NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

UAFX Ruby! I’m really looking forward to moving into a direct rig at lower volume for as many of my gigs as is practical.

Also have had my Herdim Picks delivered recently, and an eBow, and really feeling fired up to get some tribute shows happening

Magnificent guitar. Enjoy it, Beej

horrendous paint job. Very cool guitar. I have a bass from that series.

Don’t have any experience with how they sound but I’d imagine lots of the cheap brands will have something, like this Nux one here with a boost but still in the ball park. https://www.musicplanet.co.nz/nux-nbk-5-masamume-booster-compressor-nux-nbk-5?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjJvAy8qLhQMV2s...

Or True Tone as I think they're now called.

ooh, this looks good. I remember the old weirdly shaped one from long ago

Pedal gurus - I have a Boss CS-2 in my tribute band rig and it occurred to me that it would add a lot of flexibility to have something in that spot that can do overdrive as well as compression. Apart from the expensive fancy stuff like the Strymons and Jackson Audio, is there any other pedals that c...

Dibs when you've had enough of it.

Does it count as in the mail if I picked it up myself on a 7 hour round trip to Tauranga and back? Got a 1988 Marshall 1960a with the white label T75s (my favourite speaker). It's beat to hell so you know it's good, and the car smells like a damp garage now, so you know it's doubly good. 80% of the...

I have a nice shiny Eventide Timerfactor on the way. Been a while since I used a fancy rolls Royce delay, I'm looking forward to it

I'll see you at the gin thing, I'll be your sound guy and I promise to only be a little grumpy

interestingly, my Strymon Deco is a fabulous overdrive for low gain/slighty dirty boost kind of stuff. So digital drives can be great in the right context. Some good drives on the Line6 M5 too.

Dual lock both sides is the way to go. Use a small square in each corner and lever the pedal up with a screwdriver if needed. Also - the Dual Lock leaves a 5mm gap under pedals, you can easily run power and thin patch cables under pedals to keep things tidy

Built this monstrosity today. For a new band I’m starting up. Many sounds are needed, hence the pile of pedals and MIDI controller talking to an Eleven Rack. Signal chain: Boss Tuner Boss Compressor (used as boost, will be replaced in time) Ernie Ball Wah Whammy 4 Eleven Rack direct to PA Second out...

Yep. I can't stand it and don't follow any guitar content apart from the occasional rig rundown. It's all so self promoting meaningless waffle

Nord is the word. Indeed! As a gigging keyboard, Nord can't be beat, I'm told. But even then, who wants a version 1 now? Or even a 2? I was playing an Electro 2 18 months ago. GREAT organ, CP-70, rhodes, not very good on the acoustic piano, but even that was useable. Really nice keyboard action. Un...
