Hog Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 For your second question. A Marshall Guv'nor, try Ebay. Usually go for around 30-50. They are really good pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy both in Aberdeen from either R&B or Bruce Millers for those sort of prices.The TU-2 is a godsend but to be honest i prefer the Jackhammer to the Guvnor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeid Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 To be fair... he did say IMHO Not a fan of the guvnor. Think it's fairly guff. Good on bass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Not a fan of the guvnor. Think it's fairly guff. I agree, but is magic for keyboards, dont like it on bass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone G Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 This may sound stupid, but how good can a tuner be? Why pay 80 quid for one, when surely a 10 quid one does the exact same job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pay 80 quid for one, when surely a 10 quid one does the exact same job?[/quote']That's a good question. I'm sure a 10 quid tuner would do sometimes, but IMO for a live situation it's hard to beat a pedal tuner such as the Boss. You can tuner quietly, you can use it as a mute. I've seen me use it at the start of a song to mute my signal if I'm getting unwanted feedback etc. You just need to kick it in a split second before you hit the first note.
