I'm not that familiar with MIDI, and I have a question.  I understand that
MIDI allows you to interface your instrument to a PC.  Can PC's now store
analog guitar sounds digitally, and if so, can you send them over standard
networks (internet, for ex)?  That would be so cool if guitarists could do 
this and be able to listen to others works.

Think how easy it would be to get your music heard nationwide.  Kinda like
a shareware music library!  If this isn't available now, how feasible is it in the near future, with Multimedia and all?

What I meant was that the argument "Yes, transistor amps sound as good

even if it's only some sort of placebo effect (which I don't think it is)
people will always claim that they sound different.

At the risk of starting yet another Fender Strat thread... please email
me any replies.

I am looking at the Standard American Strats and the Strat Pluses (&
Plus Deluxe).  I could care less about the locking tuners, and roller nut
in the pluses, since I don't use the whammy on strats in general.  I
don't like the bridges on the pluses, either, you know how the bridge
sits up from the body a little, so you can pull up as well as sink down?
If anything I would like to get a standard bridge for the plus.  I
specifically want to avoid 'floating' bridges.

Well, my questions... What advantages whould you say the plus has over
the standard?  Excluding the stuff I mentioned above, this would
include: are the lace sensors worth the extra bucks? is there a
difference in the necks? body?

Also, besides the pickup config, what's the difference between the plus
and the plus deluxe (that warrants a > $100 price difference)?

In your opinion, if you didn't need the locking tuners/roller nut, which
would be the better buy?  Would there then be any reason to buy the plus?

Update for the situation with my Ibanez:

I have now replaced the bridge position humbucker with a DiMarzio (review to
come). This makes comparisons with the remaining Ibanez humbucker easier.
The two pickups had similar hum characteristics, therefore I concluded that
the physical design was to blame. I will probably keep the Ibanez neck pickup
in because I use it rarely, plus I like the tone which is realtively bright.

I removed the light dimmer in my basement. This only increased the difference
between between the Ibanez pickups and others, because it eliminated a buzz
in both but did nothing for the fundamental 60 Hz hum (and its 120 Hz
harmonic).

In rewiring the guitar, I disconnected the between-coil tap from the Ibanez
pickup and it made no difference. This deals with the one possibility I did not
check out, that maybe the switch had bad insulation or something.

Mr Tillman commented:
 >I assume you've determined that the humbucking hum comes and goes with the
 >position of the instrument just like single coil hum.

The best hum position seems to be rotated 90 degrees from 
the best position for better
pickups. At the best position for hum for the Ibanez pickup, switching to the
non-Ibanez pickup results in about the same amount but that's the worst position
for that pickup. At the best position, hum drops to near zero. Switching to the
Ibanez pickup in this position results in a huge hum increase.

Actually, can you elaborate? There's the fundamental 60 Hz hum, which
humbucking is supposed to eliminate, and higher frequency stuff which it is 
less effective in eliminating, but that's all I know.

 >But still, 20dB of hum rejection (10% of single coil hum) ain't *that* bad. 

I should repeat, the Ibanez pickups hum more than they should, but they're
still usable and not actually broken.

Yes, Marshalls tend to be bright, except with a full stack, in which case
they're boomy also. One should not confuse popular tube amps with the 
inherent sound of tubes. This leads to a question: do players like the sound of
tubes or the strange circuitry and built in tone contours of popular tube amps?
Well, some of both. Attempts have been made to copy these tone contours into
transistor amps and have been met with mixed reactions. To my view, they
combine
the worst of two worlds, because I strongly dislike these extreme,
nondefeatable tonal characteristics. Yet I find tubes very good when used
in more neutral circuits.

As for the odd/even order harmonics thing, the normal discussion of these 
characteristics are in normal operating ranges of low total distortion. 
Full clipping may reverse this trend. Multiple stages of clipping is even more
complex. There are also issues such as distortion vs. input level --
gradual or sudden onset of distortion -- and effects of distortion on input
frequency response.

Date: 6 Oct 92 16:27:28 GMT
Organization: University of Helsinki

Hi there!

I wonder if you can help me with this one. I have a Fender Deluxe Plus Strat
and a Fender 112 amp. I also use a guitar tuner connected to the effect loop of
the amp.
I'd like to do the following: to get some more power amp growl without huge
volumes, I'd like to connect a Dunlop High Gain volume/booster pedal to the
amp's effect loop. To be able to use the tuner but the speaker "disconnected"
I'd put the tuner also to the loop, but before the volume pedal.
When using the pedal's booster mode I could then add some power tube growl to
the sound (in search of that "bluesy" amp overdrive). Without having to turn
the amp's own volume (=also more preamp gain) up so much. When soloing this
would give me just enough more gain....
Sounds fine on paper, but has anyone of you ever tried this setup? Especially
with a Fender Strat and a Super 112? I'd really like to hear your comments
and/or suggestions to do the thing better.

Please e-mail me at

> What do YOU think? Anyone using a volume pedal like this?
> -- Dieter Stoll

I've been using a volume pedal throught the effects loop of my amp for about
11 years now.  I'm really used to it and I like being able to get the same
tone (well, very close) at various volumes.  I have a friend who played
through my setup a few years ago and HATED it.  He was used to having a
volume pedal between the guitar and amp and when he used his pedal the tone
changed.
