Thanks Dave, good to know.

Well, everything worked fine at the rehearsal studio last night so I did not need to use the fresh battery I got for my multimeter. One of life's mysteries. Or maybe they fixed the amp, which did not ...

Thanks, I will try that next time it happens.

Thanks, Steve. Everything is on isolated power if Strymon is to be believed -- most of the pedals are powered by a Zuma. There are a few with their own wall-warts because of their power requirements ...

I've been rehearsing at a studio that has a Fender twin non master volume reissue and it does not like my pedalboard. The twin seems to be working normally although it has a kind of low level oscilla ...

Hi Steve,
Congratulations on your excellent work. I really enjoyed the book and learned a lot.
That said, I had the same question as Bud Angelotti (it's not just the cover photo, there are a coup ...

Amp up, vp down.

Hot playing and cool video.

Don't know about ZenDrive, but as far as Dumble emulators go, Mad Professor Simble works great with steel:

I like mine. I have an extension cab with a 15", sounds great. It also is a great amp for 6 string

Many thanks, B0b, for all your work maintaining the forum, and your excellent moderating skills and judgement. You will be missed. Enjoy your retirement.

Ok, it's practice, but: Do a swell from silent to full on open, then the same swell with RKR engaged, ditto with RKL. I do that with chromatic runs on the lower strings with both knees when I need to ...

That is both beautiful and cool as can be. Nice playing, too.

If you want to try one out, pm me--I'm in Toronto. Also re your other thread, I've got a Milkman mini, 40 watts which might help you decide between the 50 and 100w.

Yeah, I had Tim put in a tube rectifier from the get go. Fantastic sounding amp.

Oh man, how sad. I had the great good fortune to meet him at a TSGA jamboree (through the good offices of Bob Blair). Such a nice, interesting guy. RIP.

Best guitar amp I ever had was a silverface pro reverb. Just the right amount of breakup in a typical room. I played my MSA sidekick through it and it sounded ok but now might think it lacked headroom ...

Schaller made vps with a rack and pinion mechanism. I had one but wasn't crazy about the feel.

TC unitune. I tune ET, anything beyond that I do by ear so I don't used sweetened settings (even though I've got a stroboflip). It's very accurate and easy to use. I clip it to a leg. (The right leg f ...

Pete Drake did the studio version of Loretta Lynn's "Fist City" but there's a live TV version with Hal Rugg that is incredibly creative. Google "Fist City" and you'll find it.

Welcome to the forum and to the fairly small world of Toronto psg players, of which I am one. I'm a D10 player so can't speak to universals from personal experience. Susan Alcorn plays one and can g ...

Nice, thanks for posting.

I always thought Sneaky Pete's parts on the choruses of Joni Mitchell's "California" had a descending Shepard tone-like quality, especially the second chorus right about 3:00 studio version.

After "Hey Joe", string together "Jumpin Jack Flash", "let's do the time warp again" and maybe a Freebird or two to fill in the cracks and you are there. It won't be pre ...

Try turning the amp up and keeping the vp low.
