  1. The trick is, you must use your guitars volume controls. I only play old music, or old sounding new music (wilco, Ryan adams, etc.). These guys also use old pickups. Many new pickups offer way too much output and tube amps can't take it. they also dont allow the volume control to work as well as it should. I have also found that factory volume and tone controls (pots) do not allow for as much adjustment as they should. I HIGHLY recommend getting a superpot from rs guitarworks www.rsguitarworks.net It will make a huge difference to your ability to adjust the volume.

     

    Sorry i have been lost on that web-page for about two days now! It is like a never ending journey, this whole electric guitar thing!Who knew?

  2. The party begins this evening :stunned My forth wilco show in Louisville :dancing and the venue has gotten better each time. I checked Ticketmaster today and that is left is upper deck seating, the place will be packed and 'rokin! Does anyone know the seating arrangement for the field? I

  3. DAMN! I wish you had posted that before I pulled the trigger on my purchase! That makes perfect sense to me (the tuner out jack, that is)

     

    As for the effects loop question, again I don't much, but other post in your above mentioned thread seems to indicate the same as my link. Certain effects (delay, chorus, etc.) Good/ others (OD, Distortion, Etc.) Not good? Another good point made more cords= more $ and potential noise. Also, can you run both at the same time, I assume some sort of "splitter" would be involved? What if I wanted to use some effects from both i.e. Delay and OD?

     

    MY question in the

  4. Hey, Thanks for your input, I agree with what you are saying. Maybe I should take a step backward. My concern comes from the volume pedal I was about to buy, the "booklet/PDF file" says in bold print not to be used in an effect loop! I have spent a lot of time today on-line looking into this, the first question I need to answer is the difference between an effect "Loop" and an Effect "Chain"? The series of effect boxes we described in a list IS NOT an effect loop, however it is an effect chain?

     

    IF this is the case the volume pedal in question should be fine and as you pointed out, first or last would be a matter of choice :thumbup

     

    I know there are know rules for "order you hook your effects up, Conventional Wisdom?

     

     

    I did think this was interesting!

  5. I am about to purchase a Morley Pro series Volume pedal PVO? I have recently learned the big difference between PVO and PLA is that the PLA(linear) is designed to go before Effect Pedals and PVO(audio)Should go directly into the amp?

     

    I currently have Dan electro Surf and Turf compressor/sustain > Vox Wah > Tubescreamer > into amp (Fender Deluxe Reverb Twin) I always envisioned the volume pedal being the first pedal in the chain? This means I would want the PLA version? Or volume last in chain, PVO?

     

     

    Any Advice??

     

    Please!!

  6. My sleeves have come unstitched

    From climbing your tree

     

    They hang like grapes

    On vines that shine

    And warm the lovers' glass

    Like friendly wine

     

    She says forever

    To light a fuse

    We could use

    A handful of wheel

    And a day off

    And a bruised road

    However, you might feel

    Tonight is real

     

    I'm an ocean

    An abyss in motion

    Slow motion

    Sloooooow motion

     

    I'm going away

    Where you will look for me

    Where I'm going you cannot come

     

    No one's ever gonna take my life from me

    I lay it down

    yeah I'm a fan of "Theologians" All of AGIB really

  7. The last time they played anywhere in California was also summer 2005. They just can't play every city on every tour.

    They could if they tried harder!

     

     

     

    Dear Wilco,

    Please come to Junction City, KY! We have a population of 1700 and a lot of open fields for ya'll to play in!

    No one here knows who you are yet!

     

     

    PS I don't really live there but I would make the drive for you guys

    Damn, the ONE thing I don't need a pill for!

     

    Seriously, I live in a very rural part of Eastern Kentucky; you have no idea the rampant prescription pill problem this part of the country is under! (I know a lot of you will make fun) I can go to Wal-Mart and I swear the whole society here is in a daze, it as scary as you can Imagine!!

    Between the Crystal Meth Lab busts and the Dr.'s going to prison :thumbup Bring back the days when everyone here made a living growing Weed!

  9. Yep. That's the big one. How to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness of what's going on in the world without freaking them out, cause it don't look so good sometimes.

     

    What hills of KY are you from?

    Living and working at a small university in Rowan Co.

    Grew up in Danville/ spent a decade or so in Lex.

    I saw the poser you did for Joey B. (lynagh's door man extraordinaire)

    That was a sad day for me, afore mentioned child's mother used to live in the same building with Joey, he would have us down and play and sing and show us photos of all the famous musicians he knew/worked with. Heart of gold.

     

     

    Now how about that hurricane?

  10. I worry for the state of the world(politics, economy, environment, terrorism, etc) when my five year old is old enough for college. I worry if I will be able to afford to send her to college :unsure I worry if all my non-wilco friends who I will be taking to slugger field will

  11. I can understand peoples fascination, but c'mon the guy is a self -absorbed, self righteous prick. Reminds me of my younger brother(26) no one understands me, no one can see my talent, I can't keep a job or a cell phone or a mailing address etc... PLEASE no time in my life for that shit!

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks for listening :cheekkiss

  12. All right, seriously! You may not meet a bigger VH fan, saw WACF, DD and 1984, even gave Sammy a chance on 5150. But I have become so turned off by the brothers Vanhalen, only Lars Ulrich is a bigger jack- ass in my book. They are the problem not Dave, not Sammy, not Michael. Some one posted photos of Eddie and his son(14 or 15 at the time) at a party full of strippers, I mean come on! I'm all for the

  13. I am taking my 5 year old to the Louisville show :dancing She is super pumped! I have been wanting to take her for a couple of years now, I have always been under the impression outdoor shows, are less damaging on little ears than indoor? I don't know where I heard this but it makes since to me. I also wanted to wait for an outdoor show that is not in the heat of the summer (Sept. 21 will do nicely) The last requirement was after she was 5. That
