Get a mountain bike and start riding transmission line service roads. The corona effect effect around the low spots might goose you along a bit.

I have a couple amps, a Fishman acoustic,, a Line 6 modeling amp, and a LE Blues Jr. With Cannibus speaker. And, a handful of guitars.
Excuse the room mess. We pulled all the Xmas decor into that room from the attic, and haven't cleaned it up yet.

You usually have to be directly under the wires near their lowest point. I kinda doubt those have enough sag to get ya. Maybe if you stood on the roof of that green structure...

We have a room upstairs that has attic on three sides, and the fourth shares a wall with the entry area. Its insulated really well, and with the door closed its pretty sound proof. We use it as a media room, and its where the kids hung out with their friends when they lived here.
I have a couple amps, a Fishman acoustic,, a Line 6 modeling amp, and a LE Blues Jr. With Cannibus speaker. And, a handful of guitars.

I've been using my Dad's old Epiphone acoustic for a long time but someday I'll get my own. When that day comes a Breedlove is on the short list. I've loved every one I've had the chance to play.
I just a few minutes ago finished setting things up so that I can use one pedalboard with both my guitar and bass amp. The tricky part was that something is wrong with the Peavey's effect loop send so it's being used as a power amp + reverb only at the moment and I am using the black "P2" pedal as my guitar pre-amp.
The signal comes into the red POG through the dirt pedals and volume pedal into the big grey box at the top. From there it has two different routes, one straight to the GK bass amp input, and one that goes into a switchable loop with the VT bass and P2 preamp, then on to the Boss tremolo and all the time pedals and back into either the Peavey or GK effect loop return depending on which one it's plugged in to.
I only want to use the P2 as the pre-amp for my guitar, I want the bass signal to go into the GK pre-amp, so the grey box has a bunch of passive switching that allow me to bring the preamp pedals into the effect loop chain if I want them. I have the P2 and VT bass on a switched loop so when I'm playing my bass those preamp pedals aren't in the post-preamp chain of the GK. Last piece of the puzzle is an additional A/B switch so that I can take out the P2 pedal if I want and run the VT bass into the GK effect loop return bypassing the GK preamp. At the moment the P2 is always acting as a guitar pre-amp, and doesn't sound super on bass.
Took me a while to figure out how to do this.
The other switches on the grey box were from when I used it as the Peavey footswitch, they're for channel select, boost select, and reverb on/off. Only the reverb one is hooked up at the moment.
I hope that made sense.
Roughly:
Some isolation switching not shown.

I've enjoyed corona effect twice this year. I didn't sense increased performance but I did hurry to get from under the lines!
These were the worst. A little ways west of here, the Maricopa trail goes perpendicular to the lines, under them at very near their lowest point. I was zapping and tingling all the way across!

When we were standing under the wires the day before Thanksgiving I could feel tingling when I touched my seatpost.

When I was young, we surveyed with steel 100’ tapes. Tingling while working near high voltage was fairly common.

Nice little group there, you've certainly covered a lot of the different guitar flavors. Can't go wrong with a Blues Jr, either, and that covering is sweet
I've been using my Dad's old Epiphone acoustic for a long time but someday I'll get my own. When that day comes a Breedlove is on the short list. I've loved every one I've had the chance to play.
I just a few minutes ago finished setting things up so that I can use one pedalboard with both my guitar and bass amp. The tricky part was that something is wrong with the Peavey's effect loop send so it's being used as a power amp + reverb only at the moment and I am using the black "P2" pedal as my guitar pre-amp.

From there it has two different routes, one straight to the GK bass amp input, and one that goes into a switchable loop with the VT bass and P2 preamp, then on to the Boss tremolo and all the time pedals and back into either the Peavey or GK effect loop return depending on which one it's plugged in to.

Last piece of the puzzle is an additional A/B switch so that I can take out the P2 pedal if I want and run the VT bass into the GK effect loop return bypassing the GK preamp. At the moment the P2 is always acting as a guitar pre-amp, and doesn't sound super on bass.
Took me a while to figure out how to do this.
The other switches on the grey box were from when I used it as the Peavey footswitch, they're for channel select, boost select, and reverb on/off. Only the reverb one is hooked up at the moment.
I hope that made sense.Someday I'll draw the schematic out. Mostly to help me in the future

Everyone needs a tube screamer. Many folks can't carry a tune in a bag, so I imagine an analog chorus would be lost on them

Can we talk about one of EHX's most iconic pedals on here? Or is Big Muff talk verboten?
