I changed it a font size up and now it's half a page longer. All good. My Romeo and Juliet was 2 pages long :/

I'm going to be buying a wah pedal off of a musician friend here at uni soon.

[url=http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Guitar/Effects?sku=151000]This one, to be specific[/url].

He's also giving me the power supply :-D

It looks like a reasonable pedal... any thoughts/concerns to those of you who play with a wah pedal (Cain, kurrupt, etc.)? Thanks, guys.

That looks nice, but does it sound good. Ask him to try it out before you buy it.

Its from Dunlop, so Im sure it sounds good.

Haha, one of my first courseworks was also one of the first things I typed up so I set the font to either 8/10 I can't remember. Either way about 700-800 words took up about half a page :lol: Still, it was awarded A and my teacher asked me to use a larger font in future so no trouble there. My courseworks remain shorter then most peoples to this day though, but I still get a good mark so it's all good.

I'm lucky, my essays all tend to be both long and pedantic. It's not really intentional, just once I get going I find it hard to stop.

PLEASE spend the little extra for the 535Q. I happen to own one, and i stand by it 100%

I know he's taken good care of it, because he was serious about playing music, even outside of a hobby. But unfortunately, he has a girlfriend, and he is getting to the point where he's giving her a big surprise this weekend and doesn't have enough money to do it, so he's slowly selling some of his guitar stuff (I was going to buy his 12-string acoustic last year, but balked because I'm a dumbass).

However, he's still recording and things, because he got a Powerbook and a bunch of other doohickies which cost him quite a bit of dough, heh. But yeah, I trust him. I'm not paying a lot for it to begin with, so getting the power supply is kind of like a bonus for free.

i havent replaced the battery in mine for AGES

Yeah, I don't follow most of the guidelines and I still get high Bs. It's weird, I feel my coursework could be improved so much but don't know how to do it yet my teachers feel there's not much I should do.

when it comes to essays, I spit mad fire. I'm pretty brief about it.

and speaking of staying in shape I'm about to go workout in like 5-10 minutes. I can run two miles in like 15, 15 and a half minutes or so.

np: John Legend - Ordinary People

i think teachers place way too much emphasis on LENGTH.



Some people can say things concisely. Others just like to hear themselves talk.

Ever hear Kelsey Grammar talk :lol:?

I have that exact wah pedal and it is garbage. Do not buy it Jom.

Get a vox or a morley. You have a very limited wah range on that pedal and it does not have the fasel inductor like it's more expensive counterparts.


I think that all that matters in an essay is the main point of what you are trying to say. It doesn't really matter how long it is. I think that teachers have a rule for it to be a certain length so (say for instance you're doing an essay on shakespeare) you don't say something retarded like "bill's a cool guy and I like him" over and over. I'm not defending the fact that they want you to write until your arm falls off, but they just want you to think about it a little. (I'm trying to become a teacher so bare with me a bit.)

Me too. After 15 minutes I drop dead after having done 10% of the two miles. =)

I only run fast if I'm chasing after a macho combo burrito from Dell Taco. Mmmmmm burrito. Then after 100 ft. I give up.

I've got to get in better shape. A month ago I weighed 305 and now I'm at 275 so I'm kicking @$$ already.

Wow, I haven't shown up in here in a long time.
I just got back from the doctor because I've had a sudden change in sleeping habits.
I've got depression, she says. Blood work will be done tomorrow to make sure I don't have mono or some blood disease.
I like running well enough. I just don't like doing it in an insane amount of excess. Yesterday I ran an orienteering (cross country, basically) course...roughly 3 miles long then was forced to run another mile without a break.
It got old.

I just listen to a lot of music. Usually there are about 20 artists or so who fell under the top 10.

Actually I think my iTunes isn't working properly. I have definately played this Sonata Arctica stuff more than 10 times and it's not on my top 25. Last.fm don't work for me either.

NP- Sonata Arctica - Wildfire.

Yeah it doesnt track every play sometimes, it's random. Still, I like it. Mine says I listen to around 170 unique artists a week, which I guess explains why the top artists only have around 9 or so plays a week.

Yeah, same here. But I love Sonata Arctica at the moment, as you may be able to tell.

Hey, I've been hearing some good stuff about these guys. R U interested in uploading some samples?

As always email is [email]lightningmetal666@yahoo.com[/email]

Okay guys, new stomp box question.

Um, how, exactly, do I hook it up between the amplifier and the guitar? I thought it was amp -> stompbox -> instrument, but there's no input for it other than the AC adapter. Oh, except for the metal things, but there's no way my cable will run through the stompbox. Do I need even more cables?

Help?

You should have two cables. One to go from the amp to the box and one running from the box to the instrument.

Man, I really can't envision the jack fitting into the holes here. It probably doesn't help that I don't have my gear here with me to visualize it, but do I need a specific cable size for this thing, or what?

But at least I now know I need a second cable. Crap.

I don't think so. I don't know if stomp boxes are all built the same or if some differ, but mine takes two standard size instrument cables.

Well, thanks for the help. I'll just have to talk to him about it. It just seems like the holes will be large enough, but I need a second cable is all. That makes more sense... so, thanks again.

Im gonna write an article on a rock band in the school newspaper. Any ideas on atleast a semi mainstream rock band?

Yeah that's one thing you are gonna need. Being's that I have that exact wah pedal, I can help you. On the left should be the output that goes to the amplifier, on the right should be the instrument input. Notice on the griptape it tells you which jack goes where. If I'm wrong I apologize.

Also fyi, if you want to get a distortion pedal in the future for your amp (don't know what kind of amp you've got or how much gain you like) here is the best way to go for a good signal when you're hooking up your wah as well.

Thanks man, you were a lot of help! The set-up also helps a ton, heh :)

He was also selling a distortion pedal... it had some funky name like Grilled Cheese or something and was bright yellow for $20, but the site was giving it poor scores, so I opted out.
