i start to understand after repeat yr video 20 times lol.. so basically, setup the board in 4 cables method, and when need to switch to direct method, just bypass SEND and OUT, and plug RETURN to amp front?
Sorry bro but that is not a quirk or a tell. That is the wrong neck for that body and Pete who worked for Gibson should have seen it. The ferrule spacing on the back looks bad and the long heel means that the neck should be 2" further into the body, which means that all the frets are in the wrong place. The checking on the finish is more likely from too thick of a coat, especially when you see it around the horn. Telling us that the first neck was "just junk" doesn't tell us or show us what was wrong with it and what to look out for. Why didn't you sand out the checking?
@@Stringsmith Wow quite the critique. So, the intonation was perfect… It was a cheap kit body and a cheap kit neck which is why the heal was shite. The checking was likely from me painting in Michigan in January. Why didn’t I sand it out? Cuz I didn’t wanna paint it again in February. Pete is dead now but he was OLD… yeah he fuked up the ferrules… you want me to bitch out a guy in his 70’s over a cheap Chinese guitar kit? Naw… the first neck was bad? I haven’t watched this video since I made it 4 years ago… but I don’t even remember anything about two necks… you should probably make some videos about guitar building… seems like you’re an expert. This was my first ever attempt at building… I later went on to build several more and a dozen or so so far from scratch… so I figured it out… have fun… I’m trying to
@@JobyP Wow, great self-defense with the whole dead guy thing, and great vindication with the dozen or so scratch builds. But not a single vid on these scratch builds? Not so much as a photo? We would love to see your progress since your first attempt. The plugging holes in a guitar's face does not count since the finish will crack around those holes, I mean real progress. Show us the money or join the rank of Hack.
I'm almost 62 years old and owned a guitar shop for 20 years. I've been playing for 50. I couldn't agree more with everything you said. No one not even very famous guitarists have I seen explain this subject more clearly or accurately. Thank you for verifying my thoughts as I am designing a pedalboard after many years. I liked and subscribed right away. People, this guy knows what he's talking about.
Thank you very much! 7 years later and I still support everything I said in this video. Except one thing… Univibe really sounds Bitchin’ before your dirt pedals! I learned most of this reading interviews with Bob Bradshaw and Pete Cornish. So I consider my teachers top shelf! Cheers, thanks for watching/commenting and subscribing it’s appreciated.
I was able to find an fg75 online probably 10 years ago and it's my go to guitar cleaned it up did a setup on it and it's amazing it projects so well also found a fg140 recently they stay out all the time
Hi! I have the EN1 but the settings were messed with, i was wondering how to get it back to sounding like a regular piano?/whst settings make it sound like the regulsr piano? Thanks!
i notice the bubbly sound it produced in the tail of the sound , this is what I love in songs like several girls galore , I think the same sound is possible with 2 wahs flipping quickly
Sure get some lighter fluid “Ronsonal or Zippo” brand and Litterally take it to the entire guitar. Everything. You may wanna get some “0000 Steel Wool” to polish the frets. Then here’s my best tip by some “Scott’s Liquid Gold” and just wipe it on the entire guitar after you’ve polished the frets and cleaned the whole thing with the lighter fluid. Warning this stuff feels really greasy so wipe it on with a paper towel and then wipe it off with another paper towel. I usually end up doing the “dry wipe” a few times so wipe it off… wait like 5 miniutes… wipe it off…. Wait…. Wipe it off this is because the oil will Leach back out of the wood (specifically the fret board) but anyway yeah get it fully dried off before you restring it! It’s a beautiful guitar and they sound amazing. Hope this helps! Cheers thanks for watching/commenting. It’s appreciated!
I found a model EN2 on the street and I'm not sure how to set it up. It sounds offkey and I think it's mainly due to the transpose setting that lets me change it from different keys which didn't make sense to me. What should I do?
I am no expert but you can tune it with that transpose to another keyboard or a tuner (bit harder) or even a guitar just play one note on both and tune the transpose until they match.
I wired up an old Vantage project guitar with the T-60 tone control on the bridge pickup, as well as a phase switch for that pickup. As you're likely aware, the T-60 tone control circuit pans from one coil of an HB, through to both coils with no treble cut, to both coils *with* treble cut, providing coil-cancel (what some refer to as coil-split) without the need for an additional switch. On my guitar, though, the phase switch ends up changing *which* of the two coils is heard, when the Tone knob is in the "bright" position. Much to my surprise and amazement, the two coils sound very different from each other, largely because of their relative distance from the bridge. A very clever circuit. Thanks, Mr. Lorento!
It really is neat and I can’t understand why more guitars haven’t utilized this. To my ears it destroys the sound of a coil tap/split thanks for watching/commenting it’s appreciated cheers 🍻
@@JobyP I don't know if it 'destroys' coil-cancellation,, but it does provide a lot more variety for very little in parts and effort. On that same Vantage guitar, I also implemented the Bill Lawrence '"half out of phase' mod. By cutting bass content of the neck pickup with a series capacitor, putting neck and bridge out of phase does NOT result in that thin annoying tone with the big volume drop. On Telecasters, it yields a tone strikingly like neck+middle on a Strat, despite having no middle pickup, and with NO volume drop. It obviously won't sound very Strat-like on a dual-humbucker guitar, but it does yield another very usable N+B tone.
@@markhammer643 That’s awesome I just love the implementation so much better than other coil taps I’ve tried. And used in my own instruments I’ve built. It’s a great circut.
This is awesome. If I were to use a noise gate pedal with its own Input, Output, Send, and Return, how would I connect it to gate both the front and the loop?
Hi, great video, thanks! I'm late to the party but could you help suggest where I might find my treble booster will work best please? I have so many gain stages I might have to drop one or two but i just love the different flavours on tap for different styles. 🙏Cheers if you can give any pointers mate and appreciate the great video ❤🙏
Well you’re already on the right path thinking “gain stage” if your running it by itself it belongs in the chain with your other gain pedals if you wanna stack it you really just have to play around with it and see what it like going into… what it like going after. They can clean up* a fuzz if you put it after and make a fuzz sound like an explosion before… just try it before and after all your other gain pedals and choose what you like best. Thanks for watching and commenting… it’s very appreciated cheers 🍻
I was wondering why you were using Loop 1 for the Send/Return with the amp. If you have any overdrive or distortion pedals on your pedalboard, those would go to the front of the amp, so you'd want the pedals into Loops 1 or 2, thereby Loop 3 would be the send/return to the amp.
Since the loops can be placed in any position in the signal chain it doesn’t matter if you use loop 1,2 or 3 if it makes more sense for you to use loop 3 that’s the way to go. It made more sense for me to use loop 1 because I would only be using Modulation, delay or reverbs in the other two loops… so for simple layout purposes always having loop 2 or 3 coming After loop 1 in the signal chain made the most sense (for my use purpose) but again if you wanted to use gain pedals in the loops of the MS-3 doing it they way you describe makes sense and is totally ok too…
There’s something so Japanese about the wood of these necks. I dunno what it is. Maybe the glossy lacquer? I love them. I have an old FG dreadnaught (150?) and just got what appears to be a ‘71 or ‘72 red label Nippon Gakki FG-75 today and I am very much in love.
Depends on what effects you want to loop… generally looper would just go last so you can loop Everything. But there are some times you may want to put it like before a delay pedal so that you’re not looping a delay, but yeah man generally just very last in line.
simple, short and information focused video! TWO questions what I want to follow: So, there ONLY L2 & L3 can put the time-effects in FX loop and the MS-3? That's mean only TWO time-effects can control by MS-3? HOW about the Fuzz, OD, Dist? THANKYOU
You can put whatever you want in the 3 loops. This pertains only to using it in 4 cable method. (Using amp distortion.) It really depends on how you want to route the amp… Your external Effects and the internal Effects of the MS-3 it’s almost limitless. But if you want to do 4 cable method you do have to use one of the 3 loops for that. So you lose the ability to put a pedal in that loop. Not sure if that answers your question.
Awesome job! Im rebuilding an old 60s/70s japanese kit, i kinda wished id some of that as its been fun, im a big RDavidR fan too, oh hey if you ever get bored with the white paint, its the perfect kit to that paint dip method where you put a bunch of paint on top of a large service of water then dip the drum shells into it, would be really cool
It’s still kicking it’s my drummers practice kit now as really I’m a guitarist! Thanks so much for watching and commenting it’s so appreciated cheers 🍻
This was my first guitar in ‘78, And now I have 3 of them. Two I customized with a third blade pickup. So, the phase switch is now the coil tap and the Nashville sounds come from the middle pickup like a strat.
I tried that and then 250’s didn’t get me what I wanted. I ended up going with Novak JM stealth Hum cancelling. I love them. Still sounds like a jazzmaster just more quiet and less stabby!
Nice! I’m in the U.K. so novaks are pretty much out 😢! I’m happy with my antiquities for the moment with the band I’m playing the Jazzmaster for it lends itself to a cleaner more jangly sound!! I’m looking at grabbing a second Jazzmaster, slinging a mastery on, locking the trem & putting some quarter pounders in as an all out rock machine 🤟🏻🤟🏻
A guy who at the time didn’t have two amps in his house. Also, let’s be honest 99.9% of players don’t run stereo. All that being said, sorry that this video didn’t have what you were looking for and I hope somebody else made a video of this pedal in stereo so you can hear it the way you prefer. Cheers 🍻
I have the same guitar, was considering selling it because as much as I liked the color, I just couldn't get behind the sound of the stock pickups and their noise. This may be what convinced me to hold onto it. Gonna grab a set of these so I can get that Jazzy tone without all the crazy noise
@@averylangs No, not if you Really want authentic Jazz Master tones try it out and if you’re still not vibing switch to 500k you may love the 1 meg pots.
The phase switch changes the bridge pickups active single coil. The trick is to roll of one pickups volume to bring back the fullness and avoid the thin sound.
Moses didn't think he was the one to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, you didn't think you were the one to demo a flanger...look how it all works out. Nice job, too, because I also can't stand that jackass who does that Unchained rendition.
