It’s back from the dead! The TB Mega Thread.

[fever606]

h18, that video with larry fucking david tapsturbating, and that thing, are grounds for justifiable homicide...

[SmallEQ]

nope! i mean, yeah. some parts of it grate on me because i enjoy over here more, but when i started spending a lot of time over there like 3 years ago!m? whenevah. but THEN. i could look at the home page and find an interesting thread or two. then it got to where only in the efx section one or two each time i looked would pop out.

now it's the same exact three boring threads over. and over. and over.

lol. and when a thread DOES show up about a pedal i'm interested in, the only people i care what they say would be over here saying it in a more happy fun times way.

BLEGH. INTERNET GRANDPA CRANKY SHOES. I HAZ.

Do you think it has anything to do with your knowledge of effects being a lot greater now than it was three years ago? I know I don't find myself being that intrigued by the new topics over there, but then again my fundamental understanding of effects and what works for me is much better than it was when I was super excited about the Bass Big Muff and MicroPog I just bought.

[behndy]

naw. i'd say mebbe, but i'm just as interested to hear what peoples think over here about new pedz as i've always been.

it's not just that the product lines that spark interest here are more in line with what i dig on, but how many fucking DURP WHAT ORDER I DON'T SEARCH OR READ STICKES HOW DO I SOUND LIKE SOME SHIT MUSICIANS BLARRRGAAGFHGGGHJGHH do there need to be?

blegh i say. BLEGH.

I do have my bridge saddles down pretty low, so I think I'll raise them quite a bit and adjust the neck tilt accordingly. Hopefully that will help. Thanks, dude

Following up on this: I adjusted the neck tilt and saddle height and things are getting better. But my action is still kinda high (see picture), and if I lower the saddles anymore I start to fret out on the last fret. Truss rod time?

Got my PT2 wired up. But still needing at least 3 more pedals before the vision is complete.

Yes, looks like it. Did you hold down the strings at the 1st fret and 15th? If you can, take a photo looking down the neck on both sides.

I dug mine a lot, but I sent it back to get a software update and Jesse forgot about it. Though I should be getting a production before to long. The resonator settings can get crazy sounding. I had this one tone using the envelope and some distortion that blew my mind a bit.

[John]

Yeah that's really high.

Higher than giraffe pussy.

Yeah I adjusted the truss rod and holding at the 1st and 14th looks better now, less space. Although it's still fretting out. Whatever. Tuned it up and letting it sit until tomorrow until I do any more adjustments. I just wanna play the thing damn it

You mean a photo looking down from the headstock to the bridge?

[excane]

You mean a photo looking down from the headstock to the bridge?

Yes. Take the photo looking down, but on the outside of the strings (right up against the E and then G strings) So the strings act as a straightedge pedge? to the fretboard.

I'm curious to see what might be going on - maybe something is warped. Maybe it's just concave like a soup bowl

Either way, we'll fix this.

[kbit]

Well now I feel a bit worried. I feel like I'm seeing more of a box on the G-string side than on the E-string side. Maybe.

[Waterpilot]

now it's the same exact three boring threads over. and over. and over.

This is my problem as well. I've been slacking here too, but for the most part I don't even go in effects forum over there much any more. That used to be the only place I went on TB, now... Not so much. Good peeps here and another special thanks to Sousie for sending me this way.
