I keep hearing this term thrown around (especially regarding D-type pedals) and I'm wondering what it sounds like.
I had a set of TimWhite humbuckers that had chirp. A pleasant high frequency tone with a slight hint of harmonic feedback to the notes. Usually very sensitive to pick attack light or hard. The notes seem to jump out and have a clean musical quality to them not unlike the chirping of a songbird.
:42 and 1:30 are pretty good examples. My favorite RF tone is the outro solo of 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'
Here are a couple of good quotes from 2011 threads on the subject:
Ohhhh. That sound. Thanks
Hmmm, I don't really like that sound, it always seems to stick out in a bad way whenever I play lead lines higher on the neck, especially if I'm hitting the same string/note repeatedly. How could I decrease this sound in terms of technique and equipment?
turn down the treble either on the pedal, the amp or your guitarHow could I decrease this sound in terms of technique and equipment?
yeah that is funny! i dont like that sound either! i get it too much with certain combinations of pedals.Ohhhh. That sound. Thanks

Is there anything like the Dude out there (that thick, ballsy low mids you can dial in or out, medium to high gain, great for power chords or leads) without the chirp?
A Chirp is to a Cheep as a Queep is to a Peep.
