  • (played for 22 years) - those look pretty cool. I wonder if they sound as neat as they look.

    I'm pretty sure my wife got this for me for Christmas. [digitech.com]

    • okay... i've been around the guitar scene... i have a recording studio... i've played for about 17 years... i have an american made standard sg... i have a marshall jcm2000 with a 1969 cabinet... and i've also been a recording musician for about 14 years... and i have to say... that *every* pedal i've _ever_ played through sounds like pure shit.

      no, i'm not kidding. every pedal distortion i've ever played with sounds like thin fuzzy shit. i will not ever use a pedal for actual work.

      the *only* way... for me a
      • Sounds like you've earned it to me :-)

        I'm not a regular player so I was just admiring the beauty of the packaging....

      • 1. I don't record, and I barely play live anymore
        2. When I do, I actually like my tone live. Even with a distortion pedal.
        3. All I play, and want to play, is rock/metal. Ozzy, Megadeth, etc. (yes I know a lot of Stryper too)
        4. I have two electrics - a Jackson stealth and a Jackson Rhoads - the definitive metal guitars are Jacksons. At least, they were, because growing up, every guitarist I idolized played them, and now I do.
        5. The people that comprise my audience aren't listenting too much to the tone,
        • ah, see now i understand. jacksons. metal. gotcha. i could never get into that sound. hell, one of the main reasons i got so into hardcore was the guitar tone that is traditionally associated with hardcore... a more natural "older/vintage" tone (because most of the guitarists couldn't afford new gear so they just went with whatever they could find in pawn shops or in the used shops... and back in the early to mid 80's when hardcore was forming its sound... that was older vintage tube amps because that was a
          • I try to play 11,492 notes during my solos. ;)

            but... you really should record though. musicians record. it helps your playing. makes you think of the bigger picture... not just your corner of the musical universe... and the more understanding you have of what else if going on... the better you get at what your job is. well, that's just my opinion... but i've been at it long enough that i've come to that opinion after *lots* of experience.

            When I think of record, to me it usually means recording something

  • Wow. Those things look impressive. All of the text on that page is foreign to me, but the pictures almost made me drool.

    Let us know how much it rocks if you do get one :-)
  • I just started in March, I'm still looking for a good $30 - $60 pedal. $269 looks great but outside my ability currently.

    I'm still trying to get down the D - C - G cord change. (I'm trying to learn "The Seeker" by the Who.)

    Speaking of which I should be practicing.

  • but I'd rather have this [native-instruments.com].
  • but i am fascinated by the pedals of metasonix [metasonix.com]. they also have some special limited edition pedals for that "special" sound.
  • but when I play, I prefer to hear any guitar unamped and without a pick :)
