That condensate could have four years of funk building up in there, right? So I’m thinking a tea might be the perfect flush. The water has dried up since I’m running too humidifiers in the bottom floor, I cleaned the coils outside, and the window unit unit in the unfinished second floor. it has been spray foam and sealed, but it’s too large of a space for the window unit, but perhaps that helped a little bit.

lol - do you have any insightful HVAC experience on where to put the clean out Tee?

@@GregoryGuay I'd put it closer to the unit. So can flush gunk out of the whole line ✔️

@@nervouswreck392 I suppose I can replace the current 90deg elbow with the 90deg P-Trap (probably with a removable union each side - this way I can reach towards the trap w/ a cleaning snake of sorts, and then flush the system downstream. I just realized that the 3' stretch after the P-Trap is actually sloped the wrong way!!! It is correct as it continues around the corner, but damn! I guess the positive pressure from the unit is enough to push the water, but still, seems like quite an oversight on the install, isn't it?? The unit should have been raised up a couple more inches....?

@@GregoryGuay hard to tell degrees/angle from a pic/video. It doesn't. Show up. What I do once a year is pop the cap off my clean out and take me garden hose and blast it through. But yes with a negative back fall. Water will move down the pipe due to back pressure. But the slime will stack up ☝️

@@nervouswreck392 The first leg, after the trap, is backward slope 1/8" per foot. So the air handler has to push the water trickle up hill before it turns the corner and goes down. Maybe this is brilliant to ensure the trap always has a little water? Or maybe it's an oversight on the installer. Apparently it's not that huge of a deal if it seems to have been working. Well, there was water in my secondary pan but that has dried up since I ran dehumidifiers downstairs and put an inefficient window unit in the (sealed) attic/unfished 2nd story.

Unfortunately, no. It would be amazing if it had reverb and boost. however, I do use a different mini-boost pedal for aclean boost and it works great! While the Aura does not "do it all" - the tone is AMAZING. There are some other Fishman EQ preamps the DO have boost but may not have the modeling. The modeling...I"m on the fence about, but I do use %20 acoustic modeling it gives it "some air" to soften the direct acoustic sound.

I posted a picture of my acoustic rig with my Gibson J45 recently on IG: gregoryguaymusic

Thank you. Check out my trio, we just released our debut single: Santuario, Gregarious Grooves Trio.

Yepes is the Maestro, indeed! I would not compete with him, silly. This was a video fifteen years ago when I was a student.

Tiene pequeños errores de esos que te hacen disfrutar más la música. Las grabaciones de los grandes están ahí y a todos nos gustan, pero yo cada vez escucho más las de músicos profesionales, profesores e incluso aficionados: la verdadera música.

I made a blog post about the insulation here. It's the Knauff 2" Duct Liner roll. The only local option here in Charleston, SC - though I still did a special order. www.gregoryguaymusic.com/post/hvac-baffle-box-diy-acoustic-silencer

Thank you Greg! I just found a place in town that sells that stuff. @@GregoryGuay

Are you, @@dustincassidy , making these 'baffle boxes' for a new space? I don't have mine up in the ceiling yet, just need to make a few adjustments, add some more insulation and 'mastic' to seal off any loose fiberglass (don't want that floating around) and then get it into my home attic/rehearsal/recording space....

What is the frown face for?

Thanks! I remember being amazed when I heard Leyenda for the first time, and couldn't understand how one guitarist could do that - hence my quest to study classical and Spanish guitar began years ago! ruclips.net/video/o82lf98f3NU/видео.html I have some music on Spotify/iTunes you can check out as well.

I think I’d have to quit guitar in order to make the time to get into retail, Lol.

​@@GregoryGuayHELLO DEAR FRIEND ❤️❤️ GREETINGS 🙏🙏 FROM SERBIA HAVE A HAPPY DAY ❤️❤️❤️

@@rasabuca610 do you see people playing music in Serbia often?

