The Gigging Musician

Inside 65 Amps

 Posted by Paul Schille at 11:45 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 252013
 

To anyone who follows The Gigging Musician, it will come as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of 65 Amps. If you haven’t tried one of their amps yet, you really owe it to yourself to give them a listen. While they can be a bit hard to find depending on where you live, it is definitely worth the effort. I use an original 65 London and it’s hard to beat the tone I get out of it. When we’re out on the road or in Nashville it’s amazing how many of these amps you see on stage.

For the show this year they are introducing the Producer and a Red Line SoHo. While the Red Line series is their lower-priced “players” amps, some would argue that the new SoHo beats out its more pricy sibling. The Producer features EL-34s, but with a new design and specially designed transformer from Mercury Magnetics that allow the tubes to literally last for years, saving you the cost of re-tubing and re-biasing every year or so. Another added benefit is a great clean tone that is not common with the EL-34 tubes.

The following picture is very similar to what my dream music room would look like at home!

New Martin Acoustics

 Posted by Paul Schille at 11:32 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 252013
 

One of the guitars I really wanted to check out was the new version of the Martin John Mayer Signature guitar, the 00-42. Much like the very limited edition 00-45 Stagecoach guitar released last year, this new model is going to have much wider distribution and come at a bit lower price-point.

20130125-232254.jpg

20130125-232310.jpg

While this is a really small guitar, the sound is anything but small! The notes literally jump out of the guitar and it’s a dream to play. The embellishments and detail work on the guitar are beautiful and it’s the perfect guitar to grab and go anywhere.

Also worth noting are the guitars in the new Retro Series. Based on some of the best examples of each model, these guitars have all the modern conveniences and are perfect for the gigging musician who is looking for that combination of tradition and ease of use. With a D-18, HD-28, D-45, and 00-28, I played them all and would have a very hard time choosing my favorite. Let us know which on you like best!

Best of Show Guitar – Hahn 1229

 Posted by Paul Schille at 11:19 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 252013
 

Hands down my favorite guitar of the show has been the Hahn Model 1229 all mahogany guitar. This is the very same guitar recently reviewed by Premiere Guitar Magazine, and shown below.

20130125-225725.jpg

20130125-225754.jpg

20130125-225812.jpg

Chihoe also told me that he recently sent the guitar off to Joe Perry to try out and since Joe wanted humbucking pickups, in went a Duncan stacked Tele in the bridge and a Lollar mini-humbucker in the neck. That turned out to be a great choice as the pickups are perfectly balanced and tone is amazing in every pickup position.

The first thing you notice when you pick up one of his guitars is the attention to detail and how well setup they are. It’s amazing how many guitars you pick up at the show that have had very little attention payed to playability, and in this respect the Hahn is noticeably different. Fret ends are perfect, fingerboard edges are comfortable, and he has totally nailed the neck shape. These are guitars you can’t wait to pick up and play.

Chihoe’s guitars have been highly rated since his original model 228 came out just a few years ago. While there is no shortage of people copying this iconic design, few are doing it nearly as well as Chihoe Hahn. Most of the guitars at his booth have already been spoken for at the show, and I’m afraid if this one is still available when I go back tomorrow, he may have made one more sale!

So Ray and I are off to NAMM again this week and there’s a ton of things I’m already looking forward to checking out! But more importantly, what would you like us to check out and report on here? I think we’ve realized over the last few years that there’s just too much stuff in Anaheim for the two of us to cover, so if there’s something you’d like to see us cover that we may not be aware of, just let us know and we’ll try to get to it.

As for me, here is just a sampling of some of this things I’m looking forward to checking out this week (in no particular order):

Mesa Boogie Joins the Effects Fray With 4 New Overdrive Pedals

 Posted by Paul Schille at 2:18 pm  Gear, News, Reviews
Nov 282012
 

Mesa Boogie has joined the ever-growing boutique pedal market with four new overdrive pedals, and given their 44 year history of writing the book on amp overdrive, these should be something special! I suppose it’s only fair to state right up front that I am a huge fan and have used Mesa amps for more than 25 years, so I’m really looking forward to putting these new ODs through their paces as soon as possible. In the meantime I’ll include what Boogie has to say about the pedals, as well as include some inside info direct from Boogie on how their ODs compare to other models you may be familiar with.

From Mesa insider:

Tone-Burst – In same family as most clean boosts. Xotic RC Booster, Xotic EP Booster, Keeley Katana, etc.

