[The Gear Page]( Trending Threads Newsletter [Can You Develop Perfect Pitch Just From Playing?]( Brent Hutto · Oct 9, 2022 at 2:29 PM · Replies 16 Most of my guitar time lately is devoted to listening to a tune (usually a simple melody like a fiddle tune or jazz standard) and trying to learn the basic melody then figure out a few harmony notes I can add to it. I try to learn tunes in the original key of whatever recording I'm listening to...

No stage, a few lights...they were just on the side playing. I think the bassist was different, other than that, it was Rick, Robin and Bun. How about you, ever see anyone before...

Apparently Drum Workshop bought them a while back, but not much seems to have happened. In another thread here, the consensus was that they were good for their time since they were practically the only acoustic guitars with on-board electronics, but today no longer necessary...

Modelling seems to be very popular with bass too. Not very many still use tube amps usually associated with bass: mostly Ampeg amps and a few...

They wax pot their pickups so is this a bad thing or just...

It is a best friend- very comfy, pretty light, and I love the tonal versatility of a Strat. Done 'a million' gigs and jams together- never any issues. All of my guitars are basically budget copies, of themselves - ( Strat, Tele, Dano, SG, Martin D, Blueridge 000), and all play and sound as I hoped!

But I can't get this pedal to power up on battery. It does, however, run fine with the One Spot. Anyone else experienced this? Should i really worry about this if it's gonna be a battery...

Not that the chassis is small but it seems like the head cabs are way oversized in comparison. Take the Traynor YBA1 as a counter example where the cab is no bigger than it...

The first one turned out great. Getting 121v from the wall. Powered on with the rectifier warmed up, I get 375v on the standby switch before flicking it on. This is ~50v higher than Valvestorm spec.
