Can anyone recommend me a sweet delay pedal? I was looking at the MXR Carbon Copy, but I really have no clue. I'm looking to have a good solo tone a la David Gilmour.

From the product description of the Carbon Copy: The Carbon Copy effect pedal will take you from crisp "bathroom" slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. I think it might be the right pedal for you.

Hey Agreed, better grab some Aspirin because you're about to have a heart attack: "OpenStomp Coyote-1 open-source guitar pedal now shipping" http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/25/openstomp-coyote-1-open-source-guitar-pedal-now-shipping/

Oh, poo poo, I want one of those. That's even cooler than the Line6 one in the works. drat drat drat, that's hot! I need to check out its full specs, but I have a feeling this is going to be absolutely huge when some talented people get their hands on it.

Uh... I wonder if the makers of OpenStomp are going to cry when someone tells them about FPGAs. You could probably churn out the same pedals using FPGA technology for about $50, if that. And they'd be capable of far more stuff. I actually kind of want to do that now, because it seems really loving easy.

I just picked up a pretty lovely drumkit for free from my buddy. It's a TRAK kit, with busted skins, no cymbals and it looks like the sides of the drums are warped. I'll take another picture when I can get my mitts on a camera, but I'm just going to wonder if the warpage is going to render the set useless. It looks like someone left it out in the sun or something. I didn't even get them to play, I just want to learn how to tune them.

It's a ZVEX seekwah. Those aren't buttons, they're knobs. Each knob is like the pot in a wah pedal. You set the knobs to whatever frequency you like and the pedal steps through them, giving you some whacked out sounds in the process.

Schatten posted:Oh baby! Awesome pedal! The link you posted is for the ooh wah, which is pretty much the same thing, just that it includes an option to step between the little wah circuits in a random pattern. The seek wah only goes in a linear fashion I am excited about it. I wonder if it has an on-off LED? Some of the older ZVEX stuff doesnt seem to have on-off LEDs. Anyone out there have one of these that can confirm it for me?

Yesterday: "Man it would be great if there was like little mini midi controllers of individual parts instead of having them all bundled into one unit" Today: http://www.dv247.com/news/KorgNanoSeries/131777 I'll probably have to see if I can play around with them but they're an alright price assuming the build quality is OK so I'll probably pick at least one up.

Just the case. It's a Jackson case that normally goes for $115 and I managed to get one on clearance for $25 at Guitar Center today because it was a little scratched up. Go figure.

Here's my new practice amp. It has some mold growing on the inside, and you have to set the treble in one exact place to make it work, but other than that it's great!

Speaking of open source pedals- line 6 is selling one also, and theirs is dirt cheap- 200 bucks for the software, the dock (which looks like one of their compact pedals), and a module, and additional modules are 35 bucks. Looks pretty awesome. Check it out.

I made a couple of additions to my drumset yesterday: Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute  The guy who had this before stole it from the shop and carved his initials into it. You can see them in the pic. It's basically a new snare with those letters carved into it, and the shop knocked $170 off the normal price because of it. It's an amazing sounding snare, with a thick, warm tone that sounds good no matter how it's tuned. Zildjian K Custom 20" Medium Ride  Got this as an alternative to my A Custom Ping Ride. It's a nice change after that ride. This one is much darker and less overpowering. My Current Drumset  It's a Yamaha Stage Custom set with mostly A Custom cymbals.

The programmable analog stuff is really expensive and is relatively primitive.

The programmable analog stuff is really expensive and is relatively primitive. I know what FPGAs are by virtue of using them. The wikipedia link was just convenient. The point is that you can make an FPGA operate on signals in a quasi-analog state since it's virtual hardware that's doing the work. You can effectively model analog circuits within the FPGA and switch them around in software and go between pathways by using switches attached to inputs on the processor. Instead of programmatically modifying the signal as DSPs do, you just cobble together virtual bits of "hardware" into a virtual circuit. It's not technically analog, but it's not the same as what a DSP does either, and it'd be way easier to do far more diverse things. Also pretty easy to make stuff that didn't work if you didn't know what you were doing. You could also write a DSP into an FPGA, of course, but I have no idea why you'd do that. This link briefly talks about the sort of thing I'm referring to. It's basically creating a digital simulation circuit inside of pseudo-hardware so you get a quasi-analog sort of deal going.