Grid Slammer – Same family as overdrive pedals. Tube Screamer, Xotic AC Booster, King of Tone, OCD, etc.

Flux-Drive – Same family as higher gain overdrive pedals. Xotic BB Preamp, OD1, etc.

Throttle Box – High gain distortion. Definitely NOT a Recto, but it’s in the modern high gain family. MXR Fullbore, Super Distortion, Metal Zone, etc. Good lead sounds, and lo gain is versatile.

 

From the Mesa site:

Your favorite amp probably just found a few new friends! Welcome FOUR NEW DRIVE PEDALS from Mesa that cover the full range of musical styles, sounds and features in compact yet tone-packed packages.

Enter… Tone-Burst, Grid Slammer, Flux-Drive and Throttle Box! Between these four pedals lies an exceptional variety of clip, drive, overdrive, gain and full-on distortion with the tone you want and the features and versatility you expect from Mesa.

These pedals feature the same quality components, craftsmanship and inspiring performance as all of our
 custom amplifiers. All four pedals (and ALL Mesa products) are proudly 100% Designed AND Hand-Built right in our one-and-only shop in Petaluma, California, U.S.A. Each pedal also uses True Bypass On/Off Switching and is 9V battery powered or AC powered via an External Power Jack Input.

 

Tone-Burst

The TONE-BURST™ Boost/Overdrive offers a virtually transparent gain range usually associated with “clean” boost pedals. However, the TONE-BURST has enough gain to boost your guitar to the threshold of clip and slightly beyond, making it far more useful for a variety of applications. It’s incredibly powerful for adding boost, drive and/or EQ to any guitar and amp combination. Whether using it as a utility to boost the output of single coils to match a humbucker or as a subtle overdrive when a standard overdrive may be too much, the TONE-BURST is an incredibly useful and expressive pedal that makes the best things sound even better! Check out video clips here

 

Grid Slammer

The GRID SLAMMER™ Overdrive is an overdrive pedal that produces a variable boost in gain over a wide range with a classic, guitar-centric midrange bump that enhances many different playing styles. It’s a true overdrive “specialist” that covers an amazing array of what many top players consider the most expressive and musical ranges of overdrive. From sweet, subtle breakup to a harmonically smoldering overdrive that can both sting and sing, the GRID SLAMMER sets a new bar in legendary overdrive! Check out video clips here

 

Flux-Drive

The FLUX-DRIVE™ Overdrive+ is an overdrive for those who want more of all the best things from an overdrive! It has more liquid gain and enhanced sustain that easily feeds into rich harmonic overtones making it incredibly addictive and inspiring to play, especially to enhance a crunch or higher gain amp channel! It also offers a more complete tone-shaping network with individual Treble and Bass controls. This architecture makes the FLUX-DRIVE a more complete preamp with added versatility beyond that of most overdrive pedals. Check out video clips here

 

Throttle Box

The THROTTLE BOX™ Distortion serves up all genres of ROCK with cut and aggression, but retains the signature warmth and organic sonic quality found in all our instruments. While its main strengths lie in higher-gain sounds, it’s also versatile and the lower gain options shouldn’t be overlooked for classic rock or howling blues. It also features a unique Mid Cut that scoops out midrange to produce the signature Boogie “V” EQ-curve that so many artists have employed in our amps to create the world’s heaviest guitar tones! Check out video clips here

Summer NAMM 2012 – Alex Aguilar’s New Prototype Select-o-drive Amp

 Posted by Paul Schille at 6:03 pm  Gear, NAMM, Reviews
Jul 262012
 

Alex Aguilar with the HALO and Select-o-drive

One of the highlights of Summer NAMM for me this year was getting to spend some time with Alex Aguilar from Alairex. Best known for his legendary bass amplifier designs, Alex has once again turned his attention to us 6-stringers as you may remember from our recent story on the incredibly touch sensitive HALO overdrive pedal (you can have another look at that article here). Touch sensitivity seems to be a trend with Alex as he debuted the prototype of his new Alairex Select-o-drive amplifier at the show featuring remarkable touch sensitivity throughout it’s range. The model at the show was a 2×12, 3-channel combo, though the amp will eventually also be offered as a 1×12 combo and head version. The most unique thing about the amp though is that the preamp is 12ax7 tube driven, while the power section is solid-state. Alex said the idea came from the fact that it’s nearly impossible to get those great, old tubes like the venerable Sylvania 415 anymore, so he wanted to recreate that tone and feel in a bullet-proof, solid-state package. And from what I could tell from the prototype, he’s nailed it!

