lol, I was actually thinking the same thing about the V-Amp. That little sucker had a lot of terrible tones in it, but I was always very surprised at the usability of some of them. And the cali-crunch I remember being pretty awesome actually. I've never even really come close to using the...

Funny, from another Pod user (XT Live) that our experiences seem almost identical. I actually don't roll off the highs until about 5.5k, but same idea. Definitely hear you on the overdrives: I don't quite get it, but it almost feels like in many of the distorted models there's a 'sluggishness'...

I like this idea because I want to see just how much i've 'downsized.' Old Rig: Mesa Quad Pre: $700 Mesa 50/50: $500 G-Major: $400 Furman: $100 Pedals + Board(includes ABY): $500 Carvin 4x12: $400 Sovtek Mig60: $400 Carvin 2x12: $250 Guitars: Parker P-42: $400 Les Paul Studio DC: $750 Ibanez...

I don't have the Rec Pre but I've used both the Lexi and the G-Major with a Quad Pre... the MPX100 really just sucked as far as the input level went... it was so finicky and clipped really early... a shame because I actually really liked a few of the effects on it. No such problems with the...

Used to have one that I'd sometimes throw at the end of my board, and sometimes right before my poweramp, depending on what else I was running at the time... I haven't had extensive experience with all sorts of gates, but it definitely did the trick in both cases. You're right that in the loop...

You have plenty of midi-board options, for sure, but I wouldn't totally count out the FCB1010. It's actually, despite the price and "yucky" brand name on it, a quite powerful piece of kit. A little searching on the 'net and you'll find tons of people out there that have all sorts of guides and...

Good question! I'm pretty sure the one I played on was your run-of-the-mill 1x12 Widebody w/ a C90, but they may have had other setups going there too. I just played on whatever the guitar they handed me happened to be plugged in to :)

There's a plug for Winamp out there called Pacemaker which does the trick too, can't recall if it works for CDs played straight from the player but I recall it working on most file types. Very convenient practice tool. http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details/12689

This was my first, and most persistent thought during/after demoing it at NAMM myself. The clean channel on this thing is stunning, particularly on FAT. Like, face-meltingly stunning. Plug in, twist a knob or two, flip to the neck pickup, and magically the thing was spitting out the best (to...

I wish I could help more, (not to mention, wish humans would actually decide to invent words to accurately describe sounds instead of saying 'boxy,' 'warm,' 'sterile,' etc. ;P) but I did play around with a Mark V at NAMM for maybe 10 minutes. Though I didn't have the gain pegged or the volume...

Hey folks, wasn't positive this was the best place to put this thread, but it's close enough right? Long story short: I'm on the road, and have miraculously got almost two weeks (!!) of time in one area, and my axes are in desperate need of a setup, and maybe some other work. I wanted to see...

I wish I had more to report on it :) I only played on it for about 2 minutes obviously, but to give the worst, most vague answer possible, it really just seemed like a sorta hyped-up mark tone. It had a different voicing to it that sounded... I guess a bit more 'modern' if you will, but it...

As mentioned, teaching is likely the most 'normal' and reliable job that I can think of that's still very hands-on and music oriented. Assuming you would actually enjoy doing it, studying music-ed and grabbing a job at a school of some sort teaching band isn't a bad choice. Strong union and...

Well, I got about 15 minutes of intimate time with the Mark V on Saturday: and by intimate, I mean standing in front of it playing while thousands of people were wandering around NAMM, screaming, making noise, watching... we're talking intimate in the "Paris Hilton having sex" meaning of the...

Well the MkV is purdy, that's for sure. I was running around all day like mad (well, except for that chunk of time being entranced by watching Victor Wooten go nuts with nothing but himself and a looper pedal) but I did catch a minute or three of somebody playing on it, and it sounded pretty...

I generally keep it fairly simple (now that I'm doing basically all originals 365) When I used to run my rack rig, I had a few solo patches but generally I used the G-Major to give me a few basic things: a subtle but noticeable delay, some verb, a little bit of a boost/focus in the mids, and a...

If the issue is indeed as one-sided as it seems, well then yeah, the whole thing is fairly disgusting, but that's the b*tch of the legal system: it's their job to apply the law as equally and specifically as possible. A tiny bout of carelessness or a little mistake can come back to bite you on...

SOLD, yay :) I'm a moron and can't find a way to delete the thread if it's possible, so if so... sorry :)

Hey, this is x-posted on Craigslist, but here I'll add the important stuff: Prices are negotiable, but I put them on there because... well, you know. We can definitely work out shipping. Trying to restructure my rig, so I'm looking to offload some stuff. Will also entertain trade offers, or...

GC, as a rule, sucks. Welcome to reality ;P There's some stores that are somewhat decent though. Having driven around half the country and been to a lot of GCs, I've learned that they're fairly hit or miss, but even the 'hits' kinda suck, and even if you found one with a great, friendly...
