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?

Re: My idea for a distortion. Pedal

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...

Re: Randy's Chorus and Flange settings

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.

Re: Christian Rock

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.

Re: My idea for a distortion. Pedal

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...

Christian Rock

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....

Re: Getting old sucks

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...

Re: Randy's Chorus and Flange settings

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...

Re: Randy's Chorus and Flange settings

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...

Re: Comet C/2012 S1 (a.k.a. Comet ISON)

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 :lol:

Re: Crystal guitar frets

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...

Re: New hope for the 'Legacy'?

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...
