#WalrusAudio just *called* me. The other day they sent out an E-mail. Last week I had ordered the new Canvas Volume Pedal and a shirt. They wanted to know what I thought of the pedal. Sadly, I haven't even had a chance to try the thing yet. Hopefully this weekend! Shirt's nice, though. It was also really nice of them to include some piks I'll never use. lol

Pre-ordered a #ChaseBliss: Lost & Found solely for the "resonator" effect to have a stereo + #MIDI parallel to the #ElectronicAudioEffects: Prismatic Wall in a diff rig.

This will be the last small batch preorder available for several years. If you're undecided & can afford/finance one, do it! Second hand markets will be even more expensive.

"small batch" means they build as many units as received that month. You'd be guaranteed to receive a pedal but, it's only avail that month. I think it's a really cool idea. Too bad...

I'm a little disappointed. I set up an ai amp sim + stereo cab sim w/ a few basics. I'm practically maxed out on the #MODdevices Dwarf. Might need a 2nd for effects.

I'm not necessarily opposed but, that makes a huge difference in travel gear & setup time. Signal chain would be limited somewhat as well. Best I could do is use one TRS i/o for distorted and the second for clean from amp box to FX box then into the interface.
🤔
Or reamp. Which doesn't help me at all if I wanted to use only this for shows.

It is possible to DIY a machine to use w/ MOD Desktop but 1) latency 2) footswitches 3) i/o 4) knobs

I think I forgot to share this w/ you guys!

Since I'm signed up to the newsletter, I made it to Mike's Top 8 & was one of the lucky few to receive his cousin's #beadwork w/ my new #looper #effectsPedal! 😋

I decided to replace the #EHX 95000 loopstation with this. Smaller & does what it needs to. Better fit for my #NativeAudio #pedalboard.

It's like he read my mind. Or maybe I read his? Hey, we're all relatives. Anyway, I had been wondering what their take on this type of pedal would be. Something w/ looping capabilities, that is.

I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of pickguards.

Even if the shape looks cool, I'd rather see wood grain, texture. I'd rather have the feel of a natural material over plastic or acryllic.

Instead of a black synthetic pickguard, why not ebony or any other wood, even if it's got a black finish? How about metal that's been hit with flame to colorize it? Roll the edges, embed it, or bind it. Give me a good finger rest while you're at it!

I guess it's fine on plain woods. Those almost always get painted anyway. Alternatively, they could be carved, burned, or inlayed with stone.

What's your take? LLM generated?

At first, I thought it sounded like the host of another #history ch. I looked at the ch info. It's from 2015. Only one other video besides the current batch. One ~45min per day over the last 3wks. I know it's typical for netcasts to record several episodes & release before doing a big promotion so, it's possible these were all done within the last year & maybe the unseen host does not have a dayjob.

This video is a slide show. It sounds like a few lines were spliced in after a first take.

#ai? #musicEquipment

I have to admit that setting this all back up after moving it into a new room is a bit overwhelming. 😅 lol

It's been a while since I've used these. I've been using my "mono NativeAudio rig" or simply a multi-effects pedal for daily practice. So, now I'm redoing the signal path and all that. It'd be much easier if I had a loop switcher but that's gonna run ~$2k so.. gonna be a while.

I saw some #rackmount 31 band EQs that have #MIDI that were made in the 80's and 90's. The ones currently in production do not. It feels like we've taken a step back. 🤨

Granted, there are two fantastic digital #effectsPedals that do and have more features than anything else. (Aside from the #Cranborne Carnaby he2 that has USB for #DAW control and saturates boosted frequency bands.)

*shrug*

On one… foot, I like the idea of *utilities* being in a rack. My other foot doesn't care and just wants to easily swap between presets.

This is brilliant. I picked up a #DBX 166a last year. I haven't used it much. Was <$50. Maybe one day I can send it it to be modded and tuned up.

There needs to be more companies out there maintaining and modifying more gear.

