Yup.

That's awesome. Especially the muso crowd showing up. If you feel like a mid week gig you could host an open mic every week. Get those guys a complimentary beverage when they show and get them on. Shouldn't be a hard sell for you to the landlord. This gets you a high standard of jammers that makes your life easy as hosts.

Aside from grounding messed up you have the problem that when the pedal is off it's inverted.

Ls2 has no phase adjustment. Distortions and chorus commonly return 180° out. Bad juju blending.

What size screws?

Late in but dang, dremmelling faux screw head into remainder has to be the worst advice ever read. The remainder is sheared off at the body or inside. By the time the slot is cut there's less than half the metal section left that already gave way and the body has slots too. Snowball's chance of any of that plan coming together. Ditto punching anything out (the wrong way through virgin neck material, huh?%#*!) Wangling the neck off the remaining stubs after the other screws are out might work. Plug cutting will work.

So I had to Google it and the circus was indeed founded by 5 of 7 Ringling brothers, from..........Baraboo Wisconsin, who knew?!!? Anyone wanna bet Al stayed home and built a theater instead?

I don't think the bace is intended as an acoustic instrument any more than a hollow body electric guitar is an acoustic.

Al being the stay at home black sheep of the family?

While we're at it steam rollers don't roll steam either. But yeah. No easy fix not involving fixing the amplifier.

Ya. Phase is important when reblending. But good luck getting a delay signal in phase with anything! I can't see the point in even beginning to blend a dry with the output of a delay pedal. That's nuts. Just configure the delay to how to what you want it with its own controls.

Either that or he's dead set up himself and his influences. Only one way to find out.

Ya. You guys have no idea how lucky you are to not have earthquakes. Most of our old grand theatres are are condemned because nobody has the coin to bring them up to where they need to be to not fall on top of 500 people in a quake. The only reason they are still standing is they haven't had a proper quake yet. The empire builders who got them built were long dead before seismic engineering was invented.

They would have done it a long time ago but they will be tied in with their super duper DHL group contract for the rest of the world. That's how they can be competitive. From the other direction, DHL can't divest themselves of their problem child. The only thing worse for them than a dysfunctional UK arm is no UK arm.

Could do Country Road in GimmeGimme metal style and see if he gets the hint?

Prunes and Custard MXR envelope Holden phaser Danelectro Cool Cat chorus. Pretty please for a loop station that I don't use normally but on a dessert island with no guitarist it wouldn't be much fun and I could improvise some dodgy chords to bass along with while coconut drumming with my feet. I would be quite the circus act by the time I got rescued.

Do you have a blender? Or a crossover unit? Or a multiple input blending gizmo of any description? Preferably got something with a phase switch like a DB preamp? You really have to keep your lows intact to get anything resembling the recording. There's probably someone close enough to you that would lend you some kit for the audition. Shopping list: blender with phase switch, crossover that works with your intial preamp out level. Piece of cake.

You missed the thust of my post which was how to achieve the tone with pedals at the audition!

Lots of clean if a RAT is involved! Sounds like distortion only applied to higher mids and up so a crossover distortion blend situation would be my guess. It wouldn't much matter what overdrive you used if you did that.

Late bloomer!!!!

You should keep on saving and be aspiring much much higher than another little combo. A used heavy set of of gear is what you will need for most gigging bands.

Had Stuck in the Middle bomb a few times.

Live Sound Reinforcement as a standalone would be my preference.

Doh. Need a bunker for bike charging!

E bike range. Depending on cycle way provision and traffic conditions it could be faster and even safer. Or not, but worth considering.
