Re: Piezo users…

Somewhere that I couldn't find is a rig rundown of Pete Townshend's gear. I think it's his guitar tech they interview, but it might be Pete, and he gives a very clear demonstration of how he blends piezo into his sound and when he uses it and why. Its worth your time. It was a print interview where ...

Re: Most trouble-free solution (tracking-wise) for guitar synth?

I've actually gotten the AX-100 rackmaount unit to track as well as the tripleplay, but YMMV. Its old, but not as old as me. The newer stuff will always be supported longer, but eventually this will pass. It really just depends upon what you want to do with it. I ended up going with the GK3 > GR55 f...

Re: Most trouble-free solution (tracking-wise) for guitar synth?

You are looking for the fisherman tripleplay. Do some searches and let jennifer batten lead you down that road. Alternately, there's a big learning curve to the other options. The big thing is that it will change the WAY you play: less sloppy and more classical technique to avoid ghost notes. you wi...

Re: 2001 Fly Supreme

What I think is crazy is all that work that went into building it and they sold it with a gig bag. I *do* swear by the parker gig bags, though. I spent a fortune buying an artist recently (2 years? 3 years ago.) that was a beater and STILL overpriced for what it was and I had to buy 2 deluxe to salv...

Re: The Eagle has landed!

Mine has that same thing: Piezo & Mags together are a bit louder than expected. I kind of solved this by adjusting the piezo on the board under the hood, but I still need to dial it down. Middle position mags is the best sound i've ever gotten out of a guitar, though, and sounds different with d...

Re: The Eagle has landed!

I was once in a band that decided we would all dress in white (with hats!) and all play white instruments.

Its sort of an inside joke.

Don't sell this.
Unless you are retiring. Way to much work went into it.

Re: Gus's Byzantine Fly Mod

Looks like a solid set of choices. You won't be sorry about choosing RMC. I think you can skip the S2. Synth/Mix/Guitar switch. I've moved away from that in 2 recent mods and found I can just leave it on mix and bury the switch in the cavity to re-visit if I ever decide I need it again. You just hav...

Re: Control Board

From the photo, I'd say that powerchip is toast.
Its easy enough to wire up a replacement and for a few hundred dollars that's what I recommend.

They sound really nice and don't take up a lot of real estate. Buy the chip and let a decent tech have their way with it.

YMMV
