Title: Some demo vids - Chunk Chunk & Uproar
Post by: Mark_McQ on February 27, 2011, 04:14:33 PM
Recorded using the video mode on my digital camera, so it's only ok quality. But gives a rough idea of how the finished pedals sound.

ChunkChunk:

Uproar - clip switch in the middle position, Presence mod off, Mid boost on:

And a ChunkChunk with my modded Crybaby:

Awesome, thanks for sharing the videos! That's so much metal I kinda wanna punch a monkey.

I thought the Wah & CC sounded really good together.

your CC sounds better than mine, i'm not really all that happy with it but I don't think it's running right (can't remember what the issues were)  Mine is too muddy and noisy IIRC. 

the uproar sounds fantastic!  damn, I can't believe I missed out on those PCBs.   ::)

Most of it is unused just now. The G-Major sucks all the bass out when it's engaged in the loop, for some reason. Testing it tomorrow on a Marshall to see if it's the unit, or my effects loop, that's causing it.

Sounds very thick and throaty. Weirdly if I run the Crybaby into the Uproar, it's barely noticable.

Mine is coloured by the amp a bit. My clean channel has a gain control, so I run it on 10 to get some breakup, and then drive it more with the Chunk Chunk. I set the gain on the pedal to halfway and turn the volume up.
I find the Chunk Chunk gets very muddy with the gain higher than halfway. I experimented with some different transistors in mine and posted my findings in the mods section on here.

the uproar sounds like mine, thought it was a problem with the circuit, i hear too much bass compared to several demos i seen on youtube, and seems like it has lower gain.

I know madbean compared the pedal 1:1, but still seems like it's lacking alot of brightness and not enough gain.

Hello
very good video ....  ;D
I've just finished to build the uproar (not yet done the enclosure), and I've exactly the same comment than Ang3lus. For the bass, I think that using the mods proposed by madbean it can be (at least partially) handle (I've done several trials using diferent capa which let me think it is possible).
But for the gain, it is really lower compared to the riot if we base our judgement on youtube video. I think that the uproar with the gain pushed to the maximum is somewhat equivalent to the riot gain at 12H ...
it exists a mod to improve this point ?
