Here are some videos that came out this week on our Facebook and YouTube pages. By the way, if you haven't "liked" us on FB, or subscribed to our video feed, you should! Come join the tone party!

Here's Giggity at NAMM featuring a great player from Austin, TX named Carson Brock:

And, here's a sneaky tone hang video shot during a late night gear geeking session:

“Setting 3 is too bright on the Sun Moon switch and 4 is too dark.”

If 3 is too bright, pull back the Air to 9 or 8 o’clock. Or, you could put it in setting 4 (it’s going to have a smoother pick attack), and crank the Air up. Also remember, it still okay to nudge the Treble control on your amp a hair just to finish things off. Giggity has no wrong settings. Have fun!


“Also could the supplied battery be a problem? Does it disengage when connected to a power supply?”

If you’re using an external power supply, the battery will disconnected.


“I really like the pedal and don't want to return it. The sound it can get is exactly what I'm after.”

Refining your tone is an extremely time consuming process. I can tell you from experience that getting 90% of the way there is an accomplishment. It’s the last 10% that I’ve personally spent 20 years chasing. That’s where the work comes in, and for most of us, that’s really the fun part.

All the best,

The all new Pedal Power Digital has 4 high-current completely isolated, filtered, and regulated output sections specifically designed to make digital pedals sound their best.

US Street Price: $129.00!!!!!!!!

Yes. You'll be able to blend just like the original!

Bob,

Sparkle Drive MOD is very close to being done. I don't have an exact date for the first production run, but very soon we hope.

As for tones, SD MOD has 4 selectable voicings and one is the original circuit. If you love the old one, it's still in there.

The street price for the current Sparkle Drive is about $129 (in the US) and we didn't want to go much over that for MOD even though this is really 4 different pedals in one. So, most likely it will only be about 20 bucks more here. If you've ever seen the prices for mods on pedals, and the fact that you lose your original tone, we think it's a steal!

Thanks for your questions,

JS

Is this an existing recording rig that is now going to be controlled via a switching system? Does the feed into Pro Tools need to be before the amplifiers for re-amping or do you want to record the amplifiers as well?

Thank you for your answer!!!

1-. This is a brand new setup.

2-. I'd like to feed PT before the amps.

Thanks in advance!!!

Euterpe,

Your best bet is to post your question in the recording forum of Huge Racks. Mr. Clark has explained that GCX's don't normally deal with routing Pro Tools audio signals in guitar rigs. You theoretically can do that, but you are also bringing in latency issues, and all sorts of line/instrument and XRL input gain issues with your specific Digidesign interface.

This forum specifically deals with what you are experimenting with.

Mr. Clark can suggest a good working signal path that you can either send to a couple of guitar amps, a stereo power amp/cabs, or CH1 and CH2 of any type of recording interface. Anything different than that, give the above link a try.

Thanks to all of you that participate in our forum. We put this together in the hopes that it would help new and old users share tech information and get feedback from us directly. And, it's working!

Now, we've decided to make it even easier to share your rig pics, audio, video and thoughts on our products. Check out our Facebook page and come hang with us. With NAMM coming up, we'll be updating our Facebook page with pics and artist videos as the action happens! Hope to see you all on our page and maybe even at the show in January.

Here are some things you can do to get close to those clips.

Funky Drive: GAIN 11 o'clock, TONE 10 o'clock, CLEAN 1 o'clock
(Use the 2nd or 4th pickup position on a single-coil, Strat-style guitar)

Half Clean: GAIN full up, TONE 9 o'clock, CLEAN 11 o'clock
(Use the neck pickup on a single-coil, Strat-style guitar)

Texan Style: GAIN full up, TONE 9 o'clock, CLEAN off (fully counter-clockwise)
(Use the neck pickup on a single-coil, Strat-style guitar)

You can set the output VOLUME where you like it. Somewhere between 9 and 12 o'clock is probably fine.

Good luck,

JS
