  1. I forgot what that thread was called for covers, so I'll just post it in this topic.

    Couple new videos using my new Gibson Explorer. Tell me what you guys think about the pickups and the sound and stuff. Thanks!

  2. Sounds like you have a lot of fun.

    Honestly: The youtube sound quality isn't good enough to give a detailed review. But on the vid it sounds like Edge. Surely close enough for 99.9% of all listeners. What kind of delay do you use?

    Thanks man! I agree about the youtube sound quality, but it didn't turn out too bad.

    I'm using a modulated delay (not too modulated, as you can tell) from the DD-20. Great delay unit, it's been spoken about here before.


  4. I'll have to check out the clips when I get home from work. Congrats again on your Explorer. Nice guitar, isn't it?

    I just received the RV-600. Sounds identical to the Verbzilla to my ears. I'll keep it and gig with it on Saturday. If it doesn't break I can recommend it.

    Gig went great. Only thing that broke was the power supply for my delay pedal
    Did the rest of the gig on batteries... and the RV600 will be a permanent part of my rig.

    If you have the $$$ and patience batteries are better, as they are much quieter.

  7. That's what I heard before. But my power supplies never produced any noise.

  8. Hey guys, can anyone direct me to a good tab of a live version of still haven't found as played on the joshua tree/love town tours. Normally I'd have a go at working it out, but I need to get it down for a performance and I've left it rather late! Any help/tips on delay settings, capo position and the like would be greatly appreciated,

    Cheers


  9. If you have a good adaptor and you've not damaged the power cord, there should be no problem.

    If you are having grounding issues, that could be the amp or other things too.

    Battery issues and drain during a gig are far more trouble than they are worth.

    Try a voodoo lab Pedal Power 2. Never failed me. Never had noise problems or tone problems from using it. It can power 8 effects. It can power up to 2 Line 6 multi-pedals (Like the MM4, DL4, DM4...). Nothing but good things to say about the Pedal Power 2.

  10. I actually have a decent one, I never really experimentes with batteries. But I noticed that when my mother turns on something electric, sometimes the noise is amplified...batteries never do that. Plus, I have heard that a lot of famous and rich musicians use batteries, so there is a difference, even if it is minimal.
  11. I have a feeling Edge doesn't use batteries to power up the 6 feet of gear he has. And if he did, knowing Edge and how he likes to have the perfect sound (strings restrung before every gig etc.) he would have new batteries put in every gig, or maybe even during the gig. So I DOUBT Edge, or MANY famous musicians use batteries.

    Nope. And even though the Boss FA-1 was originally made for battery only, his has been modified to use an electronic adaptor.

    Again, if you have noise issues, there are other things that are more likely than a Boss adaptor or Voodoo Lab-like multi-adaptor.

    - Inputs on guitars can have issues and be noise.
    - Inputs on amp can have issues and be noise.
    - Cord connectors from effect to effect can have issues and be noise.
    - Cord connectors from your instrument cable can have issues and be noise.
    - There could also be loose / bad connections withing your guitar (volume/tone pots, pickups...)
