Title: New update on Richard's site Post by: Voodoochild on February 23, 2007, 01:45:53 PM http://4tus.com
New update to his site, added a really cool gear page with pictures of a ton of his guitars, including a lot you see him use in GNR, like the Fernandes Sustainer (Madagascar)... Notice how at least two of the Les Paul has killswitch. Maybe because of Buckethead influence...? ;) Direct link: http://4tus.com/gear/gear2.htm Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: Tommie on February 23, 2007, 01:56:38 PM Stupid question time.. what is a kill switch? I play guitar, and I have heard this mentioned alot, but I honestly have no idea what it does.
Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: MJ23 on February 23, 2007, 02:03:38 PM You can interrupt the tone of the guitar by using the kill switch. : ok:
I think Tom Morello is using that one very often too. Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: Voodoochild on February 23, 2007, 02:04:17 PM Its that thing tha cuts the sound.. It can be heard in Bucket's solos on Better, IRS and TWAT. :)

The word "cut" did not want to come to my mind. :hihi: Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: HBK on February 23, 2007, 02:07:21 PM Beatiful Guitar... thankz hBk * Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: Slipdisc on February 23, 2007, 02:07:54 PM Stupid question time.. what is a kill switch??

During the outro where you hear the section that has the "skipping" effects, he's using the kill switch. In Better, the final part of his shred solo also uses the kill switch Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: Voodoochild on February 23, 2007, 02:25:37 PM TWAT - 5:16 ~ 5:23
Better - 3:33 ~ 3:36 (you will listen easier in the instrumental version) IRS - 3:15 ~3:16 and 3:37 ~3:39 (this last one is also easier to listen in the instrumental) He used that sometimes live, you can see him hitting this button in RIR3 Madagascar solo. But anyways, Richard is versatile and likes "new" (tho this is not new, but he likes Amplitube, Jellyfish and so on) stuff... It may have nothing to do with Bucket. :P Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: Slipdisc on February 23, 2007, 02:27:26 PM Its that thing tha cuts the sound..

And here you have an pretty extensive example of it, while playing Jordan (one of his own songs): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsUttvFhBt0 -PEACE- Title: Re: New update on Richard's site Post by: dodger girl on February 23, 2007, 03:18:26 PM awesome collection he has!! i love the variety of guitars he plays and owns.. i know very little about guitars, but watching stuff like this makes me wish i knew more.. beautiful instrument the guitar is :)
