Dear Members,
just want to show one more demo while we wait for a progress update. Enjoy!

Posted at 05:52h, 07 AugustHow much will the SVDS pedal version be? (US $)
Ant
Posted at 20:05h, 07 AugustFrom what has been said so far USD 280 approximate plus p&p 🙂
SoloDallas
Posted at 20:08h, 07 AugustSorry Nick for the late reply. Our ambassador Ant is just right (thank you, Mr. Ambassador 😆 ) that is price of the TSR™ Pedal, plus shipping (still unknown, we estimate circa USD30-40 per Pedal shipment, tracked).
Thanks,
Fil

Posted at 22:11h, 12 JuneThis is gonna be sooo great when it comes through Fil
I’ve been using a Box of Rock for boost up to now but it’s a tad violent and the Replica seems more subtle in a gnarly, growly, don’t move I’m gonna pounce way !
SoloDallas
Posted at 11:42h, 13 JuneI happen to have the bor too, will compare them and report here verbally to tell about differences.
Naturally I am one of testers of our own product and… Using it as much as I am brought me to the conclusion that this “tool” should be in the home of every guitar player in the world.
We are now working for this objective 🙂

Posted at 10:55h, 15 JuneHi Fil,
saw your other youtube video where you´re playing with the “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Relics “Angus” Model.Do you know what bridge pickup and electronics were used in this model ? Sounds pefect to me !!! The Marshall2203 + Schaffer pedal + this guitar = AWESOME AC/DC SOUND !!!!!!!
Since I´m playing only at home with Amplitube 3 software I wish IK multimedia would model your Schaffer pedal so I could replicate this sounds at a bedroom level.Maybe you can ask them to do it. I would buy it immediately !

Posted at 20:09h, 12 JuneGod that sound…
Fil, you made me want a 1959 now… Gotta find one of those now haha
Can’t wait for the replicas to be shipped out, so happy 🙂
SoloDallas
Posted at 21:54h, 12 JuneI couldn’t live without a 1959. I know it’s also Angus’ favourite, but it definitely is MY favorite amp of all times 😀
depuis1899
Posted at 22:29h, 12 JuneWell, I told you how I fell in love with my 2203 and the G12-65, but the more I listen to a 1959 the more I want one, so I gotta find one of those too 😆
But the more I play my 2203 the more I love it, I think I found what I was looking for with an amp 🙂
Ant
Posted at 22:52h, 12 Junei wish native instuments would do a cabinet with G12-65s 🙁
i switched to the plex (1959) recently and i think its much sweeter 🙂
shaolintao
Posted at 18:51h, 13 JuneAnd the more we listen to the schaffer replica the more we want it!
Ant
Posted at 20:02h, 12 JuneHarrisons glasses just fell off!! 😀
Bravo Fil, can hear you have refined the tone since the demos (i know you used extremes:) )
Can hear that fat wide bass tones but yet searing highs and every nauance from your hands, beautiful!
SoloDallas
Posted at 21:52h, 12 JuneYou’ve been listening. Yes, all you said was right on. You know those videos are extremes exactly to show just HOW much power is thrown at an amp (fully boosted Replica). Here the boost was just above the minimum (at minimum or zero – closed knob – no sound comes out!) with just a tad of boost from the booster; the rest of the boost came from the compressor knob that was maxed out. With THIS Pedal, a whole lot of things are possible. I too look forward to you all having yours, suggesting settings, combinations etc. Enjoy, Fil! 🙂
Ant
Posted at 22:28h, 12 Juneyou should make a page dedicated for the TSR so people can do such thing 🙂
noticed you seemed so gental with the picking on the bib solo, this ture? i can remember Angus saying in an interview that he moves around alot but is “gentle”
SoloDallas
Posted at 22:30h, 12 JuneYes it’s a good – great – idea. Consider this done (section)!
YES. I was actually always gentle – or tried to – always. Brushing gently. Reason is also that the TSR has basically two sounds, just by touching. If you touch really, really gently, you get one sound. If you strike harder, to get the other one, which is harsher, more acid etc. I truly believe – especially when using the SVDS – Angus became aware of this too, and used it to perfection in several different ways.
Ant
Posted at 22:47h, 12 Junei think one good example of this is on shake a leg solo at 2:24 ish then at 2:56 ish his tone changes drasticaly 🙂
Dries
Posted at 14:24h, 13 JuneHey Ant, good find! I think this is true. I really recognize the change in the sound, the second part of the solo is CERTAINLY with SVDS, first not I think.
Nice!
Ant
Posted at 15:02h, 13 JuneAlways makes me think what Angus/Tony did to change the tone that way i bet they used the SVDS on both but angus played the second part separetly but just changed a few settings and mic positions
banane
Posted at 16:22h, 13 JuneMaybe he just played the solo two times, with and without SVDS and Platt just mixed in both variants?
SoloDallas
Posted at 16:31h, 13 JuneWhen I met Platt, this was his version: “Angus played ALL the solos of BinB from the recording room, WITH the SVDS. All of them. After inspection in New York – at the time of mixing – some parts of some solos turned out to be out of tune(!). Therefore, we had to re-record them. The SVDS had been packed away, coming away from Compass Studios – at the Bahamas – so we didn’t have it. We had to try and match that sound, but we were not able to. I Still hear the difference in sound to this days”. Between quotes, were Tony Platt’s words in person, Fil 😉
Dries
Posted at 17:19h, 13 JuneThis makes sense.
Ant
Posted at 17:20h, 13 Junewhich part on shoot to thrill do you think the SVDS is not used? 🙂
Angusrocks101
Posted at 05:14h, 14 JuneFil, does the Replica and SVDS alike allow for the sound to not be clean when brushing because I find it way to clean brushing when a 1959 style amp is on 7. That also leads me to ask how hard you are hitting the strings by saying brush. Also do you brush for solos and rhythm or just solos? Interesting to say the least.
Angusrocks101
Posted at 05:57h, 14 JuneAlso the brushing thing could’ve been a studio (and live?) trick from the beginning so he could crank up the amps. Because brushing does result in an audible decrease in volume.
depuis1899
Posted at 22:31h, 12 Junea page like this would be a great idea ! nice thoughts again Ant 🙂
SoloDallas
Posted at 17:26h, 13 JuneWell I think he made a mistake there. Shoot to thrill actually sounds like it WAS SVDS. At least for the most part. Now, Shake A Leg – the second part of the solo is most definitely NOT SVDS. Go there, listen to it then you’ll tell me 🙂
Dries
Posted at 19:57h, 13 JuneThe first part you mean?
Ant
Posted at 20:47h, 13 Juneyep second is not SVDS i can hear the same bass tones fil has it has that bigger wider sounding edge to it, the second part sounds thinner and more sharp bit like its missing another mic to capture the rest of it or somthing lol
Ant
Posted at 21:01h, 13 Juneyou think that Tony got stt and sal mixed up? possible 😛 was a long time ago for the ol chap 😀
Ryley
Posted at 16:55h, 12 JuneLOL sorry about your glasses there Fil 😉 Excellent work as always, just gets me more and more excited for this pedal!
