The Boss multi's are good. I had a gt5 and thought the the sounds where ace. However, I did find that I ended up using only 9-10 of the patches (which I edited myself) so felt that I was under using the units abilities. I ended up selling the unit and getting a few single pedals which I felt was going to be enough for me.

To be honest I felt that a unit with 150 user patches is a bit much. If you go for a multi-fx bear that in mind and go for one with fewer patches and save a bit of money.

Personally' date=' I would save your money until you know exactly what sound you want. Each amp gives you a differnet sound and if you have a specific sound in your head that you after, there is certain gear available to give you that sound.

Faililng that, maybe try for ENGL screamer 50 combo from ebay.

Or a peavey classic 30 although that is a less 'hardcore' amp.[/quote']

The Classic 30 is a great amp and if you can get the matching ext cab it really sounds good. I used one of these with a Metal Zone 2 for a while and it did the metal sound thing very well.

Quote: Flash @TMB ...I don't see what the problem is with Tom's 3 hour deal either, actually sounds like a quite good thing to me. It's helping bands.

Good price!!!! Pity I'm broke;(

Pro Series Wah by Morley

Gigged but in good nick.

30 quid.

Cheers

Ony luck yet snake?

i can imagine' date=' it has a massive input impedance aswell, i think it's designed to sit right infront of a tube amp with nothing else inline.[/quote']

Tried few times with my Wyllie Moon Rock....oh my god!!! What a racket, not quite feedback or anything, just a hellava racket;(

Just in the front of the amp is sweet though;)

Does anyone know if there is a web site which has all info on the features shown guitarist mags etc.

I'm going there my old issues and thinking about putting the main features, tabs, reviews etc onto the PC rather than looking inside the front cover of everyone of them to find the review I was looking for.

Just a thought.

cheers

So called because it's "super hard" on your amp.

Really?

I will say that the SHO is very fussy about where is goes in the line up. It can boost some of the other pedals way too much which causes a right racket!

I've still got two for sale

I've sent you a PM.

thanks

Geezo! I'm still baffled by all that stuff, i'm barely past a 4 track. Our bass player is more into that side of things.

Well if you send a good recording im not speaking about overdubs to a venue then you would have a better chance of getting booked. At least this helps you get in the door in the first place.

Is it not about promoting your self in the first place.

Here is a recording of my band we sound crap and are crap will you give us a gig? NO

I think the 3 hour deal in toms is a means to an end. Yes, the sound is sometimes not just right, and it's down to the studio guy to mix it while he goes. This might not be really the best sound for the band members, ie bass too loud, drums weak etc etc.. However, it gives people who are not studio wise a chance to get into a studio and put down tracks. We did this, with some of the results mentioned above.

What we ended up with was 22 songs to chose from to put on to a cd for handing out to pubs. When doing so we could in truth say that this is what we sound like live. Not 6 layers of guitars etc and a fancy production to fool the venue owners into thinking they were getting the NE version of U2 etc etc.

Hurray for Toms 3hrs deals;)

Where and when?

Cheers

What is he looking to change to? I have some nice vintage gear he might like:up:

Guitar or Bass vintage gear...or both?

Cheers

Have you thought of a Zvex Super Hard On, or now known as a SHO. I got one and they the boost the signal by 20db. They have components from old recording/mixing desk inside and this is why the boost is so clean.

If it's used with a higher gain setting the actual volume increase is not so pronounced, but it fattens up the sound great.

I used my one in the effects loop sometimes and it has the effects of give any sound being used at time a massive boost.

But I still prefer it through the front end for that fattening effect it has.

That's a fair point. How would school be if a teacher said I don't like Math, so I'm not going to show you how to do it.

cume two thynk off it, that's wot appened in mi engliss clas.

You can always store your Les Pauls (and your Tele) at my house.

Good company for the Marshall I borrowed from you earlier in the week!

Presumably this reply doesn't really help.

Thanks for the offer David.....but I don't think so! You had my half stack of a year before I even saw it again. Anyway you just moan about them being too heavy etc. ;-)

Don't take the strings off. Put those silicone moisture granules in the case. Store with case upright. You'll have no problems. That's the way I store all my guitars and I've not had any problems whatsoever......

Ok, thanks for the advice guys.

So the next question is where to get these moisture bags to put in the hard cases?

These guitars are not going to be used in the near future, but I can't bring myself to sale them yet. So them may be stored for quite a while.

I've also heard about detuning the strings by a semitone or something...what about that idea; would this help in long term storage?

Hi.

Any advice on guitar storage? I'm going to be storing some guitars and was wondering if anyone knows if it's better to store them flat or upright etc etc. They are in hard cases.

Cheers

Buying a Gibson makes this guy very happy!

Meet Gibson CEO' date=' Henry Juszkiewicz...

Buying a Gibson made me very happy as well.

Gibsons are like every other guitar in that you get great ones and not so great ones. The newer Gibsons 2002+ are better built than some of the 80-90's one, and you can get some good deals on them.

However, I tried a 2002 Sunburst STD and a 2003 Gold Top STD, the 03 was a lot heavier than the 02 and did not sound as lively as the 02.

The Gold Top was in mint cond and was for sale at 800 quid S/hand. At this sort of money the Tokia v Gibson question is a lot tricker to answer.

someone was had a Yam SG700 for sale on these pages not long ago for 250.....great guitar, and a bargain to boot.

Of course there's professional autograph hunters but I'd think that the majority of these people that hang around are genuine fans. Every band isn't gonna do that but I do think that giving up a few moments for the fans is all part of the deal. It's the fans who pay the money and provide the support so "star" hissy fits are nothing but destructive and ultimately negative.

I'm with you. What is it people like this? They get into a band, want folk to come and see them, buy their music etc, and then get pissed off when their money paying fans want to to say Hi! or get a small momento of the gig. I've heard this many times and it always makes me wonder why these guys get into a band in the first place.

Oh! the guys are tired after playing their set, and being on tour etc etc....bollocks, it's bad manners end of story! As my mum always told me, "It's nice to be nice"

Now I know this is not the same but, I work full time and also play in a covers band. Our set is about 45 songs long. After I've finished playing and someone comes up to me and talks about the gig being good or bad, or about my guitars etc, I would take time to talk back to them. This is even if my wife has giving me a hard time for going out playing in a band....again!!! or I've got a sore head with my drummers cymbles, or my pet cat 'Frog' has cat flu. I'm sure there's 1000's of other guys like me (maybe not with a cat named Frog though) so why do these 'rockstars' think they are any different. I'm sure they wanted to hang out with some of their heros when they were younger.

If they don't want pestered, then don't do the gigs etc.....oh but that brings us back to the money thing again. Wankers!

I have to say this, I had never played drums before and Biz showed me the basics on the kit. After about 15-20 minutes I was sort of holding down a basic beat. Multiply that time by 18 (6hrs), and would probably have been able to do basic songs in a band.

But Biz, you do talk drivel sometimes.
