Gear That Everybody Seems To Love But You Don't

[Polar Bear]

6v6 amps
Fender amps in general
Fano

[Tricksta]

Relic'd guitars.

This, cannot get my head round it. I like things to look shiny and new.

[robthemac]

Tubescreamers.

But for some weird reason I like Klones for high gain boost.

I don't know if I'm weird for actually liking the break-up from a Klone into a clean amp.

Definitely weird, a Jan Ray clone / Timmy with less gain gives such a beautiful tone with a Strat….

I had a Jan Ray and don't miss it with my current options. But I'm also only playing clean Strat these days.

I actually own an Archer Icon and Blackface and I’m not sure I’ve ever tried them together strangely. Need to give this a go.

I haven't tried the Archer, but Tumnus/Oxblood with gain at 1pm, volume at 10 and tone to taste suits me just fine.

[Slowy]

I didn't vibe with the Strymon Flint. I didn't like the reverb sounds at all. I also find Jazz 3 picks a bit cunty to work with. Just a bit too small.

I have a red one. I keep finding it in the vacuum cleaner. I kinda get why folks like them but my sausage fingers just swallow it.

What's your favourite reverb?

Either an Archer or a Tumnus Deluxe has always been on my board. I only use it with a band. I like them as a boost, not for solos, but the pedal's voice stands out well in a multi guitar band. Also, they're a bit of a, 'sound gooderer' pedal.

Flint was what steered me away from my weird hate for strymon lol, the harmonic trem was so yummy!

What's your favourite reverb?

Yeah I'm muting notes and unintentionally producing pinch harmonics with those little things. I give them to my 8yr old nieces, as they're suited to their little fingers.

I just like plate reverb, so the 60's mode was never going to appeal. I thought the 70's and 80's modes would be great, but I just not remember being impressed. I would try one again, and maybe love it. That's the thing about gear - it's silly to not give any piece of equipment time to grow on you. I thought the POG2 I bought, then sold the same night, sucked as well, but then I bought a Micro POG a few years later, and I enjoy it. So a second play through a Flint could be a completely different experience.

Free the Tone Ambi Space AS-1R is my favorite reverb pedal.

Flint is not the best reverb in the world. The Spring setting is particularly weak to my ears. It just doesn't drip right.

Having said that, I can't see it leaving my board. The three tremolos are all great, and the reverbs are all passable.

Fano. Tried hard to like them. Owned a couple in case I just had the wrong one. But I think I just don’t like Fano.

Same goes for Nash guitars.

Don't think I've heard you play but I've always imagined you with a fast, light touch. Not really either Nash or Fano territory.

I'm djenting with .46mm delrin picks! I only use just the tip though

This surprises me.

I thought I'd do a quick survey of professional djentlemen's picks, looks like I'm not too far off the less heavy hitters...

Misha Mansoor 0.65mm Delrin
Tosin Abasi 0.6mm
Fredrik Thordendal 0.9mm Nylon

I wasn't talking about your use of plectra.
