Do you raise the 2nd string as well Lane?

I reckon that song would be hard enough to play as it is without having to pause to dry my eyes a touch.

That's a good idea Smile

It hadn't occurred to me to play it the other way around. I'll certainly throw some of that in here and there for trials.

I've definitely found some more uses for this change.

Tony's video also reminds me that I really need to add the 1st string raise to my setup. It's those classic little unison licks in conjunction ...

That's how I felt for quite some time! Very Happy

I like the sound of that Lane... I'm going to have to try it tomorrow when I'm sober.

It's definitely growing on me... Very Happy

I was drooling over the sound clips from your split Franklin pedal page yesterday Greg. It's part of what's keeps pushing me to finally get around to installing it. I really want to have that change t ...

Some great answers here! Thank you all.
That's what I love about these fora - plenty of experience and lots of interesting discussion.

I'm going to need to play with this one a bit more.

Ahhh Greg, you come up trumps again!
Thank you!

I used to follow your various little tutorials and snippets before everything went on hold for me.

Thanks John.
How do you tend to use it?

Hello all!
It's been quite a while since I've posted around here, I trust everyone is well?

Thank you gentlemen.
Some usefull suggestions there!
Adding a tone control to a preamp is a trivial matter so I'll definatly give those a look-see.

As you can see from my photo above I've currently got two pedals without and one pedal with.

My White steel had rubber pads on.

The B pedal pad had almost half worn away, the A pedal about a quarter. I removed what was left as I decided it looked untidy and polished the pedals.

For anyone who's ever shot you can think of it a bit like first and second trigger pressures.

Kind of makes you wonder who that "somebody" is doesn't it! Confused

...If you wear cowboy boots ,it'll be worse..JS

Yeah, tell me about it! Very Happy

With a standard hight pedal I have the back legs slightly higher than the front and my knee *just* misses the bottom of ...

Just the thought of lugging an oak guitar around makes me ache!

It's funny you know, when I first started playing guitar some years ago now, it was Mark Knopfler's (Dire Straits) playing that got me started. Although my style has developed since then I still find ...
