I like the Blues Driver too. Ibanez Tube Screamer is good too, but a little harsher. (Not using either recently.) ... -- http://DoctorOakroot.com - Rough-edged...
... Just got one. My guitars sound great without it... if the soundman does his job right. The preamp lets me get a great sound even if he screws up. -- ...
Speaking of tasting guitars... and based on some previous threads, I believe that the results of the taste tests on this forum are going to be the opposite of...
Though I know many of you here from the first Hinton Fest, I am more or less a lurker on this forum. I want to thank all of you for so much inspiration. I love...
Yea Doc, I use that one when I need to eq a bit......... Jim Farris www.jimfrets.com http://www.flickr.com/people/59473356@N00/ www.myspace.com/fretsmadeeasy...
Primitive portable keyboard ideas: I own a WWI US Army field pump organ. It collapses into a box the size of a foot locker. or a vintage Schoenhut toy piano....
Hi Doc! This idea showed up as an Off Topic post on the programmers forum of which I'm also a member...or maybe it was here. I think it fits the primitive ...
... Doc, you should build a cigarbox clavicord, lol. The simplest clavicord has a single string - each key presses a fret against the string hard/fast enough...
Thanks for the nice words Doc. At this time I would not be able to build anything. I am sure Tomi would like the project as well as one of the others. I do...
In my sentence, "tastes" is a noun not a verb. "Good" would only be suitable if speaking redneck, which I do from time to time. :) The mistake I did make was...
That Walkman Mellotron link was sweet. In the discussion cigar box amps, homemade speakers, hurdy gurdys and such, I wonder if anyone else has some cool links...
damn my typing sux, any improvements you might can think of feel free to let me know. ________________________________ From: cigarboxguitars@yahoogroups.com ...
THanks for the info. I think I will just make a new, lower bridge, to lower the action and try from there. I am more a maker than players.<sigh> The reason I...
Doc - Sounds like fun. I'll do it for free if you in turn donate some time teaching some aspiring local kid in your area how to play some boogy woogie on the...
Don't forget those little "finger pianos" (?) that someone has posted in the Photos section. They're not really keys but the metal pieces could be "played"...
I have a question maybe someone could answer. I have some magnets from dead hard drives and was debating on making pickups from them. Is there such thing as a...
Stronger magnet = more volume. I don't think it would be a problem as long as the magnet isn't interfering with the string vibrations too much (ala, sticking...
that's funny, i'm using hard drive magnets right now to hold stuff on the fridge (paper work, etc.). guess i could just stick it to the fridge when i'm not...
My question for suitability for pickup use would be the orientation of the poles and the actual shape and size of the rare earth magnets. You want the north...
The ceramic magnets I used in my pickups were very strong. With a lightweight guitar you practically could stick the guitar to the fridge. I really never had a...
