Re: Studio vs stage compressors - questions

actually now I think about it, pretty handy for another brick in the wall too. I just wondered if I was missing something... as you were. Funny you should mention that. I never know until I launch into it whether I will use compressor or not. Just haven't been able to make up my mind though nowdays...

Re: How do I dull down a shiny poly finish?

Can you test some 1500 grit wet & dry anywhere? Making sure it's wet of course.

Re: Studio vs stage compressors - questions

No not really what I intended, although I'm pretty much using no pedals nowadays anyway (touch of reverb and delay sometimes), just never really got a compressor to do what I'd imagine it should do - perhaps its a lack of patience but I've always just ended up using them as a boost. The horrible fr...

Re: How do I dull down a shiny poly finish?

Try a fine grade automotive cutting compound. it's less brutal than steel wool. If you change your mind, use automotive swirl remover and you're back where you started from.

Re: Studio vs stage compressors - questions

The Wampler has a blend control. I agree; it's a brilliant and useful thing to have.

Re: Studio vs stage compressors - questions

I've asked many times before why people like them but have never really received a satisfactory answer ... I've used Keeley and Wampler. Currently have a Wampler on my pedalboard. I use it for 3 things: 1. An effect. That chicken pickin Tele thing just ain't right unless you squash it good. 2. Note...

:cry: Sad day. One of my all time guitar heroes. Anything tricky or cool I can do on an acoustic, I probably stole it from Bert.

Re: Guitar Mindsets

I couldn't imagine life without single coils, and if I could only have one guitar it would probably be a Strat cos I can do 95% of what I do on it. But there is another Les Paul in my future when I meet the right one and I look forward to that day. :D Did have a weird acoustic mindset for a long tim...

Re: Line 6 DT25!

OK. Cranky 'I hate digital' old fart is officially impressed. Some of those clean tones were sweet.
The whole Dream Rig looked really tempting but I do wonder;
Would I live long enough to actually program it?

Same buyer also took the Ferrograph reel to reel machine. Perhaps we have a replacement Denche on the loose. :P
