on the way

jcoote

juat ordered my flexitone III XL and a behringer fcb 1010 dyin to get it... hoping to flog the gt-6 and go rack but the 1010 will do for now to control the flexitone thru MIDI... wooo

feylya

Sure once you go rack, use the midi pass through on the rack unit and assign different channels to the Flextone. Then you can control everything.

How much are you thinking of flogging the GT-6 for? Let me know...

bombidol

let me know how you get on with the Behringher floor board. ive been debating one

jcoote

i dunno how much yet as soon as i know or make a final decision i'll let u know... u interested

feylya

If the price is right and I can flog a couple of things, maybe.

jcoote

i'll keep u posted...loookin at a g major or rocktron xpression

feylya

Mmm, G Major.

jcoote

just thinkin with say a g major and a flexitone i'm gonna need some other stuff like wah and maybe distortion (have the ds-1 for that) so it might cost me a bit more than just a g major

feylya

Surely you can get your distortion from the flexitone and a wah pedal is about €100 or so...

jcoote

ah yeah i'm not worried about the distortion.. but the wah wah is a corcern..that means i gotta buy more gear tut for feck sake ,.. what would u go for... wanna try zakk wyldes new one..might get a dimebag tho

feylya

I'd go for my modded CryBaby. None others like it

jcoote

what did u do to it

feylya

True bypass, removed the buffer circuit, more bass, more mids, more gain, more volume. MORE!

jcoote

well done bud i don't have much of a clue when it comes to the electronics (as u have probably copped)... just a classic crybaby was it...don't have a sample do ya...still as versatile as the original

feylya

Aye, it was just a bog standard CryBaby. No clips I'm afraid. Must get round to recording some. That DS-1 you have isn't stock either. Busy soldering that one too

jcoote

yeah i had heard about the keeley pedals before i saw your ad.. stevie vai uses one doesn't he.. great kinda tube tone of it and really good gain well impresed ... the wah on the gt-6 is amazing u should hear it ...might be worth your while floggin me that wah..only messin i'm gonna start huntin tomorrow

feylya

Well, if you want to make a straight swap - wah for gt-6, I won't complain.

I like the way on the ME-50 quite a lot actually.

Vai does uses Keeley's DS-1s.

jcoote

ah i think i'll look around...would u recommend any stock wah peggles

feylya

Ibanez Weeping Demon is supposed to be incredible.

had an original crybaby and the morely one don't think i'd go back there... i wanna try that ibanez one look deadly... the 535q is tempting also...good work my man

Not all the behringer stuff is crap. For live stuff its great. We use the Digital cross overs in college and have compared them side by side to the €2000 BSS ones and I'll be honest the funtionality and sound of the Behringer is ****ing class. I don't think I'd be to eager for recording stuff with them where degradation of the signal isn't wat you want. But for live you can't beat the price. I'm looking to buy one of there headphone amps for my recording rig soon...

feylya

What are their mixing desks like?

dabhoys

In school?

feylya

No, Behringer's mixing desks...

dabhoys

I've never used them. This is a rack unit cross over. I think there is a behringer desk about somewhere is college but we don't use it. The main live desk is a soundcraft MH3 console. Its oh so nice.

Don't get me wrong the BSS crossovers are ****ing class acts. But the behringers are excellent for the price you would be not dissapointed with one...

feylya

Aye, I'm sure. I'm just trying to find out the quality of the stuff. Wonder if you could put together a decent enough home studio for a grand (excluding pc). I reckon you could quite easily.

dabhoys

We worked it out before you could build an entire studio with behringer gear for €2000 euro

feylya

The only problem I'd have it with how to get all the tracks into the computer.

dabhoys

Motu make a fairly large interface for sending stuff in. I think its 48. Its not to dear either. Send it into Cubase or something along that lines...

feylya

http://www.sub.co.uk/index.php?sec=proddetails&pcode=807&sid=2828fb531bb86a0968d4c292173201d6 Something like that?

dabhoys

Yep something like that. Presonus make some interfaces too...

feylya

What do you make of this?

dabhoys

The control surfaces aren't too bad. I would stay clear of there A/D converters or anything along that lines. Mic Pre's etc...

feylya

I'm just thinking of getting the sound from the guitar into the computer as cleanly as possible with the least amount of fuss and money.

dabhoys

MBox my friend. You can get them on ebay fairly cheap.

feylya

€400 ain't cheap

€50 is cheap

dabhoys

Theres other options out there but I'd highly recommend pro tools for your recording needs

John

We use a Behringer mixing desk for the college radio station and it's fine, it does the job all right but it's not the best sounding thing in the universe.

Well, I have Pro Tools LE 5 but you need Win 98 for that :mad:

Software wise, I'm fairly sorted though. I just need a solution for getting the sound from the guitar into the computer, with or without effects from the ME-50.

david

Try one of those guitarports by line 6 maybe for a really simple way of getting yer guitar into the pc
