Short Landmine Distortion Pedal Demo

[derekwall82]

How do you tune the top 3 strings to get them to sound really deep and demonic like in an industrial metal song?

[derekwall82]

@derekwall82 /I know you use a tuner, but would the kind of strings have somethin to do with that?

@derekwall82

You could try tuning your guitar 3 steps down. Try B♭-E♭-A♭-D♭-F-B♭.

anthing about those pickups you don't like? just curious i'm thinkin' about buyin' 'em

[KissFanSite]

@bpl711

I think they're great! Killer rock tone. Ceramic magnets, definitely high output. Can do clean stuff too but be prepared to change some of your settings because these pickups put out a B-I-G signal.

Thats Intence...I Want A Landmine pedal now..lol

[huyiy]

hey you are using 1 spot power supply... what do you do with the unused/extra plugs? did it come with rubber covers?

[MiniMightyMan96]

@huyiy mine came with little covers

[Jebochi]

I'm new to guitar, and about to learn Electric first.

I love this pedal's sound.

HI dude, whats your opinion about MXR noise gate? do you think BOSS noise supresor is better?

[KissFanSite]

I have not used the Boss noise suppressor, but the MXR Smart Gate is a good pedal. Sometimes excess noise is caused by poor cables, flourescent lighting, or computers. Noise gates don't work that well in removing those types of noises. It is always recommended to make sure your equipment is of high quality when trying to get rid of noise. If you have checked these things and just want the guitar to be quiet between passages when you have your gain turned up the Smart Gate will do the job.

landmine is gonna explode!

[koolzombie]

Holy shit that sounds huge!

[skarfreak]

wow...

[benrox26]

Wow now thats distortion

[slashisco]

hey man, nice pedal board..do the MXR smart gate sucks? LOL i saw a video, and it doesn't sound good, but in reviews it seems cool...i really need a 'owners opinion'

[KissFanSite]

The MXR Smart Gate works fine and doesn't suck tone when set properly. No noise gate can perform miracles. You still have to do everything to make sure your signal chain is as clean as possible. Noise gates cannot compensate for bad cables, poor unregulated power supplies, or incorrectly installed guitar electronics. The Smart Gate does a great job at getting rid of the extra noise that heavy overdrive and distortion pedals can cause. Good luck!

thanks man, i bought days ago the metal muff, and the hum its anoying, other problem that i have its the order, because i have, an enveloope filter, the metal muff, an EQ, a chorus pedal and a boss loop-station, can you help me again?

[KissFanSite]

The envelope filter is a modulation effect and should be placed after the distortion and eq pedal. Try this order: Metal Muff-EQ-Envelope filter-Chorus-loop station.

I'd put the noise gate after the chorus.

Are you playing a Strat, Tele, or other type of single-coil guitar? They are prone to hum. Humbucking pickups are two single-coil pickups next to each other and wired to cancel hum. Flourescent lighting and computers can cause hum. Try standing or facing in different directions.

thanks again, you saved my day ahah

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

could you help me with a similar problem, i know the compressor pedals are used to get rid of hiss and hum, i got that i play thru a randall tube amp hi gain and also thru a distortion pedal so i got ALOT of hiss/hum, but also my main problem is a really LOUD whistle sound, its like you tap a string and it stays making a loud whistleing noise and it continues non stop, its very very annoying, can it stop that aswell or is it just solely for the purpose of humming annoyance

[KissFanSite]

It sounds like the noise you're getting is from using too much gain.Compressor pedals don't get rid of hum and hiss. They keep audio levels even.Your amp is amplifying all of the noise it's receiving through the input.Start new by plugging directly into your amp and get the best CLEAN tone you can,then add one pedal at a time making sure you set the volume of the pedal to match the volume of the amp by itself. Remember that distortion boxes plugged into a distorted amp usually sound awful!

[KissFanSite]

The order of your pedals is important. I usually run overdrive and pedals early in the signal chain and phasers, chorus, and delay effects later because I don't want the overdrive/distortion pedals to amplify the noise of the other pedals. Always run a reverb type pedal last. Make sure you have good quality cables because bad cables and patch cords can introduce noise to your signal chain. Sometimes just rolling back on the volume of your guitar helps when you are using a lot of gain.

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

thanks for the help i will try this out, btw, is there a way i can get my dist' pedal to work through my amp without all that extra noise like you said, on bothe the amp AND ther pedal there is a bass, gain, treble, mid, and overall level, which should i focus on altering, the pedals levels or the amps, its just confusing and i like the pedals distortion as it has a scooped mids buton, its the MXR dome distortion pedal. i love the sound it gives just cant crank it up cuz its a messy sound

[KissFanSite]

If you like the pedal's distorted tone make sure your amp is CLEAN. You don't want the amp to distort in this instance, you want the amp to simply make the signal from the pedal louder without altering it otherwise. A distortion pedal feeding an already distorted amp makes that messy sound you're experiencing. Set the amp's tone controls no higher than midway. Set the volume of the amp at your desired playing volume. Now you are free to experiment with the pedals controls.

[KissFanSite]

In my demo of the Landmine notice that my amplifier is clean. If I had the Marshall cranked the added distortion from the Landmine would make for an awful sounding mess of distortion. You can also experiment with getting a good distorted tone from your amp and using the pedal to boost it. In this instance, set the amp for a good crunch tone and use the pedal to overdrive it by setting the distortion on the pedal almost all the way down and turn the volume on the pedal all the way up. Enjoy!
