Speaking of teles, how's your's wired? Standard 3-way switch? What kind of pickups?
cheers,
wade
Wade, my Tele has the two noiseless (EDIT: samarium-cobalt) pickups and it is a Deluxe, so it has that pushbutton switch in the volume knob that lets you run the two pickups either in parallel (traditional) or in series (for a gain boost and fat midrange tone).

I own one, and I'm a big fan. My favorite thing is, it's so sensitive to what I do with my pick hand. I can control the amount of breakup just by how I play, I love that. It's got a zillion tones, all of them fantastic. I agree with the other guy though, the "hp" switch could be beefier, even if just so it was easier to operate in the dark and/or while drinking.

Aye. That it does. In what I call the 'usable' sweep of the volume knob (say 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock) you're talking 30dB of gain. I find it's different room to room, night to night (my ears change too) but there is always a setting on the volume knob that will provide you with what I can only describe as pure milk.

And right there, when you find that sweet spot, your pick hand comes alive. The volume knob and your pick attack are extremely expressive, and you can really clamp down on some notes and make her scream, and then back off a little bit on the pick attack and she cleans right up.

And that's what I want in a lover. I want her to get down nasty and then help clean up afterward. :eek:
 
I thought about that after I posted, it may be that it's actually on the left and that my memory is hazy. Either way, it is on the 'performer side' of the jack, which for me was a bad place to put it. If it were on the other side, the power cord would be able to reach the power outputs of my pedal board without being wrapped around the output lead. I included some pictures to explain.

See how that power output jack is uncomfortably bent underneath the output lead? For this dude it doesn't present much of a problem, because the bottom of his board is open and the cord can just go underneath. I use a Furman pedal board, which is just a carpeted slab with a power conditioner and all that at the top. When the pedal is velcroed down it doesn't leave much room for the thing to pass under without any uncomfortable bending.

But like I said, if I could I would have sex with this pedal.

And, for the record, yes, my peenie is large than 1/4" inch in diameter. But not so large I can't fuck an xlr input. I tried my mating dance on a shure beta 57, once, though, and I ended up with three holes at the end of my dick. Now I pee in the shower.

Nice setup! I normally use an effects processor, but picked up a Fulltone Full-Drive 2 a year ago, and love it!

That ain't mine. Mine is much simpler.

Tuner--> Digitech Whammy --> Fulltone OCD --> TC Electronics Nova Delay --> Amp.

That was some other dude's. I'm suspicious of it. See that Line 6 Tap trem? WTF? What is that doing there?
