Man, im still suprised to hear people say they dont like the sound of new strings. I cant imagine how someone could like old strings better than new ones, unless you are playing a style/song that calls for very dull/dark tone. I feel that new strings give so much more clarity, response and sustain! Oh well, we are all different. (btw - elixers = )

I really dont think they kill the harmonics at all. 250K pots just warm up the sound a little b/c they reduce some high frequencies a little, but it wont cut off the harmonics. They might not scream as wildly though.

Oh I tried that yeah... I had plugged it (guitar) into the amp and then the rest through the loop jacks.... believe me ive tried everything I can think of. The online manual said to actually plug the instrument into the midiverb... so I tried that with the same results ive been getting. Does anyone else have this unit? I mean.. its really pissing me off! I have a huge 24 channel peavey mixer coming to me soon, so maybe when that gets here Ill try to hook it up through that.

Thanks lovekraft.. That link was to a midiverb 4 manual, but I had already looked at the midiverb 2 manual online and I did what it said to no avail. I'm plugging my guitar into the L input jack, and plugging the amp into the unit's L output jack. Nothing happens but some buzz and VERY little dry sound through the amp. Then I tried it in all possible combinations through the effects loop and nothing worked. Im beginning to think its broken, since it is pretty old.. I might take it to a music shop and see if they can get it working.

Well crap... I tried all the different combinations of the inputs and all I get is ALOT of buzzing and almost negligible sound. It might just be a bad unit.. So I dunno whats going on. Oh well, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ill try that... But I didnt get the manual for it... I was just given the bare unit with nothing else. Thanks again. Also, there are L and R in's and L and R outs... but just 2 jacks for the effects loop obviously... so does it matter if I just do L in and L out? Or is what I am saying incomprehensible!?!?!?!

I was given an alesis midiverb 2 and I have no clue how to connect it to my amp.... I tried plugging a cable into the defeat jack in the back of the unit and then connecting that to my preamp out jack of my amp... nothing happened. Then tried it through the effects loop w/no luck.. Please help!! What am I missing? There are L and R input and output jacks and also midi jacks too.. so what do I to?? I really need a quick response, b/c the music shop near me closes soon and I wanna get there tonight if I can to pick up what I need. Thanks. Edit: the title should say not sure "how" to set it up....

E FLAT SUPER SHARP DOUBLE WHOPPER JR. MIXOLOCRIAN!

I have a peavey supreme head and it is great. Their transtube technology is really good stuff.

I have a zoom 707 and its been working great for me... Ive had it for about4 years now (or so..) and ive gotten some great sounds out of it... not top quality, but darn good for what its worth. The 707 offers alot of control over whatever you are doing, and its very easy to mess around with once you learn it all. Im definitely upgrading soon though... I was thinking maybe a digitech gnx2 or maybe a v-amp2/pro.... there are so many out there i really need to look around and test them all out.

Its in the neck and im guesstimating that its about 2/3 inch from the strings... i really like it now.

Nope, I'm in the northern outskirts of Atlanta, Ga. Thanks anyway!

That is incredible... talk about originality! Man I'd sell my.... dog... for that thing! Really though, I cant imagine how much fun it would be to make something that neat.

Its an RG 320 dx... so im pretty sure it has one of the infamous crap floyds... But I do have to say that overall I am VERY pleased with the guitar... it plays super smooth and with the new pickup it just sounds great.. Its been working well for me up until these problems... but Im gonna take it to this shop I know of and have the guy just set it all up from scratch and have a good look at it. (On a side note, apparently this guy Ted that owns this shop I speak of went to school with John Pretrucci and knew him a little bit.) Im tired of messing with it. Although, working on it so much these past few days has really helped me understand how it works and how to set it up, which is pretty cool. Thanks for all your input, Wes.

wait, you have to loosen the strings before you can adjust the action from the bridge????? Thats a pain in the butt.... Ive never had any of this problem before.. and ive changed the strings quite a few times. I dont know why the intonation went out of whack... its still not right.. I think im gonna take it to a shop to have the saddles checked out..
