Digitech Hardwire SC-2 Valve Distortion Pedal

Digital piano is a current electronic musical instrument especially designed to serve primarily as an alternative to the traditional piano, in both the way it feels to play and in the sound it produced. Some digital pianos are as well shaped to look like an acoustic piano. As digital pianos have many advantages over normal pianos.

In most of the implementations, a digital piano offers a different variety of piano timbres and normally some other sound as well. For instance, a digital piano might have settings for a performance grand piano, an upright piano, a tack piano, and different electric pianos like the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer. Some digital pianos as well incorporate other basics “synthesizer” sounds like string ensemble, and provide settings to combine them with piano.

The sounds offered by a digital piano are at times PCM samples available in ROM. Despite the fact that a digital piano plays models, it is not a sampler because it needs the capability to record samples. It does, however, be eligible as a romper. Other, more superior brands (like Yamaha & Kawai) use other sound sampling systems like AWM (advanced sign memory) or Harmonic Imaging.

The samples stored in digital pianos are generally of extremely high quality and shaped by using world-class pianos, costly microphones, and other high quality preamps in an experts recording studio.

Digital pianos do have restrictions on the authenticity with that they replicate the sound of any acoustic piano. These as well comprise of the lack of implementation of harmonic tones, which result when some mixtures of notes are sounded, restricted to polyphony, and a lack of innate reverberation when the piano is actually played percussively. They as well lack the secondary acoustic noises related with piano playing, like the sounds of pedals being low and the related machinery broken up within the piano that some in fact consider a benefit. These limitations relate to most acoustic piano instruments and their sampled foils, the difference normally being described as “visceral”.

For the wide majority of listeners, however, expert recordings made with a digital piano are hard or not possible to differentiate from a recording shaped with a original piano. Many digital pianos comprise an amplifier and loudspeakers so that no extra equipment is necessary to play the instrument. Most digital pianos include headphone output.

I made this video to show the Digitech Hendrix pedal, plugged in my Blues Junior. I used my Stratocaster Fender american vintage 62. I used a backtracks (from the website i put the urls in my profile) I used the Preset Voodoo Child on this one. (Clean sound with wha wha – overdrive sound wiht Fuzz – then overdrive sound + Fuzz + wha) All is made with the digitech. No other pedals. To had a better sound, i had to put equalisation on the Blues on 1 (middle trebble and Bass). sorry my playing is not very good on this one, it’s only to hear the “tone” of the pedal. and no, it’s not a blues… Maybe i’ll do more video with the other preset (Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Woodstock, Machine gun, little wing etc…)

People are constantly looking for amplifiers that will provide them with a better way of listening to the music that they love hearing.

The 2 channel power amplifiers generally have a 2 x 100w continuous amplification; unique ultra low feedback design which delivers superb overall sound and a capacitor-free signal path that gives an accurate and fast bass.

The 2 channel power amplifiers are also controlled by remote. It is standby in terms of operation and always maintains the voltage rails which instantly warms up the system.

The balanced and unbalanced inputs are also included in the system but have the bridge mode that regulate the frequency levels and sound efficiency.

Nowadays, the 2 channel power amplifiers have a line of high performance digital and analogue consumer audio components that attract more and more investors. It is specifically designed to be free standing or rack mounted.

Itmay be the cheapest of all the amplifiers that are sold in the market today but they still meet the expectations of the customers nonetheless. There are products which include the broadcast-quality, wide bandwidth video components, as well as the video capabilities.

Another appeal of the 2 channel power amplifiers is that these are easy to use. Those who are not techie can still understand how to operate the system.

There are many ways to buy 2 channel power amplifiers either in your local electronics stores or online. If you are cash strapped for cash, I would highly recommend buying them online.

Canon digital cameras have been upfront in their designs, user friendly menus and innovative technology. Be it a simple point and shoot digital camera or a high end digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex), Canon’s expertise has justified every need and pocket. They are constantly on the lookout for path breaking advancements that serve your imaging needs.

