All the carbon copys are awesome. I like the "Bright" version, analog delays are always way too dark in my opinion.

The CC is a pedal I will most likely keep on my board forever. Planning on upgrading to the deluxe sometime but that’s it.

Dude, this pedal might be what you're looking for. It's an analog pedal and it has a FILTER knob that does low pass if you turn it couter-clockwise, and high pass the other way. I have mine dialed to about 10 o'clock in my picture of the board, zoomed in here:  That definitely has a nice noticeable growl to it vs 12, and dialing into 3 really makes the treble shine; it's quite responsive. For Christ's sake the thing is already covered in dog hair not even 4 hours on my floor.  edit: price was around 250 CAD new. Not too shabby for analog 3s+ with looper. former glory fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jul 17, 2019 |

I enjoy mucking with Delays to the point that pretty much all the patches in my POD HD have them, even though, realistically speaking, only in the post-rock band do I use reverb and Delay in any way, shape or form beyond of solos/melodies.

I have been looking fore a long time to buy a P90 guitar, an LP style guitar, and I have always wanted to own a Gibson. I managed to find a single guitar that is all of those things. Bought this about 2 or 3 weeks ago (ironically right in the middle of the "play authentic" controversy). This is a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Tribute in ebony. It came up for sale locally at a price I couldn't pass up. The plastic bits I am pretty sure are all aftermarket as they would normally come as cream. But that is fine since I probably would have done the same eventually anyway.  I had some misgivings about buying LPs for a few reasons. I owned an Agile LP copy a long time ago towards the beginning of my playing and just didn't like it. It was heavy, the upper frets were hard to access, and it just didn't "feel" right in my hands or on my body. My strumming arm always felt uncomfortable against the edge of the body. I don't feel like I have any of those issues with this guitar. The guitar must be weight relieved because it feels like it is in the 8 lbs range, and as light or lighter than either of my double cut LPs. In addition although it is carved top, I don't think it has a maple top, just mahogany. It plays amazingly well and getting to the upper frets don't seem all that hard to get to, especially after a bit of practice. I am not sure if it is a 50s or 60s tribute, but the neck feels between my Hamer, which is a super thin neck, and my Agile DC LP, which has a huge neck. So definitely middle of the road and perfect for the guitar it is on. I still have a bit of an issue with getting the sharp edge on my forearm, but I have a feeling that I will figure that out with enough practice or adjustments. And it mostly seems to effect me when standing while playing, which I don't do much anymore. As far as the way it sounds, it is exactly what I was looking for and expecting in a P90 guitar. The only unexpected thing is that the Gibson P90s do not appear to be reverse wound, so the middle position is not hum cancelling. I am assuming this is because it is how the original Gibson P90s were made?

Professor Science posted:stereo memory man is digital. you have to buy the memory man 1100TT if you want 1s+ analog delays, and it's almost $400. Cool, I stand corrected. I thought that all the Men pedals were analog for some reason. I guess that explains the stellar value.

Congratulations! I bought an ebony 50's tribute when they first came out and it's still one of the guitars I most enjoy playing. Wasn't a huge fan of the light relic that came from the factory, but grew to accept it as they designed it to be in places that an audience cant really see much of anyway. All of the tribute series have maple caps and are weight relieved. The pickups aren't reverse wound, which I think is a nod to the originals as I don't think they were standard (even in Fenders) until the eighties.

I picked up one of these this week: It's a TC-Helicon Perform-VK vocal effects unit and harmoniser. It has a really good auto EQ/Compressor/De-esser, some great reverbs as well as a really natural pitch correction. It also has automatic harmonising, so you can play a chorded instrument into the unit and it will harmonise the vocals based on the chords. But what blows me away is that you can actually play the notes you want to sing on the keyboard, sending it to the unit via MIDI... and just speak into the microphone. It's a great bit of kit. (Quick demo of me playing my new choir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9BPK8chLw, mucking around with the male to female pitch shift at the end) fuctifino fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jul 20, 2019 |

I plugged in the Linnstrument+Micromonsta and the drum kit into the looper last night and had a long stoned jam using the headphones. It was 3am, and I guess all my neighbours could hear was loud gargling, sighs and shouts. When I was soloing vocals, I noticed that I was half-singing around a 5th out of tune, due to not being able to hear myself properly. It's a truly amazing gadget, and so simple to use (which is great for my CFS addled brain). fuctifino fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Jul 21, 2019 |

Trig Discipline posted:Man that sounds fun as hell. Seriously thinking about picking one up. They do 4 in the range. A basic one for solo vocalists, one for guitar or other chorded instruments (where it auto harmonises), one for sampling/DJ'ing and this one. This also auto harmonises based on audio chorded input, but I actually prefer playing the notes on the keyboard via midi. You can also pitch bend and add vibrato using the mod wheel on the keyboard. It's the most fun musical gadget I've ever stumbled across. The possibilities it gives me are endless. I was looping Tibetan throat chanting last night and adding a Portishead-type female vocal over the top (just an octave pitch shift + some warbly fx)... then at a press of a button, I can get my Gregorian choir. Get one. You know you want one. Why haven't you got one yet?  e: Finally got the rig 'finished'. Rig porn:

