    They All Sound the Same Part Deux

    I'm terrible at these things but whichever is which, #1 is glorious, #2 is very nice, and the others are too different for me to fairly assess.

    Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

    Slayer Seasons in the Abyss tour 1991 in Denver. Maiden was a much better production in a glorious venue but the experience of the open floor mosh pit and being smashed into the stage in the front row, plus the overall energy, of an early(ish) Slayer concert is something that can't be...

    Multiple Block Puzzle - can this be done?

    The only issue I see with that on the FM3 is there are only 4 rows in the grid (and 4 channels on the MUX, IIRC) so it'll limit you to 3 effect rows vs. 4 if you could bypass all (or at least the selected one).

    Oopsie. Yep, that is what I get for typing pre-coffee. 👍
  22. Manny Kuhn

    Multiple Block Puzzle - can this be done?

    Depending what the Voes can do with channels, you might be able to use a Multiplexer block with the various effects setup in rows (serial) with each row set to a different Multiplexer channel, then use the Voes to select, A/B, or +1 the channel.

    Strat Expert needed ( Trem replacement ?)

    Or, I suppose you could try and go hardtail with the guitar. You'd want to find a surface mount bridge that is large enough to cover the original cavity and still have enough wood for the mounting holes.

    Strat Expert needed ( Trem replacement ?)

    Barring some sort of top-mount tremolo, like the one above, or without a massive body rebuild, I think you are out of luck. The routing for the Freeflyte trem removes all of the wood needed for traditional trem mounts so there is nothing to screw the posts into, not to mention you'd need to...

    Lok-N-Roll Compensated Locking Nut

    Yep.

    Lok-N-Roll Compensated Locking Nut

    I guess I don't understand how, if a fretboard has a compound radius, say 10-16", it better that the string radius not follow the fretboard radius. Effectively the Lok is raising the outermost strings on the frets closest to the nut, the intuitive result being those strings have to be displaced...

    Lok-N-Roll Compensated Locking Nut

    I was looking into getting a Lok-n-Roll for another guitar and noticed a bit of new information on the home page: This seems surprising as the majority of electric guitars, even most shredders, have a fretboard radius at the nut that is smaller than 15". Stock R2 and R3 Floyd nuts have a 10"...

    New Midicontroller Voes MC-series

    The FM3 can't supply phantom power to the Voes, so you'll either have to use a separate AC adapter to the VOES or use/make something like the Rocktron 5-7 pin midi cable and plug the AC adapter in to the cable on the FM3 side.

    Lok-N-Roll Compensated Locking Nut

    That is exactly how the bottom of my nut looked after leveling. Here is a side view of the ebony shim I installed. The gap at the edge of the fretboard looks much larger than it really is due to the light and the way the edge of the nut and fretboard are contoured.

    Lok-N-Roll Compensated Locking Nut

    I spent some time playing with the nut installed and liked it enough to put in the effort to get it dialed-in better. After flattening the underside, I made a new shim out of ebony to replace the stack of metal Floyd shims and to better match the ebony fretboard. As I mentioned previously...

    I have the same experience as you. The difference between the two voices is more like a coil-tap with a smidge of EQ rather than a completely different pickup sound. The HFT is also really subtle. I've tried the Classic (open and standard), Modern, and a Merrow set and the internal...

    New Suhr has "dead" notes :(

    If I am understanding correctly and the dead notes are always located on the 10th and 11th fret, you probably have a high 12th fret that is choking off the note. A check with a small straightedge that will span 3 frets is the easy way to check as the straightedge will rock if there is a high...