Canon has well above 1000 patented digital technologies and is seeking extended innovation each year. Most of the Canon digital cameras have a 9- point AiAF, i.e. providing true auto-focus. The screen is divided into 9 parts and the focus is captured with finesse. This is unique from the traditional 5- point auto-focusing methodology. Canon also developed the popular multi face detection technology that enables to detect up to 9 faces in its lower end digital cameras and up to 35 faces in its higher end cameras. This feature is also extended to its video shooting function. The video capturing mode has this feature extended by incorporating ‘face select and tracking’ which enables you to track a face among a crowd.

Canon’s digital SLR’s sports the ground breaking ESO technology. This technology has an integrated cleaning system which functions to remove the dust particles on the lens and on the image. It has inbuilt hardware to shake off the dust particles from the lens and software to remove the sticky dust grains from the image. Thus it aims at providing the best possible image by removing all faults. They have also initiated the anti-noise processing which takes care that no dots or white lines are formed in the image unlike other cameras which remove the noise after the image is taken which might result in distortion of the image.

Some of the highly rated canon digital camera include PowerShot, IXUS and EOS. The PowerShot is aimed at the simple point and shoot user, the price is affordable and it features cameras below 10 mega pixels available in varied colour options and designs. The IXUS series is the mid-range digital camera offering that are more advanced and bit pricey. The ESO series offers digital SLR’s that are meant for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts. These SLR’s are available with different range lenses. Canon has roped in Sachin Tendulkar as their brand ambassador for marketing of their popular product line. Canon has emerged as a pioneer in its design, technology, and usability thus becoming a name synonymous to photography.

Boss Compression Sustainer CS-3 Effects Pedal

Gears Review — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:20:33 +0000

Playing or practicing the guitar alone can be a frustrating thing for guitarists. Unless you are just into chords, playing lead guitar really requires some kind of backing going on so you can understand the timing as well as hearing how the lead will eventually sound.

This creates a problem as it can be often difficult to find people willing to just play backings over and over for you to play to. It’s also difficult to find specific backing tracks to suit your needs.

I have been in this situation for years. Sometimes I have a good idea and think, I wish someone cold play this backing so I can jam over the top of it. Sometimes (though rarely) I am fortunate enough to have someone there that is prepared to do this. Sometimes I have the motivation to plug into to my recording devices and repeatedly record the backing then jam over it – though this does require a bit of effort which by the time I have set it all up, the inspiration has gone.

Recently I decided I would check out the Boss RC-20XL pedal. The idea behind this is that you play a loop, phrase or even whole song and the pedal will then loop it in perfect time for you.

This sounded great to me so I decided to buy one. The RC-20XL was quite expensive – £180 here in the UK although whilst I was in the states recently I did see it for $259 (why do you Americans always get things so cheap?) but never the less I decided it could well be worth it.

Often with these types of pedals there are too many functions and buttons to ever learn how to use it properly but in this instance it was very easy. Simply tap the right pedal to set the tempo required, left button to begin recording and left button to stop. Immediately the loop you have just created starts playing.

Being that I use the amps overdrive, I had to consider the placement of the pedal before plugging it in. Else there would be no possibility of having a clean sound as the backing with overdriven lead over the top. I added it in the final position of my effects loop. This does the job great but it should be a consideration for anyone who uses their amp for their overdriven sound but does not have an effects loop.

Now since getting this up and running I have been having some amazing jams with myself. You can be the poorest rhythm player in the world, but get that loop right once, its played perfectly for as long as you need.

I laid down 2 chords, picked gently, one to the other – once. This cycled and before I knew it I had been playing guitar over the top of this for about an hour. Over two chords! It really is amazing what you can teach yourself by having the opportunity to jam in this way.

If you want more information on the Boss RX-20XL then do what I did and check out youtube – there are videos on here that really illustrate the power of creating loops in both a practice environment but also a live situation.

Used steinway pianos?

Terms

There are many criteria that are involved in any purchase of a piano, particularly a Steinway grand piano, and for each individual some criteria will be take priority. Below are some of the most important criteria that need to be evaluated. This article will guide you to select a Steinway Grand Piano or a used piano.

