    Treble bleed circuit

    Why? Someone else told me the same thing. A friend who lives in another state loves that mod on his strat. This is why I asked - I may not want to bother.

    Treble bleed circuit

    Over the years I've worked on my guitars from time to time but never gotten real enjoyment out of it. I fix things for a living and while I was playing out a lot it just always seemed like a chore to have to fix or maintain my guitars - beyond changing strings which I did constantly. But these...

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...Design Idea

    I played hundreds of shows with my beloved 59BMRI and during that period I soft-attached a heavy duty surge protected junction box in the back of that combo amp. It had 4 receptacles iirc. I had the amp, a pedal board, and a little personal blower/fan (this is Texas) plugged into it most of the...

    Wouldn't It Be Nice...Design Idea

    Yep, yes. I think it's safe to assume that a design feature like that has legitimate practical and safety considerations. Having worked in a lab at Underwriters Laboratories for many years- I'm pretty sure it would significantly complicate the safety certification process as well. I agree...

    Gargling sweet whispers

    Please forgive me for asking - we live in at a time when it's a little uncertain. Is this a multitrack recording that you created?

    Rolled out the VS840 yesterday

    Hopefully your mates appreciated the effort. I've enjoyed relearning the song and experimenting with some different layered gtr parts. One issue though is... once I took a closer listen with the original guitars removed.... the bass track is rough. Like a lot of timing hitting-on-the-beat...

    Rolled out the VS840 yesterday

    Talking to the tumble weeds rolling by in here.... I hadn't fired up my early first generation VS840 in many years (purchased in 1998). I had some old raw stems from my old band the Bluesicians that I wanted to transfer to my current platform. First had to find the 100MB zip discs...

    Up for a new amp...

    As far as the Champ is concerned - that's the first test: assuming you have reason to believe that your house wiring and grounding is good and squared away - try the champ by itself (with humbuckers if possible) in a distant outlet in another part of the house.

    Up for a new amp...

    Have you considered a Strymon Iridium? A very convincing Fender Deluxe Reverb (tone tweakable by design for classic tweed bassman tones!), Vox AC30, and Marshall Super Lead (with a lot more gain than a real super lead IF you need it) all rolled into one. Each amp is great on it's own - but all...

    Just curious as to why still analog??

    Riffing around on the larger subject.... With just recently getting back to reading books - I'm just looking for ways to slow down my busy life, busy pace. I miss a slower time. My life is so damned complicated and has so many moving parts - I told my wife recently - my happiness is...

    Just curious as to why still analog??

    For personal or business- if it's not simple and warrants more than a sentence or two - I insist that people call me or I initiate a call. You and I are going to talk, goddammit. I do this every day. I've gotten back to reading. Actual books. I'm a hard-ass with my workers. Be on time - all...

    Extracting midi data off of 3.5 inch floppy discs

    Good point on the 3.5's. They're technically "diskettes" - not floppies. Been a while for all of us. And yeah - I think they've got that little slider for write-protection. Someone else mentioned that elsewhere - I'll be sure to check that. Thanks for the reminder. This stuff was created...

    Extracting midi data off of 3.5 inch floppy discs

    I've ordered the drive. I've got the floppies stored somewhere here in the house - I'll locate those today. He had been composing on a really.nice high end Kurzweil or Yamaha console piano/keyboard as I recall. I think I've got a photo of it somewhere in the archives - I'll find that too which...

    I think that's worth a try. Thanks.

    Extracting midi data off of 3.5 inch floppy discs

    I'm putting this here because it's not clear to me where the best place to put it is. I'm wanting - perhaps needing is a better word - to hire someone to go through a bunch of 3.5 inch floppy discs, extract the midi data off of them - and somehow transfer the performance material to digital...

    Stereo versus mono

    Perhaps we would be if we had an ear under our chin and one on the top of our head. :-)
