Peavey EVH Wolfgang Coil Split / Tap
Переглядів 3,7 тис.7 років тому
This is my first youtube video! I thought I'd start by sharing some information on modifying my Peavey Wolfgang Special which has been great fun for rock/metal but limited for anything else. This mod adds a coil split switch to the front of the guitar which - in my opinion - makes it more more usable. I used the wiring diagram shown in the link below to figure out the connections. I hope this h...

    I just bought a Gotek plug and play drive on eBay from a company that specialises in all sorts of samplers and hardware. Just let them know what your kit it you want the drive for and they do the rest. Got a 16gb SD card included and pre formatted. They’re easy to install and work straight away. No formatting or SD card partitioning needed. They cost between £50-70 for the drives. Cost difference is for slightly larger screens. Worked like a charm in my Akai S5000 and S3000xl. Easy to install and once fitted are really easy to use AND can load large samples with no bother. 👍🏼 They even load a bunch of samples for you as well.

    • @ClaireSweets
      @ClaireSweets 4 місяці тому

      Gotek emulates a floppy drive which means your samples can't be larger than the size of the floppy. With scsi-sd or Zulu you can save files of any size. Much better solution.

    I can totally relate to the Strat single-coil vs Humbucker clean tone thing....but I've never liked the thin sound of splitting humbuckers until I bought my first PRS...they don't split the HB 100% (partial coil split)...they put a resistor (ca. 2K-10K etc.) between the splittet coil and the ground which results in a thicker more natural sc tone...easy mod, big effect...the higher the resistor the more of the splittet coil comes through

    Any idea why the midi out of the xr18 isn't changing my pedal? I have logic sending midi messages thru the xr18 and it's not working. I've literally tried everything so maybe there's something I'm missing that isn't obvious?

    I have a question and I'm hoping somebody who frequents this video might find it and be able to answer it. Does the Behringer XR18 incorporate any function for midi timecode MTC? I'm wondering if there is a way that I can output or input which means I could cross convert to SMPTE LTC timecode in some fashion. My alternative is to just eat a channel.

    • @stevemountford3707

    Great video. I have the XR 18 and A few years ago I decided to connect midi pedals for recording and controlling my iPad for song trigger and page turning. I’d moved away from it but now using the BEATBUDDY and other singular devices looking to do some recording a live stage performance. The ability to isolate things and doing the click track as well as stopping, starting and muting and unmuting channels is what I’m thinking for live stage with acoustic microphones. I do not have a looper control box nor have I seen 1 the works with both 1/4 inch and XLR combine. This will allow me to on the fly hands free control on or off the channels in and out of the XR & Aeros with designated inputs. This avoids having to use 2 mixers as well.
