I think it would be cool to be able to split a pickup so that some strings run through one signal chain and the other strings run through another signal chain. For example, maybe I want to run my low E and A strings through a bitcrusher but I want the rest of the strings to stay clean.
Does something like this exist? If not, how do you think you would go about doing it?
Yeah there’s a pick-up that can do that. Damned if I can remember the name. It fits on to nearly any guitar too with no modding. Will see if I can find it
I realized I got a little carried away with new pedals this past month. Everything here except the tuner are new to the setup.
It all started with Dream 65, which made my SD-1W sound better than I ever got it to sound with my Iridium. Suddenly I wanted a more transparent overdrive to pair with the SD-1, and went back to the Blues Driver (owned many years ago) after hearing how great it sounds with the gain fully cranked.
I played around with higher gain settings in a way I’ve never leaned towards in the past, and then I started considering a Big Muff or the HM-2W. Got the Big Muff first and enjoyed it so much I had to get the HM-2W as well. They both sound so good in very different ways.
Also got the RV-6 back in the mix after selling one last year when I got the Golden Reverberator. RV-6 just does what I want for a guitar reverb, especially since I’ve been preferring to run it pre-dirt lately. GR is just overkill for that, and sounds way too nice to be put through that treatment.
Anyway, distortion is fun. I’m glad to have finally moved past the realm of clean to crunch I’ve stayed in during most of my years with guitar. The last pedal I’ve been interested in is a Fat Rat, but I should wait a while before adding anything else. My Turbo Rat will have to do until then
Yeah supposedly the buffer is improved over the TU-3, which apparently wasn’t as good as what’s in the TU-2? I still have my TU-2 and can’t remember why I went for a TU-3W when I got one some years ago. I think I also wanted the better accuracy and speed and probably just liked the color.
I like it, and the blue LEDs really came in handy the one time I gigged outdoors with it. Should last me decades so the extra money was well worth it to me. I’d still suggest a used TU-2 any day though if you want to spend less.
