episode 192: Ep. 192 - I Don't Think It's a Bad Pedal, but it Sounds Bad
- Derek’s Helix band rig with IEMs (stab: 1981 DRV)
- Using the sends and returns as inputs and outputs, I’m able to get click track, backing tracks, and a monitor mix in IEMs.
- This allows to send Helix to the PA and lets the sound guy manage levels for monitoring just like with a floor wedge
- Also can apply any blocks on my monitor feed if I want, like EQ, compression, etc.
- DI box recommendations?
- Gamechanger Audio Bigsby Pedal (Coppersound Tribblegraph)
- Partnered with Fender and Bigsby
- Bigsby vibrato pitch bending pedal with Bigsby hardware on the top.
- Can do the subtle bigsby thing, but the DSP allows for more extreme Whammy style sounds too
- Spring loaded hardware can be pitched down or up by pressing on the either side of the spring.
