Quick thoughts on Keith Scott

Keith Scott is, IMHO, a criminally underated guitarist. Great tone, feel, and delivers the goods live! Read my thoughts on Substack!

I recently made a video for Equipboard, doing a review and demonstration of the Boss PX-1. Technical details, addressing some myths, and a play-through of all 16 effects. Please enjoy and share!

Also, once you have the pedals you want loaded in, technically there's no need to connect the app after that. Just turn on and go!

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Sep 18

Having spent time with the pedal, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. No Roland Cloud subscription needed (though you do need to register to use the app, all of which is free), additional pedals will be available for a one-time fee (and are optional), and is a good swiss-army-knife pedal.

Boss SY-1 Sythesizer - Review + Demo

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Feb 27

I just reviewed the Boss Sy-1 synthesizer pedal for Equipboard. Great think about it is that it tracks notes with the guitar’s pickups. Not entirely MIDI, but a bit of a gateway without hassle.

A song that I played on and produced. Worked with some killer musicians on this as well, including the lovely and talented Chanté! Have a listen!

Because your tuner has a buffer, best to put the fuzz first in the chain. If you switch the buffer off on the tuner, you might get away with the fuzz after. Typical rule of thumb for fuzz is that it wants to see the guitar first and nothing else.

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Jan 8

I have the non-MIDI version and love it!

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Jan 8

Hi! Guitarist and guitar teacher here! Really cool sound! What’s the pedal?

Caveat: I come from a DIY background.

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Jan 6

If from the side of the stage, quite a bit. If a CD cost $5 to manufacture and sold for $20, it’s $15 in profit there.

Spotify demonetises all songs with less than 1,000 streams

Kevin Daoust @guitarswithkd.bsky.social · Jan 5

Citing my sources… www.euronews.com/culture/2024...

Under the new policy, more than 60 percent of tracks will not rack up any royalties.

Let’s not forget that Spotify also demonetized most of its catalog. If you have less than 1,000 plays, no money for that song.
