    Music Shop Tyranny

    I've actually had pretty good luck at the GC by my house. I guess it must just vary from store to store. The guys at my store aren't bitter washed up musicians, but gigging musicians who only work there for the employee discounts. Isaiah

    What exactly does a flanger do?

    Yeah, but this particular song definitely has flanger going in it. The bassist - Simon Gallup - uses flanger in a couple of other songs, but I can't think of any right now. You're right though - they use a lot more chorus. Isaiah

    Flanger gives you the sound of "The Cure!" Heavy use in this video. Enjoy! Isaiah

    Help me find an overdrive catered to my needs.

    I've been using the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic pedal. It's actually a guitar pedal, but it sounds great on my rig (Gibson T-Bird IV through GK 1001RB & RBH cabs). It has two channels - rhythm & lead. Rhythm gives me more low end, but I lose some low end if I switch to Lead, so I usually...

    No Gig Last Night - San Diego Musicians Gig here at your own risk!

    I don't think playing for booze is necessarily playing for free. I mean . . . yeah, it's not cash, but we would have been getting something in return. Having been screwed over on that deal, the only reason we even considered stepping foot on that stage was because our people started to arrive...

    No Gig Last Night - San Diego Musicians Gig here at your own risk!

    In all honesty, things actually worked out well for the band. We've been going through some internal problems lately. Nothing brings a band together like a common enemy, though. I've never seen our band so tight as we were last night. We closed ranks real quick, and it actually wound up being a...

    No Gig Last Night - San Diego Musicians Gig here at your own risk!

    Here’s our band’s experience with “The Stage Saloon,” located in the Gaslamp district in downtown San Diego. Had they been up front with our band from the beginning, we may or may not have accepted the gig, but even if we hadn’t there would at least have been no hard feelings. The way these...
