Got a pedalboard for Christmas! Much more convenient than stuffing my pedals in the back of my amp to take 'em places.

Handen posted:You're telling me... I didn't think they'd be THIS big! That's loving hysterical. And I thought I needed stands. But yeah, right now they're on my desk until I get back to my apartment from my parent's place, and it looks totally ridiculous. 8" monitors on a desk are no good. It's a real pain in the rear end to keep having to slide my chair back three feet to get in the sweet spot.

Hahaha, thats exactly the reason I went with the RP5's, I just don't have enough drat room! I am ready to pull the trigger on an RP10s though, so it might be a challenge to find some floor space for that behemoth...

MrLonghair posted:The DDD5 meanwhile is fun, I know how to play and record patterns and songs and save them but not how to do step sequencing. It's likely to be sold if I need money because of how much of a bother it is. Step sequencing on the DDD-5 is pretty easy but I haven't played with mine in ages so I don't remember the exact details. I think there were two faceplates that came with it for "performance" and "programming" or some such. I know that you can go in step by step through the measure and tweak individual values with the slider but I don't remember the exact buttons. The DDD-5 was one of my very first pieces of gear and was a lot of fun to jam out with, although the drum samples are MAD 80s sounding. Gotta love the bass slaps though.

Col.Kiwi posted:Neat. I love how're already justifying this purchase in the face of what you said a few days ago before anyone has called you on it yet. I'll say it first just to get it out of the way: You have GAS. There. Please don't stop or anything. Here you go.  Rather than mic up my THD Univalve and 4x12 Trace Elliot cab, I made a patch that sounds just like it with Amplitube 2's THD Bivalve model. With X-Gear, I can host all the various models, cabs, mics, pedals and rack effects in one interface, so I'm using one of Amplitube Metal's 4x12 Marshall cabs, and mic'ing each one up with the Condenser 12 from Amplitube Jimi Hendrix. Bass on this track is amped through Ampeg SVX. I had this song idea kicking around last night and decided to track a rough version of it. So here it is. Lead track is mostly solid, one or two notes that sound a little out of place but I was just improvising. Edit for clarification: The pedal is on the lead track, which is panned slightly right. The rhythm track, which is panned slightly left, is just the Amplitube 2 Bivalve. Wah into this pedal is what really kills me, it's got this great, growly Time Machine-esque live Satriani sound to it. Wish my playing was up to the standard. I love this pedal, definitely going to leave it hooked up to the front of my DI for further use. Agreed fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Dec 27, 2008 |

My browser's shat itself twice trying to post this for some reason. Anyway, boxing day, you make great deals right? Gemini Executioner/KL 19 rack mounted killswitch mixer, a lot of fun and compared to my old Behringer 802 mixer it has disgustingly good SNR ratio. I learn new tricks every time I fiddle around with it, it's great for my setup with a RM1x sequencer doing drums & lead on one channel and a 303 clone on the other - fades, kills hi/mid/low, boostfilters and the lot. I was surprised, these are useful to more people than just vinyl/cd/mp3 spinner types after all, and only a few hours into owning it it's taught me a bunch of new tricks for recording and live performance of electronic music and the hiphop I'm writing. 30€ with just one knob top missing  going by a google search, that's goodh_double posted:

Col.Kiwi posted:Cool sound, has a nice smooth dirt to it. If you use that patch with the pedal on bypass is it completely clean? The pedal is transparent when bypassed. It is not, however, true bypass. On the rhythm track, i'm still going through the pedal, bypassed. I leave it plugged into my DI full time, it'll be in the chain for my vox comparison coming tomorrow. Very cool pedal!

JohnnySmitch posted:It's one of 4 'collector' guitars that Gretsch brought out, and they started off selling them at $150 a pop. I guess they sold like poo poo, because they ended up on Overstock.com @ $50 each, then $30 when it was down to only 2 of the designs left.     They actually sold really well, but I guess were just a one-off production run. By all accounts, the usual cheap-guitar fixes (better nut, bridge, tuners & strings) make these into great little players.

Rashomon posted:Hey JEM buddy! I have a 555 (that I'm actually kind of trying to sell), but they are unique guitars that play really well, and I also am a fan of the neck profile (super thin and wide). I'm sure the high end series is even more awesome, although I have to say I prefer the black hardware to the gold. Especially because when the warranty ends on this thing I'm going to tarnish the hardware, trade for a 555 neck (they're the same thickness, right?), and maybe grab a pickup that loves distortion as much as I do. Until then, I'm not going to bring a screwdriver within 10 feet of it.

I blew out my last amp (a piece of crap 30 Watt Fender), so I went down to the local music shop to see what they had and found this thing used for $150.

Hartley Peavey and Scott Mire are probably too busy swimming around in a big pool of money like Scrooge McDuck to wonder whether their logo could use a touch of class.

Jesus tapdancing christ. I do not know what exactly happened to the UK pound, all I know is that the digital piano I've been diligently saving up for is suddenly 400 euros cheaper in the UK than in Germany. I'm not even counting on the pound dropping further lest some music store dealer gets the idea that they should jack up the prices to profit from those stingy Dutchmen, but I will call tomorrow to see if they are willing to ship a Roland FP7 here and accept IBAN/BIC bank transfers.

Ok guys someone talk me out of this because I spent way too much money on music already this past month but goddamn I am itching to go pick up either this: or this:  tomorrow. Been playing them at the music shop for a week and the tone is just amazing on both guitars. Oh well I guess I will be 2k poorer tomorrow..

I'm strongly thinking of trading in my '05 Epiphone Sheraton II in favor of a Casino. Is this a wise decision? For some reason I don't think humbuckers are my thing (it's taken 3 years of playing to realize this)

I don't know if you knew this or if it makes a difference to you.

Pablo Gigante posted:Yeah, I'm aware of this too, which I'm kind of looking forward to because a) I'm mostly a rhythm player really, so I don't need much sustain and b) when I do try my hand at lead I like to play around with feedback The big difference I found between the Casino and Sheraton (besides the obvious ones) is that the Casino's neck heel is a lot further up the neck then the Sheraton (about the 9th fret for the Casino vs. 12 for the Sheraton) this means that the Casino neck becomes a lot thicker a lot sooner and makes it difficult to fret bar chords.
