Comment on Saturday Project: Arrange the Studio and Re-arrange My Pedal Board… by GuitarGear.org

I suspect your modulation pedals sound better through one amp rather than the other. For that, you could keep those in switching loops dedicated only to a specific amp or have those on completely different chains altogether. I was thinking something like this diagram: The switching system could still work on individual pedals or whatever combinations you want, but the pedal topology would dictate what pedal plays through what amp.

Thank you for sharing the pedal line up – I struggle with the what goes where. There have been moments! Furman and others might want to consider some more advanced switching options such that I can have all of my pedals on the board and then select which ones are in circuit (it would save me having to do it). At issue are the various delays and over drives. The next problem is at the amp end. I play in stereo, on one side a Marshall on the other a Mesa. Some pedals sound better through on amp rather than the other. The guitars are of course mono (ahhh there in lies the answer – need to jack them out through a stereo jack and then have a split signal at the get go – but how do you work two wahs simultaneously?). Well if it was easy I guess everybody would be doing it!

Thanks for listening but I am more than open hear what others have to say about what must be a common problem. And Dog – good luck with the re-org – there is always more work to it than meets the eye (and then the spouse takes a look see….) — Ron

OMG! Can’t believe I have a 3 Tone Bones rating here. As it goes, this would’ve never made it onto the site. I may try it out again and see how it goes.

sorry…I got the numbers wrong…

It would be:

1 o’clock output
12 o’clock attack
10 o’clock Threshhold

oh and btw this compressor is so off the map and so good, if you can find one, i would recommend trying it. I used to think I hated all Compressors until I stumbled on this one. It has the original chip from the Ross Compressor, and is so mellow.

I use and love the BBE BENCHPRESS Ross Compressor clone. I only use it on my Roadworn and California Series Strats with Tex Mex’s, but what it does to those pickups is beautiful. If set right knobs at 11,10,&9 it’s Gilmour tone and then becomes my favorite single coil pups, out of the 5 strats I own.
I’ve been playing for 25 years was signed to MCA Records in 94’ and just thought this might help someone.
God Bless

Ola! Guitargear,
This might be off topic, however, If you’re looking for a guidebook to a woman’s heart, then read on because that’s exactly what it’s in store for you here. Pretty much every man in the world is on a constant search for a companion to have and hold. The problem is that woman won’t just cozy up to anyone – you need to have something to offer her if you want her to be with you.
BTW great blogpost

Interesting story, but a more likely explanation why your popular music is not a widely accepted as your gospel stuff it that religious people are far less likely to criticize gospel music for fear that it may be construed as criticizing god.

Looks interesting but it would take some fancy processing to transform my out of tune whining. Imagine my singing with the out of tune harmonies. It would have all the local cats and dogs whining in pain.

Comment on The Best Lesson on Modes I Have Ever Seen by Gary Lacey

Gary Lacey — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:19:12 +0000

That’s a great find. Thanks. I’ve had the same trouble as you understanding modes. I understand that they use the same notes starting at a different note and played over a different chord but never been able to use it.
This is the best I’ve ever seen it explained and demonstrated. I’m going to give modes another go.
If you’re interested in guitar theory google “scott collins guitarchitecture” without the quotes.
“derryl gabel fretboard intensive training” again without the quotes is another good one.
Both of these go prety deep but the Vinnie Moore videos are so much easier.

Comment on SCORE!!! A Fernandes Late 80′s MIJ for $100! by Blake

Blake — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:46:44 +0000

Pretty sure Ash Bowie used a MIC Fernandes for ‘Cor-Crane Secret,’ so I’d love to have one. That said, I’ve seen tons on Ebay — one, as low as $40, but the OP’s is in pure white. I’ve never seen one in pure white. The $100 may have been a steal if white is as rare as I think it is. Even if it’s not THAT rare, it’s still relatively rare and worth the $100 at least.

Security gears are very relevant in any sort of action specifically for the intense kinds. This is on the grounds that of the challenges concerned. A person wrong move can outcome to severe damage. It can be deadly as clearly. The basic safety gears serve as shield for many who indulge by themselves in this variety of exercise.
