Thank you, much appreciated!!

Very basic question I'm realizing I've never really known the answer to. I have a fender deluxe reverb reissue. It has a "vibrato channel", which has reverb in it. I know tube amps are analog, and so my guess would be that the reverb in the amp also has an analog circuit... But I also know that...

Ah ok, I took following line in the octaswitch blurb that I posted to mean that there is both input and output buffer: "There is also a buffered (or not....switchable) Mono input and a stereo Output." What you're saying makes sense. So buffers are only really useful in this scenario when I'm...

I'm looking for an analog delay pedal that has a max delay time of at least 1000 ms and I found the Boss DM-101. According to the website it's a totally analog circuit (has 8 BBD chips) and there are digital circuits controlling them. I checked out a few demos on YouTube, and the sound doesn't...

Thank you!! Got it, makes sense. :)

Thanks! So you're saying that when you flick the buffer switch there's a buffer at the input and the output, and everything in between is true bypass. Correct me if I'm wrong. Will keep in mind what you're saying about turning the output buffer on for old fuzz pedals cuz have been considering...

I get what you're saying generally I think, though some of the terminology is above my head. So buffers are the way to go (and you're saying to find some other cheaper switcher system that just has buffers)... But in the case I'm still considering the Octaswitch, do you have some idea about what...

Hey all, So I’m in need of a pedal switcher, and I’m deciding between the Carl Martin Octaswitch MK3 and the Voodoo Labs PX-8, each of which have 8 effects loops. I’m having some uncertainty with understanding the bypass functionality for the two pedals. So for the Octaswitch, the manual says...

I have a shelf with several levels which has all my guitar effects pedals on it, as well as my audio interface and preamp. It's standing not far in front of the floorboard heater in my apartment and the heat was just turned on. I'm curious how far away from the heater the electronics should be...

Hi all, I'm having trouble posting this in the Line 6 forums; so posting it here for now to see if anyone can help.. I'm screwing around with the Red Squeeze compressor effect on my Line 6 HX Stomp XL. I'm a bit confused about the "sensitivity" control for this effect. According to the HX Stomp...

I played it last night after leaving it out for a day and it basically sounded about the same - maybe a tiny bit of improvement. Will try it again when I get back home tonight. And then the luthier on Monday should it still not sound right.

After the setup I played it many times. So the issue was definitely related to the flooding. Sounds like you just got a bad set of strings.

Very reassuring to hear. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Eric. Reassuring to hear. I'm ashamed to say that with respect to maintenance all I ever do on my own is change the strings. I've been pretty lazy about learning the other stuff... But I think now is a good time to start since my appointment with my luthier isn't until...

Very helpful. Thank you.

I had a small amount of flooding in my apartment about a week ago. My guitar (fender Strat) was in its hard case. The hard case has these little metal stands on the bottom of it that elevate the rest of the case off of the ground by an inch or so. Beneath the guitar there was a little flood...

Thanks! This is extremely helpful!

So I had a small amount of flooding in my basement apartment. My Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue amplifier was elevated on an isolation platform luckily - However half of the electrical power cord/plug that is permanently attached to the amplifier was on the floor and partially submerged in water...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I think I'm starting to hear how much of a difference it could make. Just needed to understand this particular pedal... I really don't use it for recording. Have just tried screwing around with it live over the last few weeks... Though I take it you're saying if it's...

As a follow-up question (please let me know if I should start a separate question here) - How many of you guitarists out there actually prefer to use a compressor pedal for your live stuff? I know it's much more commonly used for recording. If you use it for live stuff, what type of live stuff...
