How to achieve the Nirvana effect
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey guys,</p> <p>I've got a pretty clear idea on something that I want to achieve using modular but would like some advice before jumping headfirst</p> <p>I've been producing some stuff that sounds like a synth version of nirvana: simple lines with the Moog Grandmother + Minitaur that sound mild until they suddenly get overdriven to hell and beyond</p> <p>Software-wise I'm happy with a stereo/Haas expander and Outputs's Thermal as overdrive + waveshaper</p> <p>Now I want to bring it into live performance</p> <p>So I want to build a rack that works as a distortion unit and I want a big knob that triggers the stereo expansion and overdrive circuit.</p> <p>How would you go about doing this?</p> <p>I'm looking into module advice but also thoughts on the chain I'd need. I'm looking into: - Erica Synths Plasma - Zvex fuzz modules For distortion, but no idea about a good stereo expander</p> <p>Any thoughts? Much appreciated friends</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/g_the_miller"> /u/g_the_miller </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/12wjm1p/how_to_achieve_the_nirvana_effect/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/12wjm1p/how_to_achieve_the_nirvana_effect/">[comments]</a></span>
