Fret two notes an octave apart and play.really?it almost sounds like a little chorus pedal with distortion, but I'm not sure.It reminds me of earlier Jawbreaker.I liked his tone but felt like it was distortion plus at least one other thing.i'm an idiot when it comes to guitar gear.

The Main outs on my old Tascam board go Brreeeow form time to time. It sounds like a little laser blaster from Star Wars. It sometimes happens often, and sometimes will go months without doing it at all. What is it?

Anyone tried making a continuous time comb filter with cassette tape heads, tape, a steady motor, and a flywheel? Maybe set up a chromatic scale, and put in a low pass to get some analog Karplus-Strong pluck synthesis going on?

I'm just saying that Dean Markley had a line of tube amps as well, and I had one.I had a 100 Watt Dean Markley head. It actually sounded great, and it never broke. Here's my question: One of my heads (the head part of a traynor YGM-4 Guitar mate) has 3 inputs. I find that if I bridge 2 and 3 and plug into 1, I get more gain. Also, I have seen Marshalls and Hiwatts with 4 inputs, and people bridge two of them. What the hell is going on here? How can an two inputs hooked together get more gain?

It's probably something really simpleI know there is a video for the song, but I just can't find it.This might help.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWg\_4r-coQ4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C26BI1kJdkk

yes, Hiwatt, Marshall, many Traynor, Fender etc have two channels and you can run through both of them which hits the power amp with more signal and so it's louder.the YGM-4 is a single-channel amp, so bridging the inputs should have no effect. All three of those input jacks are wired together, so you're basically just adding a wire to your amp that connects the input to itself. It shouldn't make any actual difference.

Anyone know if JMF/Dean Markley Spectra heads actually exist? I see combos but no heads or cabs.
