Catalinbread Naga Viper

Post by lll »

Rangermaster flavored.

Here's my Plexi with the Naga Viper in front doing DIO-era Sabbath-ish stuff:

I fully agree with PLX... That is the quintessential Iommi sound for sure! 8-)

I thought he made another pedal Sabra Cadabra or something??? I think it was some type of booster and preamp pedal in one.

I like the sound of the Naga Viper into you plexi.... ;)

The Sabbra pedal works nicely with the Naga. There is also a Laney Black Country Customs Pedal that nails the Iommi tone. All great stuff!

The Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra combines the Naga Viper with a pedal-sized rendition of a Laney Supergroup amp.

I've heard clips and they sounded decent but I'm not sure that's the 1000% ticket... prolly good facsimilie of the tone.

The Rangemaster thing does this cool thing to the mids.

I went and looked for a clone, and AionFX sells the board for $12

Low parts count too, so prolly an estimated $75 build.

Damn!!!! That sounded spot-on. I'm going to have to go listen to Country Girl now, got that song stuck in my head now - which is a good thing!

Other cool thing the Rangemaster Treble Boosters do is give you a natural hi-pass with your tone.

So, all that flub you get when turning up your typical Marshall gets cut; letting the low mids and on up the freq spectrum through (hence, "treble booster").

The Catalinbread Naga Viper has a knob that lets you adjust how much or how little flub you want to keep in your tone.

All that being said, I'm gonna f*** with this tone some more. Not going for exact tone here but "flavored by".

I like this clip, but I think I can do a better EQ job.

Here's two other older clips I did with my Plexi and this pedal.

This one is an old attempt at Heaven & Hell... before I had my UAD stuff.

BTW, the trick with the delay in the certain solo bits here is to set the milliseconds to... 666 ms! I shit you not. When trying to match the repeats, I found that 400ms (bog standard) wasn't it... it was longer. So thinking about Black Sabbath and their devil schtick... I tried 666ms. Boom - timed perfectly. :lol:



This one is the same Country Girl-ish clip but mic'd with SM57, doubled and soloed over:
