This might have been an issue in 2004... but it's 2024. Do you get mad when overdrive pedals or delay pedals don't come with a built in power output too? Just get an isolated power supply like everyone else. There are so many out there now and they're not that expensive. If you really don't want to waste an output, use a Y cable.
@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes 4 дня назад
I'm not aware that there is any overdrive or delay pedal with a daisy chained power output - however, for tuners it's kind of an industry standard. And if not, any other tuner on the market works with a daisy chain cable without any issues. BTW: I've used a high quality power supply with isolated outputs, the thing is that all outputs are in use...you may should watch the video...

Can I combine this thing with EVH d-tuna?
@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes 6 дней назад
Yes, you can - however, the extension part of the D-tuna will touch the body if the trem is unlocked and you try to hardly pull it. So it can only be pulled upwards to a certain extent. The problem can be solved by routing out some wood under the D-tuna but I think it's not worth the effort...

I don’t see why anyone would even want to daisy chain pedals off a tuner…sounds like you’d be asking for potential noise issues by doing so. Walrus audio designs pedals that require a high amount of current, so they recommend isolated power for their pedals. Same reason you don’t see any of their pedals with a 9v battery option.
@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes Месяц назад
Looks like I haven't explained clear enough - the power supply has 2 outputs with 500mA and 3 outputs with 100mA, one of the 500mA outputs is already in use by a high current pedal. In 2024 selling a very modern tuner with one elementary feature missing is kind of weird, sorry.

I have the same Thornbuckers but uncovered in a strat body. I found them too bright and tending a bit thin. I changed the 500K pots (which I bought specifically because we are always told humbuckers should have 500K pots) with 250K pots. In an amp that sounds good for a classic strat, these pickups are now in about the same general tonal range. It was most weird when a huimbucker guitar sounded brighter thasn a strat! Problem now solved. The mess that is pickup wire color coding was a pain for me too.

After installing this blocking mod, can we add a d-tuna ? Because of the blocked Floyd Rose then instead of retuning the D string we can use the d tuna, right ? Another question, can we still pull up AND pull down the floyd while we blocked it at the back ? Sorry for my poor knowledge, I will get my first floyd rose guitar in few days :’)
@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes Месяц назад
When blocked you can't pull up the trem any longer - that's how it works. However, dive bombs etc. are still possible. Theoretically you can also install a D-tuna - the issue is, that you'll need some additional space for it, especially when the trem is unlocked and you want to hardly pull the trem. Otherwise the extension part of the D-tuna will touch the body and can only be pulled upwards to a certain extent. The problem can be solved by routing out some wood under the D-tuna. Not sure if it's worth the effort...

People shouldn't expect less from you tubers that make clickbait titles like this. Is this a bummer? Very little of a bummer, definitely not worth the title of the video. This is to be expected of even expensive digital pedals and is the reason why serious players get isolated power bricks. Congrats to OP for getting the views and amount of comments his channel needed.
@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes Месяц назад
Well, it's no problem if your power supply has enough slots - however, the used power supply has only 5 outlets, that are all in use. So I'm not able to use the tuner without replacing the power supply - that's not what I would have expected from a modern tuner with many good features. I don't know any other *tuner* which isn't able to be used in a daisy chain setup!

I admire how composed you are in the circumstances, and wish you well with the rebuild. It could have been worse, and now you have the opportunity to make any low level tweaks you may have anyways wanted to implement with your studio infrastructure. For example, have you ever thought of adding CAT cables under the floor and breaking them out into 4 channels of XLR at each end? I really like this method of clean wiring throughout my entire home.

I had to send back both of the Ltd I ordered because of qc issues, and was quite bummed as well. Especially since they moved most of the production to Indonesia. These 2, H3 1007B and Arctic Metal 7, were the reasons why I switched to Solar. The guitars are probably made in the same, usual factories anyway, but it seems that Esp doesn't pay enough to guarantee proper quality control compared to other companies. Their Ltd's reaching E2 prices doesn't make it better either. The most shocking part is that you got a Korean model, which are usually good. Guess I'll stick to my 2 Solars. I always wanted Esp as a kid, but fate decided that I shouldn't. After all, I can't just order every model and then send it back if more of the Ltd models are flawed, or Thomann will probably blacklist me lol

Both of those sets sound great, the thornbuckers are just more my style, they have that classic more PAF type dynamic.

@RockGuitarVibes
@RockGuitarVibes 2 месяца назад
The line level is taken from the power amp output which is a good thing - means with your preferred cabinet connected and an IR you'll get the best result at a certain volume level. With a loadbox, the amp can be used in silent mode at any amp volume, but the result will not be necessarily better.
