One Guitar and 2 L1®s

2008-10-16T04:27:35Z

Rwj:

After doing a concert with Larry Lambert at the Bose Corporate Center auditorium in January, 2008, Ken Jacob asked me to write about my one guitar-2 L1 setup used in the program. Here is my response to his request.

My Grand Auditorium Taylor guitar came with the taylor ES pickup system which has a lovely preset on the T1. to add some tonal variety, I had an L.R. Baggs imix system installed. The imix consists of an undersaddle piezo pickup and a soundboard transducer. The two pickups can be blended or switched to stereo mode and made to send out two separate signals. The Taylor and the baggs each has its own endpin jack on the guitar.

At the show in Framingham, I sent the Taylor signal into channel 3 on the T1 and from the preamp out on channel 3 to a T1 and L1 positioned stage right. To that signal we added the proper preset and a little bit of chorus.

The blended Baggs signal was plugged in channel 2 of the T1 mounted on my mic stand. That signal, mixed with my vocal mic, was sent to an
L1 positioned stage left. That signal used the basic piezo preset with a little eq and nothing else.

Since the signals were totally independent, there was no problem with a dual mono situation and the resultant phasing problems.
Larry was so patient as we worked through all of this. I had experimented with it back home but had never used it in a live performance.
It took some time, but all who heard it were pretty excited with the sound.

Because of the wide pattern of the L1s, the sound stage was very big. Also the addition of a chorus on one side gave additional depth to the sound. Again, because of the independence of the signals, you could hear the effect from anywhere in the room. It really did sound like two "bad" guitarists playing exactly the same notes but with a really BIG sound.

If I were to take this idea to its (logical?) conclusion, I would add a third L1, split the baggs pickup, put my vocal mic in the center L1 with baggs element and send the baggs transducer signal to the L1 on stage left. The Taylor signal would stay stage right.
Whoa! I'm getting dizzy.

It's a little crazy to try something like this for the first time in a live show, but it really was a lot of fun. Having those Bose brains there to help make it happen didn't hurt either.

I'm sure my A.D.D. contributes to my desire to try these kinds of things, but I enjoy the hunt for something a little different sometimes.

The truth is, and Larry proved it in his set, there is nothing better than one guy, one guitar, one L1, a great voice, some great songs, and a lot of heart. You should have heard him!

Since I bought the L1 one to simplify my stage setup and since one does sound so good, I rarely use the 2l1 setup.

But, if you happen to have 2 or 3 L1s................................

have fun,

Rick Jordan

Update 10/15/08

I just finished entertaining a group of about 500 at a conference near Gatlinburg, Tn. I used one L1 system with 2 b1s and the Tonematch module. It covered the room beautifully.
I received many compliments on the sound, sold a lot of cds, and was paid very well. A traditional triple system was set up and used by some other musicians and it sounded quite good, but I'll still take my L1
any day. Using 2 L1s would have been nice but I was very pleased with just one. Thanks Bose.

"

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

== Equipment Provided ==
Many of the people who might be driving volunteered to bring gear.

** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

(Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

Pictures of Geneva Hall added today, 3-17-08.

Quoting Eve-at-Bose<ref name="Eve" /> (referring to the site map above)
:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

:RV's are fine. He has a space with electric and water hook up, but not sewer.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

(Gary the Manager) said he'll let you guys use this room for free for your performances. It's actually 2 35'x36' foot rooms that used to have a wall between them, but the wall got knocked down, and there are some bathrooms built at either side, so that the opening is only 16' wide, but he said he uses it as one big banquet room (35'x72'). "

* Another option is the Geneva Hall nearby. The Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate). See John Sweets detailed notes: <br />Called Switzerland Inn - spoke to nice man named Jack.
** Jack said Geneva Hall can be rented for $150 to $200 day. (probably weekend vs weekday rate).
** Their standard rooms rates on weekends are (for mountain view) $110 / night to $170 / night for a larger room with two queens.
** They discount the rooms (with a booking of 20 or more rooms) $30 on weekdays. (Sunday - Thursday).
** They can provide all meals and offer full bar service. Every Friday night they have a Prim Rib and Seafood buffet. Or, if we had 75 people or more, they'd provide the buffet for us exclusively some other evening. They can do things like "three menu option" meals as well.

==== Geneva Hall ====
[[Image:Geneva Hall 001 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]
[[Image:Geneva Hall 008 (Medium).jpg|thumb]]

Geneva Hall is a country meeting hall. It is all wood. Wood floors, walls, ceiling. Approximate dimensions are 30x60. There are approximately 50 metal fold-up chairs. There is a small raised stage in one corner. It is raised approximately 8". There is a kitchen and refrigerator. We could provide beverage services. We do have a nice patio on the lobby of the lodge; it is not covered.

