Cliff Hanger Distortion review?

[williamh]

was anything else ever said about that custom shop cliff hanger pedal that was sold a while back? I had been looking forward to hearing about it.

[Blobcaster]

so far i've only run it through the little Swart STR to much gain for that little amp,lots in this box,it seems.going through a Vox AC30HW,Marshall 1974X & Swart SST soon!

the suspense is a cliff hanger,,
please keep us posted on this wall of rock when you can.

[Donner]

cool, I was wondering the same myself....
Yes lots of gain potential - if y'all didnt get the visual pun a cliff is basically a 'wall of rock ' and it has a wide variety of distortion intensities - but yeah it might overrun a little guy ... looking forward to hearing how it works with the other amp/speaker combos...

[DocRock]

Would love to hear it thru my Hiwatt DR-103.

[Donner]

Oh I forgot about this...

I made this vid to test various mic positions and show how much simply changing mic position can effect the recorded sound.... , its sloppy but the distortion is the Cliff Hanger

that is an awesome video! thanks Donner

[cabo]

wow,,those are quite some differences,,great comparison.

[Donner]

thanks -- yeah it amazing what you can do just moving t he mic.... especially double trackingfrom too different spots

or try running two mics to your PA split a bit left/right can sound huge (being able t o flip the phase is important here too...)

Donner,

Thanks for another great demonstration.

I saw a write up recently on TGP where a guy asked about replacing his mic and this and that to get a better sound. A couple of senior members rolled in and told him to keep his stuff, move the mic around, and mark the spots on the grill cloth (with non-stick tape) where it sounded the sweetest. I now see why. I'd certainly like to try that two mic set up.

Nice playing, too, by the way and nice pedal!!
