Try assigning the exp pedal to: Phaser/Flange/Trem speed Distortion gain Volume, with some delay on the patch to do some swells. It's fun!

Is it just me who loves playing on a hollow wooden stage? The vibratons go all the way up my legs and tickle my balls in a way that no other stage can accomplish.

I've never bought a soundman a drink but all the sound guys in stoke seem to know me and we get on really well.

I'm not going to be specific to protect myself, but I think I am guilty of making money from someone else's song. Less than £100 in total, and no air play. The actual writer and/or their manager wont reply to any correspondence so we just went ahead. We're not collecting any royalties from it so..... I fail to see how I am going to get screwed for it.

Sorry! I'll be gone by then! Staffs uni is pretty easy to nick from - if you know any student that know their way around the stafford campus you could get yourself a nice free combo.

If you can make it down to cresswell ST11 9RD in the next hour I can lend you one.

Money is the cure for GAS.

Well take your amp anyway (else you'll seem like an arse) and then politely ask whoever has the biggest rig there if you can borrow it. If they say no, work your way down the rigs! Someone will let you borrow one - you're a girl!

I can lend you a peavey 1 x 15" combo if you want? I'm 30mins at the most from Stafford. When is the gig though? I am away tonight and tomorrow day. I reckon it's the speaker distorting. Buy/beg/borrow a cheap 2nd cab to add to your combo (if it can handle it) or borrow an amp at the gig IMHO. I would DI rather than mic up an amp that's "shagged".

I think if you took a DI before the amp using a complicated effects set up, then having an SVT on stage to monitor would be a bit silly! Maybe not if it's mic'd up though. I always struggled with this - no-one liked my DI from the Peavey combo 'cos it's noisey, no-one liked the DI from my pedal board because it needed a lot of top rolled off, and some bass boost etc, basically what I was doing witht he EQ on the combo. The only way to get a good sound through the PA was to take a DI from the amp, roll all the high end off to get rid of the noise, and then mic my guitar combo for the top end. It's a shame some engineers are not that obliging!

I don't get it and feel stupid

[quote name='dood' post='271826' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:07 PM']Well, no not at all really. My cab's are more 'hifi' than flat response.. Thats just personal taste.. There's really no reason why you couldn't use a dirty great SVT head and cab if you wanted. I'd just rather have the sound I hear behind me being close to whats going out of the DI.[/quote] Doesn't hi-fi = flat? Or does it mean mid-scooped? I was thinking that if your DI sound is eaxactly how you want it, then you would need a flat rig to re-create that for monitoring.... As opposed to my rig which I have to DI post amp Pre and EQ.

Yeh the main reason I needed this pedal was so I could control my phaser frequency with an exp pedal. Weird that they can't just link the ring mod as well.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='271731' date='Aug 28 2008, 01:01 PM']possibly, i'l have a look throught the manual again... edit: looks like you can't do it, which makes little sense to me tbh, and the external exp pedal can only work as a volume pedal[/quote] What would be the point in an external expression pedal then? You'd just buy a volume pedal. That's pretty crap to be honest. You could buy a ring mod and build it into a wah pedal, or a Moog ring mod, or one of those exp pedals with a pipe coming off that fits over your pedal's knobs.

Have you read the manual? Maybe you need to plug an exp pedal into the extra input or something?

I think Dood's approach is excellent but would require a fairly loud and flat (response) rig for monitoring no? I get a similar effect (if words can describe a tone!) from my pedals.... dry, mixed with........ compressor, mixed with overdrive, the combined mix going into a limiter but it needs some EQ after the whole chain on my amp, and I use the two amp set up to get a flatter response.

[quote name='Marcus' post='271285' date='Aug 27 2008, 08:04 PM']We used to regularly take bookings for an acoustic version of our U2 tribute show, smaller venues, or those with a tight budget used to love it !! Had a Thursday night residency at Durham County Cricket Club doing the set without drums !! Bit boring like if i'm honest !!![/quote] How can you do U2 without a delay pedal?

Unlucky Matt!

Nuts?

Yeh, I think that if you're going to run a crossover, you should have your whole effects chain at the start before the crossover. If you just want to have a clean low end as well as a seperate effects amp, there's not much point in a crossover unless one of your pedals really kicks out a load of lows.

Yeh there's already a thread about it. I'm wondering whether to sell some pedals to buy this. I will leave it a while and try and find some feedback on it.

[quote name='Finbar' post='271116' date='Aug 27 2008, 03:58 PM']I may see if my guitarist will let me do that ^_^ Be a laugh at any rate. I've just been looking into crossovers though. I still don't fully understand everything about it, but it seems if I were to use an active crossover in my rack, I could send the highs to a distorted channel, and the lows to the clean channel and then each to a different cab, which would make a lot more sense to me. However, having two identical cabs wouldn't really make much sense for that, am I right? Just throwing more ideas out This whole thing really interests me![/quote] Yes, you are right. You would want a cab suited to monsterous lows for the lows, and a cab suited to high mids/highs for the top. I don't think there's much point in having an actual crossover if you have two pres with EQ though.
