monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi, I just received a new Godin Montreal, which is beautiful, but I cannot find any help on how the controls adjust the various pickup combinations and what jack to use when??? I tried the Godin website, but couldn't find the info there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 da da DA!!! sorry for the dramatic entrance. anyway i may be able to help. the sliders at the top are for your "Accoustic" pickup. the sliders are as follows (top to bottom) 1. accoustic volume 2. treble (10k) 3. mid range (550 Hz) 4. bass 982 Hz) the knob close to the bridge pickup is the volume for your humbuckers. the knob that is directly behind it is the humbucker/ accoustic blend. the knob that is lower on the body is tone for the humbuckers. i hope this is what you are looking for. you should have gotten a booklet with the guitar. check with the store. i almost forgot , the lower of the two jacks is humbucker only output, the jack closet to the strap pin is the mix for accoustic and humbucker output. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Now I feel foolish, but I found the information just after making the initial post. It was at the Godin site. Like I said earlier the Montreal is an incredible looking and sounding guitar, and I just opened it up an hour ago. If I can help anyone let me know.

monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Man I sold!! I was just making some noise with the Godin and it is incredible!! My Les Paul will be gathering dust (no offence to the Gibson folks). Thanks guitarzan for your hospitality. I don't usually have much time to hang out in chat rooms, but this one may be different.

No offense taken, but since your LP will be gathering dust, I'll be glad to take it off your hands for the price of shipping. Thanks guitarzan for your hospitality.

Guitarzan Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 there is a nice community here to grow with Monkeybong. Hey cosmo, first we make you keep your Les Paul and now you are after someone elses! yes we have done our job well. who's your daddy? GUITAR is your daddy!! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hey cosmo I think I will keep the LP just in case. Sorry I called this a chat room, is the correct verbage "forum"? I listened to the two tracks you listed and I bow to the guitarists feet. The music is not really my thing, but the guitar tone is great and the playing exceptional. I couldn't play that fast if you had a gun to my head. It was cool checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I called this a chat room, is the correct verbage "forum"? No problem. Although some of us (looking around the room and then the mirror) type so fast around here that it appears like a chat room. I listened to the two tracks you listed and I bow to the guitarists feet. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/5/5_3_1.gif WOW! Thank you!! I never expected that. You should maybe get your hearing checked. The music is not really my thing, but the guitar tone is great and the playing exceptional. I couldn't play that fast if you had a gun to my head. It was cool checking it out. It's an "old" acquired taste. FYI it was recorded in 1986 or so and the two solos were done in one continuous take, so I have no idea what I was doing. Come to think of it I still don't know what I'm doing. Anyway, there's a GREAT bunch of people here with an enormous wealth of knowledge. Welcome again!!

monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 My hearing is fine by the way. I was going to say it sounded like Ronnie James Dio singing/style, and I always thought he was cool. I sell cd's on ebay, so I listen to a ton of tunes (95% crap), so I feel I can spot crap when I hear it, and I liked the tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybong Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Duh, I am a little thick. I didn't realize you meant a copy to sell.

monkeybong Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Guitarzan, Thanks for the offer. I really don't understand the hosting thing. I need to reinstall my digital camera software so I can get a pic of my guitar. My hardrive died on me last week, so I am starting over. Sauce- Thanks for the welcome. Seems like there are a bunch of cool guitarnuts here. I never liked chat rooms/forums, because they seemed full of people talking about nonsense and inside jokes, and I never felt welcome.
