I'm a new member and just wanted to say thanks for all of the great info I have found on this forum. I'm a life long musician but just got bitten by the psg bug a couple of months ago. Since then, this is where I have learned enough to know (I think) what to look for in my first psg. I was lucky enough to find this Sho~Bud Pro 1 in excellent condition for a very fair price.
I'm up and running after some cleaning and lubrication and new strings. I needed to make some adjustments using the info from Jon Light and others. I'm grateful and just wanted to say hey!

Hi Alan,
Welcome to the madness. It's a "nice little hobby."
Cool Sho-Bud! Love the grooved surface on the top the pedals. Did you pick it up locally? |

Great Choice for your first PSG!!!! 37 years with "Buds". I have owned a few of them over the years. I also own a Mullen S10. Great guitar. It plays well and sound good, but it ain't my "Bud". I have a Sho Bud Super Pro D10, 8 + 6. The Bud is my primary guitar for gigging. The tone that comes from the C6 neck is as sweet as it comes!!!! |

I run my Bud through a NV112 with light Reverb and light Digital Delay. Being that you are new to PSG you will find out that your Amp EQ settings are going to be much different than what they would be for Guitar. The voicing from your heavy strings and your small strings will require a sweet spot. Basically no boomy or woofy base strings and no bright tinny sounds from the small strings. Sweet Spot. Here are my NV112 settings, Lows +9, Mids -9, Shift 12:00, Highs -3, Presence 12:00. Ears and Amps may very a little. I know from experience that if your tone is not pleasing to your ears it will discourage you. The sweeter the tone, the more you will progress.

Sorry if I am boring you, but, put that volume pedal under the guitar below your right foot. Use it for sustain for sure. Left Hand, Right Hand, Left Knee, Right Knee, Left Foot and Right Foot. They will all work without thinking in time. |
