"Extra guitars"?!

There are no "extra guitars"; each is a vital componenet of my guitar arsenal!!!

Glad you were able to get your JB sorted Steve. I just have a simple Ibanez Soundtank compressor, which seems to work for me nicely. I think they all hiss a bit; it's all a matter of dialing them in to minimize the noise.

So, Rich:

Which one of your 12 strings are you going to give me?

Sorry Steve -- I'm holding on to them.... they are all "vital components" of my guitar aresenal !!!

Not too many of us are going to be able to assist you with coping with R.A.S. except to give you more encouragement on the only known cure....

Steve --- what is the final chapter in the story of fine-tuning that over-zealous Janglebox of yours when its plugged into the natural compression/chime output of your Vox AC15 ??

Have you gotten good advice from the Janglebox people ?

Regards

Hi Rich,

I am not using the JB with the Heritage amp. I run it through my Deluxe Reverb with a Tone Tubby speaker and it works well with that amp.

Interesting thing is I was playing last week through the JB and I heard a little "pop" type nosie and the JB became much more manageable. Seems I can dial it up a bit and not get blown out of the room. Whatever gremlin was in there must have left.

I am shooting to make it for the Jan '10 confluence and I think I'll bring both rigs if I come. I am waiting for a Morpheus drop-tune pedal to arrive and see how that works in the circuit.

So you want to sell your 660/12 ?

Glad your Janglebox is working satisfactory now. See you at the Graham-Jam Post-NAMM Mini Con

Well, I have now had a chance to compare the JangleBox versus the Diamond Compressor.

The JangleBox has more of a treble boost built into it than the Diamond (even in the normal versus bright setting), but the Diamond has a variable circuit for adjusting eq which seems more versatile than the 3 position switch on the JangleBox. Still it does not match the treble boost in the JB.

I think they are both excellent, depending on what you need. I think if you really want that Byrd's chime, it is easier to get on the JB.

I think the Diamond is a little quieter than the JB, and it is easier to work with the Vox amp.

My 2 cents.
