I explain the handling of guitar effects I own and I'll give you tips about these effect devices and in the future some tutorials e.g. about mixing & mastering. These tips & tutorials were partially found in the internet but most of them are from me. Wherever possible I'll give you the source address (URL) so that you can explore these sites, too (that means if I remember the URL). As already mentioned, the tips & tutorials are about effect devices I own, therefore
I'm looking for guys writing about their toys!
Who wants to share his tips about his favorite effects device, guitar, keyboard, bass or drum?
E.g. Line6 Pod, Vox Tonelab or Roland Fantom.

Get the new Boss GT-10

There are three ways to connect your Boss GT's output to an amp. You can use the amp's input (like you did in the 90th with other multi effects devices) or (if available) the amp's return jacket or try using the 4 cable method.
The used algorithm of the Boss VF-1 Multi Effects Device cannot be changed! What you must do is selecting an already available patch which uses the desired algorithm.
The algorithms are stored in the factory preset bank "B" beginning with Guitar Multi 1 in PB1 and ending with Delay+Chorus in PB36.
And this of course means that e.g. your tastefully adjusted reverb gets lost!
I got a lot of PMs concerning this questions. And of course I cannot give you a universally valid answer.
But on Xycl there are already some articles about improvements to get a good sound. E.g. the use of an equalizer to get a good warm sound or using the resonator or an equalizer for a fat full sounding guitar.
My Alesis IO14 Firewire Interface works with my desktop pc & my old notebook. But with my new notebook (Intel Core2Duo) it produces a lot of crackles, clicks, distortion etc.
I bought a new firewire card with a Texas Instrument chipset. But no improvement.
My solution was to disable Intel Speedstep Technology.
In a german forum a user looked for the possibility to control his Hughes and Kettner Tubeman 2 by his Boss GT-8. He said that he is using the Tubeman in the external effects loop of his Boss GT-8 especially for crunch sounds the Boss GT-8 isn't able to produce.
But is it true that the Hughes and Kettner Tubeman 2 produces a more dynamic crunch sound?
I own both, the Tubeman and the Boss GT-8.
A Ducking Delay is used to suppress the delay signal while playing guitar. That means that the delay is only audible during breaks.
Take a free variable assign and choose:
* Target: Delay
* Target DL: Effects Level
* Target Min: 25 (which is the max.
In contrast to an equalizer a multiband compressor is the key to rich bass. In addition to the increased bass response a multiband compressor also smooths dynamic peaks and thus gives us an even more professional sound.
You can imagine a multiband compressor as an equalizer with a built-in compressor. With a ratio of 1 you can use the gain knob of the multiband compressor as an equalizer. And with a ratio greater than 1, it still works like an equalizer.
A complete vocal channel strip with compressor & limiter, de-esser, equalizer, enhancer, delay, reverb, modulation fx, separate chorus and noise suppressor is part of Boss VF-1 algorithms.
I mean if you already own an unused Boss VF-1 then you can lend it to your singer. It cannot replace a "real" vocal channel strip.
To be kind to Boss I would say that most of the preamp models are bit too bright sounding.
I mean it's not what I call a warm sound.
My old Line6 Pod Pro had a
lack of highs but it was more a dull sound than a warm sound. In contrast to the Line6 Pod Pro the Boss GT-8 & Boss GT-10 have to much highs which are also not warm sounding.
Use the equalizer to reduce the unnecessary highs for a warm sound without getting a dull sounding amp emulation.
The Roland RE-201 Space Echo contains a tape drive - therefore Tape Echo - with three tape heads and a spring reverb. A mode switch activates the three tape heads and / or the spring reverb in fixed combinations. Mode 1 - 4 only echo, mode 5 - 11 echo + reverb and mode 12 only reverb. The reverb and echo volumes of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo can be adjusted separatly. With an intensity control you can adjust the feedback and herewith the number of echo repeats.