:There is a good variety of rooms and prices. For those who want to save money and go more rustic, there is #19 (Edelweiss) which has 8 bedrooms for $50 each. The A-Frames are so cute, and there are more apartment type accommodations. He said that you can take $20 off whatever rate you see on the site. Right now there is no one else booked there.

Update:
The rate is now '''$30 off''' whatever you see on the site. You must mention that you are with the Bose group.

=== Cliff Henricksen Band ===
A note from Cliff-at-Bose

I'm delighted to announce that The Entire Cliff Henricksen Band will arrive at the Spring Conference in Ashville. Players are as follows:

* Tom Beier, drums and vocals (Tom is a Bose employee and a great drummer and singer)
* Tom Yates, guitar and vocals (Tom is winner of GC's "King of the Blues" national contest, I think 3 times, sings lead too)
* GW Jenkins, bass and vocals (GW is playing a Steinberger Synapse bass, best definition we found yet)
* Me, keys and vocal

When we're all playing and singing, it's a really full and rich 8-instrument presentation. I'm so pleased this worked out and I think it will be a real treat for everyone. As always, our show will be very dynamic, kid-safe and not too loud.

We'll be doing a complete set of original tunes for you, including a walk-on announcement, time slot tbd (Ken). MikeZ asked if we could be lab rats for an in-process solo v/s ensemble tone workshop, including an all-invited onstage walk-about. I'm also in the final stages of possibly organizing a very exciting workshop on making your musical enterprise more valuable (can you say "sales"?), including a surprise guest.

== Equipment Provided ==
Many of the people who might be driving volunteered to bring gear.

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

== Detailed Descriptions of Some Agenda Items ==

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Please add your name (& instrument/s) to the list if you would like to have a custom preset/s created at the conference.

* Steve Dey (acoustic guitar, Dobro)

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

== Getting to Cuchara ==

=== Google Maps and Directions from Nearby Airports ===

== Weather (What to Wear) ==

The weather can vary quite a bit at this time of year. Here's a historic temperature average I found:

* The Average High Temperature is 62 F with a historical range of 48 F to 71 F.
* The Average Low Temperature is 42 F with a historical range of 35 F to 48 F.

It is usually dry & sunny with little wind.

The altitude is 7100 feet, so expect mountain weather.

== Things to Do in the Area ==

There are lots of things for you & your family to do in the area. Check out these websites for information. We may be able to get some special group rates on train rides on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad. The area is beautiful in a different way than most expect for Colorado.

[http://www.sangres.com/places/huerfano/cuchara.htm Sangres.com] Loads of information about the area.

[http://www.southerncoloradohomes.com/HTML_Documents/area.htm Southern Colorado Homes] Lots more information -- art galleries, hiking, horseback riding and more.

[http://www.alamosatrain.com/ Rio Grande Scenic Railroad] Historic train from La Veta to Alamosa.

[http://celticmusicfest.com/ Celtic Music Festival] A well known Celtic music festival starts the Thursday before our conference that some folks may want to attend. Some of these musicians will probably join us on Monday. Their last event is Sunday night - a big Celtic jam that goes late into the night.

=== Custom ToneMatch™ Presets: Cliff Henricksen ===

Tone Freaks: Let's TWEAK!

One of my activities at this conference will be making custom ToneMatch(TM) filters for individual artists. Bring your instrument(s) and we'll get the tone you want, I guarantee it (ever see "Mens' Warehouse" commercials on TV?). The exact manifestation of this is unknown at present but the path to the answer is in motion. At worse, we'll get the tone and it will be posted in a few weeks after the conference for download to the T1. At best, it will show up on your own T1. I'll have 3 or 4 of the EQ's I've done all the TM stuff with, so we can a/b/c. Maybe we'll do a Fall 2007 ToneMatch(TM) collection and post it for download.

''' Custom ToneMatch™ Preset '''

Pre-selected songs featuring a rhythm section and one or more featured players/singers.

Please submit song ideas in the section below. Through the message board, we'll work on which songs will put on the final list and which players are assigned to the songs.

Some of the songs will be chosen so as to encourage large group participation. Others will be chosen for smaller ensemble performances.

==== Rhythm section (to be selected by organizers) ====

Please add your name to the list if you would like to be considered for the rhythm section. With advance apologies, we may not be able to accomodate everyone.

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys. This way we can sub out all night as needs arise. A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.
