Le Pouls Du Monde

Scott the F is implicit BaxterAfter trying that Super Reverb only to have the seller decide he wanted to keep it, I went back home and played through my American Sound (Fender sim) pedal into my Orange Micro Terror 15w tube pre/transistor amp.The Super did THE THING I wanted. My setup pretty much does it, too, maybe more noisy, and lacks a jewel light power indicator. But it's cost me about $500 less.That reverb, tho. Sooo drippy.<sigh><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/gearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearSquad</a>

Scott the F is implicit BaxterArrgh. I went around the guy's shop, he was there and got the amp, plugged it in and let me try it. "Vibrato" wasn't working for me, but the reverb was sweet and drippy. Then he said he didn't want to sell it. He'd even taken down the ad. (I so want this to not be about me, and my crap playing and self-deprecating demeanor.) He said he'll think about it and let me know if he will sell it. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/patience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#patience</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/gearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearSquad</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Fender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fender</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/amplifiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#amplifiers</a>

Eric 🇨🇦Down in the basement. Got the vocals comped on this speedy fast 12-bar blues based rockabilly protest piece. May do some backing oohs or aahs on the choruses. Put down a few prelim bass tracks tonight too. I totally dig playing bass on this stuff. Good fun riffs, runs and resolutions at the turnarounds. <a href="https://c.im/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bass</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/singing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#singing</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a>

Baron Von J<a href="https://mas.to/tags/StVincent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StVincent</a> puts on a good show. Not real.familiar with her catalog but the Baroness is a big fan. The band all performed well. Good energy. Using the space. Engaging the crowd. Also while I couldn't get a respectable view of her <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GuitarPedalBoard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GuitarPedalBoard</a>, I was able to spy a conspicuous entry on the top-left (from her view) and included a little peek for <a href="https://mas.to/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearSquad</a>

Ladder Logic 🇨🇦Just tried out the stem splitter in Logic Pro 11 on an old song that I'm trying to rebuild from the original loops and a rough mix. It did an amazing job, not perfect, but good enough that I can figure out the loop sequencing now. Very easy to use and I'm really impressed. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MusicProduction</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LogicPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LogicPro</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Stems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stems</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearSquad</a>

I don’t have an amp. The Page is doing my ‘tube preamp’ work, and I then send all of this into either the HX Stomp with some good IRs if playing quiet or from there to a solid state 100w stereo power amp to 2 proper guitar cabs if I want the full experience. It’s wet/dry and it sounds like angels screaming. It makes me happy.

Amber GreyHi lovely <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearSquad</a> homies. Guitar questions time. Do jazzmaster necks typically feel a bit chunky? Or does it vary widely? Are jaguar necks any slimmer in profile as compared to jazzmasters? And, are hollowbody necks chunky in general or do you know of any with a slimmer neck profile? Thank you 🖤👾 :blobcatcoffee:

I keep hearing that terminology in guitar podcasts and don’t have a great grasp on either concept. Thank you!

Eric 🇨🇦In the basement putting down some rough guitar tracks. New song is coming along. Digging deep and watching vids of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Scotty Moore for some inspiration. Well, maybe some Cramps and Setzer too. Got the lyrics roughed out. Kind of an anti-establishment Pete Seeger vibe with a dash of psychobilly. Don’t quite know where this song is gonna go. Quite fast though, so far around 160bpm. The Gretsch is perfect for this stuff. Although the BigSky throws in too much reverb on the slapback delay. And my old Mooer is tap tempo delay and max tap setting speed won’t go fast enough. May have to bite the bullet for a newer basic delay pedal. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#songwriting</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a>

GeneOk clueless question time. Is it a bad thing to plug your gear, that is all left in the on-position, into a single power strip (or series of strips) and turn everything on and off at once, with a single switch?Or is it better to have everything off and turn each device on, one at a time?Context: I never took electronics class - Oof!<a href="https://musician.social/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearSquad</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/Power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Power</a>

Eric 🇨🇦In the basement tonight working on a new song. Kind of a retro rockabilly vibe thing. Had the Strymon BigSky still hooked up from the previous tune, so instead of getting out the delay pedal, I searched for a video to see if you can configure delay on the BigSky. Found some useful info. I tweaked a factory preset and saved a great slapback delay setting. Put down a test track and it sounds pretty good. Here’s the video I found about configuring delay on the BigSky. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/bxgj3dquRZY?si=HZ2m3goLvOxAwPbQ" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/bxgj3dquRZY?si=HZ2m3goLvOxAwPbQ</a>

These had active EQ (plus/minus treble and bass). It came to me with no sound and a warped neck with deep dents in some frets that showed impressions of string winding in them. I forced in a slightly wider Chinese neck and a passive wiring harness from 'zon (to which I added a fader to go between the pickups).

Eric 🇨🇦Messing around in the basement tonight with the hollow body Gretsch 5422. Had the guitar for a few months now, but haven’t really given it a good long session. Putting down some ideas for a new song. It’s wild how a certain instrument can subconsciously inspire a certain genre of music because of its historical common or typical use. In this case rockabilly or early rock n’ roll. The Gretsch has that twang thing going on; that bite like a Telecaster. FilterTron pickups are interesting. Traits of both Danelectro lipstick pickups and Telecaster single coils, but with a bit more midrange and less hum. Not as warm as a full blown humbucker though. Running it through a Keeley compressor pedal. <a href="https://c.im/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guitar</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/songwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#songwriting</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a>

Amber GreyOk <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GearSquad</a> I don’t know how to play the bass but I want to learn. Anybody have tips, ideas on what would type would be beneficial for supporting highly melodic material? Are there pickups that sound more suited for clean toned cinematic instrumental? Supporting acoustic guitar? Leading a song under vocals only? Time to learn :blobcatcoffee: are there pickup configs I should be aware of? Thanks friends :blobwizard:

Eric 🇨🇦Guitar used throughout the song was Danelectro 59 on panned hard left picking and hard right strumming tracks. P-bass, drums, main vocal and 2-track stereo keyboards up the middle. Two separate takes of backing chorus vocal tracks were panned hard left and right. I programmed the drum track, which is the free MT Power Drum Kit plug-in. Guitar effect pedals used throughout on the Dano 59 were Keeley compressor and Strymon BigSky on a Magneto preset. Vocal mic was Apex 550 FET large diaphragm condenser. Keyboard was a cheap ancient $50 used Yamaha PSR172. Interface is Scarlett 4i4. DAW is a 2017 free version of Tracktion Waveform. Computer is an old $100 ex-gov’t HP pentium machine with 16gb of ram. <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recording</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gearsquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gearsquad</a>