American Steinway Grand Piano

The first criteria are the size of the room that the piano is going to go into. If the room isn’t large enough for the piano plus at least three times the size of the piano for a small audience, then the piano might be too large for this room. One exception to this would be for a practice room. In this case, a grand piano is still the better choice, if possible because the action and sound of the piano is different than in an upright piano, and gives the player a much more realistic feel for when the pianist plays on most other pianos outside of that room. The Steinway grand pianos range in size from as small as 5′ 1″ to the concert grand at just short of 9 feet, so there should be no problem finding the best size piano.

- The second criteria, often overlooked, are the color and finish of the piano. Of course for concert venues, ebony black is the piano color of choice, but many pianos in homes look better with other types of woods and finishes. For the wood types other than black ebony, there is a huge range: mahogany (figured, flamed, fiddle-back and simple-grained), walnut (burled, circassion, American and French), cherry, oak, and ivory (white, cream, gold-leaf), and rosewood (Brazilian and Indonesian). The finish of these Steinway grand pianos range from satin to satin luster, glossy to high polish. The glossy finish tends to be more “showy” and therefore more appropriate for certain types of rooms. Choosing the correct finish for the room can greatly add to the décor.

Steinway Grand Piano

The third criteria are the style of the piano you desire. Most people are used to only thinking of a traditional black ebony piano, and never stop to look at all of the variety of pianos available. Steinway pianos have a huge range of styles over the years other than traditional, including Rococo, Victorian, Louis XV, Queen Anne, and of course, many custom designs. The pianos range from the very old (around 1857) to the present day. Most of these “styled” pianos are sought after by artists as well as collectors so they are quite valuable.

Steinway pianos have a huge range of styles

The fourth criteria are the age of the piano you need. Most people do not consider the older pianos, greatly overlooking the value, savings and more importantly, the sound and feel of these older Steinway pianos. First, the new pianos are quite expensive compared to the older pianos, but more than that, many of the older pianos have a sound and action that has been restored to play and sound better than some of the newer pianos. This is because the casing of the piano has “aged” and never loses its original quality of sound. A genuine rebuilt Steinway Piano can feel and sound as good as if not better than the newest pianos being produced today, and so their value is unparalleled. Not only is one purchasing a Steinway piano that is appreciating in value, but also, an instrument that has a beautiful sound and touch.

What is the cost of used Steinway piano?

finally, the cost of the piano must be a criterion. Sometimes in the interest of saving money, some piano buyers leave the Steinway Piano behind only to purchase an instrument that is inferior in quality and name, and more importantly depreciating in value. As an investment, this does not make sense. Anyone can save money today at the price of tomorrow, but the wise person will stretch to make the soundest investment by choosing a Steinway Piano that sounds, looks, feels the best, and finally and very importantly, maintains its value over many years.

The widest selection anywhere in the world of used Steinway Pianos can be found at http://www.American-Steinway.com.

Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal

Gears Review — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:20:38 +0000

For the last few years I have relied upon a Boss ME-50 Boss multi-effects system to supplement my main gig pedalboard. The reason is simple. My main board is utterly huge, with almost 12 dedicated effects pedals. It’s great, but it’s also a back-breaker and sometimes causes more hassle than it’s worth.

I’ve discovered the tough way that hauling around a gigantic pedalboard isn’t always the smartest solution, especially for quick gigs or practices. As a result, the ME-50 has proven worth its weight in gold on more than one occasion. I never thought I would want to replace my Boss ME-50…then Boss introduced the ME-70.

To start, I think the new ME-70 looks a lot cooler than the ME-50. While you shouldn’t evaluate a pedalboard by its color, it’s difficult not to notice that the all-black ME-70 looks a lot sharper than the all-blue ME-50. It just plain looks bad-ass, but there’s more to this pedalboard than its new color.

Though looks are cool, it’s the sounds that really matter. Fortunately, the ME-70 is pretty hip in that department as well. What you get with the new ME-70 are the sounds from over 40 different Boss effects pedals. These are the identical sounds that you’ve heard and loved for years. The best modulation, delay, distortion, and overdrive sounds from Boss are under the hood, and they sound great!

