Ta for the tips, I'll try and get some of the nastiness out of the cymbals. I've never tried reverb on guitars, i'll give it a go. I don't understand this bit: "if you got the images of the drums better matched - at the moment you can hear the cymbals moving around the mix - you need to pan the various drum channels so the hihats and snare are in the same place from channel to channel." Sorry if i'm being thick, could you explain in detail or link me to a decent site about this? On the drums there are 2 room mics panned L and R, one rear overhead panned centre, 2 snare and a kick in the centre, and then the toms are extremely gated so they wont make much difference.

Cheers! "guitar is small sounding" - can you think of anything I could do to make it "bigger" ? The cymbals sound exactly as they do at practice IE they are badly broken

Isn't there an identical thread in Amps and Cabs?

I've no idea if i'd be dedicated as I have no idea what the music's like!! However, I played bass in myspace.com/nologorock - check it out.

I'm in the middle of making an album for the band I play drums and write some of the music for. It's going quite well. I've done a rough mix after drastically changing the guitar sound last night. It' just one track and the vocal sound sucks at the moment, but all comments and opinions are welcome. Bare in mind it's un-mastereed so turn it up! I've tried to use the attachment thingy, hopefully it'll work!

Drink whisky until you're very drunk. Go to sleep. Wake up with a horrible head, and extremely clammy/sweaty hands. Scratch your arse a bit. Immediately grab your bass. Play only the top two strings. Now they'll never twang again!! DONE

I have played the B150 and I did like it but I didn't think it was loud enough for my needs.

What's a "jazz nazi"? He loves the uniforms AND jews?

[quote name='Musky' post='486750' date='May 13 2009, 11:15 AM']I believe Chris Wolstenholme still uses one of those as part of his set up. He likes the distortion available from them apparently. OT, but you used to see tons of threads asking about his set up. Is he no longer in favour or something? [/quote] I think his gear got less interesting/we already knew what we wanted to know. I think his marshall combo has a 15" not a 12".

I think a compressor shows up your mistakes just as much as it helps if you have poor dynamic control. Swings and raaaaandaaabaaats innit.

[quote name='Dave' post='486647' date='May 13 2009, 09:32 AM']the crunch is definitely there, but this seems strange coming from a solid state amp. Any ideas?[/quote] You can get distortion from a SS pre-amp.

I've had the same sort of problem with my Peavey TNT combo. It's always fine the next day. Never had any lasting issues.

Lol, just a suggestion. Safety first!!

Sorry maybe i've not explained myself properly. If you buy a jack socket, they're a similar size to a footswitch. You could un-screw the bolt on the fuzz switch, and then push that switch inside. By taking the back of the pedal off you could insert a jack socket into the fuzz switch hole. If you wire the socket to the wah switch, you can then plug in any normal footswitch to the jack socket to turn the wah on and off.

[quote name='AM1' post='485664' date='May 12 2009, 10:04 AM']Well, you did leap into my polite thread, asking for a bit of help, to accuse me of being a troll and then a dimwit. What did you expect, hugs and cookies?[/quote] You're really rude sometimes. He called you a troll after you were rude.

You could use the hole for the fuzz switch, and put the fuzz switch inside. All you have to do is solder two wires to the jack socket and the other ends to the wah switch.

Right, sorry, I didn't know what the layout of the pedal was. Alternatively, you could drill a hole in the pedal, put a mono jack socket in, and wire it to the wah switch. Then you can use a normal footswitch for an amp to turn it off and on.

I don't know, I think it's a great suggestion! It means you don't have to buy any parts. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='485031' date='May 11 2009, 01:14 PM']Swap the wah switch into the place where the fuzz switch is (supposing this is the same layout as other snarling dogs pedals), so you can switch independant of wah position.[/quote]

red onion are apparently good. If you have a spare pedal casing, make it yourself, if you don't, it's probably not worth it.

yep!

The fact that you don't use the fuzz isn't a problem. If you like the wah, you've got what you need! Get a true bypass loop and you can switch the pedal in and out of your chain independant of where the treadle is.

I bought a load of cables off Max. They arrived on the next working day! Very well packed etc. Cheers!
