    It’s not even 24 hours since i registered and here i am starting another topic….well what can i say…be patient with me…

    1. I’ve read on sites and heard about many times, when regarding the multieffects pedals they mention patches…
    I know more or less that a patch is the set of sound mods put together to create one specific type of sound.What i would like to know is of course more details and what do they mean when they say to “get” the patch for a song? is it a list of all the settings to recreate the sound?i’m confused

    2.I’ve got an Epi Les Paul Black Beauty.Thing is i changed my strings from 9’s to 10’s and i’m afraid it might have some impact on the neck.Should i change back to 9’s??

    3.I noticed, about a week before changing the strings mentioned above, a slight sound cadence when playing a single note with distortion.Now i don’t remember if the cadence was present before, the guitar is actually only 4 months old but it kinda worries me…what can i do by myself to check it?

      the patches can be written down manualy too, they will tel you to turn on your chorus effect, set the intensity to 8 and the depth to 6, also turn on the reverb and have set to hall medium, and also set the distortion to drive 7 and level 8 etc etc, you get the idea, ps if you want that kind of info have a look at http://www.guitargeek.com/

      no idea on the wavering note, never heard of that.

      [quote] 3. cadence? what sound change, discribe it.[/quote]
      Well it’s like the note waving instead of fading out steadily…
      You’re right not suggesting me to do it myself….three years ago i took my guitar to a shop…in pieces!!!! i was just messing around with the screws and suddenly the body got separated from the neck…never tried to touch those screws again…

      About the patches i read once in a forum about a guy who was looking for patches for his gfx but it was a model with no usb or anything similar, i know because a friend of mine used to have the same model….so what did HE mean by finding patches?

      1. some Multieffects units have the capability of having patches downloaded via a USB connection, so you connect it to your PC and access the website with the patches and download them to your Multieffects.

      2. It will have a slight effect on the neck, the heavier strings will create more tension and thus pull the neck forward a little more, this will cause the action (string height from fretboard) to be raised a little more, it will not cause your neck to break, and it will not damage it. Strings can go a lot heavier than 10’s, i use 10’s myself, my friend uses 13’s, accoustic guitars can go heavier.
      The action can be lowered by adjusting the bridge saddle heights and tweeking the truss rod, although i wouldnt recomend this to a beginer like yourself, take it to a shop and have it done, it usally costs about $50.

      3. cadence? what sound change, discribe it.
