    Which delay pedal?

    Which is best out of the mass produced delay's around $150?? Basically used for ambiance and in place of reverb in a sense. Boss DD-3: See this used by pro's all the time. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/boss-dd-3-digital-delay-pedal MXR Carbon-Copy: Many people seem to like...

    50 Watt 5150 III...any thoughts?

    Searched for reviews here and can't really find anything. Looks like XSSIVE may have bought one. Quality? Made in Vietnam or something like that right? Channel 2 is all i care about, are they equal, 100 compared to 50 tone wise? How does it compare to the 100 watt other than the extra...

    All the Les Paul models have me confused.

    I would like to buy a Les Paul in the near future but the models confuse me. Standard, Standard Traditional Pro/Plus/etc, Studio, Studio Deluxe, Custom, Deluxe, each seeming to have sub groupings. Is the basic progression: Studio, Standard Traditional, Standard, Deluxe, Custom? Is there...

    Anyone from Minneapolis? Where should I take my guitar?

    I just want a perfect setup done on my Music Man but I don't trust people. GC is not an option, I went down to my local guitar place and not sure I trust the young dudes there. It doesn't seem to play as easy as it used to, could be mental too.

    Duncan/Ibanez = Duncan Designed? Also, what is closest retail version to my pickup?

    I have two Duncan/Ibanez pickups in my Ibanez SZ520. Anyway I'd like to know what a comparably spec'd retail version would be? I like their tone and would like to get a similar product in another guitar. Also curious if Duncan/Ibanez = Duncan Designed? That's the exact model.

    Quick pedal suggestions for me.

    I'm basically down to tuner, delay, and eq. Sick of trying OD's and distortions, I figured out I hate chorus, I stopped using reverb. All I want now is: a new delay (using an old late 80's Ibanez delay), a fuzz (I want a Smashing Pumpkins type sound), and a phaser at some point (probably an...

    Loving my new 6505+ 1x12 combo.

    I haven't owned a 100 different amps like a lot of you and none very good but this thing has been the most fun so far. I've owned a Jazz Chorus, some old Peavey solid state, Crate Vintage Club, Peavey Mini Collosal, Vox AVT30, Carvin Legacy, Egnater Tweaker (for 2 weeks), and now the 6505. I'm...

    New Egnater Tweaker owner, question for fellow owners.

    Got a new Tweaker head and running into my oversized Avatar 2x12 with Hellatone 30 and 60's. Couple of issues. It is very, very quiet until the volume goes past 1 o'clock, then it finally comes alive. Is the head too weak to for this cab? It's really a a strange thing, it's like the volume...

    So do wah's effect tone when not engaged?

    i just unplugged my dunlop wah and my tone seems to be much brighter. Not sure if I hit some tone knobs on my pedals or what. Do they suck tone normally?

    So how can you model OD pedals?

    I don't get it, isn't an OD mechanical and physical process, not just a sound? You push the front end a bit, interact with the amps gain and character, etc. How well do modeled OD's work anyway?

    Ty Tabor rig vid (front panel bias control?)

    First off, Ty rules. Second, why don't more companies have a easily accessible bias like the Randall unit (about 3:10 into vid)? Or do they and I'm just not aware? I HATE taking anything into the shop, I'd rather learn to do it myself, but when it comes to live electrical current, I'll...

    Best/Cheapest way to mic amp?

    Figuring some combo of laptop, usb style sound card, mic. I have the pod farm/gearbox that comes with the USB sound card, could I use that? Is that made for microphones and mic'ing an amp? What is a good cost/performance ratio mic? Please recommend me a quick setup.

    Surprised the Tech 21 amps don't get more love from the Amp modeling crowd.

    Just messed around with two of them for about 30 minutes and I must say I like them. It's just a straight forward amp without any digital craziness to get in the way. The higher end/big ones come with an effects loop so they seem usable in real life situations. The Trademark 30 had 3 amps...
