  • Pedals And Effects coming at you with something a little different today. Today Nick wanted to impart some knowledge; some cheap tips and tricks for the regularly gigging musician. Also I hop on board and share some lifelong tips and tricks from the early Racer X days, when Paul Gilbert and were flat-out broke!

    my friends, a non angled cable is the only one that makes sense, when using a Stratocaster. these have a input that Is not flat.
    but great tips here! life savers.

    • @dezionlion
      @dezionlion Před 7 lety +4

      angled cables work on strats too

    • @sun6moon9
      @sun6moon9 Před 7 lety +1

      Ohh yes..they do.. but I find it more ergonomically correct with a straight one.

    • @hiqwertyhi
      @hiqwertyhi Před 7 lety +2

      arguably my least favourite part of my strat.

    • @sun6moon9
      @sun6moon9 Před 7 lety

      Yes...i've been a SG with angled cables guy for a decade..it was probably the least favourite practicality of my strat. That and the volume button..but I learned to live with it.

  • @peterb7435
    @peterb7435 Před 7 lety +7

    Awesome tips guys....another really cheap strap fix I use . Heat the screw with a lighter a little bit..and send the screw through a pick and use it the same way Nick uses washers. I've been doing it for 15 years and never a problem, they are always on hand...and you don't have to steal a Washer from the drummer....I hope Dr octagon is coming to Providence or Boston!

    Right angled cables spin in their holes more so its better to use a straight end if you're not going to secure it.

    I like the right angle side of the cable to go into my pedals. Not sure if instrument cables come with both right angles?

  • @Losbass
    @Losbass Před 7 lety

    Great advice , most practical and affordable way to secure your instrument! However I've moved on to Lock-It guitar straps(no modifications required) , they're not crazy expensive , except for their leather strap version (overpriced) , Tried all the other strap lock systems , and they fawking sucked !

  • @wesmitchem825
    @wesmitchem825 Před 4 lety +1

    I still do that string trick another one is with a Floyd rose you string it backwards with the ball end through the tuners and wind all the slack on em and when you break a string at the bridge you just unwind a little slack and lock it in and tune it boom you can recycle your strings till there so dead you gotta change em

    @RocknRollisDead1 Před 7 lety +1

    Straight angle cables work better with strat style input jacks.

  • @thisguy2973
    @thisguy2973 Před 2 lety

    The toothpick trick is a great old fashioned way to fix stripped wood. It acts as a dowel in the cavity, but if the hole is beyond dry-fitting a toothpick/wood shard, you can add wood glue to the toothpick and it’ll cause the wood to swell from the water in the glue and bind a tighter glue joint. Then you can drill a fresh hole.

  • @nash100g
    @nash100g Před 7 lety

    You can't really use a right angle cable with most Teles or Strats, but I really prefer using them. It looks so much better and just makes sense.

    @shaunmaharaj9851 Před 7 lety

    A right angle cable on a 1/4 jack on the top of the guitar sometimes unscrews the washer in the input jack. Right angle has that leverage, bro.

    I was at a somewhat big event that happens every year in my territory with a pretty popular band playing and the guitar player had his cable exactly like how Nick showed off here. Not under the strap and not using the right angle cable end. My friend who just learned how to play some guitar pointed it out and was like "What the fuck is he even doing".

    Hey +PedalsAndEffects! I stumbled upon an interesting pedal. And I would like to see if you can operate on that mysterious pedal. It is the Possessed pedal by masf. It doesn't include specific knobs like volume, delay or glitch. Instead it presents knobs by the 5 senses. Each knob is named respectively as: sight, smell, taste, touch & hearing. And that's all. It's a confusing one isn't it? So, have a test of it. Let's see. I don't know how to use it either. Maybe if you may, please have a review on it. Thank you!
    For those of you who doesn't know MASF - Possessed pedal google and watch its videos by guitar players. If you find it peculiar, please let PedalsAndEffects know, it's a different pedal. Request to him a review so you can also watch how to use it.
