Howdy CP....
Wow....a 2mm pick, that's a thick muther.
I've been using Fender Mediums (Medium: From . 45 to . 69 millimeters - Cellulite Tortoise Shell) since the mid 70's and they still work for me.
When I first start playing did the thin pick thing but I quickly went to the Fender Mediums after some practice time under my belt.
Fender hard picks are just that for me....too hard.

Howdy all....
Guess I'll shamelessly throw this against the forum wall.
My CIC (collaborator-in-chief), Ken Lasaine, does the great axe work.
Thanks to any that give it a spin and hope you found it worthy of your time.

Secrets And Lies (135 bpm Key: Am 03:26)
Intro:
Chorus:
Secrets and lies when you work under cover. (Careful what you say. Keep your story straight).
Steady and sly when you work under cover. (Careful what you say)
Secrets and lies….secrets and lies.
Verse 1
“You know your mission, we got your back. We’re taking no prisoners. They’re the worst of the bad.
Stage a situation to look good in their eyes. Give it some time and they’ll invite you inside.” Secrets and lies….secrets and lies.
Verse 2 Dressed to the nines with a very cool pad. Strutting around town in a shiny sedan.
Add a bit of flash with some money to spend. Play the role and treat them all like you’re friends.”
Chorus: Secrets and lies when you work under cover. (Careful what you say. Keep your story straight).
Steady and sly when you work under cover. (Careful what you say)
Verse 3
Breaking out the good stuff to help them relax over easy conversation how you won at the tracks.
Spin a few tales of the crimes in your past. Not a word of it’s true, just part of the act.
If you’re feeling suspicion, deflect and deceive. Some misdirection may be just what you need.
Be cool under pressure, with tricks up your sleeve. Have a good story, one they’ll believe.
Chorus:
Lead break: verse music & chorus music
Verse 4
I had a mission, here’s what they said: “We‘re taking no prisoners, they’re the worst of the bad.”
The mission’s accomplished, according to plan. The world’s a better place you can trust me on that.
Chorus:
Vamp out: with Bm & ‘secrets and lies.

Leaked.
Overview of IK Multimedia TONEX ONE Guitar Pedal
A complete live rig in the palm of your hand
TONEX One delivers the same cutting-edge amp, cab, and pedal tones as TONEX Pedal, but in a pocket-sized, streamlined device.
TONEX One can replace any amp, boost, overdrive, distortion, or fuzz pedal, and its small size allows it to fit anywhere on any pedalboard. And with adjustable knob colors, any artist can afford to stack and configure as many independent effects as they need and easily tell them apart on stage. With the world's best tones taking up half the size of a traditional stomp pedal, there's no limit to what a pedalboard can do.
FEATURES:
• Advanced AI Machine Modeling™ technology for hyper-realistic tone
• Play models of amps, amps+cabs, combos or distortion, overdrive, fuzz,
boost and EQ pedals
• Stores up to 8 banks of 3 Tone Models each (2 for dual mode, 1 for bypass
mode)
• Gain, bass, mid, treble, and volume controls
• Onboard EQ, gate, compressor and reverb
• Tracks all on-stage changes with “always saved” behavior
• Dual A/B or on/off operating modes
• Cabinet bypass to connect to traditional rigs
• TRS stereo output to connect to other pedals, PA or headphones
• Runs on standard 9v pedal power supplies
• Also works as a USB audio interface for recording
• Access to ToneNET to share, download and load over 25,000 free and premium Tone Models
An endless ecosystem of tone
TONEX One offers complete access to the TONEX ecosystem. Connecting to a computer via USB-C, users can load dozens of included Tone Models, any they create themselves, or choose from over 25,000 available Tone Models on ToneNET.
Just connect the included TONEX Librarian to easily load, save and manage all Tone Models in seconds.
Two modes, unlimited possibilities
TONEX One offers 2 performance modes:
The dual preset mode hosts two presets, allowing the footswitch to toggle between them. It functions akin to a two channel amp - artists can have both clean and crunch sounds in one box, easily toggling between two completely different sets of Tone Models and settings.
The on-off mode works just like most pedals, toggling between a single preset and a bypassed state. This mode makes TONEX One an ideal overdrive pedal offering limitless choices of overdrive, fuzz and more. Best of all, TONEX One lets users save up to 8 banks of unique dual/on-off combinations, for a total of 24 total onboard Tone Models. With the ability to stack multiple TONEX One on a single board, the combinations are endless.

