Fulltone Ultimate Octave Demo (With QOTSA riffs)

[jfrizzlle]

ah man the opening is fucking tight good job

[DaMogai]

dude, may i ask you how your settings for the rhythm guitar of regular john were? i just got myself this pedal and it kicks ass...and i think you hit a pretty nice tone there man

[SamAlexander14786]

@DaMogai The rhythm guitar parts were done by a Way Huge Green Rhino clone, not the ultimate octave. The heavy fuzzy tone was the ultimate octave. 

[DaMogai]

man, i've rarely been that unsure what to do... 200€ for a fuzz pedal?!?!

but this one has to be worth it, i totally need it

[dtsarouhis]

You have the best qotsa sound i ve heard.

Can you share the settings you used on both pedal and amp?

I own the pedal but as you know it is very sensitive when you tweak the knobs and is hard to find the best tone.

[McFro95]

Can you just use the octave-up effect on it's own?

[SamAlexander14786]

@McFro95 Nope it's only usable when the fuzz is engaged.

[josueatthebb]

Fuck that metronome in the ass!

[azombiestool]

Fuck these kids comin in here telling this guy that he needs to keep time. The video says Fulltone Ultimate Octave with QOTSA riffs... If you comment, comment on that! And personally, KICK ASS Tone my friend. Keep it up.

[SamAlexander14786]

@azombiestool Thanks man for the positive comment! Personally now time has passed and I watch my own vid I am inclined to agree with a lot of the people who commented about timing. It was wayyyy off when I recorded this. Thankfully though I can keep in time now :p I'll have to re-record and upload another vid at some point.

[azombiestool]

@SamAlexander14786 haha yeah man! Well, its true, the timing was off, and the best time you could hear the kick ass tone was where the double tracks where playing the same thing when panned L and R, but either way, my point in the comment is that the timing wasnt the point in the video in the first place:P haha

But yeah man! You should SO redo this video. Do some Them crooked vultures rifss and of course, Kyuss or QOTSA, thatd sound sick!

[groovey65]

how did you get so bad at keeping in time?

[SamAlexander14786]

@groovey65 An amp cranked to fuck = can't hear anything in the room where it was recorded. Not even the second track.

[groovey65]

@SamAlexander14786 well when you recorded the first how did you get so out of time if all you good hear was the sound of what you were playing?

[SamAlexander14786]

@groovey65 Generally when playing to a previously recorded track you play to a click. I didn't have one so that's how the second part was out of time with the first.

[julguitar]

I need that shit !!!

[YukistopherDiadora]

at least use rhythm click

[SamAlexander14786]

@YukistopherDiadora Hard to hear a click above a cranked amp son.

[2112Primus]

oh my god i need this pedal so bad

[BlueOnionGroup]

sounds spot on but you are playing it wrong sorry

[SamAlexander14786]

@BlueOnionGroup

Already know that, at the time of recording this I hadn't figured out how to play regular john correctly.

[punkiassjunki]

is this a fuzz pedal or an octave pedal? or is it both?

[SamAlexander14786]

@punkiassjunki It's both, but the octave effect is only functional when the fuzz is engaged.

[stevestizzy]

dude i really wanna ask you.... you use the pedal without using the "octave" effect, right? How is the fuzz on it's one? is it truly that muddy and sweet ? :P

[SamAlexander14786]

@stevestizzy

Yep using it without the octave effect and this is exactly the way the pedal sounds. It's pretty much the QOTSA tone in a box :p

[scotty554]

Regular John sounded fucking quality

[TheAPC91]

1:03 ...... I just came twice....

[SamAlexander14786]

@insaner338 Yep it was tuned to C standard

[Simto]

Dude, you nailed the tone!

[FSBO]

Joshy also plays a guitar made in Australia and built by Maton Guitars.

George Harrison of The Beatles also used a Maton Guitar in 1963.

If you do a Google search of, George Harrison — Maton MS500.

You can see the guitar at a few websites.

[snake139]

what is that hollow body guitar in the photo at around 30 seconds? It looks sweet!

[SamAlexander14786]

It's a motorave Bel air custom. Josh was seen using it in 2008 at reading festival.

[1958lespaul1]

What a sweet sounding fuzz distortion... this is the sound I have been after...

[4ntiIvIon]

I WANT THAT PEDAL!

such a beautiful dark splattering fuzz..

[happyrichie]

yes i am very impressed, im pritty stoned and that buzzed me the fuck out big time!

[amsgnoj]

Aha! that would to lmao

[knockmed0wn]

Dirty.

[Szartard]

So pretty much the QOTSA sound in a box?

[neoflox]

Should have used a click here and there and maybe a less sharp amp setting but otherwise nice featurette.

[SamAlexander14786]

Click track wouldn't of made a difference lol, had the amp cranked and tried double tracking while barely able to hear the second guitar :facepalm:

Thanks though :)

[leed1984]

i have a boss oc 3and only seem to be able to play 'single notes' and not chords.are you able to play chords with the 'ultimate octave'?

[SamAlexander14786]

Firstly the OC3 sets the original signal down an octave while the ultimate octave sets the signal up an octave. Now you can't really play chords on either as they don't track very well. That said the ultimate octave tracks all notes all over the neck. Outstanding pedal! Hope this helps! :)

[MonkeyPox5]

Thats seriously sick man. Really good.

[SamAlexander14786]

Thanks man, I'm going to get around to doing a proper cover of sick sick sick sometime next week :)

[szalonyromek]

1:20 - haha, dr. martens

[howareyoudoing0]

nice sound from the pedal :)

and you also CAN play ;P

but the overdub what you did isn't always good

shame but nice to hear what the pedal can do with qotsa riffs;)

[BurmaGuns]

This is the closet I have ever heard someone get to Josh's sound...Sweet!!

[supersucker72]

awesome

[SamAlexander14786]

Cheers, not too sure about the effect combo on infinity but it's defo fuzz and maybe a touch of delay? Not sure though so don't hold me to it!

[megustanlosvideos]

Nice effect and sounds great. Do you know what is the combination qotsa use on infinity intro??

[darryleyeman]

Awesome, that's some nice guitar porn, loved the pedal names above the corresponding effects and a great tone.

[maximizebux]

WOW ! 5* sound !

[SamAlexander14786]

Cheers! Much appreciated :)
