It is always a pleasure listening to your stuff, Rich. Very natural sounding and relaxed. I like the throwback plate reverb sound, too. It never went out of style for me.

One thing though, if you h ...

This is my 700 Series SD12 E9 5+5. I think Mr. Rudolph calls the color Burgundy with Black Burst. I call it Ooo Baby Baby

The legs of the guitar need to be raised. Your leg should bend at the knee to a 90° angle (or as close as possible) with your foot on the VP and your seat properly adjusted. You should fit under the ...

Tommy, it depends on what effects you are using in the Profex. If you are just adding delay, chorus, or verb, you can run it straight to the 112’s input or put it in the post-eq loop. Any overdrive ...

My pickup is not adjustable as far as height without me taking it off and physically removing a spacer underneath.
Time to remove the pickup and inspect that spacer.

Does the cable jack feel like it’s snapping into the input jack? Maybe the tip arm needs to be bent back in a little.

Two more things to check off

I bet pedal harpists bicker over tuning. And picks or no picks 😎

Of those 300/year that Camac produces, I wonder how many of them are the $70k variety that is featured in the video.

300 per year? That’s pretty good production considering all that high end hand crafting. Must be quite a team.

I have often wondered why this would not be a standard on E9. Would it be asking too much from one pull to also lower string 9 to C# along with 2,4 and 8?

It would mess up the ability ...

There is a learning curve. I suggest ...

The sound of C6 isn’t just the tuning. The string gauges produce a different timbre. Minor and major 6th and 7th chords are all on an E9 copedent, as are a few of the altered dominants and more unus ...

Front legs, back legs, or both? Since the pedal bar attaches to the front legs, I can see why loose legs might create a tuning problem, especially one or two full turns. Back legs, I dunno. Maybe some ...

The Westones I use provide an even cut. I would not say they “maintain fidelity”. Your sound will sound different, because a 9dB roll off is a 9dB roll off.
