Check out the original - it's got a male singer doing the melody, it sounds more overtly japanese to my ears but this version was suggested by the vibes player and he does arrangements of all kinds of stuff so we did it.

@@aliensporebomb I am a big fan of berserk I have listened to that alot, this was just a good and interesting take on it

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

And thanks for the correct term for what I saw!

Not a major crossing. Grade crossings like this are common south of the metro in that area but this particular line is usually what they call exempt meaning it is still an active line and trains can come at any time but usually not used very often. Another railroading term "embargoed" means the line is inactive and won't see any activity at any time.

It's a Roland Ready Strat. It has the pick-up built in. But you can buy the pickup separately and fit it to your existing guitars. More interestingly, this device can be used without the special pickup - it then becomes a standard guitar and amp modeler. And the external pickup is removable to stock in just minutes.

@@aliensporebomb thanks for your reply ... sounds very nice doesn't it ?

@@smartti1970 Yes. I have also gigged with it recently and this coming weekend I'll be using it with electric bass for a gig. It's more than just a guitar synth, it's a recording interface (multichannel, you can separate each string into your daw so you can process each string with different effects) as well as a tuner, multi-effects unit, and more.

@@aliensporebomb recording each string is amazing !

@@aliensporebomb was wandering which Roland Strate model it is ?

The mic was amped up - by the mic of the video recorder. But if I was doing a SM57 type recording using those back input will cut that hiss massively.

@@aliensporebomb right, I can hear the video camera recording it lol. Anyway I wouldn't have thought to go straight into the effects loop, interesting. I noticed my JC-40 doesn't hiss too bad when the treble knob is turned down some from 12 o clock position. Pretty recordable, especially if the mic is a few inches back.

I would think so - I don't own a JC40 but if you look on the back and see the inputs try it and report back your results!

I was wondering the same…… I almost went with the 120, but the whole reason I was getting a new amp was because my Fender The Twin (red knob is NOT the “evil” version, people! I don’t know how or why that has become such a common misunderstanding that it seems more people think it’s true than realize it’s not 🤷‍♂️) was WAY too loud to use pretty much anywhere save for maybe Madison square gardens? lol… don’t think I’m playing there anytime soon 😅 and realized the 120 was PROBABLY not the best solution re volume, lol….. I got the 40 and STILL sometimes have some issues with the volume when using certain rig setups…

FWIW, a red knob Twin is not an Evil Twin. Evil Twins are labeled "Twin Amp" and they look very similar to a blackface Twin.

Anbsolutely. The audio engineer side of me hates this. lol

Ugh….. it’s such a mind ****, as I LOVE Roland’s JC amps but HATE excess noise 😩

@@PeterWoloszyn I wonder if the new ones still hiss. Would love a JC 40

Yes.

What did they dump there?

@@aliensporebomb garbage bags,clothes

Same here - if you look at the NextDoor post you can see photos my neighbor took of the junk. @@paulnoeske9120

It's got a built in sequencer so you can do stuff like "On the Run" by Pink Floyd.

Thanks so much!

Jackson Soloist - mostly bridge pickup, Boss OC-2 octaver, Mesa Studio preamp set clean, Lexicon Vortex with my "Alien Murk" preset and TC Electronic G Sharp reverb plus the Expert Sleeper's Augustus Loop. That's it - direct to the recorder.

It still can do the chorus effect - it's just that gain staging for the preamp is what is causing the hiss. I disabled chorus since my modeler was producing the chorus effect.

You are bypassing the chorus/vibrato when using the main ins@@aliensporebomb

Where were you in 1986 when I rolled this monster into my closet? I'll have to roll it back out and try it again. So I can run some pedals in a chain but just make sure to use the back of the amp? Thank you so so so much😊

The cadence sensor? That would be doable. The speed sensor is a different story - tape might last a while but give way after some time.

@@aliensporebomb so far the tape is working .

I agree with you 😊🇦🇺
