If you truly wanted to pay homage to the Stoner drone gods, you'd rip out the current net pickup and replace it with a Fernandez Sustainer system. Infinite stoned sustain.

I've always wondered how adjust the intonation on a guitar with a bridge like that.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:I've always wondered how adjust the intonation on a guitar with a bridge like that.  With this tailpiece, intonation is basically dead on as long as A) you have 3 wound and 3 unwound strings, so no wound G sets, and B) you have a fairly standard .009, .010, or .011 gauge string set. Get too adventurous with strings or tunings and it won't really work, but keep it "standard" and it's fine, plus you get the benefits of easier bending and no moving parts and all that. I'm a huge fan of wraparound tailpieces AS LONG AS they're on guitars that I don't gently caress with the tuning. edit: And if you do need to intonate a wraparound bridge, there's always options like: Hipshot  Vox  Pigtail  Leo Quan (and knockoffs)  TonePros  Schaller  Wilkinson  And others by Schroeder, Mannmade, Graphtech, etc. Really, too many to even list.

Wark Say posted:That Nux Amp Force pedal: does it do good modeling? I don't really have a frame of reference because I've never owned any of the amps that it models, but it seems fine to me. I've been using the modelling in GarageBand and this seems better sounding - As a plus, I have physical controls instead of having to point and click to change anything.

Buzzo does as he pleases. He also uses solid state amps. HE DOES AS HE PLEASES! edit: I rarely used the bridge pickup on my Jazzmaster when it had original pickups in it, too ice-picky. When I switched to P90s the growl of the bridge pickup is amazing and I'm using it equally. Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 04:51 on May 2, 2017 |

HoF is best because Pike realized 40 minute songs full of slow repetitive riffs are boring and fast metal rules. Also when all else fails take what you're good at and mix it with Motorhead. brb hiding

New stuff! I have an SKB rack with old-as-hell effects devices and such in it that are in various stages of "broken." Now that this arrived today I think I'm gonna clean most of that old junk out and put this in there, along with my old Behringer mic pre-amp and my trusty Alesis 3630. My ART Pro MPA II showed up today. Most of the rack-mount gear I've held in recent years has felt a lot like an empty chassis. Something you could dent easily by squeezing on it a little. Not this thing. It weighs almost 11 lbs. I cannot wait to start working with this thing. I've learned a lot more about Mid/Side mic recording which lead me to researching microphones with figure-8 polar patterns, which is how I came across the MXL R144HE which is arriving tomorrow, along with a double pop-filter. I'm going to try the R144 out on the Blues Jr. (now isolated in a coat closet in the middle of my apartment to avoid noise complaints and to let the amp itself breathe a little). Not mid/side recording for the combo, but I think Mid/Side will be very interesting to try for recording my acoustic, or for background vocals. Since I can't leave well enough alone, I also ordered a pair of Mullard 12AX7s to replace whatever stock tubes are in the ART. Or should I put the Mullards in the Blues Jr. and put a couple of my new JJs in the preamp? Decisions.... Now, the MXL 2008 condenser mic in the picture was an impulse buy, and maybe a poor choice in the "you get what you paid for" department. I got an e-mail about how it was on sale, and as I've never owned or even used a condenser before I let the sales literature lure me into buying it. It wasn't expensive. Then, afterwards, I realized I could have bought it a little cheaper somewhere else. Plus, the reviews I've read since are less than glowing. I should have thought a little harder about that one, maybe. I was, however, very surprised to learn that there's a pretty healthy mod community for these kinds of mics, and this mic might benefit from a cheap improvement to the circuitry if I feel adventurous. I'll think about it after I've actually used the thing. I'm a lot more interested in the R144 because I suspect the vintage-y ribbon-mic timbre will tame the highs on the Blues Jr., and it's rated to something like 130dB so I need not worry about damaging it with SPL from a guitar cabinet. Apparently, they're pretty fragile though and need to be well-cared for (as in, store upright, keep out of wind, don't knock it around, etc.) Incidentally, this bring my total number of microphones all the way up to eight - woah! (One SM57, one EV357B, the 2008, the R144, and four of those wonderful old Realistic PZMs that I'm just really glad I bought when I could. Those things have a million-and-one uses.)

It's a fun little guy, I like him; but I don't use it much and it gets dusty. I think the PODHD is actually pretty nice for practicing, but I never use it now that I have my THR-10. I don't get the vape joke but if it's the metal cylinder in the back, that's a flashlight. *shrug* Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 22:43 on May 3, 2017 |

If you're willing to part ways with the PODHD, send it my way. I use my old PODHD500 basically for my scratch/hood-rat demos and having the old Bean for the desktop would certainly be a heckuva lot more comfortable

I'll keep it in mind. I never actually considered parting with it. I've got the POD, the pedalboard, carrying case, plenty of CAT5 cabling, and the stand for it. I imagine once I get the powered reference monitors I'm looking at, I may get back into playing it more often. DSP LIMIT EXCEEDED

Upgraded from an SPD-30 to the SPD-SX so I could add samples. So far so good, but I wish the SX had the built-in voice library of the SPD-30

When I started using my floor unit the first day I got it like 7-8 years ago, it gave me that message often. Then I realized that I wanted to do everything in one patch, which is dumb. So once I started using the rest of the foot-switches, it was child's play.
