  1. But I might have a little Tin Cup in me
  2. I want them in the final
  3. This is a good point
  4. Oh and we’re fans of Sennheiser e 835 mics. Same $100 price point as the SM58 but the sennheisers have more life to our ears.
  5. Oh it was an instant classic
  6. Makes sense. I figured that might be the case. People ask me all the time if we do originals. And I always say, no, like I’m going to write a better song than Gold Dust Woman.
  7. Yea with 2 of them fucking Georgia home games
  8. One more thing fwiw, I’d be careful with originals in a private party atmosphere, especially if you are being paid. They can be tough on the vibe. Of course there are always exceptions, like my buddies who wrote a blues tune called Sell the Bitch’s Car. It always kills.
  9. On the pedal board for our gigs I just go into a boss QE7 eq then into an LR Baggs Venue DI. For pa we use an EV 30M tower array, which has a mixer on an app that we use with Bluetooth with the ipad. There’s reverb and compression in that app so I use a little of those for the guitar. Couple of other things for whatever it’s worth - my guitars have the LR Baggs Anthem pickups, which are a combo under saddle and mic in the body, you can blend between the two. IMO is the only acoustic pickup out there that starts to sound realistic and not quacky when plugged in. I spent a fair amount of time on this over the last 4 years and that’s the conclusion I came to. The other thing we do is run vocals through TC Helicon Duplicator pedals. But we leave the doubling and pitch correction completely off. Just use a little reverb from that pedal (club setting). But the magic in that pedal is in whatever the little tone button is - compression, de esser I think - but it absolutely brings the vocals to life. We also use a aux out to a QSC 8.2 just to fill up the area better. QSCs are expensive but they sound so much better than all the other powered speakers it’s crazy. If we need to cover a big space I use a QSC 12.2. Sometimes we also use an 8.2 as a floor wedge. Personally I would stay away from Bose at all costs. But lots of people use them so who knows. In that setup there is an awful lot of eq going on - the GE7, the Venue, and in the mixer itself, both channel specific and overall. So if you go that way, or any way really, you’ll want spend a bunch of time dialing in before the gig. And then you’ll likely need to tweak a bit to taste for the first few songs. I’ve found that you need enough bass to sound like too much bass to your ears up close for there to be enough bass for the audience. I’ll get a pic of my settings for you in a bit. For whatever it’s worth, we pretty much get complimented on our sound every gig. It’s not that hard to make it sound good. And in my experience most people who do acoustic gigs don’t sound great. I don’t know if they just can’t hear it, or don’t want to take the time to make it better, or just don’t care. Our system isn’t complicated at all, anyone should be able to figure it out. I still like to do open mics when I can and every single one of those I’ve been to has sounded horrible. Just my $.02 based on a couple hundred acoustic gigs. Acoustic Guitar Forums has a pretty good section on acoustic amplification if you really want to nerd out on this stuff. They are all super high on the Grace Designs Alix preamp. Supposedly it’s the holy grail, but is $800 so I haven’t stepped up to try that out.
  10. If it’s not Texas this year, I really hope some random team no one expects to win wins the whole thing.
  11. You are a fucking moron
  12. Some of y’all recent motherfuckers in this thread need some serious lessons in how to deal with your wimmins
  13. James. 100%
  14. You asked your wife to buy car parts?
  15. Same. I have a 98 am std I wouldn’t trade for anything.
  16. Dang Jameis
  17. When we beat Georgia twice in the next 2-3 weeks, will we still not have played anyone?
  18. Was it really devastating to watch though? Or was it awesome? Because I thought it was awesome.
  19. Reminds me of how Ricky used to abuse Dat Nguyen. For 16 straight quarters.
  20. I dig Palmisano’s reaction videos. Unreal to watch him figure shit out and explain it on the fly.
  21. Yea you gotta have another tv in a different room for watching shit you want to pay attention to.
  22. Has looch or that little dildo that posts the power rankings vomited out their spin yet?
