I gig with a Bud 6 as do my friends Bruce Forman and Howard Alden. Jimmy Bruno and my friend Doug Martin use one as well. Too bad for you that the rest of us have had better results.
Tested the Bud 6 at a quartet gig the other day, it was pretty disappointing. I will say it is audible with a drummer, but it doesn't sound good. I tried vocals, guitar, and vocals+guitar together....
Think about how a capacitor works: it passes frequencies to ground. We don't hear the signal that goes through the cap. Another option is running a resistor from the hot wire of the pickup to...
Cool! I didn't take quite the same path, but do have a retro cab setup with modern amplification - mine looks like a '48 Dual Professional, but has a modern tube preamp and Class D power amp driving...
Don't know how physics would allow you to hear a difference in a simple guitar roll off circuit. I use orange drops because they are big and easy to handle and look cool. off topic and you're...
It's the same, regardless of the amp. A single-pole single-throw switch with two terminals is fine. It doesn't need to be expensive, and smaller is better for that use. Its only purpose is to open...
Appreciate the video. Unlike some earlier archtops, I have had the opportunity to play several earlier Epiphones. They were all dry punch. By 'several' I mean like half a dozen so. There seemed...
Joe Yanuziello makes fabbo guitars. He built three thinline hollow semis early in his career, and I've had the good fortune to own two of them. I kept the one with the larger neck.
Sorry, didn't mean to be obscure. Full Range Flat Response, like a PA speaker. Roland JC55 amp.
Expensive parts are sometimes advertised as having "mojo". "Mojo" has no mass or energy but is electrically active, always making things sound "cooler". It can be expensive but, with the right...
Oil and paper is ancient, and unreliable, technology. Any modern capacitor will do the job just fine, it's the value that counts. The only caveat is that the tolerance can be different for...
Thanks. Since I posted that question I've read a couple of long threads discussing the debate you refer to. So maybe my new question should be where can I get a high quality modern capacitor? They're...
The divide is so sharp that there are essentially two kinds of people: Those who claim that capacitors of the same value have the same electrical effect no matter what they're made of, and those...
Damn that thing sounds amazing and really beautiful playing. The Neo's sound absolutely great doing what you are doing with your settings. I am enthused by this because there are very few capab!e...
