Alright alright today we have the Glove by Eelectro-Harmonix
Liiiiiiiikkkkke a glove, as our friend
Ace Ventura would say
Little bit'a my clean tone...
If you can hear my dog barking and nothing downstairs I apologize, but, umm..
He won't be joining us because he's decided that there's
something outside the door that's not there....
So, let's kick her on...
As usual on the clean channel of my ORANGE ROCKERVERB 50 MKIII
With the attenuator pretty much always all the way up because
this thing cranks as you know (already)
So!
12 o'clock
Um, as I understand it this thing is a OCD clone
As you know the OCD is one of the most popular pedals...
Pretty much, ever
Out of uh... Culver City California
their workshop is basically a fortress
Impenetrable, don't try knocking
Um, maybe email but just
look for them on Craigslist (or indeed) if you're
trying to, um...
get a soldering job or something of that nature
I believe their quote was "No rock stars"
But we're looking at EHX today Electro-Harmonix
So, enough about Fulltone
but Cali Represent
LA Represent
West LA Represent
Anyway,
So let's switch her on with the
Tone shift off at noon- see what happens
Actually, at uh...
At 12 o'clock it's not so bad..
let's do what we always pretty much do
turn the gain up
Let's turn that tone up...
Almost dimed...
probably the most OCD,
I've heard...
Let's turn that volume up...
Dimin' everything...
I feel like, um...
It gets a little muddy
So let's turn the gain down...
Let's turn the tone down
Uh, little bit more...
Alright, let's just put the volume back a little bit
gain up
It seems like the volume's affecting the tone a little bit...
Let's turn that back all the way up
Alright, just for Kicks,
we're gonna run it through the dirty app for a second
back to 12 o'clock, and then we're gonna check it out
With the shift knob, up...
So,
Dirty Channel
As usual forgive me for my horrible tapping,
Let's throw the gain up, we're gonna throw the tone up- we're gonna put the volume down...
(Inaudible expression of excitement)
DIME TIME!
Gain at 9 o'clock
(Inaudible expression of excitement)
Tone down... (11 o'clock)
Oh yeah, that's purdddy fun
Lets turn the volume down a little bit,
Turn the gain back up a bit...
Considering the volume's at about noon on my amp, on the dirty channel; that's pretty impressive...
Dirty channel off!
Clean channel back!
Let's see how much running it into a
Distorted channel or,
A distortion can do...
Let's turn the shift knob on
Or the shift switch on, tone up...
One sec go back to the other one
okay so it brings a little more shine into it...
Um, just everything at 12 o'clock real quick...
Oh definitely turned the sensitivity up
I'm gonna, roll my volume back a bit...
Gain all the way up...
Tone back...
Tone all the way upppppp....
let's put that gain back just a bit...
We can turn the gain up a little bit more, just because it's little more responsive...
Let's just dime it, why not?
Alright, dime the volume...
again excuse my awful tapping but for an overdrive that's pretty impressive so...
Let's bring everything back to 12 o'clock
Alright... Dirty channel
So, it's clearly introducing that 'sing-y' quality...
Fun with knobs...
DIMED!
DIME TIME!
(Ambiguous knob turning)
Okay
So,
General assessment The Glove is
Again in the words of Ace Ventura
Liiiiiiiikkkkke a glove,
It's very OCD-ish...
I think I might like it on the shift off a little bit better
Than the shift on
The shift on makes it more marshall-y it seems
The gain knob does more of that big muff-y thing where it...
kind of oscillates and and you know
tone wheels the gain so it gets a lot more
it gets a lot more sing to it
does that kind of mmmmmm thing if you turn the volume up real loud
I think as an overdrive it's pretty fantastic either way
I think it's a great...
I think it's a really great OCD clone
Obviously for less of a price but
There she is
However you feel about EHX
This one's a winner
Ed On The Floor
Peace \m/
