    Delay pedal recommendation?

    I dunno but I always see alot of Behringer talk here http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/search.php?searchid=1934676 (this above is a search in Effects with Behringer in the title) I seem to remember there's some good Behringers and some bad ones.

    Checklist for pedal problems

    GREAT thanks.. I've got cleaner and I swap pickups all the time & I'm not afraid to solder.. I'm smart with a pedalboard case and I don't abuse stuff, but this particular pedal (the flanger) has pretty tall knobs and I think I must have accidently kicked them a few times. It was in a new spot...

    Checklist for pedal problems

    Can anyone help me build a list? I think it would include tips on: 1-open the back, clean the contacts/jack thingie? 2- how do we see if a knob/pot is bad 3- how do we see if the footswitch/button is bad 4-how do we see if a toggle switch has gone bad (can you =see= these things?) Thanks...

    Your "NUMBER ONE"

    mine is this 2003 Fender "Vintage Players Strat", supposedly one of 250 made. They were gold or some kind of blue. I bought it in 2005. There were two identical ones sitting up on the wall, unsold since 2003. In a shop with black shredder guitars and Krank amps. I played both of them over the...

    Question for tech or other wise guitarslingers

    I put the Carvin away again .. Can't get used to that super slim back on that neck... Back to this ! Except its got a fullsize HB in the bridge now. Angled like the SC. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/alanfc/whtdone.jpg I had a feeling this would happen again. Atleast I didn't go out...

    new car dance

    I was looking at Hybrid Ford Esape, hybrid Saturn Vue before this buy......... but then I thought about being broken down in the boonies somewhere and having mechanics that know how to repair them... Not a good prospect. Maybe 10 yrs. from now I will look at them again.

    What strings do you use?

    back to .011's on the Carvin :rolleyes: I can't go back to smaller ones. The tuning is too good with .011

    Agility ! Flexibility ! All around natural player

    yes thanks. here's a link to a clip of a singer I just saw on another board... I'm working on playing his vocal melody with the same style for example, just for the challenge. I think I'm going to do more of this, go outside the guitar a bit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqBdtB5KWgI

    new car dance

    ok I know I'm a spaz and I've got some real pics now. This afterall was a gear purchase eh ? In the cargo, actually there's these spaces on each side of the cabinet that I found yesterday are perfect for groceries. No cargo net needed (I don't think) The cargo cover comes next week and I can...

    Thank you all indeed- I may have not written my question well enough... I am not in despair and I have not lost my way, rather, I am looking to trade recipes, so to speak... thanks

    Agility ! Flexibility ! All around natural player

    Every time I'm on the boards here and elsewhere, and I see posts of some wicked fast cool guitar playing on Youtube- I get in this intense practice mode, like learning the licks and trying to work up to speed.. after about 10 minutes of this I go "and I'm doing this for WHAT? "... Its this...

    new car dance

    "I'd be glad to share as long as you are not buying in my neck of the woods " ha ah you BASTARD ! :D I can understand that. As far as I saw, these used were 14k-16k USD in the LA area..depending on the mileage. Thats from a dealer or Carmax though. Private party I've no idea. I won't need to...
