Resodude Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Does anyone here know any effects that would make the guitar get the similar sound of a NES. Example (youtube) the first 25 seconds. Example#2 (youtube) ignore the 10 first seconds (not my videos) It can probably be made with MIDI, but is there something similar to a distortion pedal? Or maybe just an onboard effect? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Alesis sells a couple units with a "decimator" effect. AirFX is one (I have it), and Bitrman is another (never tried it - now discontinued and fetching ever increasing prices on eBay). The sound isn't exactly NES, but it's got some of that old school videogame feel for sure. So maybe a decimation-like effect and some tone shaping would get you where you want to be.

Jon Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I know there are very similar effects with midi. The only effect out there that reminds me of video games that I have tried in person was a "Phase Shifter" pedal by BOSS and it only sounded like pole position. Not a very useful pedal.

mammoth guitars Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Check out the filters from moog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerretallicA Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 When I was first starting to experiment and branch out with the guitar I used to use the Ring Mod effect on a DOD Tech-4 pedal and a BOSS EQ pedal for pretty much that exact purpose. With modern multi-FX pedals where you can layer on even more effects (low-pass, fuzz and light chorus together with the ring mod?) I imagine the sound would be quite passable.

aidlook Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Bitcrushers would get you an effect similar to what you're looking for, then add some eq perhaps to get closer. here's an example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