Alairex Select-o-drive

The amp sports the standard Clean, Crunch and Ultra channels.  The Clean channel features Volume, Master, Treble and Bass controls, with both Fat and Bright switches. The Crunch channel has Gain, Master, Treble, Middle and Bass controls with a bright switch, and the Ultra channel has Gain, Master, Treble, Middle and Bass controls with a maximum saturation switch. There are also separate Reverb controls for Clean and Crunch/Ultra. The prototype had a pair of Celestion Vintage 30s inside, but Alex is planning on trying several speaker combinations before settling on the final configuration.

While trying out new gear at NAMM can be a daunting experience, I got to spend enough time with the amp while Alex spun the knobs to know that he’s on to something with this amp. It was much like the HALO pedal where you get out of it very much what you put into it. The Clean channel could be pushed into soft overdrive simply by varying your pick attack, while the Crunch and Ultra channels were articulate and could be cleaned up nicely either by picking more lightly or rolling back the volume on your guitar. And speaking of guitars, Alex’s Custom Shop Nocaster body with an absolutely perfect ’62 neck is a dream to play and allowed me to go effortlessly from chickin’ pickin’ clean to heavily saturated shred with the click of a button.

While we don’t have a definitive timeline for release of the Select-o-drive at this point, we will let you know as soon as we find out. This is an amp you definitely want to check out for yourself once it’s available!

Summer NAMM in Nashville

 Posted by Paul Schille at 6:08 pm  Free
Jul 192012
 

So we’ve now been back home for a few days, are just starting to catch up on some much needed sleep, and have a surprising number of cool things to write about from the show. This was my first trip to Summer NAMM and when people said it was much smaller than Winter NAMM in Anaheim, they really weren’t kidding! I would guess it’s about the same size as the lower level in Anaheim, so if you’ve been there, you know how small we’re talking about. That being said, there were some interesting things on display there from folks like our friend Forrest Lee Jr. at Forrest Custom Guitars, Bluesman Vintage Guitars, Wampler Pedals, Little Walter Amps, Benado Effects, Alex Aguilar’s Alairex, Long Hollow Leather and Pete Schmidt Straps.

To buy myself some time to get these stories written I thought I’d leave you with a cool video of Brent Mason at the Wampler Pedals booth. Audio isn’t great, but man can that guy play! Enjoy!

The New Golden Cello Pedal from Mad Professor

 Posted by Paul Schille at 3:30 pm  Gear
Jun 192012
 

Mad Professor Golden Cello

Finland’s boutique pedal maker Mad Professor has just announced an interesting new pedal that combines singing, cello-like overdrive with a vintage tape delay sound to give you that classic Eric Johnson tone in a single box. Okay, so they don’t (can’t?) say that it’s Eric’s tone in a box, but hey, one listen and you’ll know exactly what they were shooting for. One thing not mentioned in the press release is that there are internal trim pots that give you more control over delay time and sounds, as the front delay knob only let’s you vary the effect level of the delay. The pedal is supposed to be available this Friday the 22nd of June and I know it’s one that I can’t wait to try out.

Following is from the Mad Professor press release and website:

Mad Professor Amplification Introduces the Golden Cello Pedal

Mad Professor, the Finland based Boutique pedal effects manufacturer, in partnership with Guitar Center’s Director of Merchandise, Barry Mitchell, announce the new co-developed Golden Cello pedal available exclusively at Guitar Center stores, Guitar Center online and Musicians Friend online.

The new Mad Professor Golden Cello pedal delivers one of the most sought after lead tones on the planet. Sweet, cello-like singing overdrive combined with the most luscious open ambient tape delay all packed into one small Gold box.

The tone that you used to need: a great overdrive, a vintage tape delay and a loud vintage full-stack at full volume is now one foot stomp away! Very easy to setup – just plug it into any (quality) clean amp and you get “The Tone!” you have been seeking, at any volume level. This inspiring pedal will keep you playing and playing, you simply can’t stop!

Just four knobs for total output: Volume, Delay level, Tone and Drive. You simply cannot get a bad tone out of this pedal. This is a pedal that belongs on every pedalboard, in every gigbag and every studio. Singing lead tone, with the classic Mad Professor dynamics and touch sensitivity.

