To be honest I don't quite get why Christian bands seem to be 100% Christian when it comes to lyrics. I mean surely they can still sing about other things every so often?

It's good to see you again rob you have been on and off the past few months how you been ? I've been on and off for many years now, I used to be a real regular once. Real life has a way of taking over eventually. I'm throwing myself into some new projects, little time for guitar playing sadly. Spea...

I'm a little confused. Are you describing a pedal that adds a switchable loop to the chain direct into the amp? >B-->NonBypass Dist-----\ --->---[___Truebypass______>A_____________________]------------------->--->--AMP Or just putting a bypassed pedal after a non-bypassed pedal? -->---NonBypass Dist...

Dunlop adds true bypass to almost everything now a days

Well, that's good news, but not for me. I have three modern pedals that I bought around 2005-07 and none of them are true bypass... not too bad with the chorus though, it sounds fine through an effects loop.

Just wanted to share their efforts, they are a great bunch of kids and likely to disband soon as they move onto other things - university etc.

Rob

Many years ago I used to think that would be a good idea. Since buying a valve amp I have no real practical application for it. Volume knob on the guitar is all I need and has the added benefit of mixing in more treble which really produces the quality needed for a punchy lead/solo tone. But you are...

Hey all, I just wanted to post a video from a very young band I have been helping out recently. They are a bit of an odd bunch, most of the band is aged 14-17, with the exception of two older chaps - one writes the songs and is something of a musical director, the other is a trained studio engineer....

Happy Birthday, I think I was 17 when I joined this site, now I'm 24. Time really does fly past. Lot's of young people in their early 20's seem to have a 'young life crisis' these days, for a little while I even felt that way. Between the misleading crap on facebook and the reality of the world econ...

The only diffrence I can really tell with the ressuie is that it is now a true bypass MXR is making a true bypass stereo chorus? Well that sucks, I bought one six years ago and it's not, great pedal but the lack of bypass always bugs me. As far as I know all MXR pedals lack true bypass, so it would...

From what I remember of the bootlegs, Randy's use of chorus always seemed a bit inconsistent to me. On some of the shows you can't hear it at all, on others its very obvious, arguably getting a tad too strong in the mix depending on your taste in modulation. I suppose a lot of it would depend on the...

Can't say I know anything about this comet. I'm quite interested in the one that passed us recently and will supposedly return in the future. I really can't remember the details, just that it will swing round in about 20/30 years? And might hit us. Ancient civilisations are quite interesting when it...

In nine years of playing guitar I've only ever snapped two strings while playing, so i can't really say it appeals much to me

Rob

Interesting, but I'm more than a little sceptical :?: While I don't claim to fully understand the way a guitar makes its sounds, this seems a little odd. It's the vibration of the wood that gives a guitar its character, which in turn is why the neck joint and bridge are important (in transferring th...

Actually this is news to me. I don't pay any attention to rock'n'roll news these days. Don't even buy guitar magazines either. Have to say I'm actually a little shocked, with all they've been through I would have imagined they'd always soldier on. Unless there are other news sources we can't draw an...
