Gear That Everybody Seems To Love But You Don't

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.

Yes

Wah pedals...I thought buying an expensive fancy one (JAM Wahcko) would help, but...nope.

This for me. Some people can get cool sounds out of a wah but I definitely can't.

I can Wah, but only when I copy Tom Morello.

Cocked Wah is a better prospect a la Schenker.

Ukuleles

I raise you Bagpipes, and see you with a Mandolin.

I'll call your mandolin...I don't mind 'em...I like Bluegrass...actually, I like lots of different grass...fescues, ryes, browntop, Pirongia bush...

Yeah, bagpipes...innaresting, that one...a lone one in the hands of a battler is a fight to the death with a snake up a goose's arse. Many, together in the hand's of some musicians can be extremely stirring and captivating...similar to a cracking good haka. I can imagine what it might have been like hearing that racket coming from over a hill brow, through the mist, steadily getting closer, anticipating the battle to come and quietly wetting my tunic.

Ukuleles, outside of Hawaii, should be hacked to death, dragged through the streets, hanged, flailed, burnt and the ash pissed upon!

Not sure Bagpipes, Mandolins, or Ukeleles qualify for Gear that everybody seems to love.

Yeah not seeing much bagpipe GAS here. I've seen a worrying amount of mandolin content though.

maybe not everybody... 'gear that some people like a bit, but you don't' can I add accordion to that list?

I'm waiting for Reg to come up with a guitar to bagpipe translator box...now you too can completely fuck up your neighbourhood with the new, exciting sound of the guitarfukkauppera Bagpipe Effector...wanna play 'it's a long way to the shop, if you wanna sausage roll'...have at it.

Damn straight!



Except...it was the polka/electric accordion craze of the 50s that gave the world the stereo, Magnatone, FM vibrato amp...reborn these days as a guitar amp that continues to tickle my ardour.

Suits.

But then again, the ladies do go crazy for a sharp dressed man

Electro-Harmonix probably have already. They've got all those synth etc ones.

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.

This is the way.

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

On the whole pick thing, anything more than two fingers full is a waste.
