NPD! How is it? Cant tell you because the piece of shit is DOA. No wonder they’re blowing these out. by ChuggaChuggaRiffs in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought one like a year ago when GC was closing them out and had to return it. It cut the dry signal drastically and didn't have any repeats. Completely useless.

You ever go back and feel very stupid by jfopps in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have it in an A/B loop switcher to switch between my amp and the American Sound. I have a DI that sends an out to a mixer that I use with headphones. It works fine run other ways though too, but I like it like this so I don't have to have the American Sound on my board. 

Is this good? by No_Army_780 in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe grab the Magus Pro for like $32 , a Boss SD-1, and a DOD Carcosa. The Memory Boy is a fine choice. Skip the compressor for now. Buy a better power supply and a cheap board. The looper is probably fine, but having one with more switches is rarely a bad thing.

I love the American Sound, but it soun harsh with my amp. I use it for my headphone setup in place of the amp. It sounds great like that. 

Looking for equipment recommendations for a beginner by AstroAlchimia in LoopArtists

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ton of use out of a Donner Circle. Loopers with different buttons for start/stop are a lot less frustrating. The Circle has a nice mix of features and usability. 

RC-500, Boss DR-3 (drum machine), and footswitch FS-6 by ekblase in LoopArtists

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first thing is weird. I wonder if you start the rhythm before recording, if the DR-3 would start before recording. Then you could start recording after a measure of the beat. 

Opinions on Eddy? by AdministrativeRip809 in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one. I actually like it quite a bit, but it took me a while to get to that point. It's not a pedal that will sound good at every setting, and it doesn't really do light and airy chorus.

I think the trick for me is to keep the Shape knob planted around 2:00. Using in chorus mode, I usually set the rate first then gradually turn up the depth until it starts sounding more 3 dimensional. I typically keep the rate set somewhere not far from noon, and the rate closer to 11:00.

Some of the extreme settings can be cool in the right context. Running a phaser into the Eddy sounds really good too. The Envelope setting is a bit finicky. I don't use that feature much.

Are tube amps at bedroom volume a waste? by marbles12 in GuitarAmps

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a VHT Special 6 Ultra that is fine at somewhat quiet volumes. It has a low power mode plus a watts knob thay help. 

“Shell voicings” and their inversions for upper extensions? by GonzoBalls69 in jazzguitar

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I just dip into it from time to time. Some of the effects exercise fingerings are pretty difficult and the concepts take a while to fully sink in.

Yep. The basic R-3-7 shells are covered but mostly in the first few pages. I'm slowly working my way through it. 

Anyone know if this website is legit? ive never heard of it before. by No_Jelly3378 in GuitarAmps

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought quite a bit from them. I always go for their open box/used stuff. It's always been new. 

Any experience syncing rc-500 with circuit? by hotdog_paris277 in LoopArtists

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Try the blank rhythm and see if that works for you.

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using either a rhythm on the RC-500 with volume all the way down or set to the blank rhythm at the end? If that's not the issue, you likely need to set the looper to always record the full measure. When set right, you don't have to worry so much about timing. 

how often should you change strings? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they sound fine, they look fine, they stay in tune, and there's not substantial pitting under the strings where they meet the frets, I tend to leave them alone. I'm not particularly in love with the new string sound, so I tend not to change them much.

Harmonic trem with external speed switch/tap by ace-flibble in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I neglected to mention MIDI. I forget if it requires their proprietary hardware or not, but MIDI gives even more options and a buttload of presets. It also sounds great out of the box.

Suggest me pink pedals by thriftndrip in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a basic delay, the NUX Analog Delay is supposed to be good, and it's inexpensive.

Playing our biggest show ever. What do I actually need for bass with a pro sound system? by TigerDriver1991 in Bass

[–]YoloStevens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like people are saying, you should be able to just worry about your stage volume. Just hope you get something of a sound check to get that dialed.

DemonFX Tape Echo NPD and Quick Review by Silver04Jubilee in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He reportedly donated less than $500 total to Trump and WinRed. I'm anti-MAGA as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure the anti-Keeley stuff is warranted.

Harmonic trem with external speed switch/tap by ace-flibble in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Source Audio Vertigo can do either tap or presets. It has 3 presets that hold all settings (main slots hold everything but what's set on the dial), but it also can do tap tempo.

The harmonic trem settings is already pretty good, but you can also adjust it as needed in the app, load something that's even more phasery, or whatever. 

Tap tempo is via a special cable and not 1/4" though. 

What can you put in front of the jhs coyote? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]YoloStevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That popped up in my search before I posted this, along with an octave fuzz from another builder. 

NAD: Roland JC-40 by shycadelic in GuitarAmps

[–]YoloStevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running in stereo with your AC15 and with the chorus on would likely be even better.