Good day all....
Well....
I've never written (2) song back to back before so I'll throw this one against the wall too.
A song about life and how we me fail to grasp it and it's unknown adventures or opportunities.
You know, the "without some risk there's no reward" thing.
My sincere thanks to Ken (klasaine) for his time and musicianship on this new one.
He's the best and easy to work with.
I played he CONGA track free hand.
Thanks also to any that give it a spin and hope you find it worthy of your time.
I'd like to encourage others that have completed songs or compositions to post 'em up.
It's lonely here at the bottom.

Time Waits For No One (100 bpm Key: Bm 3:21)
Intro:
Verse 1
Born alone, eyes tightly closed awaiting your first cry. When you strike out on your own, so begins your life. Every path will ebb and flow to swells of ocean waves. You’ve done your time says every line etched deeply on your face.
Chorus
Time waits for no one, there’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one, so board that ship before it sails.
Bm7 (4 bars) interlude
Verse 2
Looking back at old regrets and possibilities So easy to get lost in thought and dreamy reveries. Younger voices calling you for choices never made. Life’s a stormy marathon, can’t always play it safe
Chorus
Time waits for no one, there’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one, so board that ship before it sails.
Bridge:
Lead break: verse + chorus. Verse: Bm7 (41-56) Chorus: (57-60)
Bridge:
Verse 3
Someone told me long ago wisdom comes with age. Get used to all the highs and lows accept what can’t be changed. Without some risk there’s no reward. The nature of the game. Young or old, keep pushin’ on. Forward is the way.
Chorus
Time waits for no one. There’s choices to be made. Time waits for no one so board that ship before it sails.
Vanp to end: Bm7 (8 bars) (81-84)

Enjoying the latin percussion or whatever. The piano breakdown is very cool too. Guitar solo work cool 70s vibe. I admit though I'm not a huge fan of some of the vocal harmonies - I think the vocals could have stood on their own or perhaps used a different harmony note choices. Just my opinion though.

No prob rollerball.
It's a salsa style rhythm section.
I appreciate taking the time to give it a listen and commenting.
Nothing mainstream about my material and we either like song or a particular genre or we don't for any number of reasons.
I think most here are into rap or heavy metal anyway which I have no affinity for.
Thanks again for chiming in and the kind comments.

Kinda my take on it also.
Admittedly, I'm old and I grew up (musically speaking) that's much different now.
As subjective as music taste is (my signature if more blunt) I'm frequently amazed at what passes for actual talent and appeal.
But, I'm just a nobody with an irrelevant opinion about it all.

I'm not entirely clear what you are after but if you are just looking to plug both a bass and guitar into a single unit then the Fractal units (particularly the larger ones) can handle that. In fact, with the higher HP units (e.g. FM9) you can run them off the same preset, each with their own signal path if you want unique tones and don't go too crazy with blocks/effects.

Here you go. Get more than one and you can have fruity colored lights on your board and stack that processing power.

Just checked Youtube and all the shills are out in force. I counted 32 review videos before I got tired of scrolling... surely all glowing with praise. Shills love free gear. Say nice things and it keeps coming.
I'm only interested in analog gear at this point. There's a nice looking Pultec EQ pedal I'd like to try but that's about it.

Mornin'....
Doing vocals has always been my confidence hurdle to deal with.
I'm no crooner anyway and don't writing sappy, maudlin love songs.
My focus is to pick an interesting topic and write about it with a focus on lyrics/story line.
I'll never have any mass appeal but that's not why I do what I do.
I'm just a light rock guy that likes to write songs & play rhythm guitar as creative therapy.
There's nothing easy about song writing.
As I mentioned, the music taste demographic here seems to be metal, rap and shredding.
None of which appeals to me.
As an experiment, I just figured I'd post up a couple to encourage others who may be balking at uploading their efforts.
Truth be known though, one has to have the skin of a snow tire if one uploads a song because we always have to take the bitter with the sweet.
Experiment is over now.
Thanks for giving a listen and kind words.Last edited by Wayne Evans; 04-28-2024 at 06:54 AM.

I've always been a very traditional guitarist, in the sense that I play though an amp, and I record with a mic on a cabinet. I've had an old mixer I've used forever going to a line in on my computer and recorded in various programs, reaper, nuendo, etc
But I just got a new focusrite 4th gen and I want to run some amp sims. Anyone have some good recommendations on stand alone programs I can play and listen to myself without going through amp but my computer/stereo speakers?
I have a 100w evh 5150 and I just can't handle the volume which I need to get proper gain, and dont want to buy another amp. So trying this who sim route. Honestly want similar sound to that amp, or a friedman pink taco
Thanks for any recommendations.Actively Anti Racist Miscer.
