Boss SE-50 voice effect |

ok. this MP3:
[note : link edited out by Blue Hell]
is a cover of Billy Squire's 'The Stroke' by Mr. Bungle circa 1992. ever since 1992 i have been hunting for this particular effect. i even asked Mike Patton himself what effects box he used on the Mr. Bungle '92 tour and he said it was a Boss SE-50 (which i now own). However - i cannot seem to emulate this effect as well as what you hear. i know he was using only the SE-50 to create this vocal effect. i talked at length with him about it and have videos showing it's employment. he pretty much said that he fiddled around with a preset patch's settings and eventually was like - wow, that's cool and saved it.
i want to know if my G2X Engine is capable of creating something as close as possible to this. i am sure its a variation of the 'Multi Pitch Shifter' patch in the SE-50.
basically its a mono input that gets directed straight out (with level adjustment) and also goes into 4 separate pre-delays (all set different - i believe this is the varying modulation voices i hear). from there the signals go into their own pitch shifters (whose values can go +/- 2 octaves in either direction i.e. -24 to +24). of the 4 separate pre-delay/pitch-shifted signals, the first can also be fed back into itself. the signals then go to their own levels and pan pots, combine with the directed original signal, and at the end of all that, are finally output as a stereo signal.
i can get close but not nail it with my SE-50. i believe it should be possible in the G2X Engine and probably sound even better. the SE-50 is a 16 bit guitar effects processor. i have tried to make this patch in my G2X Engine but met with very limited success - if i would even go that far lol. so - any adventurous and bored people wanna help me out with this? please and thanks. _________________ Steve |

I was just doing what Kassen suggested

The polite way would have included a bit of explanation as to what you were up to, I now simply assumed you reposted a link to the entire song.
Sorry I don't feel like playing. _________________ Jan

Sure, but still this is the original Q and it was actually reasonably interesting. Effects like these are fun, sounds cool and you really donĀ“t need a G2 in order to get there . _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

No.. it is a section of the song. As it clearly said in the post you deleted Jan.

Great! If you'd only take care of that 404 error we have a good start for a compromise as far as I can see. _________________ Kassen |

I'm sorry, I didn't see it.
A bit of explanation as to what you were up to would have been appreciated, I'm pretty disappointed actually you didn't try that but tried me instead. _________________ Jan

I suggest we have a go at this bossed patton efx thingie in this thread. We have other threads for the good old foodfights. I am sure we even have a subforum for all the wonders of decapitation too. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

ok, well, it won't win any awards for clear comunication but to me this looks like a acceptable compromise.
can we get back to the business at hand? to me this still sounds like a deep slow chorus. _________________ Kassen |

I'm patching as we speak.
It was clearly communicated as I posted the clip originally as post two in this thread, with a sentence that explained it was a section of the original. Of course Jan pulled his favourite trick of deleting my post and confusing the situation further. _________________ Steve |

Like.. level the input with a compressor or some cl device.. that way you can nearly brickwall the feed close to internal clipping i n some stage of the chorus box. then kinda do the same on the output with a very fast rise and realease. This will increase and stress the "garbling factor".

Thinking stereo would be fine for a studio recording. You could even do the output with an 1176 set at ABM and try to skim the most modulated noises into a full ABM blast. Works fine with violin. A final touch with EQ after that one and then final levelling with whatever feels right. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

i'm sure this will get deleted too... this may or may not be the patch he is using - but out of all the effects in the unit i get closest with this one.

Whatever, the stuff you posted is OK. Follow my suggestions and see what you get. That approach to using such devices is called SGB ( spectral gain battering ) _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

spectral gain battering sound fun !
i'll take a stab and say that first the effect is acheived by more than just the pitch shifting
the distortion is playing a role somehow...modulating the pitch by squaring the waveform in interesting ways..or something like that..and the percussion track seems to be subjected to the same distortion effect and those hits also seem to be modulating the sound somehow
the distortion is pretty raw annd almost sounds like overloading a modern solid state mixing board
guesses
i dunno very hard to say of course, as many times people find those unique things by lucky turns of the knob at the last second.. _________________ Spiral Recordings |

Paul, you have already heard a lot of SGB stuff. The ryhthmic noise sections in "Transmigration" were all SGB as well as the bass sequence at the start of A Scanner Darkly. I have a selection of SGB style patches I am using for all sorts of stuff. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

yeah, sounds like a distorted pitch-shift of sorts.
have you heard the albums 'Too Dark Park' or 'Last Rights' by Skinny Puppy? the vocalist uses this effect a bit, it sounds better than in this example. _________________ SoundCloud |

i just listened to them and i didn't hear it - not in any context that was audibly similar to Patton's effect. |

it's better to be orginal and experimental, than worry about copying another's sound..imo _________________ Spiral Recordings |

It's also a great springboard for being original and experimental. _________________ Steve |
