USE GUITAR PEDALS INLINE OR THE TC ELECTRONIC MIC MECHANIC.  4 REVERB AND 4 ECHOS + SOME AUTO TUNE.  http://www.proaudiostar.com/tc-helicon- … D7EALw_wcB

THIS IS A STEEL!!!! https://www.styknot.com/products/e-tend … con-2-with    DONT DELAY ITS NEVER THIS CHEAP.

Well now, this, IMHO, is a rabbit hole waiting to go everywhere  and as deep as you want to go big_smile

Lets start with vocals. Me personally,. would have a couple voice enhancers. Auto tune is great, but maybe one  if the ones with harmony function.  all kinds of good ones out.  I have a TC Electronics Mic Mechanic 2. then there are the  harmony machines. It just depends on what you want to hear in the speakers. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/search … ects+pedal

Acoustic effects: well there is a great multi unit for that. or maybe pick up at the minimum, compressor / sustainer, EQ (the Danelectro fish and chips is very good and affordable),  then the rest is up to you really.  However, if your amp has a EQ  then you can drop the pedal.  I have my boards set up for both guitars but this is what I run with acoustic.

Berhinger ADI 21 acoustic driver w/ DI >  Compressor/sustainer (old Yamaha stomp) > EQ > Delay (or 2 LOL) >   then add some color.  chorus is a must,  I like flange and phase.  then I run to a older digitech 350. this just gives you easy options for all kinds of stuf lol.  so its up to you.  if you want to go lite, then its top 3 or 4. ( omit  if amp had good eq) EQ , compressor / sustaintainer, chorus and delay.  Or you can do the ADI to chorus and delay.

hope this helps.

Song was Everybody Hurts, not Superman - although both songs are fantastic.

I am sorry for the loss you experienced and the pain that lingers.

Jim

Oh I know what you were talking about, Superman was the song Wess introduced me to,  The other band he turned me on to was THE CALL.  Album LET THE DAY BEGIN.

This is written so nicely and some beautifully written and sad and a warning to each of us to help our friends who might have a problem at the same time.  Reminds me of REM
"When your day is long And the night, the night is yours alone When you're sure you've had enough Of this life, well hang on."

Funny you should mention REM as Wes really loved them and was the one who turned me on to them.  the song was SUPERMAN.

Brothers of Another Mother

Your friendship so deep
A friendships so true
Oh my god,
How did this happen
To you?

Hot tiers run down my numb face
With a time and a distance
out of place

Forever will I remember
Hair Red like a torch,
Sitting with my guitar
On a rail of the cabin porch.
.
You who saw someone on the outside.
In a cast of many, together we did ride.
Together we laughed and together we have cried.

Your friendship so deep
A friendships so true
Oh my god,
How did this happen
To you?

As brothers by blood have disagreed.
So did we.
Some mistaken conversation and we lost touch.

As luck would have it.
And fate decreed
Once again we found each other
As it was meant to be.

My brother, though not by birth,
A bond so tight
There is no measure of worth
Oh brother
Why did you take your life and leave this earth?

Your friendship so deep.
Our friendships so true.
Oh my god,
How did this happen
To you?

It was a rainy weekend here in Seattle.
Finances are a bit tight, and no plans were made for the weekend.

Or so I thought.

Friday night was only eventful in that I fell into a cool riff.  I had a good time with this and took my time setting up the sound. I defiantly enjoyed having many different guitars to choose from.  But in the end, Bettie (My modified Squire Strat) won out seeing as how I was shooting for a Hendrix/Trower vibe.  I think I got there.  Looking up progressions in Autochords (dot com), the chorus section is right out of the 90s Breeders “Cannon Ball” however still slightly modified. (so hey it works! LOLOL). (See it in My local band and me )

Saturday was very much a lazy morning sleep in and chill in front of the bedroom tv. 
In the evening I had to take “SonBeam” to his moms.  On the way home I Detoured to my fav pub, (my new lady friend was with me also) and at the rock joint across the street I heard some Aerosmith jamming out the door.  Well it was a good tribute band, and the headliners were “DR CRUE” a very kick butt Tribute band! So an unplanned evening became a very good evening!

Sunday afternoon was spent trying to find a song Veronica (Ronnie) could sing with me on guitar. We decided on TAKE IT EASY from the eagles.  She had never used a microphone so to speak, I hooked one up to my spare amp, plugged up the TC Electronics vocal box, and had to let her get used to holding the mic so that it picked up her voice, and how to push her voice out to it.  After a few or more practices singing with You-tube on the mic, we started to get the feel of each other. And she started to not grasp the mic like her life depended on it   so that we didn’t beat the horse into the ground, we spent the rest of the day watching the very long EAGLES doc, The long Road.

A last note, as we were getting settled in bed, I was watching a VID ON MY Liquid chorus / delay.  She said, haven’t we had enough music for one day? I just looked at her…. And she answered herself “OH I guess there is no such thing?”

I smiled and said good night babe. LOLOLOLOL 

Bettie = my champagne pink Strat.  and my guitar pick is a DC comics pick of Harley Quinn
recorded on I phone 6S.  Bugera V5 to Bugera 2X12 Danno EQ and tube screamer to RP 350 on the Hendrix patch.
