I’ve done it both ways. When I started using NNS, having come from a classical background, I preferred 1 for the minor “tonic”. I really couldn’t see why anyone would notate in relation to the relative Major, making the minor tonic “6-“. But after a few charts, I quickly realized that it was...

@fretlessman71 - if you’re still looking for a cross-platform app for authoring NNS charts, check out JotChord (www.jotchord.com). You just type the numbers, and it creates a nicely formatted PDF, updating as you type.

My #1 complaint about “ChordPro” style charts that are all over the interwebs. They work for guys/gals with a guitar who already have the song in their ears. As a rhythm section player, I need to know exactly where the chord changes are so I can help signal them.

My favorite aspect of NNS charts is the focus on detailing the structure of a song. Every measure is accounted for. Agree with what folks said, NNS pretends every song is in a major key, so you see a lot of 6- chords. If a song feels minor, like you’re describing, then you’ll find that the V or...

I just got one and added it to my pedalboard. I wasn’t sure how well it would do what I wanted to do. Specifically, I have a Noble that I love, but I wanted the option to add a bit more grit / amp-like tone for when I play direct without an amp (my norm now, it seems). I’ve only played it at...

still available?

OK, fair enough. In that case, I'll wait on the sidelines to see if others find the BYOC+mods useful for fingerstyle playing. It's very kind of you to contribute your expertise, Frank.

Thanks, Frank! I'd be open to putting it in a larger enclosure, if anyone had ideas about how to add pots for attack/release. For release, would it be as simple as replacing the proposed 2k2 resistors with a pot? 10K linear, perhaps? @dstroud or @bongomania, please let us know if you end up...

Sorry for the bump on the 5-month-old thread, but I was curious if anyone built the pedal, tried the mods, and did any before/after comparisons. I play a Fender P-Bass with flatwounds, fingerstyle, through a B15 (in the studio) and an Eden WT-300 (live). I don't love the non-defeatable...

One vote for the EBS BassIQ. It's very versatile, subtle to all-out wackiness, providing your playing is consistent. I find it forces me to play consistently to keep the effect subtle, so it's kinda like a training tool. :hmm:
