MPC 4 - Tank Tone (Tank Sound)
Review by Mike C I just got one of these modules recently (after 20 or so years). I guess they try to replicate a reverb tank. I like the sound, especially in combination with the Phase Shifter, but this module seems to lower your overall volume. Crank it up from your normal setting if you want to use the Tank. Review by Steve H This is not a reverb module of any kind. Think of this as a "fixed wah pedal." Just as if you set your wah pedal in one position, a la Randy Rhodes. That's what this module is supposed to do. It doesn't do it very well. If you had some amazing right hand technique, I guess you could try to move the knob while you play to get a wah wah effect, but the placement of the effect knobs on MPC guitars does not encourage this. I think it's called Tank Tone because the type of EQ filter that's used to create the effect in many wah pedals (the whole Vox/Crybaby design) is known as a tank circuit. Review by Webmaster Playing around with this module a bit more and reading the factory description, I'd have to agree with Steve's conclusions. If you strike a note and spin the control knob it does sound a lot like a wah pedal. This module gives some pretty cool tones, but I still can't find a use for them :-) |
