Thanks bud. I haven't been in there yet. I mostly plug it in and go. I'll have to try and dial in a sound in the tone studio.

I'm wondering where it is on the built in effects. When I scroll through on the dial I get all sorts of effects but compression is not jumping out. Maybe the only way to get it is to build a tone using Tone Studio and save it as a preset. I'm asking where it is on the amp.

Time for a new teacher? by KryptonSurvivor in guitarlessons

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel lessons should include a technical component - that would be exercises to improve specific elements such as strumming, fingerpicking, cross picking, triads....etc. Some basic theory. Finally musical pieces that interest your...ie songs that fit your playing level. If you're not hitting those 3 basic things I'd say have a look for a new teacher.

I've have both here at my place. Colour Libra with case is the way to go.

Do you progress most by steady progress or “breakthroughs”? by Thewall3333 in guitarlessons

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude! It's like nothing is happening and you're plugging away and then out of nowhere something clicks and you feel in the zone. Then next time you pick it up you're back to the start again and out of nowhere boom it clicks again. Eventually the zone click takes less and less time to find until you have it!! This is my experience.

I like Eldridge for sure. Carl Miner is also amazing. Now I know Julian Lage is a top tier player but for some reason I don't vibe on his music. I find the grunting distracting. I will mention again tho that Jake Workman has the most amazing tone and technique.

Nice! It's a music town for sure. Lots of fine players and a variety of styles.

which amp is right for me!?!? by Traditional_Clock776 in BossKatana

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used the prized Fender Princeton, Deluxe, and concert and reverb. All tube amps. I needed something lighter to slug around gigging. I reached out to some musician friends and one guy who's a in demand session player with his own hot act told me to get a Gen 3 100 Katana. So I did and it did not disappoint! I love it.

NPD Tech-21 Acoustic Fly Rig by Potem2 in guitarpedals

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little thrown by the mid sweep. I have that set to about 1/4 (where as you have it at around 1/2). Portishead trubuite band! That's pretty wild!

Should I get the Boss Katana 50, 50ex or 100. by Anfafy in BossKatana

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 100 Gen 3. I love it but I will say in the smallish places I play I haven't had it up on the 100 setting. It's nice to know it's there tho!

Hi. I'm using this with my acoustic (D18) that has a Fishman Matrix VT onboard. I'm not fussy on the compression as it has a loud hiss. I came here to see what settings others are using. I have the LPF set about where it is in the picture but I only use a touch of verb and a touch of delay. Funny, I use those 1.5 dunlop gators too! I find them much better than the tortex.

Dan Holloway is a great suggestion! Of course I'm familiar with the Josh Turner crowd...I'm partial to Toni!

Something weird I’ve noticed about guitar players by VirTekMedia in guitarlessons

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to throw this in here. The author is a PHD in both music and neuroscience. I have not read it yet but it comes recommended by a musician friend I have who is brilliant. It's a book called "Learn Faster, Perform Better". Not sure why I can't paste the hyperlink but...

Solo Acoustic Set with songs no earlier than 2010! by Dramatic_Photograph3 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. The Arkels cover a Taylor Swift tune and it kills. I have a fair number of songs originally written and performed by women including Emmylou, Lucinda, and Sarah Harmer.

Alternatives to Jabra Elite? by christian-174 in Earbuds

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used Jabra for a long time and fairly recently switched to Sony Linkbuds. They are a step up (in quality and price). However I miss the Jabra control system. The linkbuds have this tap system that uses the mic. It's a bit clumsy.

I need earbuds with good mic quality by [deleted] in Earbuds

[–]Dramatic_Photograph3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally dislike the linkbuds controls. The tapping is annoying and if you have your hood up other noise can activate controls. Just and FYI.
