The stomp boxes are the problem!!

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

If you've considered the Replifex as an alternative to the G-Major then you could have the phantom power setup. I believe that has all the mix and boost capabilities the G-Major does also.

John if you decide to go the route of the powered foot controller and you need a 7-pin MIDI cable, I have a 30 foot one that you can have. Let me know.

I have been on the lookout for a replifex but no luck so far. I would also be into an Intellifex. I used to have one and it was great.

The only thing I don't like about the G-major is the foot controller isn't powered by the midi cable. I still have to run an extension cord out to the front of the stage. That sucks.

Well, that is one thing that sucks about the G-Major. It doesn't have MIDI pedal Phantom power through the MIDI cable. Major screwup on their behalf. Even my Intellifex has the feature.

But the intellifex doesnt do latching switching like the G-Major... And I had to buy a MIDI switcher for that... sigh..

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

I really need to find something quick. I am supposed to debut my new rig this coming Sunday to my band in NJ. I looks like I will have to debut it dry with no solo boost.

"Captain, we need MORE BOOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Try running the graphic EQ pedal through the front and boost it and the mids, or maybe your OD-1?

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

I tried both of them. Neither of them give me the push in front that I need. I am thinking about going for a G-Major and a G-Minor. I really don't want to get up in the effects thing again. With a G-Minor I can change channels on the Soldano, I can have access to the G-Major tuner and I can set up a few channels for solo boost and chorus for the clean channel. I really don't know what kind of midi pedal I want yet. I was also looking at the TC Electronics M300
A friend of mine would sell me an Alesis Midiverb 4 really cheap but I don't know if I can use it for boost.

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

G-Minor is a pain in the ass. Not worth using if you got it free... Except maybe in you rbasement. Try it live and you'll hate it fast.

Even this guy hates it.

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

there is really no need for a solo boost if you have good tone. period.

Tell that to the other guitarist in my band who plays through a 5150. Then again.. I haven't had really good tone since the early 80's!! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: The stomp boxes are the problem!!

What I hate, is the sound guy used to turn me down when I hit my solo boost since it prolly redlined my channel on the board for a moment, then he'd forget to turn it back up and you wouldn't hear me the rest of the night...

Grr..

This must be comedy central. A sound guy who turns up your guitar solo's??? Holy crap. I have heard of them but have never had the pleasure of having one. Now if you asked me if I had a soundman who turns down every slider until he finds the channel that is making the feedback I would say YES. While were at it... I won't need any effects or channel switching on stage either. I can have all console based effects and my "Fantasy" soundman can turn them on and off and even switch channels for me when needed. I wonder if he can work the wah too? Hmm.....
