Man, Joe.. I hope you don't have any problems switching back, filing the nut may change your intonation, and having strings that heavy under that tension may also bow your neck, so DO NOT try to get it in standard tuning.
The next time they are out of your brand of strings, try something with the same string gauge as you normally use. If you are not sure what they are, cut the string size guide out of the package and keep it in your wallet.
I work in the steel industry, my friend... And we have a little saying that you should probably remember (this is something that fits all too much of life today)....
Those who CAN, do.... Those who CAN'T, manage....
As long as the strings are not bronze, you can use any other type in a pinch, as long as you match your sizes properly.... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazookajoe_666 from Thursday, December 17, 2009 10:12:54 AM)

That is a preference that most guitarists choose. Glenn and KK also use "active" pickups in their guitars, and some of the personality of the pickups are lost when using a wireless. I have a guitar with the same pickups, and there is a slight difference when switching between corded or wireless.
There are guitarists out there (Glenn and KK included) that have stuff they no longer use connected in their systems, but they don't dare remove it for fear of altering their sound. A guitar player's quest for tone is eternal, so if you like what you have, you leave it alone.
Personally, I go wireless, because a 20 foot cord can make one MISERABLE pretzel knot..... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Thursday, December 17, 2009 12:09:10 AM)

Joe There are many ways to hold the pick, you just have to become accustomed to the way you do it , if you change.
The way you have it in the second pic is probably the most traditional way. Rotate the pick to where the point is pointing at the bridge, just leave yourself enough pick to still use. Pointing at the bridge, you have a longer area to pick with, but a much shallower area. This is the way to the harmonics. You still need to pluck the string all the while slighlty controlling the oscillation of the string( not muting). Example.... when you pick the string normally, it vibrates in an oblong but large pattern. By controlling the oscillation, you make the string vibrate in a more unifrom manner that is a much smaller (tighter) pattern. Try to lightly touch or brush the string with your thumb while you pick , it will sound dull at first, but practice and it will come to you naturally.
Now as for holding it at an angle, depends on what type of attack you want. What speed etc.
Experiment is the best thing to do, but don`t be bound by tradiotn, try whatever works for you.
I the tips of my thumb and finger to hold the pick, not the back where the knuckle is.
[Bazookajoe_666] Friday, November 27, 2009 1:16:04 PM
This is how I hold it:
[Bazookajoe_666] Friday, November 27, 2009 1:10:45 PM
Naa that doesn't help either. I don't hold the pick the proper way. With your thumb and the side of your index finger or even at the proper 45% angle. I do it all backwards.
I hold the pick with my pretty much the whole tip of my thumb, nearly down to the middle knockle. I use the tip of my index finger for the other side, and occasionally my finger finger tip at the same time..
Joe
If you are using a traditinal style of pick (elongated triangle) then turn the pick where the longest part ofthe pick is facing the bridge and use the side to pcik with. It`s got the larger angle which actually gives you less area to pick with making the harmonics much easier. George Lynch does this and you`ve heard how he uses harmonics. I incorporated this into my picking years ago and it really does make a difference. I`ve also changed recently to the smaller Jazz picks(heavy gauge) that have the beveled edges. They work well as they have a smaller area giving the same effect as using the side of the pick. Edited at: Friday, November 27, 2009 8:41:47 AM

I'm still working on my goal of learning all the rhythm parts of Painkiller by ear. I've like 85-90% done.
I literally can't do punch harmonics though, because of the way I hold my pick. So I do fake ones where the natural harmonics are. You just pick the harmonic like regular, but as soon as you do, press down on that fret and it keeps the harmonic tone, so it SOUNDS like a pinch harmonic, but its actually not. I can only do it in certain places, so that second riff in Painkiller is pretty well impossible for me right now haha. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Can the MKII do the pedal thing too?

The Vetta is awesome. It`s a digital amp. It has tons of power , no matter the load you put on it (4,8or 16ohms) . Tubeamps require that you match the load by a switch on back, no big deal though. With the Vetta, you can have doing a emulation of any Marshall on the left channel and a emulation of a Mesa Boogie on the right , or vice-versa!! Any combination you can think up, it`ll do. It has all kinds of "pedals" stored internally andwith the foot controller you can get for it. That`s really all you will ever need. It would be like having a rackful of gear on your backline.
Just get two cabs for it so you can explore in stereo.
I tested one out a few years back and ended up staying several hours trying all the diferent things it can do. And I still didn`t get close to exploring it all.
The Mk II`s are tube, and that is my favorite for tone. But if you want the Vetta, go for it, you won`t be sorry.

