik satu tali pada note A, sebenarnya ada note note lain maybe berbunyi terutamanya ovtave bagi setiap note A atau Fifth note dia dan sebagainya. Camporan dari note A dan ovtave ovtave dia ne lah yang menyebabkan bunyi sedap. Oleh tu sesiapa yang boleh proses or boost dengan baik harmonic harmonic ne akan menyebab bunyi lebih sweet. both tube and transistor boleh boost ini. Tube lebih kecik range tapi sweet. transistor lebih lebar range frequency tapi harsh dan tak smart dalam boosting ovtave harmonic lain.

Tapi, transistor type pedal selalunya menghasilkan bunyi harsh, harsh ne adalah frequency tinggi yang tak diperlukan seperti hizzzz, ziiizzzz, fizzzz dan sebagainya. terutama nya bila knob lebih dari 3/4. Ini berlaku sebab transistor biasanya amplife semua frequency secara FLAT dan menyebab frequency tinggi dan noise yang tak perlu turut sama di amplife. Tube type distortion dan OD adalah lebih smooth, sweet dengan good harmonic. package memang bagus, tapi utk jenis music frequency melampau seperti buat squel tajam range samapi lebih 20khz tube jadi kurang berkesan.

Bisanya, ader pedal yang pakai tube sebenarnya tak guna tube pun utk distortion dia. Still guna transistor juga tapi signal tu then akan melalui satu fasa tube drive dipanggil tube reactor tube enegizer. Tube reactor yang diletakan selepas distortion or drive stage ne macam filter supaya bunyi harsh dari transistor akan ilang oleh tube dan tinggal hanya good sweet frequency. Dan setakat satu tube utk satu pedal sebanrnya tak begitu effectif nak proses kesekuruhan frequency. Lain la amplifier all tube yang pakai samapai 3 4 tube. Radial punya preamp pun adalah JET transestor then ada valve/raactor selepastu utk filter sambil bagi sweet dan kurangkan harsh.

Sebenarnya, memang ada sangkut paut pedal dan amp. Kengkadang pedal transistor pun boleh jadi sedap pada amp amp tertentu. Dan ada juaga tube pedal yang hanya sesuai utk ke solid state amp.

Kalo korang biasa mod pedal. diod 1n34a pada clipping stage transistor pedal biasanya akan bagi tube feel punya sweet. Utk main kat solid amp bunyi akan sedikit ada feel tube. tapi bila pedal ne di main dengan tube amp, pedal dengan diod 1n34a ne bunyi kurenggg.


Aku terang dari segi distortion n od drive. pasal effect lain aku belom pasti.

Oiiii, kengkawan kalo ader salah tolong betulkan.
terutamanaya izzi custom pedal kita.
Dan Dufresne, prof tube kita.


P/s. semalam aku mod Mega distortion MD-2... ampang siot bunyi dia... heavy bottom dis tapi ketat[macam seluar sey]. pas ne aku tak pijak dah MT-2 keeley gamaknya.

kalau ko ada knowledge electronic, baik ko jumpa aku.. sebab aku jahil elektronik tapi aku boleh buat pedal sikit2. Aku ada idea jugak utk buat tube pedal distortion. Baru2 ni aku try transfer Mesa Boogie punya amp circuit, aku jadikan pedal tapi menggunakan 9v jer.. Hasilnya tak menjadi .. sound agak trebbly tp aku rasa aku boleh fine tune cuma tak ada masa dan terlalu remeh dan leceh la. Aku kena cari satu board yg boelh pasang dan cabut litar dlm satu sec je tanpa perlu melibatkan solder. Ada ker?

kalau ko berminat nak buat pedal,

ko pergi ke www.stompboxes.com .. masuk dlm forum dia. situ pusat DIY kat US tp member2 dari negara lain pun ramai mcm rusia, europe, australia dan china.

