krisis posted:Seeing how awesome RSPsych0's Les Paul looked, I decided to check some of them out at the local guitar shop. Keep the pickguard. I'm curious how yours sounds compared to mine. I know on mine they layered the wood differently (since it's a Custom), and my asssumption was thatthe pickups were higher quality, but I can't guarantee that.

I can't believe I waited so long to buy an LP. What the hell happened to that guitar on the far right? 3 Action Economist fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jan 28, 2007 |

Hey, look, I get to post twice in this thread! I really need to clean up the cabling, but I was too excited when I got the pedal to bother being neat. I just wanted to play.

Hamer777 posted:How do those things work? There's a small horn in the box that pushes the guitar sound (overdriven) through the tube. The tube goes into your mouth, so all the sound reverberates in your cavernous maw. As you move your lips, tongue, and vocal chords (that's a tip!), the guitar sound is shaped like your voice would be in the microphone.

Or look at my earlier post with me Epiphone Les Paul Custom, which is pretty much exactly like yours. Black with gold is the way to go.

You don't want a studio. They're called that because they're cheaper on ths insides. They're not built for heavy use, basically. I like that doublecut, but the Explorer is nice, too. It depends on your style, I think.

Mugendai posted:That looks cool. How good are those at replicating actual instrument sounds? I figure you can do all sorts of awesome synthy stuff with them, but if they can do a fairly good replication of actual saxophone sounds with the right software, that could be really usefull for me. It's just a conttroller, it doesn't make any sounds at all. You'd just need a good MIDI device that had good brass sounds but, um, I've never really heard one. Even the high end stuff isn't as expressive and human as a real brass instrument. 3toes posted:Guitar Rig 2 software edition.

keratas posted:Thanks for that help but I read that the Pods accept 1.2A minimum and 2A maximum when it comes to power, I'm not sure if 2.2A will blow it up to kingdom come, the 1A won't power it ive been told. A transformer's amp rating is the maximum it will put out, but it only puts out as much as needed.

Since I sold my amp to buy my Pod X3, I needed some way to be able to play through a computer:

pennywisdom posted:Don't the X3's have USB recording capabilities? Sort of, but at least with the XTL, you couldn't listen to it live without a special program that had horrible latency. And I can use this box for my other recording needs, too.

Spaceship Zero posted:Whaa? Not true. I've used my xt live for recording and playing live and have needed no such special program. You could hear it through your computer while you were recording?

I have the Pod X3 Live, but when that came out I was sorely tempted. But then I like the amp modeling of the Pod.

Well, I finally got a good deal and committed to this: I have a Pod X3 Live for just about every other effect imaginable, but their pitch bending/harmonizing stuff is, well, less than stellar. It doesn't seem to work well with more than one note, and even then it's iffy. Now the only question is to I put this before or after my Banshee talkbox.

DaFuente posted:Quite obviously, you should put the Whammy after the Talkbox. That way you can divebomb your voice. The talkbox disconnects the audio signal going to the amp when it's on. The sound goes through a mic. So... Cojawfee posted:Shouldn't that be before the talk box? ...would work better for that. And it's likely what I'll try first.

Scarf posted:There is a way around the cut-off. If you have a pedal with stereo or simply a Wet/Dry outs, you can run one to the talkbox and the other on down the chain. That's what I did when I had a Banshee in my bass rig. That way I didn't lose all of the low end of my bass when engaged. A Y-split/cable would work as well. I'm not worried about having the guitar play while I talk, but I did see the new Banshee when I was looking for a link to put in my post. I suppose that could be useful with the Pod X3 since I could set it up to play one tone independently from the talk box.

Carbohydrates posted:I don't know what you guys are talking about, fat necks own. My R8 has a 58 profile neck, which is even larger than their standard round/fat profile. The bigger the better! All my guitarist friends used to bitch about how thick the Gibson necks were, and so when I went to get a new guitar, I basically avoided them. Then I just decided, "You know, I'm here playing all sorts of different guitars, and many of my rock heroes play these, let's just try it." So I don't know if maybe it's just a preference thing, or people don't know what they're missing, but I play guitar -way- better on a thicker neck. I definitely prefer it.
