  • Well...like the heading says...
    These are the hacks I've been using during my 20 + years as a professional recording & touring musician. Some of them might be a bit goofy but hey, they work :-)
    This is Part 1 and there's more coming up so stay tuned ;-)
    The original footage of the EV intro clip was shot by Dennis Henson and KJ Melgoza. Thanks guys!
    The song on the clip is 'Feed The Fire' from my solo album 'Easy Does It': spoti.fi/2S3owRZ

    have you ever tried the aluminum inside the electronics as well for noises reduction?
    will that affect the performance, do you think it is better to just use a noise gate, since i noticed that you use the decimator now.

    • @EugeValovirta230V
      @EugeValovirta230V  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. The only source of noise is pretty much the SD-1 so I place the Decimator after that just enough so that it reduces the hiss but doesn’t really gate anything 👌. I play a lot with guitar’s volume so gated sound doesn’t work for me at all.

    Mitä meinaat tuolla "put your strings at wrong way?" Eli sulla on kiinteä talla koska ei ole kampea. Miten laitat kielet väärinpäin? Ja mistä?? Eli kun pujotat kielen virityskoneistosta tallan suuntaan, niin miten ja mihin ja mitä kautta sen pujotat? Itselläni on Esp Eclipce kitara ja kovasti nyt tätä asiaa kummastelen...

    • @EugeValovirta230V
      @EugeValovirta230V  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Normaali tapa on pujottaa kielet Lepukan tallan takana olevan "pidikkeen / peräpalan"" läpi takaapäin eli kitaran perästä päin, mutta mä laitan ne tallamikin puolelta ja sitten kierrän sen "peräpalan" yli ja siitä tallaan, joten kielten kulma on loivempi ja ranne lepää mukavasti siinä kielten päällä. Tällä tavalla saa myös sen peräpalan duunattua bodyyn kiinni (snadisti enemmän sustainia) ilman, että kielten kulmasta tulee kovin jyrkkää, koska jos kulma liian jyrkkä, niin mulla ainakin kielet tuppaa katkeamaan aika helposti :-)