Untuk schematic pedal2, boleh download kat www.tonepad.com.

hahaha ... sedih hati ... muhehehe ... tapi mmg betul pun ...

jadinya , tubed distortion akan buat bunyi tu jadi sweet ya.. aku tak pernah try sampai 2 drive. usually kalau goreng (tiung tiung tiung) dan riffs (jeng jeng jeng) aku depends pada satu drive sahaja. sometimes ada lack sikit.

daripada pemahaman aku ttg ini , tetiap distortion ada uniknye yeh? hmmm...

aku nak cari tone lemak berkrim macam joe satriani . aku macam tak convince dengan ds1 walaupun aku dah tgk dlm guitargeek.

aku buka threat ni pasal nak tanya , adakah setelah memakai tube drives akan buat kita puas hati? atau korang ada story yang best2 ke ..

sorry yeh banyak demand lak ... nak tanya experience je ... Very Happy . tapi tubed distortion mmg mahal giller laaa... aku ingat nak beli satu untuk personal collection.

IZZI - Aku pernah dapat circuit tubed distortion lama tahun 80an punya. Nampak simple juga. Aku ada tanya jalan pasar. 12ax7 tu jual rm28 . tapi parts2 lain aku tak sure. kalau circuit tu aku boleh built. cuma bab transformer tu aku lemah sikit.
Ttg board yang boleh cabut senang tu kene pakai "breadboard". Dia warna putih / 4segi , ada lubang2 kecik.

Oh, nak tau psal tube dist pedal? I dont have much experience in those la, but blh2 la citer sket2...

Hughes & Kettner Tubeman, ade 3 org mmbr aku pakai, Meng (Love Me Butch) pon ade 1, dia pakai gak. Dlm byk2 tube dist pedals, bg aku ni the best la, blh create almost any drive u want. Esp the new version, more versatile from the older models. Tp yg baru tu actually pakai utk recording je, psal output dia tulis mixer (direct recording). But mmbr aku pakai live pon power gak, as long as tau tweak eq on the amp, or pakai thru line in/fx loop amp. Slack nyer bende ni mahal, same harge GT-8. So kalo jual kat sini pon susah nak laku. But still, gempak giler...

No experience with Tonebone, so x blh nak comment. But anything it's more less capable mcm Tubeman gak la...

Ibanez Tube King, best giler. Bising sket, even with extra noise gate, but sedap tone dia. Unfortunately dah discontinued, x tau apsal, even though dia murah compare dgn lain...

Mesa Boogie V-Twin, if u cant afford a Recto amp, pedal ni pon kira ok la, dah dekat sound dia. Sound dia more focus to amp Rectifier, bkn amp2 lain...

Hope that helps...

Cheers... Cool

Yup, a little known fact actually. Kebykkan tube dist pedal sounds better dgn s.s amp, mungkin sbb most of 'em act as preamp. But bcuz of that jugak pedal s.s sounds much better dgn tube amp. Byk player yg suka pakai booster to push the tubes on tube amps, like Zakk Wylde. Ade technical reason dia, tp reason yg senang nak paham, tube pedals ade tone dia yg kalo pakai dgn tube amp, 'kacau sket' la. So general rule of thumb dia, tube pedals dgn s.s amps, pedal biase dgn tube amp...

Jgn percaya sgt diagram tu, sbb suma tu eye witness accounts. Kalo dorang x nampak betul2, it may not be correct. Tone Vai dgn Satch mmg byk pakai DS-1, tp dorang pon switch pakai drive on their amps jugak. & ke igt byk lg combination lain yg affect tone dorang...

Kalo pakai tube drive puas hati?
Mane blh puas hati, x kan puas hatinyer. Sbb tu byk org beli, jual, trade mcm2 bende nak dpt the right tone. Bkn org2 biase je, pro touring guitarist pon mcm tu gak. The quest for the right tone is nonstop. Yg penting kena tau what u want, & keep trying stuff...

Cheers... Cool

Yea, aku stuju. base dari exprience aku utk mod pedal pun berbeza caranya utk dapatkan yang terbaik utk solid amp or all tube amplifier. Tapi kalo pedal di mod utk lebih tube for sure dia paling sesuai utk SS. DS-1 n TS memang teman sejati tube amp.