But the ME-70 has a few tricks of its own. I used to avoid multi-effects boards with built-in preamps because I never used the preamp section. Then, one day I had a gig where my amp died, and I had to go direct from my pedalboard into the P.A. Ugh! It sounded terrible.

The ME-70 has a built in COSM preamp that you can use if you don’t have or can’t use your own amplifier. Plus it’s easily bypassed if you don’t need it. But if you’re ever in the same kind of position I was in, you would really be thankful for a pedalboard like the ME-70. Depending on the gig, it might be the only thing you take besides your guitar.

Another welcome plus to the Boss ME-7o is the onboard looper. Boss makes great looping pedals, and if you’ve ever used a Boss Loop Station, you’ll recognize the same Boss quality here as well. The looper gives you up to 38 seconds of loop time, which is exceptional for a non-dedicated looper.

In addition to the looper, the designers at Boss saw fit to included a dedicated compressor section, a noticeable omission in the ME-50. While the ME-50 did have a compressor, it had limited controls. Since a compressor is a requirement in any professional quality effects system, it’s a welcome addition to the ME-70

Thankfully, the best parts of the ME-50 are still present in the ME-70. You’ve got adjustable reverb and noise suppression in addition to the rocker pedal that controls volume, wah, and pitch-shifting effects.

So, if you’re looking for a world-class multi-effects pedal that won’t break the bank, you should definitely check out the Boss ME-70, a worthy successor to the ME-50.

Jazz Piano Improvisation II – Steinway & Sons Grand Piano

Gears Review — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 04:23:14 +0000

With a limited budget and space not everybody can afford the acoustic grand piano. But if you consider your options, a digital piano can very well fill the gaps and work out to be a great substitute for the acoustic grand piano.

Apart from the sound quality that a digital piano offers, there are even greater benefits with one and many of us need the features associated with this digital instrument. That is why it has gradually developed as a popular choice for music lovers.

Initially, it was developed to be an alternative to the acoustic piano. However, the sound producing system it uses is different from the traditional pianos. This digital instrument is based on high quality samples to produce piano sounds.

On broad terms, the better the quality of the samples incorporated in the instrument the more expensive it becomes. An important consideration is the way keyboard touch & feels. For simplicity of playing the device, it needs to have keys, which should feel almost like real keys of an acoustic piano.

The better digital pianos come with graded hammer action which simply means that the keys are heavier on the bass side and get gradually lighter as you move to the right of the keyboard. This is similar to the way the keys feel on a typical acoustic piano.

However, some of them resemble more to a digital keyboard and are designed to be portable. With the lightweight design they can be easily moved around and adds great value as far as ease of mobility is concerned. One of the great advantages is that they come with slot to connect a headphone so that you can practice without disturbing others. With digital pianos there are no maintenance & tuning activities needed.

There are several benefits offered which are equally beneficial for pros and amateurs. We have summarized few of the advantages of having this digital instrument.
* Compared to conventional pianos, these are relatively inexpensive.
* Smaller and considerably lighter, they suit mobility.
* They do not require tuning.
* They usually create several different piano timbres.
* They are much more likely to incorporate a MIDI implementation.
* They may have additional features to assist in learning and composition.
* Most of them include headphone output.
* They often have a transposition feature.
* Digital pianos do not require the use of microphones, eliminating the problem of audio feedback in sound reinforcement, as well as simplifying the recording process.

My dear Friend Christoph Radtke playing songs from Taizé on the Grand Piano. The songs are: * Alleluia 11 * * Bless the Lord * * Jesus le Christ * * Tui amoris ignem * *Confitemini Domino* * Gott ist nur Liebe (Bóg jest mi?o?ci?)* The quality isn’t the best, because it’s recorded with a mobile phone cam. Enjoy and please rate! More to come. +++UPDATE+++ Have a look at the other Taizé-Sessions: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

What's the best way to record a grand piano?
I'm talking about solo grand piano, playing classical or jazz music. When I record, it comes out clanky, and seems to exagerate any imperfections in the tuning. I want to capture the way the piano really sounds.
