									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Then I guess it’s appropriate that I modified my Tele today.  I added a switch that puts both pickups in series mode. In-other-words, turns both pickups into a humbucker.  It sounds great and acts a little like a volume boost. A fat tone enhancing volume boost. &#x1f60e;&#x1f602;</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m downsizing my studio.  I&#8217;m getting rid of my 32-channel console mixer and replacing it with a Presonus 16R mixer.  It&#8217;s a rackmount 16 channel mixer that uses the Fender Universal Control app.  It does almost everything the console mixer does, so I&#8217;m not really losing any functionality.  And I&#8217;ve got lots more desk space now. &#x1f60e;</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Fat General compressor may be my new favorite compressor.  The name is quite appropriate. It really fattens the tone and lifts the presence.  It’s one of those unique pedals that should stay on most of the time. I’ll try and post a demo in the next few days. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think my first pedal was an Ibanez flanger I bought around 1981.  My second was a Rat about 2 years later.  Third was shortly after the Rat, an Ibanez compressor.  I still have all 3. &#x1f60e;</p>
