GUITAR / AMP SETTINGS

The effects in Captain Coconut 2 are just part of a chemistry that happens between

your guitar, your effects, and your amp. Here are some tips for dialing in some of the

best sounds.

Avoid using effects that do not have "true bypass" -

production guitar effects (and some of the more expensive ones) don't really bypass

your guitar's signal when they're not in use. Most of the small DOD/BOSS/IBANEZ/

DANO type effects use active switching. This means that your guitar's signal is pass-

ing through circuitry even when the effect is bypassed. This results in added noise and

an altered tone. Also, since the FuzzFoot works best when it receives the direct output

of a guitar pickup, an effect with active switching placed between the guitar and the

FuzzFoot can kill the tone. It's most noticeable when using the guitar's volume knob

to get a clean tone. With active switching, this won't work so well. Effects with passive,

non-true bypass switching will simply cut your guitar's level and dull its high end. This

might not be noticeable with one effect, but when several are patched together, the

effects of loading become very noticeable. Captain Coconut uses audio relays for true

bypass switching. The foot switches carry no audio - their purpose is to activate/deac-

tivate the relays. There's a certain tone you get when you plug your guitar directly

into your amp. If you want to retain that tone when all of your effects are bypassed,

avoid non-true bypassed effects at all costs.

Guitar/amp settings -

Captain Coconut 2 is very versatile and will sound great with

a wide variety of guitars and amps, but if you're looking for some of the more famil-

iar "vintage" tones associate with CC2's effects, there are some basic guidelines to

follow.

Guitar -

There's nothing like the single coil pickups of a Fender Stratocaster for cre-

ating some of the greatest rock & blues guitar sounds. This works especially well with

Captain Coconut 2. A Strat sounds heavenly when run through the Provibe in Chorus

mode. For Vibrato mode, try using the middle pickup for the best results. Also, the

"volume knob clean up" feature of the FuzzFoot works much better with single coil

pickups than it does with humbuckers. Active pickups can drive the inputs of all three

effects so hard that they distort - in a bad way.

AMP -

While there are plenty of great sounding solid state amps available today,

you'll still get the best results with a tried and true tube amp. Whether you're into

Marshal's, Fenders, or any of the awesome boutique amps out there, nothing can

beat the natural compression and distortion you get from an overdriven, loud tube

amp, especially when it's fed by a Captain Coconut 2. For the best sounds, dial in a

slightly dark overdriven sound, so that you can go from a chunky rhythm sound, to a

fat lead tone without stepping on any pedals. Then, set up the FuzzFoot for just

enough added drive to push you over the top. Listen to how great the Octave and

Provibe effects sound. If you play through a clean, bright solid state amp, you may

find yourself disappointed with the sounds you get from CC2. Don't do that!

A lot of the cheaper, mass-

Try patching the effects in different orders

Here are some ways to patch Captain Coconut 2. All you need is a couple of

1/4" patch cords to get any order you want. You can also patch other

processors in between the effects. Think of Captain Coconut 2 as three inde-

pendent guitar effects that happen to be mounted next to each other, just

waiting for you to decide how to patch them up. In the meantime they're

already linked together so that you can use it without having to do any

patching. The default order, Octave>FuzzFoot>Provibe is just one of many

valid combinations. Most guitarists never settle for one set order of effects.

The possibilities are endless. If you're looking to duplicate the order that Jimi

used, good luck... he experimented with different orders, just like you will. In

fact, there has been a lot of debate about what order he had his effects

patched in from show to show. The best thing to do is to try different orders

until you find the one that works for you. Here are some basic patches and

how to achieve them. The wah wah pedal is not required

Patch #1:

Guitar>Wah>Octave>FuzzFoot>Provibe>Amp

This is the default setup. No extra patch cords are needed. The

Provibe adds its color to both the Fuzzfoot and the Octave. The

FuzzFoot gives the Octave more gain and sustain. This is a well-

rounded set up that gives great results.

Patch #2:

Guitar>Wah>FuzzFoot>Octave>Provibe>Amp

The Provibe adds its color to both the Fuzzfoot and the Octave.

The Octave takes on a new character by having the Fuzzfoot

before it. Two extra patch cord is needed.

Patch #3:

Guitar>Wah>Octave>Provibe>Fuzzfoot>Amp

This is how the original Captain Coconut is set up. The Octave

is boosted by the FuzzFoot. The Provibe's sound is subtle but

effective when patched before the FuzzFoot, and the FuzzFoot is

on. Two extra patch cords are required.
