Kaal wrote a great spreadsheet that includes most of that iformation. I have just added it to the top of the Tutorials list. You can find it here.

My new favorite feature in TLSE

I haven't read every post, so this may have already been covered and discussed, but... I play in a P&W group. In this situation, my TLSE is run directly to the snake and to the board. I've read all the notes and differing opinions about how best to do this, but after some experimentation I have that part down. I overcame the ground lift/ buzz issue that was driving everyone crazy... I've even conqured the high gain N/R settings to reduce noise and also found a solution to getting a good balance from two different guitars through a submixer so the output was matched. Yes, everything was going good... except one little annoyance. These types of groups (and others too) have a perpetual problem that is the bane of most guitarists everywhere. The music is often written in piano friendly keys like C#, Eb or G#... sometimes including multiple modulations. In otherwords, barre chords, alternate fingering/tuning or CAPOS. Ok, so we know how to adjust and move on, but how many times would you like to have a nice ringing open chord or harmonic strings and sliding dissonances that can only be achieved optimally without these compromises? Well fellow TLSE users, the little feature called "Pitch Shifter" is my new best friend. Oh, I'd used it to create a nice 12 string effect, but one day it dawned on me what I could possibly do with it. Setting the pitch to the correct interval (or for a guitar friendly mind, the correct fret number where you'd place a capo if you were using one), setting the direct signal level to 00.0 and the effect level to 10.0 I made a few little tweaks to get just the right sound and... voila! instant invisible capo. I just tried it out at Easter service in front of a couple thousand people... no room for a major gaffe like playing in the wrong key. It was perfect. This may not work for everyone, especially if you are playing in an environment where you and/or the audience are hearing the acoustic sound of your guitar in addition to the amplified sound. For example if you are playing normally in G major with the Pitch Shifter set to G# and you hear both sounds, it will obviously sound awful. But if you usually only hear what is coming out of your amp or the PA, use this idea and you will just smile and play on, while other guitarists retune, clamp on a capo or otherwise modify what they play to accomodate the pianist! LONG LIVE THE PITCH SHIFTER!

I heard a recording of the live program and didn't perceive anything overtly "digital" in the sound. I was using both a cleanish AC30 and a cranked up Marshall sound with a Ric 345 and a Telecaster.It would be nice to be able to make changes on the fly more easily with this effect to allow for more modulation and quick changes in a set though.

Very cool David. Nice work.