Retail price $199.99

More on Pedalboards (or as my friends would say, that moron and his pedalboards!)

 Posted by Paul Schille at 11:28 pm  Gear
May 142012
 

So for those of you who’ve followed this site from the beginning, you already know about my compulsive fascination with all things pedalboards. It seems that no sooner do I have one finished and working perfectly, I either start in on another one or revamp my existing setup. For the last two years we have been touring and doing a lot of bigger shows and I put together a board that would give me all the sounds I needed for any show that might come along. I also put together a smaller fly-board as we were having to fly to enough dates that I got tired of tearing apart my big board every time we traveled. As I begin to wind down the touring (I am old after all!) I thought it was time to simplify and put together one reasonably-sized board that I could actually fit in my car and carry around, and would cover most everything I have coming up this summer. I blame this craziness on John Bohlinger’s latest article in Premiere Guitar about how he was simplifying this summer too. It’s seems a lot of people are heading in this direction as I’ve seen several great

How to run live backing tracks for your band with Ableton

 Posted by Ray Neyens at 3:20 pm  Gear, How To's, Videos
May 112012
 

I’ve recently had a number of fellow musicians approach me asking about how my band runs backing tracks for our live performances. I know that the use of backing tracks is a hotly debated topic in some circles of musicians, but we’ll leave that debate to another time. These days it seems to be more and more a fact of life for a lot of musicians that gig on a regular basis. So, if you do need to use backing tracks the video above can provide an overview on one way in which to achieve success in a live environment. Our setup involves the use of a MacBook. We use the older white version as they’re cheap to find on Craigslist and are pretty durable (don’t ask about the time we were in Montana and our singer drove over the laptop with an SUV – no it didn’t survive and we ended up doing the show sans tracks that night).   For software we use Ableton Live to run the tracks. We either trigger the tracks directly from the laptop using the arrow and enter keys or we sometimes use the Novation Launchpad which has 64 small trigger pads. This

Do You Need a Compressor Pedal?

 Posted by Paul Schille at 6:48 pm  Free, Gear
May 012012
 

Do I need a compressor pedal? I’ve asked myself this very questions many, many times over the years, and until fairly recently the answer was always an emphatic “No.” While I’ve tried many compressors over the years, I play fairly percussively and always felt that they took away some of the natural dynamics of my playing (which of course is exactly what they’re designed to do, right?). A few years ago I started playing modern country music and it seemed that every country guitarist I saw was using a compressor on their pedalboard, sometimes even more than one pedal! Now I’m no ace chickin’ picker, but I figured if I was going to play country I needed to find a compressor that worked for me. After trying more than a few pedals I happened onto the Barber Tone Press pedal, and the beauty of that pedal is that in addition to the regular compressor controls of Sustain, Attack, Tone, etc., it offered up a Blend knob that allowed me to add in just enough of my original, uncompressed signal that I didn’t lose all of my dynamics. Pretty cool, but I find that I still don’t turn it on all

Talk of the Day – New Uberschall and Ecstasy Pedals from Bogner!

Just announced today at Musikmesse in Frankfurt Germany, Bogner‘s new line of pedals. The Uberschall is like…..an Uberschall, while the Red Ecstasy features hotter tone and the Blue Ecstasy is crunchier/bluesier. There is rampant speculation on pricing flying around the web today, but since it’s quite apparent no one knows at this point, we won’t add to the frenzy here. Needless to say, these will be worth checking out once they are available. Check back here for more info as it becomes available!

NAMM Find #1 – Pete Schmidt Guitar Straps

 Posted by Paul Schille at 5:56 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 302012
 

I don’t know about the rest of you, but even with all of the guitar straps available today, it still seems like it’s hard to find great straps! Maybe I’m too picky, but to me your guitar strap says a lot about your personality. I’ve gotten great straps from Jeri Designs and Red Monkey, and I picked up a really nice, simple strap from Gruhn’s in Nashville by Long Hollow Leather. I’ve even started making straps from new and vintage belts that have turned out pretty well. One of the big problems with the great custom straps though is their high cost. Straps from Moody, El Dorado, and Anthology are really nice, but set you back the price of at least a couple nice effects pedals! That’s why we were happy to find Pete Schmidt Straps at NAMM this year. You always find great stuff on the bottom floor of the convention center where most of the smaller guys have booths, and this year was no exception. Pete’s straps are some of the highest quality we’ve seen and the prices are super competitive compared to straps of the same quality. I picked up a Black Iguana strap with creme stitching

