The first thing we should talk about is the new album “The Astonishing”, we received a copy of the album a few days ago for review and to say the very least, it was a little overwhelming with the amount of tracks on there and the grand, epicness of it. When I talked to keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess about the new concept album, he seemed genuinely pleased with how it turned out but not after a lot of time and work was put into it as I found out in our discussion on the eve of it’s official release.Īndrew: Thanks for your time today, it’s much appreciated. It almost sounds like a phaser but more distinct.Dream Theater’s latest opus that is “The Astonishing” is going to take some time to really take in, it’s a very ambitious and challenging album that may divide some fans as to whether it’s up there with their best work. ![]() It’s mainly used for clean parts - it will get used on Hell’s Kitchen. Usually, I’ll be in the mood to get a David Gilmour or trippy Robin Trower vibe, or old school Rush. The TonePrint ability is awesome, you can just beam things off your phone. “This is TC’s answer to a ‘Uni-Vibe’ kind of sound. I can have this covering most chorus modulation if I want and use the Dreamscape as a flanger.” TC Electronic Vicious Vibe “Here’s a limited edition version of a similar pedal called the Corona Chorus+, it’s just like the original TC SCF pedal. It helps tame those peaks, but you can do without it - the clean sound of the Boogie is so beautiful, you don’t need much compression.” TC Electronic Corona Chorus+ I’m a big fan of that big compressed sound, where you can hear the strings ringing out with a bell-like quality and with sustain. “This is a compressor used for just my clean sounds, like on Take The Time. The clean sound of the Boogie is so beautiful, you don’t need much compression The Majesties also have a 20dB boost on the volume control! So we really don’t need these, but in the spirit of fun, we thought we’d include a little something extra.” TC Electronic Hyper Gravity ![]() ![]() With all the features of my Boogie, I don’t really need an overdrive pedal. “Sometimes there’ll be a Keeley Red Dirt here or a modded Tubescreamer or a Boogie model. The overdrives probably change the most in my rig. It has six different modes for all these different overdrives, which you can mix together at the same time. “This is my newest pedal, I got it pretty recently. There are little clean guitar breaks here and there, rather than the long, arpeggiated song intros, which have a more of a chorus thing going on.” Strymon Sunset The Helix phaser will come on for a short lead in The Bigger Picture and I might use it a little on Take The Time. “I love the Phase 90 too, I like the Boss phaser and the MXR one… but I’m a big fan of TC Electronic stuff. Right now, it’s primarily TC stuff - and this is signature Dreamscape modulation pedal, which does chorus, flanger and vibrato… If I ever need to switch, we go old school and do it all by hand on the fly.” TC Electronic Helix Phaser “My pedals tend to change a bit over the years. It’s a throaty, aggressive wah that sounds like a monster!” TC Electronic Dreamscape In the end, I realised the rack wah sound was my favourite. “When I went to develop it, they had sent me all the other signature ones… I tried them all and took notes about the things I’d liked about each one. “I’m not being a salesman… my wah is fuckin’ badass! The sound comes from the rack wah, which we had made into a pedal. (Image credit: James Sharrock/Future) Pedalboard Jim Dunlop JP95 Cry Baby Wah
