Subject: The +new+ Peavey Valverb reverb/tremelo unit...
Organization: College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1993 18:09:33 GMT

On Saturday at Atlanta Discount Music I saw a Peavey Valverb for the first 
time...  I didn't get to use it because I couldn't figure out
how to use their goddamn amp, and the salesmen were uselesss always...
Anyways,  this unit looks like it will hum!
Its a "chrome" rack-mount unit with big old-fashioned knobs..
Talk about cool-looking! It has tremelo built in and a 3-band EQ
reverb...

Has anyone used it yet?     Why does it have TUBES in it?
How does it sound?
Is it worth $295?    (not that I will spend that much...  but maybe someday 
I'll have a first-born child I can trade in ...)

Maybe I can talk to bozos down to something reasonable...

It's probably a transfer decal, like on model airplanes, in which case, you
need to soak it in warm water for 15-20 seconds, at which time (maybe longer
if it's really old) you will notice the decal part coming loose from the backing.

Here's where it gets tricky. You need to move the whole mess to the headstock and 
carefully (read: this won't be easy) slip the decal onto the headstock gently,
slide it around to where you want it, then press it down gently with a really
soft, lint-free cloth, removing the wrinkles and air bubbles.

It should dry in about twenty minutes. If it gets stuck where you don't want it,
apply some mor water all around it, and it should lift up again.

Now, anybody know how I can get some Fender ones??

Publicly available facilities for printing music (CHORDPRO, MUTEX(?),etc.)

Any help is appeciated. Even a spice-listing would be sufficient.

These are great old Fenders. They only have about 
20 watts RMS, but sound great.

Anyway, around here (SF Bay Area) I've seen prices ranging from about
$300 - $600, depending on condition.

I was thinking that it would be kinda cool to be able to get lessons on the
net.  If someone who had teaching experience would be willing to post a
Lesson of the Week, it would be really great.  It could be set up to have a
section for each level of experience (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
I realize that everyones ideas that get posted are all very helpful, but if
there was a series of lessons that would take you from one point to
another, it would be somewhat like going for lessons.  

What I would be looking for from these lessons would be a theory section
followed by examples of usage.  For example, the theory section could
consist of a certain scale, and the example section could use that scale
in a popular song or a lead.  Techniques could be taught this way also.

Would anyone want to volunteer to take on this task?  I'm sure many of us
out here who are trying to get up to speed would really be grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

	I'm lookinag at purchasing an early '70s silver face Twin
Reverb.  The speakers have been replaced with Pyles, other than that, it's
stock.  What's a good price for such an amp?  They're asking $375, and
it's a little cosmetically beat up, but seems to be in very good working
order.

	I'm not really looking for recommendations about the amp, since
I *know* I want a Twin, but I'll listen if you have something to say
about it, especially with respect to one of this vintage.  Oh, and I do
realise it's no '64, but then, I don't expect to be able to afford one
of those any time soon.

Just get one of the necks that Schecter (or others) puts out. If you're truss
rod is "maxed out" then you're neck is pretty seriously warped. A fret job
would just be covering that up, and you're intonation may be off.
As for the finish, get your new neck unfinished, and put a sealer on it. It may
look cool, but your neck will rot out pretty quick (depending on how much your
hands sweat) without a sealer.
The selaer will give you the feel of an unfinished neck and still protect it
somewhat.

Good Luck

	I know a lot of theory, so I could handle that. My suggestion is
to have several specific people do differnt type of lessons. i.e., I could
do theory, someone who is fast could do speed, someone else could do technique,
etc. We could vote who would do each type. What does everybody think? No
flames please.

I didn't catch all of the Peavey Classic 50 string a while back. Can anyone tell
me how this amp behaves as you crank it up? I'm primarily talking about the 
clean channel - you know 'Clockwise is Rockwise.' I'd like to know:
	1- Where does the amp start to distort? (Given fairly fresh tubes.)
	2- How does the amp feel when it does break up this way -
	   is it a tight crunchy amp or a loose, sweet growler?
	   I think Steve (Blues Thang) mentioned it loosened up with age.
	   Was there enough change that the basic character of the amp changed,
	   or did it just 'mature'?
	3- How much does it distort on 10? (or is it 12?)
	4- Is the lead channel still musically useful when the amp is cranked?
	   (I bring this amp because my carvin doesn't behave well here-
	    the clean channel hints at some crunch on 10, but it is a lot louder
	    than the distortion channel with the master set to 10 and the gain
	    set about 4-6 to give just a little more distortion than the clean
	    channel.  It doesn't sound cool at all with high gain and high
	    setting on the master.)
	5- Just how loud is the amp when you run it this way? Does it blend in 
	    well with a band when it's wide open?
Just for reference I play a strat (Who ever needed anything else?) 

And also- has anyone seen the Classic 20 yet? It sounds really cool too, but
I don't know that they've been released.

Sounds like a good idea.  I suggest that we might spend
a few days discussing what sorts of lessons would be most appreciated by
readers of the newsgroup.  I like James B's initial list:

theory (general)
speed
technique

to this we might add things like:

tapping 
slide and open tuning
blues leads and tricks  (this could be thought of as specialized theory)
jazz leads and tricks  (this could be thought of as specialized theory)
finger picking

my suggestion is to make a short list of topics, say 5 or 6, or perhaps
even the above 8.  Then see if we can find volunteers to prepare an
introduction for each topic in the list.  That would take up the first N weeks
of weekly lessons.  Following this first pass, we might look forward
to a second lesson on each topic, and so on.  One nice thing about
this possible scheme is that the people preparing the lessons would
have several weeks to prepare, which would keep the individual workloads
down to a moderate level.  We would also have time to go home, work
on the material in the lesson, and give feedback to the instructor.
This feedback (questions, points of special interest) could be incorporated
in follow up lessons a few weeks later.

Although I expect to be very busy for the next several months, I can
volunteer to act as a coordinator if this role is required.

PJ

I've just built myself something similar for the same purpose. I took
a small battery powered amp with a small speaker (about 2" !), an old
stereo speaker, and connected the amp tp the speaker via its speaker
out jack.

I guess the same could be done with the Marshall micro-stack, or even
a headphone amp. The speaker was nothing fancy, just one from a
cheapie "music centre" that my sister was throwing out (it didn't work
anymore, but the speakers weren't the cause!)

It sounds reasonable, if not perfect, and would be loud enough for
busking. Just a suggestion...........

Vulcan harps made from earth wood never achieve the vintage Vulcan
tone.  The tuning is, logically, chromatic like Earth harps.  The
knobs control the onboard holographic sound projector.

Seriously, to those of you musicians who watch the old show; I always
wondered if the sound of Spock's harp was the famous "Guitorgan" Guitar/
Organ that Teisco Del Rey always mentions in the Off the Wall column (Guitar
Player Mag).

Of course, the bass riff that's played when Spock goes into heat, or a 
mind meld is a Danelectro 6 string bass. :-)
