Micing technique like Trey

I saw you had a TB mod on the TS9 - do you find it is harder to stomp? I am considering doing that on one or both of mine and deciding between adding a footswitch or the Jack Deville Click-Less TB mod. Mostly I want it to be easy to turn on and off when I am playing blues and kickin the TS pretty often.

It's pretty easy but takes more effort than stock. Probably easier to hit repeatidly.  I think I'll skip it in the future since its not necessary (TB). No complaints though.

Yea, I notice the buffer when I am not using the TS9's and I don't only play Jam. My Fromel Shape has a good buffer and helps get back to the original tone and volume, but I prefer less circuitry when possible between my guitar and amp.

Just kinda thinking about it for the future - my next upgrades will be better patch cables, TB and possibly 12v on the first TS. This all comes after I recover financially from buying a new guitar.

Instead of modding the TSs additionally, consider getting a basic (2-3 loops) true bypass looper from loopmaster.com  They're pretty cheap and I haven't heard a bad thing about them. Check 'em out! 

I'm considering getting a 3 or 4 loop switcher to have my modulation and time based effects routed through, but keeping the ODs and Wah out of it to get the best of both worlds in that I wont have tons and tons of cables in use all the time and it's cheaper than getting a switcher for my whole board!  8)


edit: http://www.loop-master.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=107  something like that where you could have your two ODs TBed along with your tuner being completely out of the chain unless you need it

Yea, its a good idea, I have thought about it and talked with (what's his name from...) loopmaster. If it is cheaper and I have room on my board, I might consider it, though I prefer not to have extra stuff on my board and I would definitely want it passive as I am maxed on my power supply.

Not worried about my wet effects for now as they go to PA speakers, but if I can bring those along, that could be helpful as well.

Another future project - I really wanted to get a small unit with two send/receive loops to put my TS9's in parallel with a Fuzz (Skreddy Lunar Module). I think that would sound pretty wild. I was gonna hit up loopmaster or T1M on that one.

How's that comp? I've been eyeballing a cmat deluxe comp for a while now. Had an AnalogMan comprosser and never cared for the way it rolled off the high end. Your recordings don't sound like it rolls the highs off much but I know you've done the sparkle mod on your BJr. Thoughts?

I love this comp. Very transparent but you get all of the goodness of that compression performance. I lucked out at $60 on eBay for this old 2 knob. I got Mike Shubin to buy a Cmat and he loves it. Get one. Sell if you don't like but you will like:)

I didn't notice any EQ changes.