Decided it was time to buy an interface as my synth collection has been growing since everything is affordable these days. Saw Amazon had a Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD "cosmetic damage" for $100. Got it delivered in two days. There is nothing wrong with it. Looks fine. No chips, no scratches. Hooked it up and found out real quick the type of cabling you use is very important. I hooked up my CraftSynth and it was so quiet. Apparently I should be using 3 tip stereo cable or it'll cancel the signal out. So I tried a mono/patch cable and that works fine. Hooked the TB-3 up and that works fine. Their AISO driver is so stupidly simple and streamlined AISO4ALL should take a look at it and take notes. Delay seems to be incredibly small. 6ms. Audio quality is good. Sounds great through speakers and my headphones. No noise whatsoever. For a bedroom setup this is great.  lovely iphone audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9f9VVOiF4s

Thanks for giving me a little more info on the instrument. I assumed the "relic" parts of it were just a combination of light/inexpensive paint job and being slightly worn over time from playing. It looks like the only places that you can see bare-ish wood is on where the binding would be on the body and some slight "ware" on the back of the neck. Seems pointless if that was done on purpose. Maybe just part of finishing (sanding buffing etc)? I know these were given less coats of paint to reduce painting and drying times as part of getting the low price point. After playing it a bit more, I am going to guess that this is a 60s Tribute because the neck is starting to feel on the smaller side. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I think I *might* have preferred to have the larger 50s neck. Additionally, I just notice that there is a crack in the finish where the fretboard meets the neck and body at the 16th fret. This crack runs up to the 9th fret or so. I can feel the crack with my thumb if I rub over it, but it seems to fade as it gets closer to the 9th fret. Is this common and nothing to worry about, or a reason to return it? I have another 20 or so days to get a full refund. I don't know that it would come out well in a picture, but I might try to take one, if I can find good light. Edit: Added some pictures. Don't know if there is much to see in them though.

Yeah, these used the less-expensive satin finish that Gibson used on all of their entry-level models. The relic was intentional though as the same relic areas appear on all of the models of the time. Two on the lower bout, two on the horn, and a larger patch on the back of the neck. There are pictures floating around here that I took of my fresh-off-the-line guitar that have them. I'm not exactly sure why they did it, but my feeling is that Gibson made these to compete with the Road Worn series Fender released.

Picked up a Big Baby Taylor today. This one was made in 2002 in the El Cajon, CA factory. It's much nicer than my Ovation (which I thrifted and will be selling). It projects super well for such a little guy. And it's photogenic.

 Picked up a Peavey VIP 2 yesterday, this thing slaps! For $250, I'm pretty impressed with it's modern metal tones. Been able to decently recreate my djent/sludge AxeFX amps already, and holy poo poo can this thing get loud! Bass tones are pretty good too; it can nail the clacky crunchy metal bass tones I love, and also pulls off smoother tones as well. My roommate has one of the Yamaha THR10s, was thinking of grabbing the X version, but the GC didn't have one in stock and this was $50 cheaper. While it's nowhere near as portable, I feel like this was a good buy and I can actually jam with it too! Next up will be the Sanpera 2 footswitch, dying to access the looper this thing has!

Fresh out of the box Firefly doublecut LP Jr in yellow. Tuned it up and played a little. Action is high, not sure if there is enough adjustment in the bridge to get it down much further, but the neck also might have a little too much relief from a quick eyeball. Hopefully I can get it where I like it. Fretboard looks dry, but nothing major. No fret buzz, but that's with the high action. Tuners seem much better than on the the hollowbody, we'll see how well they work. No noticeable finish flaws so far, but I haven't had time to really look for any, either. Electronics are probably cheap crap, but there's no noise other than what would be expected from a P90. For $130, I doubt you could do better.

 A few months ago I got back into guitar after a long period of not playing, I bought myself a Harley Benton JA-60 and while I really love it for the price I missed having a tremolo. Guitar to the right is a birthday present, a Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one.

Gonna kinda answer my own question here. It turns out this is a common problem with Gibson instruments from this time period (2010-2012). There was a flood and some of the wood from that flood was not dried fully before being used. Most of the posts I can see about it indicates someone trying to return the guitar. In almost all cases Gibson replaced the guitar. Unfortunately, this would only be covered under the original warranty and for the original owner of the guitar. I can't find much information on if this is a problem long term or if it is just cosmetic, but I don't want to have an expensive repair bill down the line or worse have a Gibson brand paperweight. It pains me to say this, but I think I am going to return it. Which is too bad because I was starting to really love the guitar. But hey, there are other Les Pauls out there, and now I know at least one other thing to look out for when getting one. I will probably try and do a little more research and make a post at a Les Paul forum to see what they say.
