Not that far from the truth. To be honest, on several occasions I did give up for a few months. Having a selection of amps available - Marshall, Sessionette, Roost and(briefly) Hiwatt - didn't make the search any easier. Compressors were borrowed, begged and bought(cheap) from...
I've had mine for 3 years. No problems with the bridge apart from a brief problem with the tone on the high G string - I tune GBEADGBE - changed to a different brand, that solved it. I couldn't agree more, they're bloody dreadful. The first thing I did was replace them with a set of Bare...
And the winner is ........... TC Electronic Spectra Comp I know it's meant for bass, but it works well with the 8 string, which I'm using 2 handed and clean like a Chapman Stick. The single knob set in the range of 12 o'clock and 2 seems to be the optimum. Of the others I tried, the...
I've got a bit of a problem with the Edge-III 8 on my RGA8. The 3rd string(g) sounds different. If I tap the saddle units behind the string the 3rd sounds hollow. The other 7 don't. Any thoughts guys?
Thanks everyone. I'm off to the local music shop tomorrow to try out the pigtronics and a freind of a friend has a diamond that I'm going to have a play with at the weekend. Cheers.
I've tried Boss & Keeley. They're both bad. I've never been a fan of the Keeley. I'm thinking about an optical comp, but information is proving hard to find.
Hi guys, I need some advice on compressors. I'm using an RG8 with Bare Knuckle Emerald 8's. I'm looking for a compressor for a clean sparkly sound. Any ideas? Thanks
RGA8 Mods:- Replaced the pickups with Bare Knuckle Emeralds. Added a tone pot. Series/parallel mini-switches. Upgraded 3-way selector switch. Switchcraft mono jack socket. Much better. Tone vastly improved, plus actual dynamics.

Greetings everyone. I'm new to 7 strings. Only had one a couple of months. I've been playing since I was a kid. Mainly rock and classical - no metal. Well, not often. I'm looking for info on amplification and effects for 7's. I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions. Thanks.
