Neil. Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Ah ok. Yeah that should work. Although, if you're losing subtleties in your tone, boosting isn't going to bring them back. It's not really subtleties, it's moreso that the volume and strength of the signal goes way down. At the moment, i'm just evening it out with a SHO at about 50%, but even that's too much gain cos the SHO isn't a clean boost. The .73 yellow ones. Dunlop .73 Tortex's.

Neil. Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 yeah, doesn't make any difference. it's grand for the moment. i'll build a box, and try a microamp and a lpb-1 on it and see. or maybe a tube boost...... hmmmmm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i'm using the line input/output, but then i can't remember which mode i put it on... i remember one mode muted it unless you touched the pad or had it on hold, and the other didn't. I reckon yours is on the first mode, which is why you don't get the issues i do. If it's in the fx loop on that first mode, the effect would only kick in once you touch the xy pad. Ugh, i want a kp2 instead of a mini... and a new amp...... and more parts..... and a dominos...... oh! and a new phone...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adds Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 anybody know much about Farida or Adam Black guitars and if they are worth considering over a decent Epiphone LP/cheap Fender. oh and Gibson Melody Maker worth it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LateForTheSky Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 MBK-1 or MBK-2? or is there something even better? I have a problem with my guitar in that i can't get any clarity with distortion so my playing can end up sounding muddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 it's probably more to do with your amp or distortion pedal. what gear are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisonfire Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I mostly used Guitar Rig and my mate's effects processor. And I want to get some new effects on Christmas. That would be distortion, wahwah, phaser/flanger, pitch shifter. What could you recommend from not very expensive, nor shitty stuff? I'm sure it was asked a thousand times before, but it's quite hard to search a huge thread. Well and times and prices change, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 you probably have your gain set too high, and could do with some EQing. If you're still learning about effects, a multi effects board could be better than some individual pedals. The Zoom units are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell_A Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 What is the correct positions for my wrists to be in when playing piano/keyboards? for white notes = aim to get the the middle of your palm over the edge of the keys, for black notes= aim to get your wrist over the edge of the keys. Happy learning! (however there is no "right" technique) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbrokenvirginrealities Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hey guys, What is the best sub-£200 multi-effects pedal to buy? or is there one more expensive that is genuinely worth buying? or any discontinued models that are worth it? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I really like the Zoom pedals, but they seem to be a bit over £200. Boss are good, but there is a noticable delay when switching patches on the older stuff. I'm not sure if they're better these days? Line 6 are very good and there is the floor pod for £150ish.

james90 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 question for the pedal builders (and maybe a few other people) First, this is aimed at Haze or anyone else who knows fuzz pedals. What is the best fuzz face type pedal available today? Second, for the pedal builders. My other option is building my own (highly unlikely)...would it be worth hunting down some NOS parts? I really don't like the sound of the new fuzz faces. I think they used different parts throughout the years as well. Not sure which is the best sounding version.. and I really don't want to spend $800+ an original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"its more for the boffins and anoraks who want the original ones" - Denis Cornell on NOS Transistors in a fuzz face. (He worked on the original fuzz face) also "they haven't changed much to this day" - Denis Cornell on the whole line of Fuzz faces. i would scan it for you, but i dont have a scanner. its the Nov 09 issue of "Guitarist" Has "FUZZ" written on the front with Jimi's blank stare goading you on!
