In a bit of a rush, but I wanted to chime in. I have done this before. I have the Boss octave pedal - I don't recall the model number. It's a brown color.

I use it with a Mann 4 string...

Thanks to all of you for your considered informed opinions and suggestions. I appreciate it!!!!

I think you may be right that it just wouldn't be possible to solve this problem with a dehumidifier. It would be difficult to get one where I am.

A few folks have commented on the truss rod not...

Dear All,

First off, greetings. Long time see!

Question: My instrument (Kentucky KM1000B) has changed shape over the summer. The action is now too high to play comfortably and the bridge is at...

Thanks for this!

By the way it's a standard scale length acoustic guitar.

Hi All,

I guess this is probably a question that has been posted about, but I haven't been able to find such a post.

I just converted my guitar into a 5 string octave mando.

All I did was...

Cool. I wonder what the advantage of a 10 string is as opposed to a 5 string. Is it just the more mandolin-sound you get.

That is sweet! 5 strings and carved top. Nice. I have string envy.

OK - So I have tested the theory and gotten the following results.

1) The CS-2 always buzzes, no matter what I do. However the buzz is more distinct when plugged into the power of the board.

Great suggestion - thanks - I am charging some 9v's as I type this.

Every mandolin I have played on (only 5 :( ) has had this problem to some extent. Filing down the nut is the way to go, but I have struggled with this problem and never been able to get it just...

Greetings all,

Some time ago, some of you guys educated me a bit about the effect of power lines, grounds and power supplies on the buzzing noises that pedal boards can generate.

This morning...

Just one more thought - though the CS-2 adds sustain - it also compresses in the process and this has negative effect on the dynamic wah pedal. You can't put the CS-2 in front of the wah because...

Thanks!



It's interesting that you should feel this way. The CS-2 is one of my most important pedals.

The effect is surely the least distinct (and it does produce a significant amount of...

Beautiful! I'd love to hear it!

Hi All,

I have been booted from Mike Marshall's online school, until I get someone in the States to pay my tuition for another year (I am living in China and can't make the payment from here).

Hi Guys.

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't believe the truss rod is too tight. Since the neck still has a slight concave arch and (although I know there are other factors involved) loosening...

That is a thing of beauty!

Hi All,

Recently, I adjusted my truss rod and this helped me improve intonation. (Though I realize this is not the intended purpose of the TR)

However, now when I play the 7th fret, I get a...

If you can afford it, there are many other choices in this area. You can look through all the suggestions made over the past few years on this site.

Hi all - thanks for the comments. I understand all the points made here, and they are good ones. I know that the truss is not designed for this purpose, but it does have an impact on intonation -...

Hi All,

I have been very busy for the past few months and only had time to practice, but none for posting and browsing on this site... sadly.

Some of you may recall that I was struggling with...

Great job! Just got back to this thread today. You did an amazing job!

Beautiful looking instrument - I'd love to hear it!
