james90 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Looking at some older unusual Fenders, and saw they put P90s in the strat. What does Jaicen think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Jaicen approves, though that's a bit ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That's not how you're supposed to do it. When it says +1/-1 octave, it's one or the other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoEuI14i9hE intro is switching between the two, main riff is -1 octave, chorus bit is +1 octave, etc And keep in mind that this is the harmonizer setting, rather than the standard one. Ah, thanks so much James. That makes more sense now. Looks like I can't use the Firehawk for it though Guys, what are some good Muse-y FF settings that don't pick up radio signal? The Radio Fuzz on the instruction sheet (10 7 10 12 5) picks up crazy radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Finally tried the new kind of irn bru today . Guys, what are some good Muse-y FF settings that don't pick up radio signal? The Radio Fuzz on the instruction sheet (10 7 10 12 5) picks up crazy radio Probably depends on the amp, but 10, 4, 10, 7, 5 is pretty good to start with (but it doesn't oscillate). Turning the drive up on that and going through a phase 90 sounds insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just don't know how to respond to this Just move it from where its placed, that sometimes stops it from picking up radio stations. Or lowering the Drive and upping the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just don't know how to respond to this sorry I haven't been thinking straight all day. I actually found something I quite like for Exo-Politics - 10 4:30 10:30 10:30 4:30. Does anyone want to check it out and tell me if it's even close?

james90 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Finally tried the new kind of irn bru today . That was a bit anticlimactic. Can't you be a little more like Bs? I wonder if Macaroon has tried it. Just move it from where its placed, that sometimes stops it from picking up radio stations. Or lowering the Drive and upping the Gate. yeah that, but for some reason, I rarely pick up any radio stations on the fuzz factory/fuzz probe. Only time it seems to do that is when the guitar volume is all the way off, and the fuzz is on a certain setting. cables maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 James, I know you're a Jimiholic like me, do you know what happened to his black strat after Monterey? Apparently it's on show here in London, but it looks trashed compared to how it looked in the concert footage. Have you seen it used anywhere after? Also, I've only found footage of him playing a target burst in late '67, none after that when he switches to big headstock maple necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, but if it's in the picture I just found, I wouldn't be able to tell if that was the real one or not. it does look like it though, and if you look at the (not) hi res pictures and videos, it was already pretty trashed when he was playing live. The question is how it got all that additional wear if he stopped using it around mid-late 1967.

Jaicen Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That's essentially what I was wondering, looks like maybe someone else was using it? I'll check the Guitarist article again, I think it said something about it being left with his London manager. I was not sure what colour that was, thought maybe LPB but CAR does seem more likely.

But which of the flavours? And you're absolutely right. I should put a guitar on order now, just so that distracts me from the wait. That's essentially what I was wondering, looks like maybe someone else was using it? I'll check the Guitarist article again, I think it said something about it being left with his London manager. I was not sure what colour that was, thought maybe LPB but CAR does seem more likely. I'm almost certain that it's this guitar. His only maple fretboard guitar at the time (as far as I'm aware) and it has that split down the middle. pretty sure it later became the one that he painted (in a way similar to the monterey strat) and then destroyed in london. I found a picture of the back of that yesterday, and it was definitely a red one, as he got white paint on the back of the neck as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yep same guitar, that's the one with lyrics on the back? It split along the crack you can see in the top pic, probably along the joints in the 3-piece body. You can see the crack is still there in the bottom pic.

nerd herd Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 But which of the flavours? The mysterious irn bru flavour. Don't think a photo MB's Drones tour rack has been posted before (at least not that I can remember). Guessing a Kemper can only use one profile at a time and he's got 3 to mix the Vox, Diezel, etc profiles together? Also 2 whammys (or whammies ) and what looks like a colour box.

You can mic up all the amps and blend them in a mixer into the Kemper if you want the blended tone from all the amps. I've wondered it before and I presume it's maybe because he has an effect that he just wants on one of those amps so they still need to be separate, if you get me? Also maybe one's a backup, although he doesn't seem to have a backup of anything else in the rack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust_relic Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Like Plugging Directly Into a Vintage Console You'd be surprised how many legendary guitar tones were created just by plugging a guitar directly into a vintage mixing console. The JHS Colour Box gives you exactly what you need to re-create classic tones by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, and others. It's a 100% analog design that replicates the input of a vintage Neve console. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ColourBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I know what you mean, like he might have one Kemper set for just the guitar on its own, and the other one/two set with delay or whatever to make a wet dry wet rig...? Yeah, the lack of backups is pretty strange since there were doubles of everything a few years ago. Interesting that whammy IV and DT are both there though, wonder which songs they're each used for.

Yeah exactly that. At least that's the only reason I can think of why he would have 3? And regarding Whammys, presume the 4 is just for standard weeoo whammy and the DT is perhaps for Unsustainable? It first appeared in his rack for T2L and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
