I often hear guys with relatively high end gear get a kind of quot;bloomquot; at the beginning of some notes when soloing. Is this the famous quot;sagquot; that you get from valve rectifiers etc or is it something else that us mere mortals can't do without three trillion dollars worth of gear??
ta lots.

Could we get an example of this quot;bloom?quot; It could just be a rake.

Yeah, that's sag.

It is very difficult to describe. It's as if there is a micro delay associated with the pick scrape and it gives a sort of quot;gblitzquot; noise just before the note comes on song and the note really sings just after it, almost as if there is a rebound effect with a punch into something soft, pillow like, but gritty at the same time.
I'll have a poke around to see if I can get a short clipette with the sound I mean - Tim Pierce comes to mind, amongst others;

here's a clipette (v short), it was zip encoded with stuffit, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem(!)

can you get sweet sag on clean?

I believe you need at least some power tube overdrive to sag an amp.

hmm, that sucks. So there's no way to get squidge clean? Too bad! Could a compressor cop this sound by dulling the attack but increasing release.

Yes and no... the quot;bloomquot; can be emulated by a compressor, but the quot;microdelayquot; would require at the least a very tweakable delay pedal........ But what you´re describing in post 4 is definitely the quot;sagquot; of a tube amp

but the quot;gblitzquot; you´re describing reminds me more of pick noise somehow....
