Fortunately, I'm retired. Funny story though. Back in the 90s I had a job that was 1/2 mile from my house. The traffic was so bad in town that I decided to buy said bicycle. Well, the ride TO work was all downhill, so I made it there in about 3 minutes. Unfortunately, the hill coming home was...

This is analogous to early guitar pick ups. Some are hot, some are not. Take for example Abigail Ybarra. (Much can be found on YT). She is credited with winding the best pickups that Fender utilized. Sitting next to her could be Sam Jones. Same wire, same winder, same recipe. But Sam goes to...

So, thinking back on some other posts, (specifically the low gain on the interface) it seems as though "gain staging" is the answer. Start low, and add gain as you go. I'm guilty of "overdriving", and I think that has to do with the nomenclature of levels. I am used to analog meters: VU meters...

@ecc83 I don't want to be a dick. But, let me give you a little bit of my background. I started working in electronics when I was 25. I'm now 72. I know a little. Thankfully, I don't need to write anymore resumes, so I'll just name drop. -- I worked with a gentleman, who is also retired...

This lacks some context. The frequency range of an electric guitar is between ~80Hz (low E) to ~1.5kHz (high E, 24th fret). The human ear, nominally, can detect a change in "loudness", i.e. SPL, of 3dB. A 10dB change in SPL is nominally detected as "twice as loud". From your graph, the dB change...

I don't know, @DrewPeterson7. I likes all of the versions. I did have some trouble figuring out what was what, but my ears likes the first clip, and the 4th and the 5th. If that were me, I would mix all three together. I thought that the 4th and 5th had a little more bite, and some nice...

I just bought a Positive Grid Riff. Sounded like a good idea until I found that I need to spend another $$ to get anything useful out of it. It's good for sitting on the couch with headphones. Supposedly, I can use it (after In app purchases) and use that as an amp sim. I already have a ton of...

@ecc83 While I always read your post replies, multiple times when necessary, THIS one is so over my head, that I can't make any sense whatsoever.

Great vid. I have a TASCAM 16x08 and had no idea about the gain knob. BTW: I would kill for the tone he has on his solo! (Notwithstanding the great reverb and very subtle echo)

That's really a beauty. Good luck! I bought my first PRS about 2 months ago, and man, what an eye opener. I should have done it way sooner.

Very nice. I love the butterscotch. @TalismanRich is right. Call it "road worn" and the price goes up. As long as we have a chance to show off our Teles, here's mine. The pick guard was hand painted by my wife, though I've replaced it with a black one.

WOW! I must have a rarity. My Fender Blues Deluxe combo weight 45 lbs. I should call Joe Bonamassa!

SIde Chain? Trigger the compressor with the loudest sound in the group?

sounds like a compressor/limiter as Rob says.

Probably better left for dead.

I downloaded it, but my computer puked because of the macros in the Excel spreadsheet. No matter. Good tool though.

I put this to you. re: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. ... Or the one" - Spock Star Trek: "The Wrath of Kahn" (1982) I will also point you to "R v Dudley and Stephens (1884) 14 QBD 273, DC" R v. Dudley and Stephens Ponder this, and I will entertain a discussion on...

"I am the sort of person who would rather be Told they are wrong and Informed what is True then waste their time Thinking about something Stupid." - Me I see that you amended your signature mid-conversation. Notwithstanding grammatical errors, and random capitalization, I say, "You are wrong"...

Would you say that your answer leans towards a dichotomous perspective? When considering artistic and scientific personas, must one truly choose between them, or is there room for integration? Take, for instance, Tom Scholz—does he not exemplify a fusion of both worlds? With a BS and an MS from...