Tapi aku syorkan kalo nak pakai pedal ne, start la dari pedal biasa dulu. bila kita dah tau beza caractor antara pedal ne baru kita akan lebih faham utk pakai pedal pedal tube ne.

Antara pedal yang aku rasa best adalah DS-2[aku prefer ne berbanding DS-1],TS9,rat,muff n gov nor. Aku pun tak biasa mai pedal high end macam fulltone. Tapi pedal analag ne pun ada kasta dia juga. Biasa yang preamp macam sanamp or AMT yang pakai transistor FET utk emulate tube akan lebih mahal harganya. Dan quality distortion dia lebih bagus tapi tak semua amplifier boleh terima bunyi diorang. behringer ada copy sanamp.

Radial, sebenarnya distortion radial ne pakai clipping diod biasa jer sama macam pedal boss,dod dan sebagainya. Tapi Gain stage, radial guna tube driver. Tube driver ne adalah satu litar yang fungsi macam drive stage dan guna satu tube, dia bagi color frequency supaya lebih tubey, sweet, smooth dan filter bad harsh high frequency.

Kalo korang jumpa pedal tube yang nama dia tube driver or preamp. Ia bukan overdrive or distortion tapi lebih kepada utk bagi color ala tube, ini adalah satu yang baguss. boleh diselitkan dalam effect chain lepas or sebelom distortion ikut citarasa.

guys,

best la article ni..which one you prefer?...

1) tube pre amp overdrive
a) with 2 tubes
12ax7 both or mixed with 12at7
b) single tube
12ax7 or 12at7
c) tone definition for 12ax7 and 12at7
d) rectifier sag tone (gz34) tanya kat izzi, he tried mine...12at7 mixed with 12ax7 (groove campor sovtek)
2) tube overdrive
a) real analog circuirtry
b) rojak with 101
3) analog overdrive with opamp
4) analog overdrive w/o opamp
5) atau pure 101

aku mau cari pedal tweed ptp type cap ikan. a guy i met secara accident have this menatang but i forgot the name..
bagi aku semua pedal ada character dia sendiri, tone yang kat telinga ko yang decide...aku prefer open cut dgn analog character yang boleh boost some mid, aku mixed dengan drive aku yg ada rectifier sag tone..tak silap aku ada company dah buat ni, mesa engineering ke namanya...

aku setup simple

1) tone jari ko (itu playing preference ya, jangan toneless sudah le..)
2) type of guitar and pickups (aku mamat single coil tapi aku ada f hole ibz)
3)music type ko main
4)pedal drive ko yang ko decided..tube or not tube ( shakespear to be or not to be)
5)amp ko...ini yang penting..i tell you why...

ada orang cari guitar dulu, lepastu pedal, lepastu amp...aku dah lalu this experience dah...sekarang aku decide aku punya amp dulu....jtm 45, clone ke tak clone ke thats another story..lepastu aku cari pickups to match aku punya strat...dia mesti ada 'blooming tone' if played direct (means sagging la bro)....lepastu drive to match (yg ni mesti macam clapton waktu cream)...dan to have something with ts type analog with 3pdt....the rest is history....

but you have to understand this also..some pedals they work with tube amp input or vice versa...kalo ko pakai fuzzface kat amp transistor, you will understand why. ts works well with tube amp...therefore, amp tu dulu...decide..either fender or marshall etc...tube aaa...(topic power tubes, next time lah cerita...)

tajuk amp, mahal? level terlalu bising for bedroom practice? tak cukup air dgn crunch? ha ha ha....main tube amp ol' timer yg ko kenal..dengar, just listen to it..try as many as possible...baru ko akan paham what i mean by it..then cari amp transistor yg nearest to your favorit dalam 15 atau 16 watts with reverb spring kalo boleh...apply kan theory2 yang you all discuss kat atas tadi on how to mod tadi into reality....let the ear decides....ingat lak aku kat eric cartman punya joke...ha ha ha ha!..

woof!
