The Crimson King Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Korg has an ARP Odyssey clone. I have no idea who would want this. I still have an ARP Axxe that hasn't come out of the case since 1982 They also are releasing an interesting polyphonic analog synth called Prologue. Would love to see this in a module. • 8 or 16 voices, Three Oscillators per voice, Multi-timbral splits and layers • Newly developed open source multi-engine with 24-bit floating point DSP-based effects • 61 Keys (16 voice) or 49 Keys (8 voice).

Looks like it's a sh*tload of unidirectional mics all working together somehow. I don't get how it would separate say, certain bass frequencies and a kick drum, or discern between similar guitars. I am intrigued, though. I want one. If it works like they say it does it would be amazing to have. *Passes hat around* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Fender Unveils New Pedal Line Press Release January 25, 2018 Scottsdale, AZ (January 25, 2018) -- Inspirational new effects pedals for your creative toolbox, Fender EFX pedals give you full control over your sound, creating any tone you can imagine. Not mere copies or clones of existing designs, these effects are all-original circuits that were designed by our in-house team of experts. We consulted a panel of working musicians while designing these pedals, and the resulting stompboxes are packed with stage-ready features. Crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, the chassis are engineered for heavy-duty use while the LED-backlit knobs show your control settings at a glance – even on dark stages. The exclusive, patent-pending, magnetically-latched 9V battery door makes it quick and easy to swap batteries and the instantly identifiable LED Fender amp jewel can be easily seen from across the stage, leaving no doubt as to the pedigree of this pedal. Packed with an inspiring palette of tonal colors and stage-ready features, these pedals are unmistakably from the company that defines legendary guitar tone—Fender. ================================================================================ Innovative new tools from Fender, all that will work with a 9V battery ! imagine that now at your feet you can have individual boxes that you can turn on and off with a tap of the foot ! You can now have FX like compression, reverb and delay with dials and stuff ! How did we live without this all these years? Seriously though, lots of controls and they do look interesting. Probably perform like all the others though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Speaking of Fender, they issued a new thinline Start with an F-hole. Wood is alder. Not quite sure how that is going to sound, but it has their V neck which doesn't fit me well As I am not a semi-hollow player I thought you guys could opine on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Claw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Fender released a whole new line of hybrid guitars this namm to go along (or replace) their pawn ship line. Not sure how I feel about them as they’re just partscasters. Fender and Gibson are just not putting out much new stuff that I like. Every time I turn around Gibson’s got some new gadget they’re bolting to a Les Paul, and Fenders coming out with Straguars or Jazzamacasters. I get that they’re trying innovate in a market that most of the true innovation was done 50 years ago, but they just seem to fall flat. I dunno what it is. The pedal world, though, there is some cool chit out there. Most of it is over my head but there are some great, creative new pedals out. I just picked up one of the new Supro overdrive pedal and it’s pretty killer. Doesn’t exactly replicate their amps like they advertise, but so far it’s one of the nicer OD’s I’ve tried in a while. The JHS Morning Glory is another great OD.Anybody got a recommendation for a delay pedal that has a memory bank so I can save some presets for quick recall? There’s a couple I know of but haven’t tried out. Would love to get your guys’ take on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a couple I know of but haven’t tried out. Would love to get your guys’ take on them. Boss' DD-500 has patch memories, a lot of versatility and best of all an absolutely necessary tap button. Also works on batteries if you are not using a pedalboard. Boss products are good but just not great, maybe a little digitally? Probably just suggestive preconception though. There are probably cheaper Boss pedals with presets but I'm too lazy to look them up. The Strymon Timeline is supposed to be amazing with presets and great sound but I've never seen one plus it is expensive https://www.strymon.net/products/timeline/ but I have heard that ot is top notch Eventide makes high end stuff and I have tried their Time Factor and loved it. I think it also has presets Gotta agree 100% with everything you said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPitch Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I too cant stand "Patches". My buddy I jam with is an AXE freak, and to my ears (but I keep my mouth shut) it all sounds like crap. Too fake, too digital, too harsh no warmness. Maybe crap is a poor term, but its digital and aside from some cool stuff like his hammond patch, i dont care for it. Plus, i cant deal with parameters and displays. I need knobs..... As for "too many guitars" yes, for me you can have too many. I was up to 8 until I realized Hey I havent played or seen 5 of them in a year. What I did was thin the herd. I sold a bunch off, and bought me the sweetest playing 1976 sunburst LP custom. Glad I did. It was expensive though... As for amps, I had a JCM 800, a Dr Z maz 18 with reverb, a marshall jtm 60, a jtm 30, a blues jr and a mesa 5:50 express. Guess what? I painfully sold the 800, dr z, jtm60 and am now selling the mesa. Im keeping the JTM 30 for my rehearsal space and the blues jr is in my trunk 24/7. I HATE carrying stuff to gigs. That blues jr is plenty loud for any hall/bar and anything bigger it gets miced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I did. It was expensive though... The real problem with too many guitars is that you run out of room to store them after awhile. Then you want to thin the herd as you noted, but you can't for so many reasons. You have to keep birthday presents (wife overdid this for years), high end ones you ordered specially and mid rangers that you take out of the house to play. Then do you get rid of the P90 model that you also have a humbucker version of? ... or the Strat with the GK-2a built in? Gotta keep that or dump the VG-8 and GR-1 even though you haven't taken either out of the box in quite a while ... or the cheap Carvins that no one wants? ... or the Eric C.

I’m looking to sell the twin, it’s just plain impractical. I can’t turn it up past 2 at all. The Traynor is all tube. The OD channel is terrible but the clean channel is stellar!! I always try to replace it and always end up coming back to it. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just big, heavy Canadian built monsters that could pin your ears back. The YBA’s were sick. Once they got to switchable channels they lost their balls. The new ones have a good clean channel (similar to some of the fender Hot Rod series) like he said, but the second channel sounds a little too brittle for my taste.Another great Canadian amp company was Garnet. If you can find one, they’re not super expensive and have a unique grind when cranked. Great rock sounds. They were the amps the Guess Who used. The “American Woman” lead sound was a Garnet head. Twins are great, but yeah- lugging one around is hell. There’s just no need for 80-100 watts at a club gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty side is godawful, just about as ugly as it gets. The clean side though is just something else man, I have the channel volume just below breakup and Master volume to manage overall volume. Like I said I have a Twin as well and the Traynor’s clean just has more character. I also much prefer the Reverb on the Traynor which seems like blasphemy. The twin, much like volume, Reverb can go to about 1.5 to 2 and anything beyond that is just a messy washout. I’ve had this Traynor for 15 years and tried to replace it countless times and keep coming back to it.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how they’d filter out unwanted frequencies in the individual tracks, or even GET the tracks individually. Interest piqued!! Yea ive been recording all my life and there is no way one mic could possibly do all this. First off, drums need to be close miced to sound like a drum. You can do an overhead image, which sounds different and ok but no way will you get a tight drum sound with one mic, far away with tons of bleed. The best this can be is an advanced frequency filter that can isolate stuff, but you never get great sound like that becaue theree are harmonic freqyencies associated with any instrument that would be filtered out. Additionally, one mic is mono. There is no stereo image even. Thats lame..... This product makes claims like it defies gravity.
