Behold the Barber 1/2 Gainer

[mjcyates]

So Ringmod, I have noticed that you live in Louisville. What band are you playing with? You are welcome to try out my 1/2 Gainer if you'd like.

Cool, I live in the Highlands and work downtown. I think Guitar Emporium should have the Half Gainer soon. Currently I play in three bands:

Dangerbird will be on WFPK's Live Lunch on friday and I will be playing an out-of-town gig on saturday with JD.

I'm sure they will. Eric has been keeping a nice inventory there lately. I think you will like the 1/2 Gainer.

Still no half-gainer at Guitar Emporium. I'm jonesing!

We are up to date on all US orders.. You may want to call them and ask if they plan on stocking them..

[ringmod]

They are stocking them, the order was placed a little while ago. I guess they are in the mail. I'll stop by this weekend and check it out.

Received my 1/2 Gainer this week. I haven't had alot of time with it but so far I really like it. I can already tell one mod I would like to do. I would like for the mid control to just control one channel. The channel I use for leads I would like to have full mids. David is there a fairly simple way to accomplish this?

Or may I propose another idea (heck, it's not like you have enough work yet, right Dave?):

How 'bout making the LTD's middle tone control a push-pull, giving two preset mid-voicings: -SR and standard. Sort of an analagous feature to the Direct Drive cousins, if you will. On the standard pedal, this could streamline both LTD offerings into one pedal; and on the Half-Gainer, it would make everybody happy (except for the dudes that have black-on-silver art-deco issues). Not sure if this is at all electonically possible. Still, though, I'd use any Barber pedal in stock form and be more than happy.

But then the price-point might change and I would be sad if that happened.
