Musician Gear & Tech Discussion

I would guestimate yes. He apparently had one in his chain that night and it def sounds like that "telltale somewhere between a chorus and phaser" tone. (DISCLAIMER: no hendrix expert here by any means)

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, I got a new little catalog from GC yesterday there was this micro polyphonic guitar synth pedal, cant remember the name, but it said it would make your guitar sound like an organ, I left it at home and marked it so Im gonna check it out.

I haven't heard it, but what about this Electro-harmonix Superego pedal: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie ... ects-pedal

That looks pretty cool Mike.

Im just looking for something wacky!

That might be the ticket.

Mike check this one out, it might be more what Im looking for.

I'm a bit confused by this pedal, seems like just oscillators that are in no way controlled by the gtr... then he clicks something in a bit later that sounds neat, but I'm not sure it's the same pedal? I dunno, not for me really but maybe this is a bad demo?

Sounds like a sitar pedal to me.

I went to gc today and picked up a EH Superego Synth Engine but I DONT REALLY LIKE IT. I THINK IM JUST GONNA GET A ROLAND SYNTH GUITAR SETUP. Sorry Im yelling im on my phone and havent got the feel for it yet

nice, one can have a lot of fun with a gtr synth.
I had a gr series ages ago but could never get past the latency. Nowadays I would guess they have come a long way. I played around with a vst guitar to midi converter a while back and it seemed much better than I remember the gr to be. You'll have to keep us posted on what you get and how you like it.

cheers,

Well this morning I started looking around the house at all the guitars Ive accumulated, and I think I may just get rid of a few of them, when I was at GC yesterday I picked up one of those EVH guitars, you know the frankenstien guitar, with the stripes and played it, and it felt good, so I may try to trade for one of those, just to have it.

JW you got anything with a bigsby on it?

I always wanted one but I hate tremolos.
I used to play with this guy that was near ancient and he used to tell em that a good guitarist can do anything a tremolo can with only his hand.

Now I flatten out every tremolo I use and the ones with the specialty stuff go unused. I have a nice Ibanez RG550 from 1987 but I just don't bother with it and that edge tremolo is a joke.

jw... sounds like someone has G.A.S.!

starfish... I know you didn't ask me so forgive my narcissism:
I have an epi es295 w a bigsby... it def has a dif feel from other trems. I agree that many things can be accomplished similarly w/o a trem... but it's tuff to do that "sleepwalk" tremolo w/o a bigsby.

Capt I have a LP studio, a washburn. Acoustic electric and epephone sheraton I may try to get rid of

No bigsbys

Mike, don't be so touchy. "It's all good in the bmix hood".

Anyone that has a Bigsby is welcome or even played one.
I was just thinking that a tele with a Bigsby might be right for my next weapon of war or maybe a Gretsch.

I am thinking that people might not be so alarmed by it.

I saw someone cringe looking at a LP that some guy was about to play and I laughed. I was like, "are you afraid of the tremolo or the LP"?

He's like, "what's a tremolo"? LOL


And Scott will due unless you don't like using Scott.
Some drunk chick wanted to call me Steve, I was like "whatever floats your boat".

sorry, just fumbling over the excitement of talking about bigsbys I guess!

Relax we all like the the hardware guy or equivalent thereof.

How else do we find out about what's good vs what's junk?

I am anti-guitar center and anti-sam ash as well.

Been going to NYC to shop pawn shops, but even if you find something it's over priced now and that's just plain ole wrong..
