    Sunrise Splendor on FM9 is GREAT

    you can turn up the bass response in advanced or turn up 4000 and 6400 w/ graphic eq set to post for a brighter sound (or a combo of both). Turning up the bass response gives more bite so turning down the drive or level may be desired. I like turning up the bass response to 6-8 and adjusting...

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    oddly enough the volume boost when summed at the audio interface can compensate for the decreased intensity of some of my heavier stereo effect presets. Its when the left and right signals are out of phase where things can get funky. Every patch is different. I just check to see if it sounds...

    Haha, I know why what it is with the lfo lights. He bypassed it when he kicked the looper on. Duhhhh. I got it my tc1210 to sound fairly close by only enabling channel1 and run a dry phase reversed signal in parallel. That gave it that flangy whoosh sound and more movement in the stereo field.
