Can someone explain what you use the Tube Screamer for?? He says is good for metal tone ,so how do you use it? Thanks!

[brownhog72]

@grufiog A tube screamer is an overdrive pedal. You play it in front of your amp when the amp is saturated (or on distortion) to compress or sharpen the tone of your amp.

Hi dude......can the ground control/GCX set up be used to make presets for switching amp heads and head combinations. like adding a 2nd head to an existing head to boost with??then ..also can u change channels on any amp?..i see the mesa has external channel switching inputs on the head...what if u dont have these?

cheers

[brownhog72]

Yes it sure can. If you don't have those, you can use the footswitch jack. If you have midi you can use that.

Hey man which brand is the pedal drawer/where site did you order it from?

[brownhog72]

Love this video and appreciate all the good info. Question though, as I'm about to build one of these rigs for the first time. I'm curious how when you're using the wireless are you actually running cable to your Wah? I'm trying to keep the cable runs to a minimum, and I'd appreciate any guidance you might have. My needs are pretty simplistic as well. Thanks much!

I know this is weird but your voice sounds like mine did for 5 years I had a throat tumor it was not cancer but it made my voice sound like that. You may not hear it I didnt until after I had surgery and I heard old recordings of my self MAYBE you dont have a tumor but if you can hear old recordings and you now sound like your nose is stopped up then go get a scan dude on your throat.

got a little quiestion here...can i also use a vodoo lab commander in front of the GCX? cause i already got one and i want move on to a gcx but i dont want to use that monstrous ground control thing...

[elchalewa]

Distortion I meant...

[elchalewa]

And also you run the distance and the tube screamer through the front input??? Than D.

[elchalewa]

How would you rate this compared to a bradshaw switching system???
