http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=herO3pv8E1I That's not me, but the guy gives a pretty good "practical" application of how the Dano sounds. Anyway, I nabbed this thing for $25 bones at a local guitar shop and it is disgustingly good for only $25. I don't need tons of features like looping, tap...

In the last year I've learned the importance of volume, texture, and touch. In turn, it's caused me to rework my board and rig. So, check it, I've never used some of these pedals on "the reg" before but my current song/riff writing has made me work them into my ears. Generally, I've used them...

Okay, I'm a Tele and Les Paul type guy. About the farthest I'll go in terms of "pointy" guitars is a Flying V or Explorer, but I don't quite have the mojo to play either, nor do they fit into my style of music. I mostly play indie/fuzzy type stuff, with general garage rock mayhem and some...

So I recently did a massive rig downsize due to a little bundle of joy entering my wife and I's lives. I went from a Fender Bassman to a Epiphone Valve Special. The Valve Special is a 1x10, 5 watt tube amp with a single 12AX7. I guess it's technically a hybrid tube/solid-state amp but I...

I pulled the trigger on the beautiful Fender Bassman RI below. It's currently on layaway and I'm gonna bust my @$$ to get it outta there! If you guys are ever in San Antonio check out Krazy Kat Music, because they're just an awesome place with some great musicians! I'm new to the Fender amp...

Alright, now that we've had some education on Compressors I think we need some EQ EDUCATION! I've already added an MXR Supercomp to the chain (and I love it!) and now I'm thinking of adding an EQ but I'd like to know all about 'em, when to use 'em, and who uses 'em! Thanks in advance!

I'm in the market for a compressor. Ideally on the cheap and along the lines of an MXR Dyna or Super Comp. I'm up for anything good though. Post in this thread or send me a PM!

Digitech Jam-Man? Boss Loop Station? Line6 JM4? Akai Headrush? What's a good loop-pedal? Help me guys! I'm just itching to play with myself! :laugh2:

I know there's a huge Reverend thread (in two parts) at TheGearPage, but my allegiance is here! I just scored a Reverend Jetstream HB from Elderly and it is, for lack of a better word, Totally Freakin' AMAZING! The quality is beyond impeccable, the stock pickups are sweet, the tuning and the...

Have y'all seen the 15 watts of sweetness that is the Vox Night Train? I've already got a pretty good tube amp, but this demo makes me want to switch! Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxL04_EKUdI I also love that Andy plays indie and alternative rock as well as more traditional...

I am VERY excited. (and I know it's not a Kalamazoo, but I don't care!)

Alright guys, the OD problem was solved with a Digitech XTD Overdrive but now I need a PEDALTUNER! Anybody got one? Help a brotha out!

http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/01/23/ntune-inguitar-tuner.html Anybody see these? What a cool idea! Do you think this would fit on a Fender Mustang?

Ok Gentlemen, I'm looking to buy an Overdrive pedal. I'll go anywhere from Boss OD territory to Ibanez tubescreamer's and everything in between. I'm looking ON THE CHEAP for this thing, so nothing over 100! Hell, if you can keep it at 60-70 I'd be happy! Thanks for the look, help, info!

I'm considering doing a change to a clean amp (Fender Reverb or Blues Deluxe probably) with a fuzz, distortion box, and boost for solo parts rather than amp distortion. Before I did this, I wanted to know who else on the board currently does distortion pedals into clean amps both LIVE, for...
