Ireneo Funes posted:I have two questions: The 1 Spot will buzz like a mf'ing devil if you hook up more than one inverse polarity pedal to it, though, because it's got a single groundloop is the way I understand it. Also you'll get a whine if you have too much current being drawn; most digital pedals take a few hundred mA while a lot of overdrives take as low as 10 mA. If you just want a bunch of dirt pedals hooked up to it, 1 should be fine, but if you're gonna have a couple Moogerfoogers (or other inverse polarity pedals) or a bunch of digital stuff you could just get two 1 Spots. Or three or four, depending on your needs.  (also a great feature of the one spot is that you only need a physical adapter to have it work basically anywhere in the world, no need for a voltage convertor or anything)

Thank you. 1 spot 1 spot 1 spot 1 spot Ireneo Funes posted:I think I should be fine seeing as how all I really use is overdrives/tuner/distortion/reverbs. I wish I had the money for a couple of Moogerfoogers though... Yeah, a single one should do ya unless y're running like 5 digital reverbs on top of a bunch of dirt. Also yes on Moogerfoogers, I saved up over a month apiece for the ring mod and filter and at least three months for the delay  (also if anybody wants to spend too much money on an incredible mono trem pedal get the Moog ring mod, best and most varied trem i've ever heard)

Just dont tell boss that you didn't use theirs; they're real picky about using only Roland things and would probably say that voids yr warranty. Also, get a Moog EP-1 or the like with an extra pot on the side or somewhere so you can set the sweep range of the exp pedal.

Every drum machine I've used lets you set an amount of swing on it. I probably wouldn't want to use one for anything approaching traditional jazz performance, but I'm sure it'd be fine for practicing. nb: i haven't used a whole lot of drum machines but the ones I have used are at the bottom end of the price range so I cant imagine a nice one lacking it.

schlieren, with just two pickups i dont see why you'd need the pickup selector and the blend pot, have you considered 2 independent volumes and a pickup selector? if you wire that right it wont cut off in the middle position if one's down to zero (this is just a peculiarity of gibson's wiring iirc) also what kind of guitar are you doing this on? i doubt you'll be able to do it on a standard tele because it'll require a decently sized control cavity. also if you've got a split coil you might do better to use an on/off/on switch instead of a pickup selector to invert its coils' phase

You're not really likely to find anything at a hardware store that'd be suitable for nut files, assuming you want to do a good job. The reason they're expensive is because they're precision tools; stewmac is a ripoff though. Look for a set of Ibanez files, I picked mine up for ~$75 hardly touched from another tech who preferred his other set. Ask the techs at local guitar shops and see if they have any, barring that google around, they tend to go for under $100 new and they're great files to use.

Nelsocracy posted:Does anyone know the basic differences between the different Fender Twin models (Blackface, red knobs, silverface, reissue, reverb, etc)? I've done some research but the only thing I can find is that they were made in different time periods and have "different circuitry" as well as cosmetics. I'm a little confused as to why certain models are worth much more (Blackface). They tend to sound really great clean and weigh half a ton (btw I've actually got a Music Man Sixty-Five 210 (65W, 2 10" spkrs, very imaginative name) that's basically the Music Man version of the Twin I'm looking to sell)

If it wasnt' an Ovation it'd be easy to stick your hand thru the soundhole and feel the wood from the unfinished inside of it, but with that... Definitely slacken the strings and take it to a decent tech asap

I'm not feeling curious enough to break out my high level google fu on this but I know we have some major ehx fans here; does anyone know if the foot controller for the 2880 would work with the HOG (or any other ehx unit) by any chance? I'm thinking about getting some kind of midi foot controller for the 2880 since the firmware upgrade makes that look really attractive and was wondering if that (possibly at some point to be-spare) piece of kit would still have any use ?

Gorilla Salsa posted:As an EHX fanboy, I can tell you that they do almost anything they can to save money. The space drum, one of their less popular pedals, was only allowed on the product line because the designer managed to fit it in a Big Muff Pi enclosure. The reason this is relevant is because if the two controllers were the same, EHX could just slap two jacks on it, label it a foot controller and call it a day, as opposed to labeling them differently. I imagine that's what the case would be if they were the same.

Looks like a teisco del rey (these were rebadged with a million different names, got one with some girly name I need to change the nut on for sbody) It doesnt have the gold foil pickups which can go for a few bucks but looks like its in decent shape. It's worth around a hundred bucks, assuming the electronics are fine

Bubba Fuzz posted:I have a guitar related question, and this seems like a reasonable place for it. My ESP EC1000 has been giving me some trouble. Playing anything past the 12th fret sounds terrible, especially on the high strings. The notes buzz and are out of tune. At first, I thought it was an intonation issue, so I tried to make adjustments. Then I noticed that even my 12th fret harmonics were out of tune. This is the first time I've encountered this, and didn't even realize it could happen. quote:I suspect it needs a truss rod adjustment, probably from me moving it around so much in the past year. Adjusting the truss rod is simple enough, but I know I could really screw something up. Is it worth it to try to do it myself, or should I just have it professionally serviced? I'm obviously not going to go making random adjustments, and I'll make sure I know what I'm doing before I mess with anything, but I'd like to save some money and do it myself if it makes sense. Dont touch your truss rod, its unlikely that its the issue here. Your guitar needs a setup from someone with experience. If you can find a tech without a major workload, he might even let you watch so you pick up some pointers

CalvinDooglas posted:Fret wear: how much is too much? When you start fretting out* you need to replace your frets. Until then, a good buffing wont hurt. Next time you need to change strings, go ahead and take them all off and rub each fret with a green scouring pad and then wipe your fingerboard down with rubbing alcohol. That should smooth things out enough that you wont have any trouble bending. *for clarification, I mean when a string buzzes very bad on a particular fret despite havig set up the action very well.

I know the pentatonic shapes, but I don't know a good way of chaining them together. I mean, I tend to switch up to the next shape only when I run out of scale when reach the top of the previous one, which, as I understand, isn't the most efficient position to change shape.
