Sorry to be a smart ass.

I seen a guy drop Lifesons guitar during a switch after a string broke Grace Under Pressure Tour.

How much for the PRS?

 

 

There was a thread by........can't remember.........(one of the dudes here who is lucky enough to be in a Rush tribute band me thinks) that talked about him actually finding one of these Moog Taurus Bass pedals in a store and getting to play with it for a good hour or so. To his supprise, he was unable to find or replicate the sounds that Geddy and Alex were getting form these pedals. It was later explained that one of the Rush techs had essentially created MIDI before it even existed by rigging these pedals up such that they would trigger the synths that Geddy was using. The synth is where the sound you like so much came from and not the Taurus pedals. They were simply a trigger.

 

If anyone knows of the thread I am talking about, please link it here.

There are some reviews. All pretty favorable. I looked at the switcher you are talking about and while it is great and will do the same thing the combinatior can, I prefer the combinator because it will sit on my new custom 25" x 35" pedalboard (making cable lenght shorter) and it gives me power for all my pedals.

 

The first combinator did have pops when switching between loops but the second version fixed that.

Bah.....

 

I love my effects. You're right, tone comes from the fingers, guitar and amp and that is the foundation but you've gotta have some salt and pepper in there you know? That's the problem I am having right now, all my effect pedals are between me and the amp. With my GAS item, I will soon remedy that.

 

I'm getting one of THESE! That way the amp can shine and the effects can be the salt and pepper.

 

Great unit man. I was just looking at that yesterday. That should be really sweet. Can't wait to hear your review.

It's on the list.

ehh,... those guys are ok.

 

Man, what a feeling it must have been to be there and feel those drums as well as hear them. That was amazing.

Awesome guitar man.

That looks like an awesome guitar. I knew he played but I didn't know he was this deep into it.

 

The guitar looks like a cross between an LP and a Es-335. SHWEET!

Freakin awesome man. The guitar, bass and drums are right on the money. The keyboards are the closest match I have ever heard from any Rush tribute band. Your tone kicks ass!

 

I think there is a little too much reverb in some parts if you don't mind me saying ( I assume you are posting for some constructive criticism). And I think the singer needs to put more gut into his vocals. Really belt it out you know? He's hitting the notes OK but there is not enough feel in my opinion.

 

Great job man.

Looks like you've changed out the original bridge on the guitar too. What's up with that? Now I have GAS for a semi hollow body. Thanks.

f*ckin A Pete that rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Great sound out of the Sheraton II with the SD Seth Lovers.

The Incarnations of Immortality Series by Piers Anthony.

Harmony Central has a shit load of reviews!

 

I always check the reviews here when I am researching equipment. The site is a good reference.

Piers Anthony - The Xanth Series. I also like the Incarnations of Immortality series which I am reading for the second time now.

Ok, i'm not normally into copying artists' sounds these days, but would those pedals produce the kind of fuzz Matt Bellamy uses? I know he has a fuzz factory but they're out of my range.

I'd like to hear how it sounds. I'm looking for something with a seriously heavy tone - say like Godsmack or Disturbed. Could this be the one?

EHX has a new pedal out call the little big muff and I plan to try that out myself soon.

 

I have heard great things about The London Fuzz pedalfrom a friend of mine. He raves about it. More than you want to spend, I know, but check it out.

Sure I have some recommendations but first, let's get a price range from you. Also, how do you intend to use the pedal? Is it going to be your main dirt? Just for solos? Perhaps with a bass???

 

Need more input.

When asking about gear opinions, be sure to include a price range and the intended use. For example:

 

I need a USB mixer for home recording or a mic to record me playing guitar just for fun. My price range is $200.00.

 

That way, the dudes who respond will have these parameters and not offer suggestions about the high end gear they are used to dealing with.

sorry for the late reply...

 

Yes I did. I spent it the same night you sent it.

 

It's packed and waiting for shipping Tuesday. I'll ship it overnight so you won't have to wait too long. You're going to love it.

Very interesting picking style. It looks like he's using a thumb pick and then finger picking too. Not my bag baby but impressive just the same.

I think one of the important things to remember here is that when one of us asked a general question about mixers or mics or anything that has to do with producing recordings, it should be understood that we are asking about the stuff that is within a working mans price range and is designed for home recording and not professional production. We understand that we are going to get what we pay for but to us, this is just a hobby and not a career.

 

I respect both launchpad and Cyg as musicians and producers. I've heard what both of them can do and believe me, they are professionals. If you have not listened for yourself, you should. Listen to Cyg's link in his signature or the remix launchpad did for KirkDS's drum tracks. These guys know what they are talking about. Don't get offended when they offer an opinion, especially when you asked for it. Instead, take their opinion with the knowledge that they are used to working with high-end gear and not the hobbyist stuff us regular guys are used to using. The advice the offer is really, really good advice! It just may not apply to you.

 

 

Oh and for the record, I started playing guitar seriously to try to make the same sounds that Alex does. Not to create my own style or start a band or write music or become famous......I specifically want to play his music and sound a close to his early 80s sound as possible. If a tribute band thing were possible for me, I would do it in a heartbeat. I know I am a wannabe and I have accepted it.
