How fricken' cool. I think people sleep on Framus.

This table is brilliant. Great to reference various flatwound string characteristics in one place when looking for a specific sound and feel. Thanks for posting this. Did you create it? Would be great to fill it out with any other flats out there (e.g. DR Legends) to have a complete reference...

This is great info. Thanks for sharing! I think you're on to something with the attenuation and tightening of the low end. It's probably part of the reason that it's difficult to explain (or maybe just understand) how the knobs work. I agree with you; I think this is not just a LPF. And...

I've been reading all your posts on the SGFX Beta V and walking through your journey as you learn more about how it's used. Thank you for sharing everything you've discovered! I feel like this is a very misunderstood pedal, for very good reason. SGFX was maybe too clever when they created it...

Wow. You weren't joking. That quite a beast. Love the tones it puts out on the recordings. Sounds great.

Thanks for that link! Great find. What a gorgeous specimen. Such a thoughtful design. Plus, I'm a sucker for cool pick guards.

Of course you have one of these. Of course! I've been looking for a good one for a very long time. Beautiful.

I vote for all of the above. There's no substitute for hands-on experience with strings.

Very interesting. What little I've been able to find about the Gibson flatwounds is that they're quite similar to Chromes but slightly brighter.

I'm a fan of the Gibson strings. I just checked their website and see that they offer a roundwound they call "ultra-light". I don't remember seeing that before. Doesn't seem particularly "ultra-light", but here it is: Ultra-Light Gauge: .045 .065 .080 .100 Light Gauge: .045 .065 .085 .105...

In case it helps anyone, I have found a power supply that can run the SLO without need for a doubler: The Foxgear Powerhouse 3000 has a single 12v output that runs up to 1 amp. I bought one just to power the SLO and it works without a problem. There is also a Powerhouse 6000 for people with...

Good call. Agreed completely, though I do get some noise from high Presence settings. Unfortunate but expected given it's a pretty strong eq. Another thing I've been using the switches for is to make the pedal work better with certain basses. For example, I have a Fender Starcaster (which I...

I've been using a very similar setting to this and I quite like it. For those who are confused by the LPF switch and the LPF knob, I don't fully understand how the switch changes the values controlled by the knob but I find the knob really just works more like a tone control. If you think of...

This is the question for console sound (IMO). For this reason I'd second the API option, but sounds like you may already have some sunk costs.

I second the DR Legend recommendation. Old school, but with a hint of new school clarity and bite in my opinion.
