JakeLulz Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well I don't have the guitar anymore, but it wasn't the guitar then. Because it worked just fine straight into another amp. Could it be like a grounding issue or something? All the stuff i mentioned is plugged into like multi plug adapter things and it might be a bit far fetched but I'm sure my dad has probably messed with the plugs and the adapters at some stage since he's a know it all, who really has no idea what he's doing.(All that kind of stuff is probably really cheap and crappy knowing him.) He DJ's, so most of the equipment I was using was his aswell. He said something about getting a buzz being something to do with grounding, although i wouldn't really take his word for anything.

Neil. Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 What i would suggest you do is start off with the guitar JUST plugged into the amp, and check that works. Then add into the loop, for example, Guitar rig. Check that. Add effects, check again, and keep doing it one bit at a time till you either get that crazy effect, or, it all works. That's what i do, even with my normal effect chain, cos sometimes when i just shove it all together, it sounds shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get Hum through multi-socket plug adapters, especially if it isnt of the greatest quality, and believe it or not, you can get hum through your amp from various household appliances like washing machines, because it dirties up the power that your various bits and bobs are getting... just try different combinations of things to try and eliminate what ISNT giving you hum, if it you get hum with everything, just open up your guitar and have a peek if any of the solder has come loose, leaving any wires dangling about, it does sound like it could be a grounding issue...

Jyrgen Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Dumb question, but someone please tell me how to get a huge rhythm sound like here, the riff at 2:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbyqqd2Lwp8&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLostMuse Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Okay Quick Question about Guitar Pro 5: How can you make it so the BPM changes half way throught the tab? The first half is 120 BPM and later in the song it changes to 100 BPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half is 120 BPM and later in the song it changes to 100 BPM click that, somewhere at the bottom of the window that opens you can choose to change the tempo... although if you had searched on google you would have had your answer much sooner...

brian KEEEEM Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey guys, my Digitech RP255 multi effects pedal is a great thing to play with when you're bored. I only use it for the whammy nowadays. However, it has a drop in volume when I engage it. I have the master volume set to full. Is there anything I can do about it? Googling "Digitech RP255 volume drop" doesnt really get me anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I only use it for the whammy nowadays That's what she said!! Can you not set individual patch levels? If so, create a totally clean patch at one level, then a whammy patch at a similar level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 just doing some tweaking to my guitar at the moment. I'm fairly sure my cap values are WAY too high which is why i often complain about it being too bassy. Anyone with high output pickups know off hand what value cap they're using? or infact, with any kind of pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can but my problem is not that the different patches on it are at different levels, but when the unit's engaged, there's quite a noticeable volume drop...

Set your patch levels right, then create a blank patch, and set that level to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 KWESCHUN! If you get a Midi controller, and say you have a midi device, like a Kaoss Pad or a Whammy, can you assign ANY controls to anything? Like i was looking at the korg nano pad, and if i had a whammy, could i set it that the buttons change which program is set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It depends on the gear. Some controllers will be limited as to what signals they can send, and some devices will be limited to what signals they respond to. AFAIK you can control everything on the whammy with MIDI, so it would depend on the controller. Does it have a MIDI input LOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 'ToAn HaWnd' himself Increasing your resistance values on the pots will decrease the amount of bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 From the 'ToAn HaWnd' himself I changed from 473's to a 102 and a 472. Made the world of difference. Really nice consistant tone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian KEEEEM Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 can you not up the output and patch levels enough to level it out? Nope It's at it's highest. I haven't spent like hours trying to higher the volume maybe around 20 minutes looking for something... I could've missed something though, but I highly doubt it.

the_man361 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 can you reduce the bypass volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 bypass is just bypass. You'd have to adjust a volume pedal, or turn on a boost every time you turned off the multi. Just make a clean patch that's the same level as the other patches, and use that instead of bypass. I don't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the problem. im gonna sort of correct you there, and say that when you bypass a pod xt live it has a bypass level choosy thing, so it could be similar... though i agree, bypass should be 'GTFO my chain', and thus be bypass.

james90 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 sup knt how do i go about making some isolated tracks? (if that's the right way to put it). you know, separating guitar or bass or drums or whatever else from a single track into a bunch of separate ones.