K2M is right on the BBE, I had one and they make such a difference, really livens things up. I also had the GE-7 that I used to mainly boost my top end for solos.
The HM-2 you have is good, you don`t have to run it WFO, they can be used as an Overdrive . with good results.
At one point I had nearly an all Boss setup consisting of a
Compressor, EQ, Digital Delay, Chorus. I also had a Dunlop Dimebag model Crybaby, Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion and a Hush pedal.
I still have the Silver Dragon, and I also have a Boss DS-1 that was given to me by a member of the board here. Occasionally I plug into my son`s little Fender amp and use the DS-1. Otherwise I use my newly attained Behringer V-amp 2 with headphones. I can plug in the Mp3 and wail away.

The JCM 900 that I had briefly a couple of years ago, was about the same as it was a 50 watter also. That one only saw action at a friends shop building where we (old band mates from several bands would get together and play) and never needed to be cranked up much.

Can the MKII do the pedal thing too? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guitardude from Saturday, November 07, 2009 4:34:12 PM)

Just get two cabs for it so you can explore in stereo.
I tested one out a few years back and ended up staying several hours trying all the diferent things it can do. And I still didn`t get close to exploring it all.
The Mk II`s are tube, and that is my favorite for tone. But if you want the Vetta, go for it, you won`t be sorry.

The HM-2 you have is good, you don`t have to run it WFO, they can be used as an Overdrive . with good results.
At one point I had nearly an all Boss setup consisting of a
Compressor, EQ, Digital Delay, Chorus. I also had a Dunlop Dimebag model Crybaby, Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion and a Hush pedal.
I still have the Silver Dragon, and I also have a Boss DS-1 that was given to me by a member of the board here. Occasionally I plug into my son`s little Fender amp and use the DS-1. Otherwise I use my newly attained Behringer V-amp 2 with headphones. I can plug in the Mp3 and wail away.

I have looked at the Line6 amps and I like them, I had a couple of the Line6 PODS that were good. The first I sold due to it`s complexity, I wanted to do changes on the fly and diging into a menu wasn`t what I wanted. I then went with another lesser POD but it broke.
I now have that Behringer and love it. I `ve found it easy to dial in the tones on the Behringer to work well with the EMG`s in my guitar.
Check out the new Marshall combos, The Haze and the Class5, affordable and all tube.
The class5 only has a volume, bass, mid and treble that`s it!! I think with my DS-1 or my Silver Dragon in front of it , it`ll scream!!
Right now, an amp is a definite after christmas purchase, that is unless I get cold feet again, as usual.
When I was using the BBE,. I used it to enhance my signal after all that processing dulled it up. My EQ was set to boost the upper frequenicies and the level for solo`s.
[K2M] Friday, November 06, 2009 2:46:37 PM
I like the Id of setting the EQ flat. and getting a level boost. I would use one or the other to color the sound. I would use the bbe.
See if the signal boost from the eq sounds good. Maybe for solo's.
The Cry baby is something i dont use much. It is great for trippy soloing or funking riffs. but i never liked the way it colored my sound. they are fun to play with. But just for a while. IMO the wah wah takes over.
The wah was used as a "filter" when it was left half open/closed to give use a mid range cut/boost. to cut through. I like to go for the tone without the cry baby. It is good to have around sometimes. I never start from there. Edited at: Friday, November 06, 2009 2:47:14 PM

I am making an assessment based on what i like.
JD the Eq in you signal chain is adding that desired extra crunchness.
THe BBE will do the same thing. IMO The BBE will Make your sound Sizzle. Kind of a pro mod additive.
Gives you a modernized crunch. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:33:11 PM)

