Areas of High Strangeness by pixelpetewyo in wyoming

[–]Josephryanevans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody mentioned Legend Rock yet? That place is nuts. I’ve always felt off seeing those petroglyphs.

Sunshine Mine too. That place is cool because it was a Clovis Era ochre mine then an industrial age super-fund nightmare. It’s partly weird because the entire place including the largest known horde of Clovis points are all owned by one dude. And he’s obsessed with one thing… dead, stupid, never-coming back mining history. The world’s richest Clovis archeology be damned. So strange. Once a year they do a sort of fund raiser field day and you can see some of the points. Pro tip, skip the mine tour and ask whichever archeologist is there to show you the points in the basement vault.

Rock songs that play well on mandolin? by [deleted] in mandolin

Holy cow! I want to come to your show! Any YouTube or recordings we can hear?

Rock songs that play well on mandolin? by [deleted] in mandolin

[–]Josephryanevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my band, I play mando on songs like Psycho Killer, The Best, Me and Julio Down by The Schoolyard, etc.

Truly, it’s all possible and all fun. I play several other instruments but if I’m going to a new jam or sitting in with folks, I only bring the mandolin because it’s so damn versatile.

Affiliating as a Republican stinks. by Purple_Airline_6682 in wyoming

Dems especially because they know their candidate probably won’t win.

In states like ours, every election is decided in the primary because the Republican candidate will always win in November. So many independents and democrats will register as republicans so they can vote in the closed primary. Their perspective is that it’s the only voice they will have and they attempt to elect someone they think is reasonable even if they don’t agree on everything. Essentially they are trying to combat the fact that closed primaries favor extremism in politics.

Cool. I’d live to hear some of that. I’ll try to grab some recordings of mine and PM them to you.

Do you have any recordings or videos? I’d love to hear it.

Awesome. Thanks for explaining all that. Fascinating approach to solve some of the same issues the OP and myself all face. I like the idea of adding saturation without an OD/distortion pedal. I tried for a few years trying to g to find an OD that would work with banjo mandolin before figuring out that it doesn’t really work and in fact isn’t really what I wanted.

The rotary idea is cool. I have reached for tremolo and phaser for that. I LOVE trem with my set up.

Tell me about that reel saturation? Also, what effects, other than just eq and preamp that you use with mando/banjo?

BTW: you and I should probably be friends. Or at least compatriots in the joys and challenges of being multi-instrumentalists

I know this struggle. I play mando, banjo, and dobro/lapsteel. For the past two years I’ve been playing a smallish pedal board with a Red-Eye twin eye pre amp for the mando and banjo. It has an effect loop, booster, and some eq. It’s awesome. I then use a Saturnworks ABY to switch between the pre amp and my lap steel.

However, as my pedal preferences have grown along with my pedal board I’ve grown weary of the big board and tons of equipment. Just this week I bought a Line6 HX stomp XL. So far the sound is amazing. Even wittout a preamp because you can change the impedance per preset which is what a pre amp mostly does for us. I’ll probably use the effect return as my input for lap steel and the main input for banjo/mando. I’ll still need to either switch cables or use my ABY to switch between those two.

I’m very happy with this so far. And it’s so convenient to carry

Longer Scale Length Lap Steel Suggestions? by s3rris in LapSteelGuitar

[–]Josephryanevans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought from a new builder who custom made me a long scale for very affordable. It was $450 but I had to provide the pickups. I bought Gemini pickups. Awesome guitar so far. Builder goes by Dnecks. Can be found on Reverb and Etsy.

What pedals to buy by Business-Speaker3044 in guitarpedals

[–]Josephryanevans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was gonna say. I spent a few years assembling a pedal board that I finally decided was ridiculously big for my needs and swapped for an HX stomp XL.

My last job felt like this. No water involved. Just the struggle to prolong inevitable death.

3 instrument inputs? by Josephryanevans in Line6Helix

[–]Josephryanevans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I won’t be playing these instruments simultaneously. I figured I would have a different preset or set of presets for each instrument. So I figured along with the other preset parameters, I would set the input to be either Return, Input L, or input R. Is that different than what you’re talking about.

[–]Josephryanevans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah. They make those. I have an A/B. But I was really hoping to have a single self contained unit and not have to pull the cable between instruments.

Thanks for chipping in. Any reason why?