@@GregoryGuay NO DEAR FRIEND GREGORY ♥️♥️ BUT I LISTEN TO MUSIC 🎶🎶 CONSTANTLY BUT NOT SERBIAN ♥️♥️TURBO FOLK 🎶🎶 HAPPY DAY 👍👍 AND KIND REGARDS ❤️❤️❤️

I agree with you. The guitar quality, pick up, speaker and amplifier system, and essentially the users ability to equalize a mix are more important than the Fishman Aura. I find that I like a maximum of 20% modeling just for a subtle amount of “air“ added to the blend. otherwise it starts to sound ‘boxy’ and potentially ruins a decent guitar tone. In the particular instance I like to use the Fishman, when I play a church gig I’m essentially using it as a tuner, DI, light compression, and my %20 blend. If I bypass the AurA and go directly to the mixer there’s no one in that room that would think any less of my guitar tone and playing. What context are you using yours?

Thank you! I have some music on Spotify/iTunes you can check out as well. Be Well!

IN comparison to what? Are you listening on nice speakers or a phone? Certainly, listening through computer speakers does not compare to being in the room with a nice classical guitar.

@@GregoryGuay I listen with headphones ATH-M50x Audio-Technica. You're right, we can't compare that with the room with a nice classical guitar. Kremona is a just ok guitar, nothing more. It's a small-body guitar with a Fishman that's a really bad piezzo system for nylons guitars and just ok for folks. Godin Multiac and his RMC system with privilege for the high mids and his plastic sound is not understandable. Really the worst. Ruben Flores, a small scale, soft guitar, is the least adapted guitar in this world to put a K&K, which is a good pickup, but has an excess of bass that needs an external preamp, try using a Para Acoustic DI Preamp , for example, so you can cut unwanted frequencies. Listen to the sound on a decent phone, it's an infinite bass wave. The Canadian luthier's guitar has two openings. One on the guitar bowl and another on the side, everything that an electroacoustic guitar doesn't need because it's the main reason for feedback. Even the LR Baggs system couldn't get a good sound. I would like to know which LR Baggs pickup is this, is it the Anthem? Finally, a modeling preamp really is the ultimate sin. What's the point of having a good guitar, with a wrong system and an unrealistic preamp? As said above, Para LR BAGGS would be a good choice for you. A pity because the AER is a good amplifier. I want you to know that it's nothing against you, it's just my opinion about it. The man went to the moon but he couldn't get a good acoustic guitar amplification system. I use, by way of elimination, a Yamaha NCX 1200R because the transducers are good and the guitar is built and (some places deafened) for the stage. I also have a 1972 Di Giorgio with K&K but I use it with an LR Baggs preamplifier. For very big stages, I have a Godin but I hate her, and at the end of every show I need some analysis sessions with my psychiatrist. Yamaha gave me these transducers which unfortunately are not sold on the market. They are the size of a Coca Cola cap, each, and are installed inside next to the saddle of the guitar, one in the bass and one in the treble. They are much more resistant to feedback because they are built in a different way. They are not exactly glued to the wood, they have a small protection in wood even that avoids the aggressive sound. I intend to use this but I still haven't found the ideal guitar. I even thought about a classic nylon Do Souto 1938 that I have but I'm afraid to travel with it. I need one that American Airlines can destroy on the trip lol

Sept. 8 at New Realm Brewery on DI!

It is better with little mistakes: real music.

I have seen many performances of this work. The artist here plays the tremolo in the second cord thruought the minor mode part. This is exactly the digitation I have in may score, probably Tarrega's original.

Thanks for the comment. I agree - but I like the Aura 20/80, as do most digital modelers on acoustic guitars. Of course, the guitar, the personal finger tone, and amplifier are more important than any modeler - I think! I have some music on Spotify/iTunes you can check out as well. Be Well!

Thank you

yeah - that's my 'baby'! I don't like to play her outside or even carry her around unless I know it's the right environment. However, the big responsive solid top acoustic will feedback before the others do so I only use it for a little live audio support. I still prefer acoustic mic for recording though. Thank you! I have some music on Spotify/iTunes you can check out as well. Be Well!

Yeah it's pretty amazing. I do not use it for a lot of gigs but prefer it for playing with my high energy latin band. This is the one guitar that will NOT feedback (as much as the others would) when LOUDspeakers are used).

