Am I the only one...?

[Lloyd676]

Am I the only one that, when playing an electric guitar unplugged, instinctually switches the pickup selector when playing a passage that needs a different pickup?

Like... I'll switch from bridge to neck and think to myself..."yeah... That's the stuff...". Maybe just shows how much we "hear" with our brains.

 

[markd21]

Lol....yeah. I've done it. I agree about the brain thing.

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

Huh?? What is this ”playing electric guitar unplugged” thing you speak of?

You guys are weird.

I split the pickups too! Nothing like an acoustic split pickup tone.

 

[JasonE]

I can't say that I have ever done that.

 

[Tony M.]

Not only do I use the controls on the guitar,
I also hear the sound changes in my head.

 

[Greywolf]

no matter how enchanted .. that has never happened

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

I can't say that I have ever done that.

I did it once, but couldn't tell the difference, so I never did it again.

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

no matter how enchanted ..

I like it! A new word for... buzzed. I can see that fitting right in... "Not necessarily enchanted... but... beautiful." Yep this is my new buzz buzz word.

But the real question is, do you step on the boost pedal when it’s time for a solo?

 

[Tony M.]

I don't have any boost pedals on my imaginary pedalboards.

 

[Gtrbldr]

Lol, nope

 

[DreamTheaterRules]

I don't have any boost pedals on my imaginary pedalboards.

But you can add a holy grail Klon pedal to the imaginary board, for like, cheap. So why not? Think of the fun you could have switching it on and off, while your guitar is unplugged, and then posting at TGP about the "haunting mids" it imparts on your unplugged electric guitars tone.

I played my Thinline acoustic last week cuz wife was napping. Generally an uninspiring experience with out electricity But, there was one upside. It forced me to be more accurate with my finger placement.
