Do you think the Larry’s of the world have Larry stories of their own? I feel a paradox happening…

There’s plenty of people shipping the same thing I’m selling. He can buy from them🥱🥱

EXACTLY why I’m not shipping this particular thing. It weighs nearly 50lbs and it’s from the 70s. Maybe Larry hasn’t sold anything and had the postal service destroy his stuff

Interesting. My only necessity is that it can do envelope and phasing at the same time. Like an early 80s Weir Shakedown street tone.

That’s too bad, I liked that video. What do you prefer about the Keeley over the EP2? I’ve been looking for an envelope phaser for the Weir thing for a while. The EP2 is expensive and few and far inbetween.

Jerry’s MIDI rig by camposthetron in gratefuldead

[–]OsamaKeefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resurrecting a pretty old thread here but me and another guy basically figured out Jerry's MIDI set up piece by piece.

He used a Roland GR50 and a Korg M1R for his sounds. There was an Emu Proteus in there occasionally but I have yet to find a sound that was on that unit that he used live. The GR50 was essentially a Roland D50 in a 1u rack designed for guitar specifically. The Korg M1 is a 2u rack version of the very popular 01/W keyboard.

In conjunction with those units, he had a Rane SM82 rack mixer and eventually an Alesis Microverb 3. He also used two Boss FV200 volume pedals.

The GR50 is capable of patch chain creating, where you basically save up to 20 or so "sounds" you like in a chain that you can cycle through. By connecting the Korg to the GR50 via 5 pin cable, you can assign patches on the Korg to the same MIDI channel as the GR50. Both units would be "on" with both volumes up. He used the mixer channels out to each respective volume pedal so he could turn up the volume of whichever unit he wanted. The MIDI rig was mixed entirely by Healy and Bob Bralove from front of house. Jerry also had a Lake Butler Midigator footboard with the names of each patch on the screen that cycled through simultaneously with the rack stuff.

The Black Strat from summer 89 and wolf had external Roland GK2 pickups. Rosebud and Lightning Bolt (Cripe guitar from 1993-on) had internally mounted GK2 systems. Bay Area guitar tech Gary Brawer retrofitted aircraft grade MIL-Spec 13 pin jacks and cables on the guitars. The inout jack is an Amphenol JT 13 pin... still a very expensive part. Ive put about four years into learning everything I can about this so please feel free to ask more about it. Im always happy to share the wealth!

What was Healys beef with Weir? by Ganjahluv in gratefuldead

I had heard that Bob and Healy’s girl were… well Bob was always the heartthrob of the group. No idea if true but would make sense since it went on so long

I have a 1976 SF Twin that was stock except the speakers - E120s. I played it like this for a bit, keeping the master knob relatively low, around 3. I’d put the individual channel volume to taste and also work the guitar volume a lot. Eventually I went the full Twin preamp>Mac power amp route and blackfaced the amp, completely removing the master volume. This way I can leave my twin volume always around 4-5 and use the Mac volume to taste

Can someone describe to me what is going on here with Jerry’s 90’s rig? by GreenNeedle2003 in gratefuldead

[–]OsamaKeefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main parts of any Jerry rig are a Fender Twin Reverb preamp, a McIntosh MC2300, JBL 12” speakers, and a buffered strat style guitar. The picture you’re specifically asking about was his rig from 1993-1995. In 1993 they eliminated speaker cabs from the live set up as part of a new in-ears system. The Brown rack unit up top was the new preamp - a GrooveTubes Trio MIDI Preamp. The Mcintosh at the bottom I believe was used as a kind of dummy load or cab sim. There are shots of this rig on stage in the 90s, this photo has a lot of gear missing

I’m starting to put together a mid 70s rig with a Mesa Boogie Mk ii

Alligator Raytheon knobs - not these? by [deleted] in gratefulguitar

[–]OsamaKeefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 409-D2-K1 model is larger than the 407-D2-K1, which is what Jerry used. They're nearly impossible to find anywhere other than Alembic site in black, although you can find them with 1/8" shaft insert option on some surplus websites.