Hey Nick - how's it going? I sold that guitar and do miss it a bit! I have some music on Spotify/iTunes you can check out as well. Be Well!

@@GregoryGuay Ooh ! The link please

Loud enough for what, though? Some of the nicest guitars still struggle to be heard. Kremona will sound wimpy against a $10,000 hand made classical but it's probably louder than a full bodies cheap student Yamaha, for instance. The Kremona is SOLID TOP spruce, so that helps a lot. I finally put some new strings on it, I haven't used the Kremona in over a year....just can't bring myself to sell it though!

@@GregoryGuay loud enough to play at home without being too boxy. Thanks for your answer.

@@Patxi52 Oh you'll be totally happy with it for that! Esp keep the bass strings fresh and it's plenty clear & loud. I could even use it while singing and it's still good! Check out my Spotify recordings if you get a chance open.spotify.com/artist/3jOlP7NPoiIcbBU6ja6lrO?si=NyzyI8RaTtGltaA5lhFCtw

@@GregoryGuay I did and your classical repertoire is impressive.

K2 is def great for this! What kind of room/space do you have? I've heard a lot of great things about this Shure SM7b that is a little less detailed and a diverse mic that's better for home studios that don't have the perfect room. I think the price is better too! Check out my release on Spotify w/ vocals for SPANISH MOSS: open.spotify.com/artist/4OxYaR0zVMxtMq9Eg4DFw1?si=JSfOABioS9u5RGdAtBtWVQ

@@GregoryGuay Hey man. I actually have both the k2 and sm7b in my studio. At first, I used the k2 all the time but I actually prefer the sm7b for vocals now, it's less airy and more modern sounding. The k2 is actually really good for drum overheads I have found , if you can afford a pair.

@@ciantisdall good to know- I think it’s time I purchase one, especially for some of my hard rock type vocals. Although, I heard that Hetfield simply uses a 58 in the studio when he records. I’ll have to research that, I guess it’s all in the preamp and mixing after that. I do like my Octava MC012 for overheads

1) you are the one lacking in respect right here. 2) if your pride is bruised by a mask that’s OK, but I don’t mind wearing one for a decent paying gig. 3) when was your last decent paying gig? 4) I sub-contract teach music at a kindergarten school twice per week and I’m happy to oblige to their ‘masks on for guests’ safety policy. It allows me to share music. 5) I have plenty of self respect.

@@GregoryGuay paying gig? It's been well over 10 years since I was in a band or anything, I just have a regular nine-to-five job and have for quite a few years, it's great after working and pizza restaurants and warehouses and crap like that for ever. I'm actually the only employee besides the owner, pretty cushy gig if you call it a gig. I support your right to wear your muzzle if you choose to what I don't support is technocratic overlords telling you to do it whether you want to or not. Get with it dude.

Thank you very much Andre. I'm trying to release some more music and clean up my RUclips channel here. I do have a much finer recording of the Regondi and more on my Spotify account: Gregory Guay, classical guitar. Cheers.

Never heard of the bodyrez, I have a ntx3, I will check that out.

Thank you James! It speaks volumes when a rock bands music carries itself so well in an instrumental arrangement! I"d like to do a lot more of Pink Floyd. Stay tuned for more!

The thin Kremona? Definitely not traditional flamenco but I"m sure a gigging flamenco guitarist would enjoy it.

@@GregoryGuay ah that’s what I wanted to hear . I was actually worried I would not like it because it’s not flamenco .

Glad you appreciated it. Takes years to develop and experiment with guitars, pickups, amps....just to get a simple 'classical' or hybrid sound. I"ve played more and more with a latin band @boxofstrings #cajadecuerdas and this has allowed me to put the Godin through some effects processors as well. However, when it comes to a simple traditional classical sound - I do not regret drilling a whole in my $6,000 Dominelli guitar. Sounds AMAZING when I need to plug in for a concert. What did you decide to do w/ the Cervantes?

Thanks for the follow up. Still haven’t pulled the trigger on a pickup. Hearing good things about the barbera soloist though. There’s a shop in North Carolina that puts that pick up in Cordoba GK pros and sells them new. May go that route. No hurry right now as live music had dried up a bit in my town due to COVID-19
