Talk about indiscriminate use of a coily cable ?

Nice. +1 on the box of rock, Strat & Vox :goodtimes:

Bacon-Rage

Haha thanks guys... it's not a box of rock thouh...it's a fuzz fact. ? hope that still gives me a +1 though ?.

And Joe, ? so far the Rat seems to work nicely with my setup, the rat has a much beefier sound than the Jekyl and Hyde so I use the Rat more for riffing and the Jekyl for lead!

But if I get a compatibility issue I'll let you know ?

Thanks for the comments and I must say I usually am a lot more tasteful with my use of curly cables... I just got a new pedal yesterday so I had to do a bit of cable DIY ?

Nice. ? you still looking for a humbucker guitar? Or you sticking with the strat setup? Personally, I dig it ?

Why are you using a DD3 (?) and a DL4, or is that some other kind of boss pedal at the end there? I would think the DL4 would make the boss redundant.

Bacon-Rage

Ya Joe I got you were kidding ? and I don't think the Rat is bad for lead at all...i just like my lead to cut a little more but I did use both for recording solos.

Chocklit, I still have a Ibanez as7 I think it is and it sounds great, the Strat has just been more versatile.

In regards to why I use the dd3, i was initially taking it out but I find with the DL4 I use mainly weird delays, reverse delays, filter delays, lo fi delays etc or even stereo delays but sometimes I want a normal sounding delay without having to resave settings mid jam or gig...hence I put the dd3 back in...I do realise it is a little redundant, I consider it just one extra delay effect.

That makes sense if you had a DD3 already. Have you tried stacking the two delays? Or would that just sound chaotic? One running into the other.

Bacon-Rage

Yeah I did have the DD3 first so I decided to keep it. ?

I have tried stacking...it can sound interesting but you have to be very careful with the feedbacks and the times otherwise it can potentially sound really messy.

Wasn't it an AR series? I don't recall any f-holes... But that was, what, 5 years ago? (If it's the same one from way back then)
I thought you'd sold it though.

I believe an AX.

Those pedals look awful mr Rage...Do you wanna fight?

Bacon-Rage

I believe you want to fight? So I might oblige you? If you are in jhb anytime soon ?

And ya it is an Ax..I think it's an AXS32...still got it ? Didn;t really want to sell it...comes in handy for my power metal band Titan! ?

Want me one of those some day... Cool looking guitars.

Shibbibilybob

Yeah Bacon, I will be in jozi from sunday, for a full week. If you're not busy working/on masters, we must jam.

Get your gloves ready.

Bacon-Rage

Yeah I was lucky enough to get one at a cash crusaders for 1.7k ....

I think they are discontinued now though...can only prob get them 2nd hand!

Ah lekker. ? How's the Titan project going? You guys gig as often or not so much? (Comparative to FP)

Nice find ? Yeah, they've been discontinued for a while. Gotta hope I find one at a time I have cash.

Timay!

The Rat sounded great with the Bones at Ponta Malongane.

Did you use all of those pedals at Ponta?

Bacon-Rage

Yeah I used some for only one song or solo in the set, like the Fuzz I use for one solo and the Whammy another but I think at FORR I went a bit crazy, so I used more than usual in a song but I mainly actually use the J+H. I use clean prob 3 /4 times in the set otherwise my OD is always on. I use the J+H also more for solos but the Rat specifically for riffing, it sounds chunkier than the Hyde. I think I actually unplugged the DD3 for that show and just used the Dl4. The Wah I only use for a couple of solos. I try not use too many when I play with FP cos I have a tendency to go overboard, but I use all my pedals a lot when jamming and writing. ?
