mami seems to be getting new stuff ...

Perhaps Mami's GAS(Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) is acting up again? LOL
Though it looks like they're just talking about amps.

anyone knows what are the effects that mami used in scandal x budokan?

After saw above picture from Rina's blog, now I can confirm how great Rina is on playing single pedal !! Oh, man, I've been searching for this close-up pic to confirm my curiosity since I heard Genkai Lovers.. I thought she modified her drums or might be using double pedal..

Replying to atamarashi on SCANDAL blog thread, I'd like to explain lil bit regarding this. Though I'm not a drummer, but I knew about it a liiiiil' bit. So, please correct me if i'm wrong..
Although we couldn't see the right foot pedal, but I could confirm that she's using single pedal. Usually, if using double pedal on single bass drum sets like the one Rina used, there'd be one more pedal next to the hi-hat pedal. This pedal connected to the bass drum by a single bar. See below pics..

Yup,on Genkai Lovers, she hit the bass drum with the pedal twice (bass drum1x-snare-bass drum2x -snare),but she hit it a lil bit faster and it sounds like double pedal. Maaan,she's fast!
And by the way, floor tom is placed on the right side of the drummer, like the toms but it's more bigger..

@jigoku79:
Sorry I took so long to reply, I understand a lot better on what you were saying about the single pedal now. Rina has been drumming quite well with just a single pedal, I can't wait to hear it live when the new album is released.

Ahh yeah, that's what the floor tom is, haha. I got the names mixed up for some reason.

Still speaking of Rina's drum kit, I wonder why the toms above her bass drum were changed to just one rather than the usual two that you'd see on a standard kit?

^
Well, I can't give you exact answer about that, hehe..Have to ask Rina, I guess..
As far as I know one of Rina's favorite drummer is Nao Kawakita of Maximum The Hormone..
Nao use one toms only on her drumset, which is maybe Rina copy that into her own set..The love of the drummers? ..Many factors that would made her do that, actually..Simplicity reasons, maybe?..v^_^

Note: I knew Nao as Rina's favorite drummer from here. If you have reached 50 posts, you can view the link..(^_^)

did mami used an auto wah/envelope filter for shunkan sentimental here? (or im just imagining things?! .whistle. )but ive never seen her having an auto wah/envelope filter with her effects setup?! .stars.

Does anyone know what headset microphones they use?

what bass is this i`ve never seen it it`s from daydream live

Some kind of p-bass. That's my good guess. Probably just a loaner since it doesn't appear often in her roster of basses.

I think it's actually her silver Precision Bass, but before it was painted to her custom design. It has the same maple fretboard. I believe Mami also did a similar thing where she played her HSS Stratocaster, still unpainted, on the Best Scandal DVD.

@jigoku. thanks for the reply about rina's kit sorry for the late reply... by the way... rina is really good in single pedal.. she never used double pedal that's why i love her, her foot technique is really damn great.... about her kit, maybe she modified that because most of rock kit or jazz kit is like that

hm by the way did rina use her drumset on kill the virgin ? just wondering cause i really can hear the full drum in this song T_T

@yukime213
Rina use her drumset on kill the virgin, she said about it on her blog. It was recorded as a monotony drums sampling. ..

@davezz
Well, you're not alone, I heard that auto-wah too..seems that her guitar tech has modified one of her stompbox/digital effect..I've search about it, and the auto-wah filter can be applied to her Nova delay. I read about that somewhere, I forgot though..hehe.
On their latest album, I also seems to heard a lil' pitchshifter effect on 'Koe' or maybe I'm wrong..

@320x200
I've search and found that Rina use audio-technica BP892cw-TH wireless headset on her drums workshop session..maybe the girls use that too..

@jigoku! wow! very nice info! so thats why there are some video without that effect. thanks! that nova is a badass! \m/

I knew it, first thing that came to my mind is that "I wonder if they use kaoss pad on kill the virgin, with those crazy effects going on?" and I was right... lol

Nice find, cherry! ..Hmm, KAOSS PAD eh? I didn't thought Haruna will use that. I thought it'd be looping music instead..and I also thought Rina will use Prophet 5, but she use Roland Juno G instead for the tour.

Since it looks like Tomo's new bass is a Yamaha BB424X (thanks to guiltyeyes) I found it's specifications...

Ah, it looks like it's actually a Yamaha BB2024X instead. Sorry for the mix-up! But they're so similar; appearance-wise, pretty much the only thing that sets them apart is the small writing on the headstock. haha.



Its specifications are also exactly the same.

Anyone knew the red effect (might be pitch shifter/volume, etc..) that Mami used on below pic?
I just notice about this lately. Well, the black one should be Vox Wah 847, but the red one..hmm. Digitech maybe? ..I kinda think she use it on Koe, since I heard a lil' pitch shifter in the end of her solo.. (or maybe I'm wrong..)

Maybe a whammy pedal ?
It looks really similar to this one :

Hmmm, yeah it really looks like it.. Thanks for the clue, bro! ..