First I found #Strymon, then I found #TRexEffects and wanted the #analogue tape delay and drum delay. Now they came out with a stereo version. Now I understand what the Strymon Volente is about and want that for when I can't afford to use the real stuff.

I've been looking through my Docs folder at the PDF for so long I totally forgot which I was originally trying to find. 😵‍💫

Oh. I needed a reminder about what that #Behringer Ultramizer Pro rack unit does. It seems like a digital all utility piece.

I'm not sure why there aren't more of these because exactly what I want is one robust rack unit that handles gating, limiting, compression, equalizing, stereo widening, and tuning because why not. lol. With #MIDI. The point of #rackmount gear is that it is more powerful than pedals.

#musicEquipment

Here's one way to use a tremolo pedal.

Plug it into a parallel mixer / loop switcher with a distortion so it blends the distortion in and out to give a noxious pulse.
Plug a fuzz into a different loop and run the dry signal through.
Reverb full wet with its own overdrive pedal in another loop.
Blend to taste.

Yes, I am using three different #NativeAudio distortion #effectsPedals tonight.
☠️☠️☠️
I'll have sound samples... after I get that set up and figured out. 😅

This was a good read. See URL for tl;dr.

I bought a #FuzzHugger #Doom Bloom back in 2017-2018. It was the second pedal I ever bought behind the much recommended #RolandBoss MT-2 about a decade prior. It's still one of the best #fuzzPedals I ever heard.

My regular music shoppe E-mailed me a few weeks ago asking WTF? Wondering if I still wanted this #EHX #ElectroHarmonix 95000 #loopstation #effectsPedal. So, I paid it off and had them toss in a plethora of used accessories.

guitar straps
speaker cables
instrument TS, maybe some TRS, and Y-cables

The 9VDC power adaptor they included with the pedal is 1.4A so, I might keep it and 🥀 daisy chain a few others because why not?

I haven't tested anything yet but, I figure I'm good on cables until I can afford new good ones. Maybe I'll diagnose + repair some of the ones I've got. Even if I have to solder and splice, it'll be fine for practice!

New quest: build a powerful mini-ITX or similar tiny form factor PC to use with #MODaudio

I need a good class compliant USB audio interface to pair. Then, I'll have a portable system to do anything with!

The SW that runs on the #MODdwarf can run on any machine. I've been waiting years for these to be back in stock. Now, after spending a small fortune on other digital equipment, I'm debating selling it all.

I've come to the conclusion that at some point I'm going to need to learn how to #program #MIDI and #mod some of my #effectsPedals.

#musicEquipment #NewPedalDay

I'm spun back around to wanting analogue #musicEquipment & #effectsPedals.

Not because of that "vintage tone" all the classic rock guys cream corn themselves over. There is something special about the limitations, imperfections, and how it reacts. Yes, I'll conceed there.

Though, I stand by high quality digital when set up properly can technically sound better. That's not what #heavyMetal is about anyway, is it? I never got that memo.

What I like about #analogue gear has to do with the #RightToRepair. It's tangible components.

Plus, as a #LibreSoftware / #FreeSoftware enthusist, it seems wrong to intentionally have anything proprietary.

Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

#musicEquipment

Here's an early stage of an early #DIY -#pedalboard- err, portable desk top? for the #TwistedElectrons #drumMachine and #synthesizers.

Not yet included is the TherapSID as the sound chips are not installed. lol. One day I'll buy the final revision and add it to a real board.

Outside the frame is the #OXIinstruments One #sequencer. That came with a nice case so, I'll leave it in there for now.

Again, I need a better power solution. I need more gear altogether! lol

I made my first pedalboard. It cost me $0.
🥲

It's great because now I can pick the entire thing up and move it out of the way then just plug in the one power extension cord and everything turns on.

Yes, I need a better power solution (Cioks!) and tonnes more pedals as soon as I can afford them. lol

A moment of silence for my beloved Beyerdynamic DT 770s, which have finally given up the ghost after about 25 years of service. I used these while developing every single Audio Damage product, and probably some Cycling '74 products as well. #MusicEquipment

I was able to get my #fretlessbass with .135g tapewound flatwounds down to low F#.

