    I've got the original, which seems to be functionally the same, but less convenient location for the EQ toggle (dip switches inside), and a bigger case with side jacks. It's by far my favorite HM based circuit I own. The smaller footprint on the 2 alone might sell me though.

      @ScienceofLoud  2 роки тому +8

      The whisky is mostly there to prevent my technique from getting into my throat and causing damage. It's all diaphragm work, so I want to keep it down there. Numbing the throat for some reason helps.
      The actual chain is the Lewitt LCT 640 TS to the interface and once in the DAW I've stacked up a compressor, EQ and a touch of TS808 overdrive - a very common trick for getting vocals to sit.
      The main vocal is dry and down the centre, then there are two further takes panned out with reverb and delay added and set much lower in the mix. The result is one cohesive massive sounding vocal.

    • @JDODify
      @JDODify 2 роки тому

      @@ScienceofLoud amazing. Cheers. I've never heard of using an 808. I use a VST called CamelCrusher. I also double track for fatness, but I give it a bit more reverb and have it low in the mix directly behind the lead with delay on the lead. I'll try having my lead drier and delay on my fattener, thanks again.

    When should we expect to see the SG Repair Part 2? I have to say your video on fixing that SG was a bit of an epiphany for me about the “value” of Gibson & other guitars. Now, in my opinion the SG is not exactly a super expensive guitar so in my mind unless it’s a Les Paul SG from 61-63, or a true vintage otherwise, it doesn’t really seem worth it to repair. BUT this is where your video made me realize that while you can pick up a new SG for a reasonable price depending on the amount of repair required it is still worth it to repair a “modern” SG because like every guitar that is over $1,000.00 US it’s not about how much you spend to replace it but about that guitar’s history, that guitar’s “mojo” and yes the fact that it’s a Gibson. I would say the same would apply to an American Strat, a Martin or Taylor acoustic etc. Really any of the “higher-end”, even their lower-end models, are worth repairing because often times they have a history and a story & even if they don’t you can always fall back on their brand name. Plus, if you pick the broken “husk” up cheap enough it then can become a great project that you can take pride in once it’s done. Now, I am personally not a luthier and I barely properly replaced all of the Quick Connect electronics with a hand-wired harness with 500K CTS pots, Vitamin T paper-in-oil caps, Switchcraft toggle and jack (so every hardware item is 100% what Gibson uses in the factory only the capacitors are unique/“after-market”) in my SG, but if you’re either interested in giving wood working a whirl or are a good luthier then it becomes a project worthwhile for the sake of the project itself.
