I don't know if you have the equipment to be able to do this, but you could easily route your dry signal, and your compressed signal to seperate channels on a DAW and watch the level meters or even record the results to compare. Do this while you find your required setting, write the setting on the pedal..... But it won't look cool.

Excellent packaging abilities. He could wrap my package any day of the week!!! I bought a mic and stand and it arrived promptly and politely in excellent condition.

ODB3 is very good at subtle OD but not very good at anything else. I wouldn't know about the Ibanez.

If you WANT to be able to tap your foot, I find it helps to think it through before you play. Which notes in the bassline are at the same time as a foot tap? Which are half way in between? Remember it, and play. This is the mental technique I used to get on with the drums.

You get no radio with the bad monkey in the chain. Does the bad monkey have to be on? Otherwise, there's your solution.

When using a limited number of tracks, especially when recording drums with just one or two mics, i've found the following technique helps to beef it out.... Make a group or FX channel, put the multiband compressor that comes with SX3 on this channel, send a signal from the main mix, mess about with it (I always use 4 or 5 bands) until it sounds good. The send from the mix channel can act as an easy way to adjust the input level/threshold on the multiband. The dry mix at the same time adds punch, the multiband adds beef!

I bought a soundcard from this God of Good Sellers. The satisfaction I received was far too great to be described as "customer satisfaction". Just in case someone can't tell, this is excellent feedback for a great seller.

Ahhhh, that makes sense. A docking station for your temporary pedals, ingenius!

You could have a delay there instead of the TB loop? I only asked about it as I was wondering what it was doing with two empty jacks.

What's a sgetty loop?

I really like it. I always loved the one that the Alien Ant Farm guy had too.

Interesting stuff - thanks! I'll look up some videos. I like to do it when playing chords on my acoustic bass, as in tapping 3 or 4 strings at the same time.

When i'm playing the bass, one technique which I particularly like is to fret a note, and then to tap on the string i'm fretting at various positions on the neck. I don't tap hard enough for it to be called "tapping" as you don't hear the note which my right hand is "playing". What you do hear are extra harmonics and generally pleasing frequencies which aren't there when plucking or picking, or even when using artificial harmonics in the style of an 80s guitarist. This works particularly well on acoustic bass. So.... what's the name for this, who else does it, and where's the obligatory amazing youtube video of the master of this technique?

Well I was going to suggest just making a CD with a click track on one side and the samples on the other. The thing is, if you came in after 5 instead of 4 beats, or anything like that, it would totally mess it up..........(because he says he wants to do it without a laptop).

"hallucinoginetics" or something like that? Cool!! I've not seen him use the bass keyboard pedal thingies on that DVD.

Interesting! Ta for that. I would love a DL-4. I guess he uses this for his reverse sounds on the primus live DVD I have and it's very cool.

Nice. I reckon you should keep the limiter at that price. Even if you don't particularly like it you never know when a limiter will come in handy, they're very useful.

Ta for the link but I can't search on the les forum. Still, it seems he has more material out than I realised. Nice one!