If I keep my #basses at the sub #contrabass level and use a #cello #guitar for anything higher, wouldn't the cello then really be the #doublebass? 😜

P.S. the trick is to hit the string hard near the bridge and use a little fuzz. (Also using a little chorus, reverb, minimal delay (time:10, fb:10, mix:20) plenty of EQ). It sounds just fine.

Only 3 strings on this half of the bass.
The other 4 on the neck are fretted, lol. Currently tuned C1, G1, C2, F2. Maybe both sections will shift to have low G on the bottom!

I should be taking this time to be learning how to play those #synths rather than sharing photos of them, right? 😅 lol

The mixer sort of works. It's FireWire. Fresh #UbuntuStudio install. @ardour & #Audacity both freeze when selecting the board as the input.
Created a new account on the #Ubuntu Forums so maybe I'll ask for help there. Can't afford a new mixer with USB now!

#SteveVai #SparkMINI #PositiveGrid #GuitarAmp #MusicEquipment

I feel like I absolutely have to get one of these and give it a fair shot. If I'm going to use digital #guitarEffects anything, it may as well be this. It's #opensource!

My only concern is the CPU and few knobs but, perhaps I just need to get multiple. Far less expensive.
Could still go the opposite route with full analog. lol

#musicEquipment #bass #guitar #synth #effectsPedals #freeSoftware #DIY

I have an epiphany. No, not the web browser.

#GHSstrings half round on the bottom of my 6-string #guitar. Make it G# standard. The rest are flatwounds. .22g wound topmost

Double up courses a la #12string but, only the top 3. Plain (neon white) #DRstrings +1 octave.

Tailpiece & bridge rattle. I adjusted what I could. Slightly better.
Replace w/ #Bigsby vibrato & #Schaller bridge. File custom ridges & lube for strings.
Replace nut. Black natural material.

#musicEquipment #DIY #baritoneGuitar

I think I might just forget getting any #bass amps.

I might do two #Tech21NYC Sansamp #rackmount pre-amps. One of which might be the Geddy Lee model? That one's got some nice grit. Along w/ the rest of my rack gear, #pedalboards, and PAspeakers! There seems to be some good PA subwoofers out there that can do 20hz but, I gotta see more specs.

I want to hit 20hz b/c I can. Got that 6-string #bassGuitar in drop E. Could use a HPF pedal to toggle those freqs.

#musicEquipment #guitar #proaudio

Any #NDN #woodwork'ers / #luthiers out there?

I'm contemplating starting a #guitar company if I can gather enough interested people.

This won't be possible for a few years unless others have the funds, time, and skills to make quality stuff from the get-go. I've got some ideas. Just wanted to check in with #indianCountry #metalheads.

This is beautiful. 🥲
Of course #Genzler has another killer #bassamp out now. I had my eye on getting 2 Magellons for L&R w/ FX & a #AshdownEngineering Head of Doom for dead center dry.

Now I'm undecided. Here's a pipe dream. What if I got a good splitter box & used the Magellons through my cabinets, DI'd the Kinetix? 🤣

It's just that many more pay cheques....😅
It'd be automatic double tracking when recording making things easier & quicker. 😎

#musicEquipment #GAS

Holy. What a difference. I re-arranged things in here now that I've got two stereo FX pedals, a stereo #guitar amp + enough TRS cables.

For bass, it's all mono. So, what I did was plug the "modulation pedals" into the noise gate. It's dead silent now. Huge improvement!

Signal chain is:
#bass ➡️ fuzz pedal ➡️ multi-FX pedal ➡️ rack EQ ➡️ rack compressor+limiter+noise gate ➡️ front of amp

amp FX loop send ➡️ pitch shifter ➡️ phaser ➡️
EQ ➡️ comp/lim/gate ➡️ amp FX loop return
