Purge
Traitorous Usurper
Thought this might be a cool place for all you string slingers to show off any nifty tricks you've picked up over the years, or even just various ways to use the 8735 effects that your floor box from hell came with. Some might be "bleah" and some might be "zing!", but throw it out there anyway.
1. The Limiter From Beyond Hell
Pretty neat when used as an effect on a clean channel with a bit of delay. Just crank the piss out of your limiter, play with the delay beat, and you've got a bizarre "backward guitar" sound.
2. How to Make the Autoriff on the GT-6 Worth a Shit
Turn on the autoriff. Turn up your amp. Pull the cord out of your guitar. Grab the plug with your fingers. Record it. Instant industrial song. Spontaneously combust with a bout of sheer depressive angst.
3. Delay
Not exactly a trade secret, but I've gotta admit that it took me longer than it should've to actually figure this out. Set the delay at 200 ms with the level at 100% and have it feed back the delayed note once. Start playing to the point where you pick one note and then pick the next one on time with the next delay beat. Keep going with this pattern. Now set the delay for 300 ms and play at the exact speed that you were before. Enjoy playing "Big Sur Moon" by Buckethead or Petrucci's solo in "Surrounded" without having to possess any of their talent.
4. "Hit By A Bus" Distorted Power Chords
Take your amp and set it up in the middle of the street with the distortion on. Play a power chord. Then get hit by a bus. Drives girls insane.
What else ya got?