Raising the Bar… Introducing Fret-King Black Label

 Posted by Paul Schille at 1:53 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 162012
 

With all of the articles and press releases coming out featuring all the amazing new gear debuting at this week’s NAMM show in Anaheim, there was a release that warranted a second look as many of you may not be familiar with Trevor Wilkinson’s line of guitars. I have been fortunate enough to work with Trevor and Dennis Drumm at JHS over the last year, and this new Fret-King Black Label line of guitars is well worth a closer look.The goal with this line was to combine boutique design, custom-shop quality, and pro playability, at a price that is affordable to all players. I have been using the Wilkinson Vintage Icon Tele for the past year and it has become one of my go-to guitars for the biggest shows we play. It’s hard to believe the extremely reasonable price-point while playing this guitar, as it more than holds it’s own next to some of the iconic guitars available today. Here is the press release in it’s entirety: Raising the bar… Introducing Fret-King Black Label Worldwide trade distributor John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd and leading musical instrument designer Trev Wilkinson are delighted to announce the ground-breaking new Fret-King Black Label

New Aguilar HALO Overdrive Pedal to Debut at NAMM

 Posted by Paul Schille at 5:21 pm  Gear, NAMM
Jan 132012
 

So we’ve had a few people ask us why we don’t have more bass-related articles on here (since Ray is a bass player and all), so I came across something that was pretty interesting and somewhat bass-related. We have a good friend down in Eugene, OR named Chris Ward who plays guitar with Amy Clawson & Coltrane, and he just sent me an interesting audio clip that I thought you all might be interested in. Apparently Alex Aguilar, who is the former president and design engineer at Aguilar Amplification, has started a new company called Eagle Lair Audio, and their  initial focus will be on cutting edge products geared toward guitarists. (See, there’s the bass player angle, although he’s seen the light and come over to the 6-string side!). The first product being launched next week at NAMM is the HALO (Harmonic Amp-Like Overdrive) pedal. The goal of the HALO is to provide a high quality, no compromise effects pedal delivering harmonically rich distortion characteristics that feel, sound and react to picking nuances like the best tube amplifier designs. The result is a pedal that is sonically equivalent (and, in many cases superior) to tube saturation in the best guitar amps,

CrossWire Backstage With: Colt Ford

Ray and I have been fortunate enough to work with a lot of national acts over the last couple of years, and I always try and take a lot of photographs backstage (mainly because I’m old and don’t want to forget all the cool stuff we did!). Some shows I’m more successful than others, but we have met some really interesting and helpful band members and techs and been given access to all kinds of cool things. I thought I would start a new TGM series called “CrossWire Backstage With:” and post backstage pictures from some of these shows for you to enjoy. I thought I’d start with our most recent shows as we did the Northwest leg of the Colt Ford tour. If you’re not familiar with Colt Ford, he wrote Jason Aldean’s #1 hit, Dirt Road Anthem, and is known for creating “Hick Hop,” a blend of hard rockin’ country and hip hop. They were great to hang out with, and his band were really great guys as well. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Bonamassa Snubbed by Grammys Again – Guest Post by Jamie Briggs

 Posted by Paul Schille at 2:34 pm  News
Jan 122012
 

Ray and I are always looking for guest writers here at The Gigging Musician, and we recently received a great article from Jamie Briggs about Joe Bonamassa’s reaction to the latest Grammy Nominations. Like Toby Keith and the CMA’s, and many other deserving folks before, Bonamassa is just the latest in a long line of snubbed artists. Thanks for the article Jamie! Joe Bonamassa isn’t happy with the Grammy Nominations, but do awards matter much? The Joe Bonamassa musical juggernaut has showed no signs of slowing since he was awarded the Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award in the UK’s Classic Rock magazine in 2009, a year in which he was also awarded Best Blues Guitarist by Guitar Player’s Reader’s Choice Awards. With a new album released this year to widespread acclaim, along with a sell out world tour that is also receiving rave reviews, 2011 has been a good year. This is ‘business as usual’ however, for a man who has topped the US Blues chart with astonishing regularity and has the Joe Bonamassa range of guitars to his name. As a child prodigy who was playing Hendrix at the age of seven, this has always been his throne
