Topic: General Ramblings

Friday night, got home from work, about 11:00, youngest son was still up,  tried to watch something with him, but was blinking out.  to bed around probably 12:30 or so. Woke up at 5 AM, and had a nice morning reading, and chilling with my wife. So whats this to do with anything? Nothing  LOLOL just felt like putting a blog type post up, YET in so doing we made a few steps further to making the house a home.  Primary Objective - Get the blinds  my wife had made  (etsy in canada,  i think), and have been siting in the middle of the floor for 3 months,  up in the man cave.  At first I was not sure it was a good fit, nor did I like the area rug that is down here, but after we got everything up, and cleaned up, Well  even though we still have some stuff to do, IT LOOKS WAY BETTER!.  Even the rug is grown on me LOL.

On a musical note, I hooked up my Mic to a little amp and ran it through my tow stomp pedals (compressor and digital delay). it really sounds good, nice balance between the delay sounding too delayed, and sorta fakes a reverb smile.  So I have started practicing my vocals for the Song of the month.

Ok well just wanted to ramble LOL

Re: General Ramblings

Topdown and I heard a guy playing on a winery porch who had his vocals through a chorus effect rigged to a stomp box.  He made very good use of it, too!  He brought in the "harmonizing" at just the right times to emphasize his performance.  I've been wanting to rig up something like that, but I haven't had my PA out of the box in more than a year it's been so busy.

Re: General Ramblings

Yep. Stomp boxes can produce some  great vocal effect.  After all, it's the same stuff in a PA.

Re: General Ramblings

I was going to add my woes here but I'd better start a new thread. Stomp boxes are great on mike's if you're using 1/4 inch jacks, I've got cannon connectors so that's out for me. Glad you're happy though.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
