Got 2 new ones, all wired up & ready to go: (lighting & angle aren't great, but hey...)






And I'll pose the question I pm'd to a couple of others to see if I can get some different responses:

So the guitar is ready to ship, just gotta decide on the UGB and whether or not to install it. I do have the FX loop in there, but don't know if I need the UGB, and if I do elect to have it installed, would it possibly be detrimental to my set-up? I mean, it's not like I'm running 50 foot cables ala Jerry, but I do have 10 FX in my chain right now, and could see adding another 2-5 in the future....so what do you think??? I'm stuck. Here's the email Tim sent me this morning on his opinion on it:

Code: Select all

We are ready to ship.  I was just going through final notes on  
the guitar and saw in the sheet we had discussed using a pre amp in  
the guitar.  We spoke again about not using it and on Saturday we  
were just going with the loop and no preamp.  I just want to make  
sure that you are happy with the guitar when it arrives so here are  
the pros and cons.  A preamp is advised for long cable runs.  This  
would happen with many effects and a large stage.  What it does is  
give the effects unity gain.  ( or full signal were there is lots of  
resistance).  A pre amp does effect the tone of the guitar mostly by  
giving it a higher output. (making the guitar louder but not exactly  
as clean)  A preamp also means a 9 volt battery.    In my opinion  
this guitar sounds great the way it is and the loop will work  
effectively for your use with out it.   The general leaning of many  
of the guys using effect loops right now is to keep the guitar  
natural (no pre amp.)  There is also a few companies making and  
outboard unity buffer so it is not in the guitar.  Steve Kimmock is  
one of the guys i first saw bypass the whole pre amp thing but still  
have the loop.  We just want to be sure before the guitar gets sent  
to you.  If you are good we will send.  If you have questions please  
shoot me a email because i will be away from my phone or just call  
Pat.  Thanks again.   t 

Thanks for the help!

Hey Shake, Tone is #1 to me and it sounds like Tim is saying that the UGB will affect the tone. UNLESS those other factors (big stage, long cables,etc) are something you will contend with OFTEN, I'd leave it off. Now, that being said, I am wondering what the affect would be if you had the UGB added to your guitar, but left the battery out. What I'm asking is, would that equal not having a UGB? If so, add the thing and install the battery only when you needed it. Leave the battery out and get pure tone when you don't need the UGB.

Peace,

Gil

But you will be running 50 footers or more.

#1 Guitar > board
#2 board > guitar
#3 guitar > amp

Correct?

That is easily 50 feet right there.

Add in a big stage and a desire not to be tethered to tightly to the board and you can be up to 100 in no time.

Oh, and like I said over PM - I'd suggest having them include a circuit to cut it to low impedance.

WOW!
