The mellon collie video is gonna go crazy

I came here specifically for "Rocket" and you delivered. Thank you.

Thanks for the info Eddie, used the Bi-Phase plugin on my Today cover I just uploaded, it made a big difference to the tone! 🙌

Just wanted to say thanks Eddie for all your research. It's cool running into old forum posts you made after watching your videos.. seeing your journey has much inspired mine. I swear I have some of those threads memorized. Anyways tossing it out there, one of those strange small pieces I caught the other day listening to Soma, is a pedal I'm not sure you've mentioned yet. The long bend in the Soma solo right at 5:03 definitely kicks on a Dunlop Rotovibe... it's only a few seconds but it's there. I know there are pictures of SP playing with rotovibes on stage out there too

All these sounds, effects and tones must have been a nightmare for Butch Vig to record and mix, since nothing like that had ever been done before, and I strongly believe he got out of that album the best recording and mixing engineer we all know and that I most admire.

My PI phase and Hartman flanger do all the filter and swoosh needed for pumkins. I sold 2 original Bi phases in the mid 2000's and even knew they would get past my budget going forward. I think those large folded boxes have some mojo that doesn't translate into sound, but thexperience using them is so wild. Cool videos, I never try to match anything as close as you but it's very interesting to see someone put the effort in and how you got there.

Thank you! I have a video on this topic coming out soon that covers how I approach doing this.

When you split the signal with the wetter box, the signal going to the SUF Pumpkin Pi and the PI Phase are you locking the Pi Phase with toe up or toe down? P.S. Love to see the settings on the Pi Phase close up (or any info). Thanks again for ANY info.

Boss had a micro rack phaser in the late 80s which might do the job. You could manually sweep the phase in a static filtery mode which was really reminiscent of Pumpkins' Siamese Dream era sound.

those old Mu-Tron pedals are so rad. especially for a big Jerry Garcia fan like myself. I have the newer Micro-Tron and it's pretty great. little pricey. but great.

I think you can use an expression pedal on the deco and sweep the lag time. Would act like an Electric Mistress sweep. Could be wrong, but I just bought an expression pedal to try it. Also I regularly use the MXR Q Zone as a filter effect - gets the Mick Ronson Ziggy Stardust sound or the Rocket filter sound.

@EddieClark

Very interesting... Being a 3-stage phaser, the Bi-Phase will basically introduce three steep notches into the signal. From looking into the schematic, the notch frequencies are a factor of about 3.7 apart, so e.g. 106.4Hz - 397Hz - 1469 Hz, depending on the position of the expression pedal. I tried creating a similar notch effect with the parametric eq in my Helix with very promising results. Might play around with this a bit more to find the frequencies that are closest, though probably they might be different for different songs or even different guitar layers on the same song.

Eddie, What octave pedal did Billy use on Siamese Dreams? a mutron octave + plus pedal. Did Billy tune to Eb standard or D standard because it sounds like Siamese Dreams is very layered guitars. You mention using a EHX Badstone turning OFF the LFO switch using the phaser as a filter sounds more "metallic" compared to the mutron Bi-phase? can you compared the EHX Badstone filter with the mutron Bi phase Filter in a video lesson because this is a major part of Siamese dream guitar tone.

A similar effect can be achieved using a Subdecay Prometheus DLX with the depth and the resonance controls set almost to zero and using the frequency control to pick your mid frequency.

You're right! It sounds like a filter because phase shifting, by definition, is filtering, or more accurately a series of all-pass filters being modulated in unison, which is then blended with the dry signal and usually comes with some sort of audio feedback integration. Interestingly, a flanger is more or less the same thing, albeit with many more stages; sometimes as many as 24 filter stages with lots more feedback (which is responsible for the 'aircraft taking off' sort of sound). I've always loved the Bi-Phase because typical phasers like the MXR Phase 90/100 or Boss PH-2 have their phase modulated by an LFO, which is nice but the effect gets old quick imo. Having the ability to manually modulate the phaser's full frequency band is so powerful and useful for so many applications and instruments.

The Electric Mistress is a cool pedal. Too bad all the bucket brigade IC’s go bad in them. There’s really good clones out there now.

I noticed you have a wetter box in your chain. what do you use that for in parallel?

Mick Ronson did a similar thing with his wah pedal…he used it more as a filter to get that famous “cocked wah” sound he used all over Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” LP.

Where can you buy this?

It’s a discontinued pedal so somewhere like reverb but you can look for the Behringer or the MuTron Reissue as well. They will all get you there. 👍

Did you leave Thailand on the whole? I just arrived back in Chiang Mai about a week ago. BKK is a little too hectic for me but I love the general lifestyle here.

I train Muay Thai so at this point, I spend 3-4 months of the year over here. I love this place. I’m up in Chiang Mai and meeting up with a subscriber here tonight!

Do you have a lizard?? It looked like it was enjoying the tunes

We have two crested geckos. My girlfriend got me into them. They often poke out when they hear music being played.

This sounded awesome, looked up how much one costs....ouch

Thanks! A used Behringer is a cheaper option if you can find one. They’re more reasonably priced and they’re the same circuit

@EddieClark i use a OBNE Visitor and got a great slow phase out of it

If they can, why won’t SP make more of the sound from the early days? Make what people want! They can say they want the freedom to do whatever they want and not be like circus animals doing stuff they don’t like just for the audience… Well … make it ROCK then … don’t they like to Rock? They can make other silly stuff on side projects… We are orphans of good bands nowadays, SP please adopt us with rocking songs… not much to ask if you got the skills… End of rant.

I'm with you. I would love to hear that sound revisited. I think artists sometimes get stuck feeling like they must surpass all aspects of previous works.

This is not where good art comes from. Making what other people want to hear rather than what you want to express is how you get St Anger, Scream and many other mis-step records. If Billy had done that after Melon Collie we would never have had Adore and the Pumpkins wouldn't be such an interesting band. I do agree that the quality hasn't been there since Oceania though.

@@EddieClark pretty much this right here. It was pretty obvious that was the path Billy was going down when he started talking about MCIS and what it meant for the Pumpkins in terms of their musical style.

Aww flip!!! Just forget it, man! Plugins don't help with live performance. And I don't have extra thousands of dollars. Thanks for the video...

You don’t need thousands. As I mentioned, there are cheaper alternatives that sound the same. reverb.com/item/74124623-behringer-dual-phase-v-2-aka-bi-phase?

I just got a Dual Phase pedal from Behringer and it’s pretty close to the Mu-Tron. Well, as close as you can expect for only £149! It’s got a CV socket for an expression pedal but I’m not sure if it controls the rate of the sweep, or if it controls the sweep itself, like the way you could control the Mu-Tron. Does anyone out there know?

@EddieClark

The CV port is where you plug in the expression pedal 👍

@terrypussypower

@@EddieClark Yeah, I know, but what I’m trying to find out is what it controls. Is it the actual sweep of the phase shifting, to get the filter-like effect of a cocked wah, or just changes the rate at which it sweeps? In other words, does the Behringer’s CV control behave the same way as the PiPhase in the video?

@EddieClark

It controls the sweep or rate sweep depending on the which options you select for pedal/CV control
