No tab I'm sure. Let your ears guide you my friend.

QUOTE (rushfanNlv @ Oct 16 2006, 02:55 PM) I've found my next purchase.  It's The GigRig system.  What it allows me to do is use all of my vintage, analog effects with an intelligent interface. Here is the concept:  My guitar plugs in to this pedalboard which has 10 effects loops (one stereo for my precious CE-1).  Each loop will house one of my pedals.  From there, there are two outputs which I will send to my pair of 4140's.  I then have a series of user defined presets where I turn the desired effects on and off.  So with one stomp, I can turn on my chorus, delay and overdrive, and turn off my distortion and compressor for example.  There are also switches that allow me to send a signal to my amps to turn on the boost or turn off the reverb: whatever the amps footswitch does, this thing will too. There is also a buffer built in to keep the vintage and newer effects at the same level.  There is level control for each preset as well which allows me to boost the level of a solo preset or decrease the level of a clean preset.  It's just an amazing piece of equipment.  Deciding to use individual stomp boxes means learning to tap dance while you are playing.  With this, it's one stomp shopping so to speak.   It's similar to the Alex's custom built switching systems he used in the 80's with the difference being the presets. I have a rack setup, but no MIDI switching. I have seperate footswitches for all my rack effects, so switching effects on and off is much the same as having stompboxes. I still need to read that link, but this looks interesting. The MIDI-8 will be perfect for you then. Check it out. I was planning on getting the PRO-14 but I may go with the MIDI-8 instead.

Darkness gives way to light a new way?

My hectic schedule prevents me from playing as much as I'd like to but I usually get in 10 to 12 hours a week with the amps and maybe 3 or 4 hours just messing around on the couch.

I use compression, delay, chorus in that order. Your guitar settings are also important. Don't dime the volume knob and use the second position on your strat if that's what you are using. Mine is set to one coil of the bridge humbucker and the middle single coil in this crappy recording. In this recording I pushed the front end of my recording device way too hard and got some tape distortion but you can hear that the tone is close to the original.

don't spill that drink!

 

I can't believe what I just saw.

What pedal did you go with? Do you want to do swells or a lead volume boost?

 

I have found that the old chrome morleys are freakin awesome! They can be found on Ebay for 80 to 100. Otherwise, the EB's great from what I hear.

 

Check out www.harmonycentral.com in the user reviews section for some good info.

I always look for the BIN. I may pay a little extra but I get what I want without any hassle. That's worth the extra dough to me.

I think you'll be surprised. Mabey that was a bit harsh but still, Peavey is Not (generally) a "pro series" of music gear. You have to agree on that. If you like the EVH sound, then use a 5150. If you like the Joe Satch sound then buy $200,000 worth of outboard rack gear. Both those guys sound is "their sound", why would anyone want to sound like them. I refuse to be in bands with guys that have that kind of tone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not above anyone in thinking that way. I just can't stand that sound. It never translates well in a live situation, unless you have the FOH equipment to back it up.   I should also say that I'm a real picky bastard about guitar tone. If you like that super saturated sound then fine. I don't, it doesn't sound like a guitar. Just my opinion, that's all. Fair enough. I totally get where you are coming from.

KirkDS on Drums and Me on Guitar Playing Red Barchetta Wow dude....I like what you've done with it. Really nice feel on the heavy rythm parts. Sounds great.....(except for the horrendous drumming!) You have got to be high! That is some of the best drumming I have heard man. It's an honor to play with you even though were not even in the same state.   Thanks for the comment.

Yeah for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Did the other thread have any hints? I got Limbo after your first hint but due to operator error (again) I didn't follow the rules and thought it to be wrong at first.

Thanks Arleen!

Ok. I have finally finished Red Barchetta. I'm not 100% happy with the overtones but the whammy bar part and the solo turned out cool!

 

KirkDS on Drums and Me on Guitar Playing Red Barchetta

Looks fishy to me. The paint especially looks too new and orange like (the little bumps like the skin of an orange) to be a vintage MXR. And the LED is a dead giveaway as there were only added in the early 80's. However the knobs look nice and aged....the price does not seem right as compared to the other vintage, block logo MXR's on the bay. I would ask the seller to give you the pot code. All he (or she) has to do is open the pedal, gently lift up the circuit board and read the numbers printed on the level potentiometer. There should be seven numbers starting with 137 that indicate where and in which month and year the pedal was made.

 

Here is one you should look at.

 

Script Logo D+. Notice that the seller knew to give the pot code - 1377709 which indicates that the pedal was made in the 9the month of 1977. The 137 is present on all pot codes.

 

Or...Here is one that is a block logo from 1980. the seller indicates that he has checked the pot codes. BIN for $99.00....that sounds like a deal to me.

1. Mission

2. Red Lenses

3. Madrigal

4. In the End

5. Limbo

6. Time Stands Still

7. Bet Your Life

8. Red Lenses

9. Out of the Cradle

10. Xanadu

What's the dif between the "block logo" versions and the older ones?

Isn't "The Trees" an example of Travis Picking?

 

Only thing I can say is practice practice practice. It may be useful to master just the bass notes at first and then add in the melody notes.

Never heard of Travis style picking...Enlighten me.
