thanks maritime. so in short, a compressor will smooth out the sound and create some nice sustain while eliminating any harshness caused by more aggressive picking techniques making a more useable sound. is this correct? but why use multiple compressors? why not just use 1 at the end of my effects?
also, i have been moving around how i input my effects. sometimes i use the amps effects loop and sometimes not. i can only notice some slight change in sound. the loop just seems to make it easier to manage. still have the same amount of cables, so line loss is the same, in fact you are adding 2 extra cables. any of you have any thoughts on this?

C"MON AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maritime and blue moon, thanks for the answers to a device i have never used. looks like i may need to start looking into this more and checking them out. any input on stompbox type over rack type? obviously expense is a limitation but up to and under $500. usd is ok. i will be checking out the torrent download link for certain.

tikimon:Depends on the player as y know.I use 4 comps at various stages in the fxs chain albeit subtle, gives the effect i want & cant get from one alone.Comp b4 & after Ov/Dist creates a great effect, its all personal pref, good t see talk about this on the forum
without comp it just aint funky Satchalous
The Keeley is good but that attack knob is missin that the CS3 has that makes ALL the difference having an ADSR "attack decay sustain release" with only 2 controls makes no sense t me....would make slan awfae sad

Coolies, Joe's in widescreen too!
I'm trying to think of cd's and dvd's to ask Santa for Christmas. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is Dream Theaters Chaos In Motion dvd. I know there's way more than that I'd like to have, but my little brain is on overload at the moment.
HEY JOE, what's on yer Christmas List?

Slans--I like your funky Satchulous attitude!! ;-P
Life sure takes us in some strange directions. The early 1980s were no picnic for me either, Joe. But we live and learn, don't we.

Hey Joe,
Where are you goin with that axe in your hand?
I would say you are out to conquer the world if not the galaxy!!!!
Thanks for the parts in your interview about your relationship with your sisters. You landed in the middle of doting sisters and a brother---what more could a kid want while growing up?
My older sister thought our parents had me just for HER!!! That's the way my sister was at 4-years-old when I landed in the family! Eleven years later my younger sister was born and I was in a sammish of girls!! I had to go out and unofficially adopt brothers. And that's another story!

Oh don't go to bed you lot! Just finished work so a bit of play time.
Hey Joe - I notice you've added the Jagger clip I posted about to your Favourites - you sure looked like you enjoyed that tour and the gig at the Corner Hotel looked like it rocked - great vest!.
Really enjoyed the Youtube live event too - had no idea why the Funtwo kid was with you but it made sense after I looked him up (someone here posted the wiki link).
Hope you enjoy a good rest, more time with the family and get the creative juices going again - either for Chickenfoot or your next great effort.

Happy early Thanksgiving, everyone... Tune into 95.5 KLOS at noon Pacific time (the same time zone as the T2J clock...about 12 hours and 10 minutes from now) to hear Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. Here's a link:
http://www.955klos.com/
There's a link to listen live at the top right of that page. It's a Thanksgiving tradition, so...listen!
Cappy Steve - I'm not sure how serious your question was, but in my mind the answer is obvious. There are certain things you just don't do, and walking up to a security guard with a sword in each hand (regardless of your intentions) is one of them.
I feel the same way about most "police brutality" cases, or the incidents you hear about every now and then where people get shocked repeatedly by tasers. Don't talk back to cops, period. Even if you're confident you aren't breaking the law...it's not smart, and, to be honest, it isn't polite.
Igneousiceman - Michael Lee played on Fate Of Nations, the album 29 Palms is on, but I'm not sure if he played on that actual track. I'd have to dig through the liner notes to know for sure...
I still haven't see an obituary on him move on the AP wire...argh.
michelle - Make sure you get the expanded edition of Chaos In Motion (3 CDs and 2 DVDs).
Two other recent releases:
- Rush - Snakes & Arrows DVD (this just came out yesterday)
- U2 - Under A Blood Red Sky CD/DVD
Listening to: The Black Crowes - By Your Side (current song: Then She Said My Name)
...Austin...

Doo the Stoo - Well actually my comment was a little tongue in cheek as I don't know the details of the incident but I am really fed up with all the killing going on in the world. You are of course entitled to your views about talking back to cops being rude but I would say it depends upon the situation. Cops are not divine beings, they are not above the law themselves and the average cop is not particularly intelligent (and i'm not saying they're stupid either). Respect them and the job they do, absolutely, but they are still only human and make mistakes. I'd better stop now, this is turning into a rant and that was not my intention.
Peace.

A very early good morning Satchland...and happy turkey day !
Growing up with police in the family, my dad back in the mid to late 60's, my uncle who retired as a detective after 40 years, and my brother in law who is still a cop, I know one thing is very certain. Every one of them, whether they are smart or not so, expect to be respected. That's the bottom line. And I know all too well from personal experience that "lipping off" to any of them is futile. Whether they are on a power trip or not, it is best to be humble.
And I agree with you Cappy. Quite a few of them should NOT be in uniform. They lack the patience and abuse their power. When I first moved to Minnesota I had a sheriff's deputy that used to harass me at least once a week. He would pull me over all the time for no apparent reason looking for any little thing to write me up for. After he retired I had a little chat with him and basically told him off. There was nothing he could do about it, it was great. Enough about cops...
Have a good day everyone.....be good and drive safe..

SupersatchuratedDave - Over the years i've had dealings with the cops for a variety of different reasons. We have cops in the extended family, both uniform and plain clothes, I also have friends who are cops, one of which is an armed cop at Heathrow. Cops in my neck of the woods appear to be a little different to the ones I have dealt with in the States, we can speak with them more readily. An incident with an American cop a few years ago left me with a wry smile. One of my staff became involved in a fracas, I intervened and was settling down the situation when two of Portland's finest arrived, I tried to explain the situation and was treated with sneering contempt and told not to speak unless asked a question. After a while where they got several different accounts as to why things had kicked off they got back to me and asked who I was, before I got a chance to speak my staff member introduced me as Captain xxxxxx, their attitude changed immediately to one almost of deference. Things were then resolved very quickly and amicably. Amazing. Nevertheless, big respect to cops, they have a tough job to do and I think the majority do it as well as they can.

Cappy...yes they do have a tough job. And it can be a very stressful occupation. After all they're not robots...they're just people.

Speaking of robots, as we were walking around the wharf in San Fran....a guy had painted himself metallic silver and all his clothes, top to bottom were also silver. He stood on a bucket or pedestal of some sort and moved as though he was a robot. Spoke in this crazy high, electronic-sounding voice, dunno how he did that, but you had to do at least a double-take to make sure he was human and NOT a robot. It was the funniest and freakiest thing...interesting way to make a living, lol.....
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope you are all blessed in some way.
You especially Joe....we love ya.

roo: Sorry, the Guitar I was telling you about isn't the one with the chrome 3D surfer. It's just painted on, but I still want it.... 24K on guitars this year! and you probably didn't get much change. I hope you at least got service with a smile...
Skippygirl: My wife's nearly left the 40's behind, and seen Joe four times and met him once. She doesn't play guitar 'as such' but Joe is the one reason she will allow me to get into debt. If it's anything Joe, I can normally swindle a purchase out of her.
fatape: Nice wording on the EX'S, that could have got messy....lol I'm still waiting on my satchurator to turn up, it can't be much longer now.....
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
