topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Got to agree about the weight, when you watch videos with guys getting into solos I wonder if they have exoskeletons.Some rockstars who can afford several of them will play a heavy one in the studio but strut around stage with a far lighter chambered onehttp://legacy.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Gear-Tech/en-us/Wide-World-of-Weight-Relief.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but that's the notoriously body light, neck heavier SG. Let's see him try that with a double unchambered LP he'll be folded like a deckchair in seconds! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Have to say whenever I'd see footage of Jimmy Page or John McLaughlin playing double-neck, they always seemed to be fucking about with the tone and volume controls struggling to get a sound. The boy in The Eagles seemed to manage ok, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Torn between Epiphone Les Paul or a Sheraton. Never owned a Sheraton, but just nervous I'll get bored of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sheraton apparently weighs about the same as a Stratocaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroj Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Put together a small pedal board during this whole lockdown period. The T-Rex Moller is, IMO, one of the most underrated drive pedals on the market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academically Deficient Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 If it helps, I've got a tele and a sheraton, and they weigh about the same, although the latter is much bigger. Beautiful guitar, best I've owned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlord FX Spinning Room it’s called. Has a few different settings including envelope filters, phasers and tremolos. I can never justify buying a dedicated filter or phaser pedal as I never really use them so this wee thing does the job if I ever fancy messing around with some odd sounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it out on you tube and it sounds fun and at that price you don't need to worry if you don't use it much My board is missing at least one delay pedal. Really I want to do that properly and get an expensive tap tempo thing when I've got money but I'm thinking now that I could go for a low end one and then still keep that for old fashioned slap back delay if I ever get a fancy one Edited June 29, 2020 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analog and tape delay settings on it sound amazing and the mash button system they’ve created is great fun, even if it is a bit of a gimmick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qos91 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ive just had a fender champion 100 delivered today. Sold my marshall dsl20 as it was too loud for home practice and I only play with a band every now and again.The champion sounded good and has a headphone socket which I need to play in the house most of the time.Only problem is, once you plug headphones in, the effects loop is disabled.I need an effects loop as I play with a loop pedal quite often so Ill be returning the amp. Surely not all amps of this type do the same thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not all amps of this type do the same thing? The effects loop comes between the preamp and the power amp. So that the pre amp has already put it’s character onto the sound before your effects get to it. Headphone sockets will presumably just be taking a feed straight from the preamp with no further amplification needed You could try putting your effects loop between the headphone output (or fx send) and the headphones themselves but this might need some cable adapters. This chap has recorded a general tutorial on effects loops which might be helpful https://youtu.be/dgbffV5fR4Y 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
