Ibanez Collectors World: New Ibanez Forum
Which has been moved slightly towards the neck. Thanks to these changes, this shape delivers a richer low mids and better body to weight balance, which conventional Auditorium bodies tend to lack. X-M bracing for AAM series After more than two years of trial and error, research, and prototyping, Ibanez developed its proprietary X-M bracing specifically for Advanced Auditorium guitar bodies to produce the ultimate sound for the stage and studio. The carefully designed scalloped X-M bracing, tone braces, and finger braces efficiently transmit string vibration from the bridge to the body. This bracing provides a wide dynamic range and excellent response. The mids are slightly scooped for better tonal balance, and the treble has the clarity of steel strings while retaining the warmth of nylon strings. Low Oval Grip Thermo Aged™ African Mahogany neck with Rounded Fretboard Edge The Low Oval neck grip facilitates easy chord strumming and the Rounded Fretboard Edges deliver superior playability. Thermo Aging, a special drying process, makes the neck light and hard and provides excellent stability and enhanced resonance. Rosewood fretboard Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. Rosewood Scalloped bridge The lightweight, scalloped bridge improves vibration efficiency for better resonance and provides more flexibility in adjusting the action than does a typical bridge. Solid Sitka Spruce top Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. Sapele back and sides Sapele back and sides offer a full-bodied and warm mid-range and a bright tone. Functional Tapered Headstock The newly designed headstock shape is the result of thorough research and investigation. Its tapered shape provides lighter weight, as well as a straight string alignment which enhances tuning stability and reduces any neck twisting effect. Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tuner The Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument’s upper bout. Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup The Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into. Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins These pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin Ibanez Talk - A forum for talk on Ibanez guitars, and lots more.

General Acoustic Guitar Discussion The Acoustic Guitar Forum General not even an intelligent response on the Ibanez forum SW2. The stereo outputs now access the hex fuzz signal directly, and provide access to the pin 25-control line. How can pin 25 be used? In the vintage synth guitar, you can connect a simple SPST toggle switch to pin 25, and ground. Then connect a 1/4" cable from the Pin 25 jack on the GM-70 Turbo output, to foot switch input SW1, or any of the foot switch inputs, such as FS1 , FS2 or SW2. Now you have an additional switch on the guitar that can be assigned to any MIDI continuous control parameter. GM-70 Turbo Video Introduction: 01 -Ibanez IMG2010 with Roland GM-70 Turbo and Roland GR-55 - Highlights on Virtual Whammy Bar The Roland GR-55 is used with a vintage Ibanez IMG0210 and the Roland GM-70 Turbo. The GM-70 Turbo outputs both 13-pin modern controls signals, plus MIDI control messages. This demo highlights the unique virtual whammy bar on the IMG2010. The virtual whammy bar can also be used for more than just pitch bends, like creating expressive voicing for brass swells, etc. 02 - Ibanez IMG2010 with Roland GR-55 and GM-70 Turbo - Tutorial Both the Roland GR-55 and VG-99 offers extensive capabilities to add expressive control through MIDI continuous controllers. Almost any parameter can be controlled remotely via MIDI, and the user can specify the control range, the polarity, and dial in the exact musical effect they want to achieve. This video clips steps through a few examples of MIDI control using the Ibanez IMG2010 guitar, and the GM-70 Turbo with the GR-55. 03 - Ibanez IMG2010 with Roland GR-55 and GM-70 Turbo Features In terms of MIDI continuous control power, the GM-70 remains unmatched. But the pitch-to-MIDI tracking on the GM-70 is slow and woefully inadequate by modern standards. The interface board functions as an integrated Roland BC-13, converting the vintage 24-pin guitar signals into the modern Roland 13-pin format. This enables direct control of modern synths like the GR-55 or VG-99 with a vintage guitar. 04 - GM-70 Turbo - Volume Control Modification - GR-300 Hex Fuzz Demo The specialized Roland BC-13/GM-70 Turbo circuit board also reconfigures the way volume commands are processed. With the original Roland GM-70, you can have 100% synth output and 0% guitar. Or 0% synth, and 100% guitar. Or any mix between, such as 75% synth, and 25% guitar. But not 100% synth, and 100% guitar.
