Sure I mean why the hell not. One of the Bobs from Devo did some hosed up LP body modifications. And then there was Mark's guitar from the early days...

Evertune is just a weird trem that doesn't go out of tune as easily, it has nothing to do with temperament. Is the wiggly frets things a temperament thing? I thought it was just compensating for the fact that you have to bend strings (towards the fretboard) in order to feet anything, so this lets you fret in even temperament more accurately across the neck. edit who knew Willy was playing with true tune this whole time?

As far as I can tell "true temperament" has nothing to do with temperament, it's just more accurate intonation. "True" isn't a temperament the way even or well or Pythagorean are. The problem with fretted instruments is you have to push the string down against the fretboard, which adds tension and increases the pitch. With fretless lute-like instruments like the viola family you can compensate by putting your finger in a lightly different place, there isn't a metal fret there defining exactly where it'll be pinched off. Even temperament has the notes divided evenly across the octave. This means that the intervals between notes are consistent, relatively speaking. Even tempered instruments can comfortably play in any key for this reason, the gap between a and b is the same as the gap between eb and f. There are some issues with this. For one thing, the natural harmonics in a note are not exactly lined up. The second harmonic of A4 (440hz) is 1320hz. E6, which is the fifth an octave up, is 1318.51hz. The difference for non-octave harmonics gets more pronounced the higher you go, and playing wider or more rich chords introduces a bunch of close conflicting frequencies. edit the other reason I think it's kind of silly is the pitch of a string changes after you strike it, there harder you strum or pick the more sharp the note will sound, with it eventually dropping as it rings out. If you're going to be trem picking you should probably tune down slightly to compensate. Baron von Eevl fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jan 24, 2023 |

Actuary X posted:Yeah it seems like you wouldn't be able to play along with other instruments unless they were set up the same way. You're going to be out of tune with them on some notes. Again, I think the point of wiggly frets is just to be closer to even temperament, basically to counteract the problems inherent to the way guitars are built. It makes you less out of tune with a piano, effectively.

This is almost the guitar Bach would loved most because it's absurd and extremely fussy, but the fact that it's not in well temperament would have turned him off entirely.

I used to work big box retail and our dumpster was 1) locked inside the building in a loading dock and 2) full of lots of broken glass and corporate still wanted us to spray red paint all over anything that went in there to discourage people rummaging through it.

Yeah, if you have the easy means to record both your DI and what you're listening to when you cut it, there can be a value there. What you're hearing when you record is going to impact your playing and the vibe or mojo or whatever, and it's a good idea to build the track around that if you want the guitars to be center stage. That said, sometimes you want a little heavily limited clean channel mixed in with the fuzz to give it some clarity and you don't notice that until you're mixing.

syntaxfunction posted:I used to have an old Yamaha OD10MII overdrive that was great, but then modded it to have a voltage choke switch and it loving ruled as a fuzz. Output was lower but just ran a boost after it lol The real gem is leaving the overdrive on and putting the boost before it for when you want a distortion bordering on fuzz.

OutOfPrint posted:In the daw plugin world, Audio Assault released a fart pedal plugin and JST put out a plugin with 6 knobs that do absolutely nothing to preserve a mix when the client is watching and says the vibes aren't right. One of my teachers used to do something like that with rack gear, there was one preamp that just had a giant unlabeled knob. He wouldn't patch anything through it, but if the A&R rep was getting in the way he'd be like "buddy I really need a hand with this. You gotta turn this knob up every other snare hit, okay?" It'd keep them busy and you could get them to think it was doing whatever they needed to get the vibes right.
