Comment on Behind the Scenes: Touring as a Christian Artist/Musician Part 1 by Scotty

Rick is dead wrong. I am a touring musician. I freelance as a sideman for all kinds of projects, including Christian Artists. I’ve been lucky and blessed enough to make a living at it since I was in my early 20’s. No purity loss here… every note I am surely thankful for! Scotty

This is a really great resource…thank you!
I do realize that experimenting is important here, but I’m very open to recommendations for effect placements, looking for the maximum “cleanness” and distinctness for all the effects being used. I have the following:
Barber Tone Press
EH Deluxe Memory Man
Boss DD-20
Pro-Co Rat Distortion
Line 6 DL4
Boss Chorus
Ernie Ball Stereo Volume Pedal

I’m using a stereo output guitar with piezos and magnetics playing with a Blues Deluxe. Love to hear your comments!

im kinda having a problem here.
i have this BC Rich acrylic warlock and i wanna put some LED’s in it to light the whole thing up.
BUT in order to do this it needs a on/off switch replacing the tone knob.
do you know if the tone knob is used alot in rock/metal music, cuz ive never actually used it.

Single-coil pickups are just NOISY, especially when you use an OD pedal. Live, they pick up hum and buzz from the faders on the lights (actually, they’ll do that at home if you’ve got dimmers on your lights or flouros). They pick up ANYTHING – even taxi radios in the area if they’re close enough.

That’s why humbuckers were invented! They cancel out all that stuff. But humbuckers don’t have the treble and bite that single coils do. There are 2 solutions. Get a good quality noise gate (I got a Boss pedal) – but that only stops the noise when you’re not playing, and they can cut off echos or reverb, and sustained notes. Or replace the pickups with active ones, like EMGs. I did that with my Strat, and it was PERFECT. No noise whatsoever. Now that I’m not playing live any more (which I did for about 35 years) I’ve put the original pickups back, because I’d forgotten what they sounded like, and the EMGs were pretty much the same sound. Except for the noise, which has now returned.
