    Swolen Pickle Suggested Settings

    Just changed my strings out to DR Lo-Riders from EBs and running into my VT deluxe. I think I am in love with this pedal now. I am glad I kept it.

    Thinking of trading my VT Bass Deluxe - talk me out of it?

    How does one find the key for a song like this?

    I play a few black keys songs and usually I mimic the guitar parts if they are straight forward. Then stuff that power chords stick with the roots and try to follow the drums. Usually goes over well.

    Home studio amp and pa placement

    I have a home studio I am building, its about 12x16, not a bad size for a 3 or 4 piece band. I am debating with the rest of the band on where the best spot will be for drums, PA speakers and the amps (bass and potentially two guitarists). Now we generally want to do live recordings of our...

    Need advice from touring guys with girlfriends...

    Hmm, my fiance and I used to live together and when my company went bankrupt I had to take a job on the west coast (we live in NY). I ended up moving out there for 6 months and did the long distance thing. It sucked not being with her and not being able to share those 6 months together. We...

    VT Bass Pedal saves the day

    Similar story, last weekend I was recording a demo and we went straight to the board. Sound engineer was impressed by the overall tone, he was trying to dial in a fat tone and it was effortless. Its nice to keep the sound engineer happy makes both our jobs even easier.

    Setting up my board (VT deluxe content)

    I have been playing round with various setups with my board, can't say I have found the ultimate setup just yet. I have 3 more pedals I want to put on my board but now sure where they should go or if I should rearrange things (again) for the most optimal setup. Here is my current setup...

    Cabling up the VT Deluxe

    Just got my pedal on Friday last week, one word so far about it, WOW. Great pedal, very very versatile with lots of capabilities. I definitely found it gave my notes a lot more girth and made them more audible. Enough to the point where my guitarist and drummer even complimented it...
