Is Kim a fellow chordian ?

It's possible his wife is ... she is a vocalist for the (only?) North Korean pop group ...

Thanks, guys ...

Nice to know I'm in such esteemed company! lol Seriously though, it's actually quite enjoyable to learn little things like this regularly ... it's all a part of what keeps life interesting.

Wait until you get the chance to change the strings on a Floyd Rose tremolo - that's always a fun experience!! smile

Do you have or use any of the products you showed?  Which one?

I've got two of these controllers:

Bass with GK-3B attached (although here it's running into a wireless then into the Line6 into the amp):

And a pic of my mate's kid playing the PRS controller:

Same guitar, but running as a guitar, not synth controller, when I was testing out a KLd tube amp:

Somewhere I have some *really* old photos of the GR system up on stage - on an old 110 film camera, but it was big and bulky and it only make it to a couple of gigs ... the controller is a nice guitar, but heavy and a bit awkward to play ... I'll see if I can find the pics at home ...

Looks like the links to these photos are gone; here they are on another site ...

Wow! Sooo much talent! I never realized you have such a long history with music, my friend!  I couldn't find it on Amazon, but sure would like to have my own copy. Can you give me a website on which it may be ordered (just shoot me a mail)? I would like to add it to my "The Chordians' Greatest Hits" if possible..

Mail incoming ... !!

Yep, I had the same experience with my PRS SE Torero ... it takes a while to kick the habit of leaving it plugged in!!

neo just finished listening to your other entries for this month.  'Sound of Silence', this is a song I really like, you covered it well and it suited you vocally.  'Morning has Broken' is another song and artist I like, nicely covered by you as well.  'The best way to Travel' I actually don`t know this song, your guitar playing was really good on it.  'I saw the Light' another one I don`t know, but enjoyed listening to you play it.  'Ashes to Ashes', a great song, thought this suited you vocally too.  Once again neo, your amazing at how many you manage to cover each month smile

Thanks for your kind words, I'll manage to slip one more in, but I did this in an "artistic" way wink

I was also wondering if a person could run one Xvive setup from guitar > effects array, and then another from the effects array > amp?

I've also wondered this - I've got a Line6 wireless for my electric and then thought, "this is no good, wires still connect the effects to the amp!!!" ....

Richard from what I have seen I would say yes it is more then possible smile check out the photos on the left of this link
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail … stem-black

Cheers for that, but the receiver is going into either the amp or the effects pedals ... not out of the effects .. guess there's only one way to find out for sure ...
