Sounds reasonable especially if you'll end up playing and having fun with this thing
It was probably quite pricey in 2017 when I posted it :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Old violins sound better, apparently, and why

Is there some survivorship bias here? LIke I'm sure most/all Stradovarius' (or '59 Les Pauls or whatever) were good... but the really old ones are the really awesome ones which were awesome enough to hold on to and protect? (in other words, if you got a lemon of a '59 it'd just go to shit and be thr...

Re: HX users-poly capo question

It does use about 50% of one of the chips DSP. However, you can still squeeze a lot out of it if you have a full Helix (ie two chips). ie this is my live signal path: https://i.imgur.com/dsMklDC.jpg With this I do a whole set just with snapshots on teh same present. You can see I squeeze 3 amps on t...

Re: Me band has a new album!

Fuck yeah, so good! Hefty. Awesome use of space. I find it really hard to play reaally slow and stay that tight (and having seen you guys live, I know that's not just studio trickery...) Vinyl? :zomg: The secret, unfortunately, is a click track :lol: :lol: Vinyl is not out of the realms of possibil...

Dude... hate to hear it. If you ever want to chat you've got my phone number (I think, if not just PM me on here) and I'm always down for a jam/muck around if you wanna. And yeah... band stuff is hard. It feels like a family dynamic so you feel a certain kind of way about saying your feelings... whe...

Hol' up... I think you need to hear it yourself in both places before you make the call that its the power! Your Dad might just have a different opinion on what good tone is... or he used humbuckers and you have single coils, etc etc

Re: Everybody wants to rule the world cover

Great song choice. Lucky band with three vocalists. I always wanted to do this song in this way. I'll let you in on a little secret - all four of us in the band share vocals, and none of us are keen to sing. It's just that we either can't find someone who can sing, or more often we've tried someone...
