Busy week for the pedal board..

With the Marshall Gvnor turning up along with the Boss long dash CE-2, its been an evening of sounds..Specially now the Schecter has once again been refitted.
So far the schecter iroko tangerine dream has been wearing the srv signature neck, but as I had another birdseye pro neck lying around I decided I really wanted to have the running gear on the schecter a full brass track, from claw to nut.So I refitted a Malsteen upgrade brass neck onto the Warmoth birdseye pro with braz fretboard ,6110 frets and 22 frets and fitted the neck to the body.Then of course the truss rod level and tring heights had to be looked at, but the end result is a running gear going from a brass claw, thru noiseless springs running into a fender brassman series tremblock and saddles thru the malsteen brass nut.Added to this is the 61 cap reissue running into a mastertone no-load pot and a blender no-load bringing the neck and bridge together when required.Ernie ball heavy/light strings assist.
Theres obviously still some work to be done, but using some calling cards and verniers I've left the string height quite high to squeeze as much out of the body and neck combo as possible.
The neck is completely different to the SRV in every respect and the guitars character has changed.Pics will follow..
Looking around I late into the wee hours I came across a guy who makes pedals for a living..I reckon he's barking mad..french as well, but his pedals have a reputation as being awesome..I've come across his most weird invention of all..its tempting...




Think the bloke needs to get out more..
anyway, the pedal which is no longer in production has fuzz, distortion,volume and wah AND Sing...right then, here is the explanation to all you Trekkers...

3- THE SINGING FUNCTION
The Singing function of the Geisha is a musical instrument per se.
This means that it is totally independent and that you don't even need a guitar to play it. The Singing Geisha is an analog monophonic synthesizer which notes are determined by the position of the rocker pedal. You reach the highest note when depressed and the lowest when in back position.The frequencies range from 82,4Hz-(E) to 1319Hz-(e3), e3 being the highest possible note. We chose E ( mi in French) as extremes because this note naturally goes with standard guitar tuning, making jamming along with the Geisha a breeze.
But the upper range can be set , thanks to the sing range pot, from 329,6Hz-(e1) to 1319Hz-(e3) and any note between.
Micro tonal notes can also be hit as the analog nature of the geisha makes that there always is a note between 2 notes ---until the Planck length but this is another story---.
A short range makes it easy to play melodies as a long range will gives more portamento impressions , great to highlight a guitar solo.
The Singing function in itself will gives hours of musical fun, and, while serious training is needed to play simultaneously one melody on the Geisha and its counterpoint on the guitar, it is an easy player from day one, thanks to its ultra-precise opto-electronic mechanism.
Of course , the Singing volume is adjustable in order to mix it with your guitar to your taste.

things could get weird..