That is the question of the ages!!
Here is a simple rule for what pedal in what order... process your distortion, don`t distort your processing.
The HM-2 should be first the your EQ .
EQ`s are notorious for being noisy whitenoise (hiss), if you put it in front of the HM-2 then your are distorting your noise!!
If you were to have a setup like I once had, .... this is the order you could consider
Compresser, distortion, wah pedal,eq,phaser or flanger, delay, chorus, noise gate BBE or any other type of signal enhancer.
Now that is not something that is set in stone, experiment and see what you like. That was the order of what I had when I was gigging. The wah pedal would find itself after the eq from time to time, not sure why I would change it, just did.
Also, use a regulated power supply, not the batteries. As the battery dies, then even in the off position, the pedal will affect your signal by not allowing it to pass thru properly.
Now, with that said, there are some pedals that offer a true bypass feature when off and then the bad battery shouldn`t mess with your signal.
KK and Glenn both once said that they had pedals in their boards (interview was from the 80`s) that they never used anymore, but didn`t remove them because it may affect their tone . [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:38:35 PM)

So many different combinations of EVERYTHING. Ever little detail fucks with your tone, its insane.
[SDBinNY] Thursday, November 05, 2009 7:20:12 PM
Guitar~HM2~BBE~Amp.
If you are happy with your tone, put the eq in the effects loop and set it flat with a slightly higher output level for the boost. If you are using it to shape your tone, play with the set up and see where it fits best. Most likely the BBE will be at the end of the chain.

Back when I was doing gigs, I would set the volume on my Marshall (JCM 800 2205 model)at 4 and that was plenty. Occasionally, when we played a larger venue , I would do 4.5 , but that was mainly for my own sound and being able to hear myself adequately.
The JCM 900 that I had briefly a couple of years ago, was about the same as it was a 50 watter also. That one only saw action at a friends shop building where we (old band mates from several bands would get together and play) and never needed to be cranked up much.

Sadly, I don`t have either of my Marshalls anymore, priorities changed so they had to go. I have been in the market for something smaller for a long time now, all tubes preferably, but without breaking the bank.
K2M is right on the BBE, I had one and they make such a difference, really livens things up. I also had the GE-7 that I used to mainly boost my top end for solos.
The HM-2 you have is good, you don`t have to run it WFO, they can be used as an Overdrive . with good results.
At one point I had nearly an all Boss setup consisting of a
Compressor, EQ, Digital Delay, Chorus. I also had a Dunlop Dimebag model Crybaby, Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion and a Hush pedal.
I still have the Silver Dragon, and I also have a Boss DS-1 that was given to me by a member of the board here. Occasionally I plug into my son`s little Fender amp and use the DS-1. Otherwise I use my newly attained Behringer V-amp 2 with headphones. I can plug in the Mp3 and wail away. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

Eminence makes a good speaker and seems to be gaining in popularity, MR. Scary uses them!!! I belive that Dimebag was using them also in the Kranks, but I`m not sure.
I replaced the Celestions in my old Marshall cabs around 1993 or 4 and used the Carvin British series speakers, there was hardly any difference between them and the Celestions.
Get out there and listen to a variety, you never know what you may like.

I do know that some of the Line6amps have pedalboards(as in controllers) you can hook up to them and control your efx and your channel. I`m not sure as to which ones , other than the top of the line models Like the Vetta, now that is a kick ass amp!!!
Pedals should be fine thru the amp, if you have an efx loop, put them there, if not, run them in front of the amp. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Saturday, October 31, 2009 9:01:03 PM)

The Bogner series of Line6 amps come with Celestion speakers, which are the most sought after speakers for guitar.
I think for around that 1500 for a half stack is a fair price for entrance into the world of tube tone.
Also check out Bugera, they are owned by Behringer and make clone amps of marshalls and Peavey`s , but they sound very good. I don`t know how their longevity will be, but might worth a look into as well when you`re ready to step up into a bigger amp.

One thing I don't like about Line 6 amps is all the effects. There IN the amp, therefore you gotta press the buttons. How would a effects pedal work on a Line 6 amp? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guitardude from Saturday, October 31, 2009 8:12:01 PM)

The Bogner series of Line6 amps come with Celestion speakers, which are the most sought after speakers for guitar.
I think for around that 1500 for a half stack is a fair price for entrance into the world of tube tone.
Also check out Bugera, they are owned by Behringer and make clone amps of marshalls and Peavey`s , but they sound very good. I don`t know how their longevity will be, but might worth a look into as well when you`re ready to step up into a bigger amp.

About 700$ more haha.
Well even so, 1500$ more or less is not half bad for that.

This Spider Valve MKII Head is like 800$ nearly. Thats not a half bad price. I wonder how much it would cost with a cab underneath it.
