    True tone output jacks!!!!!!

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted · Edited by Chudallica

    Iv'e just installed the stereo type pure tone jack into my guitar, being an ageing guitarist with constant tinnitus in both ears its hard to say if there's a tonal change or not.

    That being said, It probably is better, maybe a little crisper ?? the main thing I guess is that it's no worse !!

     

    Cheers Raven1313 for bring this item to my attention and thanks Dad3353 for pointing out there was a stereo type 'for just those cases' like mine.

    They do make TRS ('Tip, Ring, Sleeve...) versions (Stereo...) for just those cases. I can't see the advantage, myself, but they're not that expensive, either, so...   :|

    Cheers for this !

    I've just ordered a stereo type jack, review to come !!!!

    I was intrigued by the claim to these pure tone jacks so I ordered one, unfortunately I was unable to fit this to my system due to the jack only having a tip and sleeve connection, having dare I say a non conventional wiring setup in my guitar I needed a ring connection too, this would provide a power ground which activates the system when the cable jack is inputted, without that, no sound !

     

    Analogue and Digital

    For years I've been playing around with different pedals both inline and using the effects return, more recently I've been trying out digital plug-ins using Amplitube.

    At first I was interested in comparing my Mesa amp to the digital version but have now started using the digital pedals in Amplitube instead of my pedalboard setup.

     

    To do this I had to bypass the amp and cabs on the software and thought I'd go thought the send return but can only managed to go inline, the controls on my interface seem to be affecting the sound on the crunchier channels but sounds great though the clean so ideally it needs to go though the send return. 

     

    Q. Has many one else tried this ?

    Top three guitarists?

    I can only answer this as who I've been influenced by the most over the years and not necessarily the best guitarists, as that is a massive can of very talented worms with no answer to it !!

     

    So I have been influenced by:

     

    Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), Joe Satriani, James Hetfield (Metallica), Gary Moore,

    an Honorary mention to Robbie Krieger (The Doors)

     

    I know it's more than 3, you're lucky I stopped there !!

    Thanks for the input, I try different strings and always go back to what I know.

    It's always a gamble trying something new especially when it's a ball-ache if they're crap !! 

     

    I might try them on a back of the cupboard guitar sometime.

    Strings & Things

    Hey all,

     

     Every now and then I brake the routine and try different makes of strings and gauges,

    I've tried Dean Markley and D'addario but always go back to a good old packet of pinks (Ernie Ball Super Slinky's).

     

    So I was wondering what strings you use ? what gauges ? and also what gauge picks ?

     

    Are string types really that important for different music genres ?

    Hi Frcoready,

     

    Its very simple to plug in to a computer and record and it dosn't have to brake the bank either !

     

    The main thing is an interface with a USB connection, you can use normal speakers but I would advice investing a a pair of monitor speakers.

     

    Depending on what computer you're using is to the software, I run Amplitude for guitar recording with Logic as a DAW.

    You can download Amplitude for free and It comes with a bunch on stuff like amps, speaker, mics, effect pedals ..... this will give a great start and you can then purchase additional equipment plugins.

     

    If you have a Mac you install Logic for a 90 day free trial and then reinstall it after that time has run down, other DAW's you can try are Appleton 10 lite, I believe that is free.

    I have finally tidied the mess in front of my amp with a home (work) made pedalboard, spent ages trying to hide cables to suit a minor OCD/hate of cables and wires !

     

    Pedal order from the effects loop on my amp:

     

    Amp Loop Send - Tuner - Noise Gate - Compressor - Tube Screamer - Amp Modeler - Acoustic Simulator - Chorus - Delay - Looper - Amp Loop Return

     

    Guitar plugs direct in to the amp.

    What effect does it have? What finish / wood are you using it on? 

    I don't know the science behind wood treatment, I guess you can look at it like using hand cream !

    It's become a routine now when I clean and restring and I've seen no damage.

     

    I'm not sure about  the materials on passed guitars but my current ones all seem to be rosewood.
