    The album version? Try a 60's 12 string ricky, that'll do the trick!

    That's the main sound of the tone here. The unique tone of the rickenbacker. Other than that, I'd just say it's a light overdrive and PERHAPS some slapback delay, or some longer fill-in delays that are extremely quiet, but I don't think so.

    As for live versions (like slane and vertigo tours) probably just light overdrive and perhaps a tiny bit of compression.
  3. If you don't own or don't have the money to own a 360-12 Rickenbacker (like most of us, sadly), then go to slight distortion/overdrive and play around with the chorus (not the delay). The chorus can easily make (y)our poor 6 strings guitar like a shiny, brand new 12 strings one.


  4. Alex its crazy to imagine me seeing your videos a few years back. youve progressed so much man you real nail it now!!!!


  5. Thanks a lot dude!!!

  6. Hi people

    I'm gonna get a batch of short jacks to connect my new pedals to the amp, pedalboard, guitar, etc. I wanted to ask you something:

    do you prefer solid jack=>jack connectors like this one:


    or short cables (5, 10 or 20 cms) like this:


    ?


    Thanks
  7. cables for sure. Those solid jacks can be a huge pain in the ass, especially since some pedals have their input on the sides, and some on the tops. You start having to place pedals sideways in that case. Not a big deal for some, but it was for me back when I had a pedal board I'd suggest getting some short cables, and judging by the outcome of your board, you can always change stuff around afterwards!

    I know a lot of people make their own patch chords, you can get little kits that are really easy to use, just cut to size and attatch a jack. There's even some with no soldering required.

    I'd suggest getting short cables (I did that and was happy) for now, but it's entirely up to you!

    Don't be cheap on cables. If you use bargain cables... guitar to effects / effect to effect / and/or effects to amp - it will suck the life out of your tone.

    I remember seeing one dude, spent a lot of money on a Monster cable lead but had shit cables for the rest of the 'chain' (Effect to Effect and Effects to amp). He was confused why his tone was dying.

    Any job worth doing is worth doing right. Doesn't mean you have to have Monster cable. There are a lot of quality products out there.

    George L's are nice. You can cut them to size. They are solderless.

    There are other great cables. I have had great success with the George L's.
  10. Heey guys,

    Its been a long time I posted something here, I decided to start over again
    New year, more music and more passion.

    Im a beginner guitar player, Im just learning the basics right know, I have a little question about pedals and stuff, I own the boss dd3 pedal and I am the owner of the G2NU

    Has anyone any experience with that thing, I got it from uncle but I don't know what to do with it yet. Any suggestions?
  11. People, how do you call this hexagonal pieces?



    Is it called nut??

    I need to buy one of them in order to tie the jack of my acoustic guitar, and I don't know how it's called in English and most importantly where to find them. Thanks!

    EDIT. This is in fact the one I need:
  12. I'd personally call that a nut
