Max mo yung regen/repeat knob ng delay pedal. Most delay pedals self-oscillate
Or pwede rin na may high gain distortion or fuzz pedal ka na naka-max yung gain. Yung Catalinbread V8 ang liit liit ang lakas mag self oscillate. Kaso judging on the fact na tumataas yung tono nung pinihit yung mga knobs, malamang delay nga yun.

about less than a hundred pesos? :D

anyway the concept behind it is this: the jack where you plug the remote in is a mono jack di ba, and a mono jack has two wires... the one in the center and one outside?

if you ground or connect both wires if its plugged in the remote in, you activate the "II" setting of the Turbo Distortion. Disconnect and it goes back to the "I" setting. if may sirang guitar cable ka dyan you can experiment.

simply buy a light switch, mas maganda buzzer type. tapos wire it in such a way that if you depress the switch the wires connect.

pero mas maganda if you can find a stompbox type footswitch and housing. i think the guys who build DIY pedals know where to source these.

About Marshall amp

Normal lang bang parang may distorted na tunog kahit di gingalaw yung gitara pag naka-on yung OD ng amp? Tapos malakas nanaman yung weird na tunog na yun pag naka-todo yung gain pero pag clean tone wala naman akong naririnig na ibang tunog? Posible kayang sa guitar yun?

your amp should be as quiet as possible, kung meron kang ibang ingay na naririnig... malamang may problema yung amp mo!

-kung single pick-up lang gamit mo, natural na may ingay yan pag nilagyan mo ng drive kahit di mo pa kinakalabit yung guitar mo
-kung humbucker gamit mo dapat walang ingay kahit matinding drive ang ilagay mo dyan.
-dito sa area ko sa pampanga, maingay yung amp ko kase hindi saktong 220v yung binibigay na kuryente galing sa Electric Provider namin.
-wag kang lalapit sa TV or Electricfan, Halogen lights... nag c-cause din to ng ingay

hope this help :wink:

technically its possible but you would be better off with an eq designed for guitar frequencies.

i would imagine the car stereo EQ would color the sound horribly.

AMP PROBLEM. HELP! :-)


kakakuha ko lang nito sa classisfieds,kaya lang may ground.
o.k sana yung tunog kaya lang meron siya hum and may lumalabas na kuryente sa screws ng amp.di naman malakas pero strong enough para mairita ko at ma"shock" minsan :-D



nung gamit ko yung hollowbody ko di pa ganun kalakas yng kuryente,na nadiscover kong lumalabas din sa strings sa moment na pag-on sa amp pero nung ginamit ko yung strat ko dun na lumabas ang problema.



may kuryente/ground kapag binibitawan yung guitar ko.tapos kapag naka-on yung distortion meron malakas na hum.
Pati yung ground pumupunta sa switch ng crunchbox ko.

Pati nga sa screw ng tuners ko umaabot yung ground.


madali lang ba to ayusin?meron ba ko magagawa para mawala ang ground?
tinry ko ibalik kagad sa may-ari pero ayaw niya na pumayag baka ako daw nakasira...tsk tsk...sana matulungan niyo ko.thanks :-)

alam ko po na marami nang naipost na topic na gaya nito pero post sana ako ng sarili kong thread for immediate references lang sana. here is the question:

1. what is the best guitar string suitable for metal? yung buong-buo ang sound..
2. how do you classify strings depending on their thickness/(gauge ba yun?)
3. ano mas maganda, yung makapal na string o ung manipis na string?

TNX...I REALLY NID YOUR WHOLESOME AND SERIOUS REPLY..  :-D

The main chip of the DD3 is Boss proprietary. If you don't send it to them for repairs, it's a paperweight.

1. Depende sa preference, pero tone-wise the thicker the strings the more chunk you can get out of it. Any reputable brand will do, I suggest 0.10's but if you detune maybe 0.11's would be a good idea.

Thicker strings mean more tension, so you can detune and still maintain a tight tension on the strings. More tension, less extra string flab, less muddy tone for metal.

Shredders prefer lighter gauges, so string gauge for metal really depends whether you will shred or riff out. I use 7 string sets on 0.10's detuned half a step. I only purchase 0.09's if wala na talaga stock because I find it too light for metal. Well its my personal preference :)

2. Its classified by thickness. 0.09's are usually light gauge. 0.11's are usually called heavy gauge. Go figure. Google should be a good friend.

3. Again refer to my suggestions in number 1. It depends on the tuning you use, and the string tension you are most comfy with.

hope that helps hehehe  :-D

Question naman, I already tried google but I can't find anything and I emailed EMG but no replies yet.  :-D

As we all know current EMG pickups have the Quik-connect system for easy installation, my strat uses the old school EMG circuitry with 3 EMG SA's and a gainboost. Is it possible to connect the newer EMG pickups (I'm planning get an EMG-89, bitin ako sa single coil eh  :-D ) to the old circuitry.

Baka may nakasubok na eh.

Thanks!  :-)

i don't see anything wrong here as an eq is supposed to have a flat response at zero... so I'd say go for it.

:D

Ernie Balls and D'Addarios would still be the same, IMO.

I think 0.10 gauges would be optimum for you, not too light, not too heavy either.
