I have tested out a lot of amps in the past
week and a half and the best sounding one for 
the money is the SEYMOR DUNCAN 84-50.

	But I really wnat to know if there is
something that I don't know about it. Is it a really
good amp? No one ever talks about here (although I don't
get to read this alot). 
	Can any one tell me ANYthing about this amp
before I go out and spend my last little bit of
money on it.

		Thanks!

I don't usually respond to this kind of note, but since you said forget 
the price, I will.  :)

None of the units you mentioned (Roland, ART, DIGItech, Alesis) etc...
even come CLOSE to comparing with pro-level-gear:

- Eventide
- TC Electronics
- Lexicon
(Just to name a few)

I thought my QuadraVerb was nice until I heard a TC 2290, some Lexicon
reverbs.  The Quad sounds SICK in comparison.  :)

Which is best ?  Who would even DARE to attempt an answer ??
Not me...

I might rep-phrase your question like "Would a QuadraVerb suit my needs ?"

FYI:

On Saturday (9/26) I drove over to Tampa, FL.
to buy an amplifier from Thoroughbred Music.
BTW, it's a huge knock-your-eyes-out music store,
and I got a new Fender Princeton Chorus for $330.

The reason for the post is that while I was there,
Paul Reed Smith put on a mini-concert and guitar
clinic. For those of you unfamiliar with the name,
he sells a line (PRS) of very well-made and very
expensive guitars. He said that this was the first
of a number of promos to be put on in the major
music stores. He had a 5 man band, GGGBD, and they
played for about an hour to a crowd of about 100
in the store. Very professional, indeed. The locals
went away impressed, as did I. Paul played on a
guitar with a dragon inlay - absolutely beautiful!
Sorry I don't remember the names of all the guys,
but a fella named Mike on guitar was incredible,
and was introduced as one of DC's best. The drummer
used to be with Mahogany Rush.

The numbers they played were chosen to showcase
the variety os sounds available from PRS guitars.
Each member played a different model PRS through
Marshall and Mesa/Boogie stacks. After the concert,
they spent about an hour talking about how they
build their guitars and answering questions. They
even let people handle that dragon axe.

If the clinic comes to a store in your area, IMHO
it's well worth your time.

  Ive, got a question regarding tone and sustain, 'What is a
 good way to get more sustain on my notes without distortion?'

  For my current setup I'm using a Bill Lawrence Strat which I
 predominately play on the neck pick-up, and a Torres Eng Mid
 range control in the middle tone position set to zero to get
 that thick chiming blues tone. I run this into my Fender Super
 Champ and get great tone but in order to get the level of sustain
 I want I have to overdrive the amp more than I would like and get
 alot of grunge.
  I have thought of going to heavier strings to bring out the 'B'
 and 'E' better, but how can I get more sustain?

   Yup, you is right.. I just grabbed a book and checked... Tubes are
   even, transisiters are odd, which makes some sort of sense, I think.

What book is this?  What does it say specifically?

A single common-emmiter bipolar transistor stage actually has more 2nd
harmonic than 3rd, a push-pull tube output stage is almost entirely odd
order distortion, and early transistor amps had a lot of even order
distortion.  (I believe the source of this misconception is an incorrectly
applied electrical engineering class example having to do with the Fourier
analysis of the exponential transfer function of an idealized single
bipolar transistor stage.)

What I'm saying here is that the ratio of even to odd harmonics has little
to do with the sound of a guitar amp.

   With the advent of digital gear, it *IS* possible to have your setup
   sound just Like a Marshall stack *IF* your amp is *incredibly* clean
   and not overdriven. 

Well no, digital distortion is mighty problematic due to aliasing and all.
(Digital distortion of a band limited signal will create harmonics out of
band, which'll be aliased down to non-harmonic frequencies and sound pretty
bad.)  Best to stick with analog here.

Hey,

I friend of mine has lent me her Epiphone 12 string.  She hasn't played it 
in years and just visited her parents home and brought it back.  She said
I can use it for a while.  It's beautiful.  I don't know how it sounds yet
cause it needs new strings.   Anyway, does anyone know how you go about 
finding the year and worth of an instrument such as this?  It's an Epiphone
Serenader 12 String, Serial number 135543, style FT85.  It's been in an old
garage for a long time with the strings loosened.  She said it's about 30 years
old.  I think it's much older.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows something about old guitars.  Please post

Well, not really.  MIDI only allows you to store what was DONE by the musician, not the sound.  For example, if a guitarist plays an A chord the MIDI pickup will transmit information about what notes were played, what the amplitude was, and whatever else the musician may have done with the guitar while playing the chord (at least whatever the pickup was able to detect).  The SOUND is actually produced by a synthesizer based on the information provided by the pickup.  Essentially, the MIDI pickup can only t


ransmit the mechanics of the music and not the music itself.

If you want to store analog sounds digitally, don't use a MIDI pickup.  Your best bet would be a sampler.  If you sample a guitar you could then send it to a friend and that friend could hear exactly what you played.  Sampling is merely recording directly to digital.  The only problem with samples is that to get decent sound you have to use a relatively high sampling rate - consequently this takes a relatively large (HUGE!!!) amount of hard disk space.  The networks can handle it, but for News you would pr


obably have to break the sample up into small pieces.

The biggest advantage of MIDI is that it takes very little data to send a lot of music to someone.  The only problem with that is that whoever is listening needs to have a synthesizer that can play your MIDI file.  It will not be guitar, but a reasonable facsimile.  How reasonable would depend on too many details to discuss here.  I highly recommend "Mind Over MIDI" if you`re interested in learning more about MIDI and what you can do with it.  I covers everything from the basics through the somewhat techni


cal.

Good luck,

  This seems as if it may be related to the "experienced beginner" thread...
I've been playing for 15 years, self-taught. Ironically, it seems the more
gear I've been able to acquire, the less time I have to use and enjoy it, 
and lately I'm lucky if I can do a 4-track demo of a tune in under 3 weeks.
Needless to say, I'm not playing as much as I'd like to. But whether it's
the infrequent playing, or the fact that I'm getting older (well, not *old*
-- gee whiz, 29 ain't old, is it?), or both, my playing endurance is going
down the crapper. At first I thought it was because of the extended chord
shapes I've been using these last few years, and the fact that I've really
been putting my left-hand pinky to the test with some of them... I never 
really learned to do a whole lot with the pinky (a disadvantage to being
self-taught and basically lazy when I was younger, I'd say). Now, even the
simpler barre chords can cause me to have hand cramps after just 10 or 15 
minutes of playing. Btw, I play a very low-actioned Ibanez electric, so 
string height and gauge are not the problems here.
  So, what I'm asking (and I apologize in advance if this is the "old-timer's
question-of-the-week"... I don't read this group as thoroughly as I should,
perhaps) is this: does anyone know of some specific exercises for the major
muscles in the hand (specifically, the one which moves the thumb and the one
which enables the pinky to move towards the thumb and the thumbward side of
the hand) which build strength and endurance, or is this a question best
posed to a guitar instructor?  Or a physician?  Or should I just start 
eating muscle relaxants and Geritol?  ;)

  Thanks much!

  Jeff

It's about that time... time to re-crown the frets, (yea! blortch)
I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to get ahold of fret files
easily. Catalog, store, anyone out there got one they want to let go cheap?
I called up the nearby guitar store and they said 60$ to order one jumbo
sized fret file... Now I *know* that you can get them cheaper than that, but
where?

Any users of the GSP 5 out there? I just bought one and would
like to get better sounds than the factory preset. If you got
any good patches you'd like to share please mail them to me.

Thanks in advance!
