  1. Excuse me , but did you say Hondo like in Hondo guitars from the 80's?
  2. Better check, I went there first and it said what you said in stock, but it wasn't so I canceled the order and went to Zzounds
  3. Their a semi hollow with a solid piece going down the middle.
  4. They don't have them in stock so I went to Zzounds. I don't believe they're making the es 335 pro any more and these are leftovers from 2015 ish . could be wrong. Zzounds only one finish to pick from too.
  5. A new Epiphone is not that much expensive. used around 200.00 I just bought a ES335pro 430.00 killer guitar. Me? i'd pass on the crack and buy new. I believe they're made in China. http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/...one-es-335-pro
  6. When I started the thread what I was saying is if your heavy handed and have a tendency to pick some notes harder than others. Compression will even those notes out and make them sound the same level. yep! that it will do and the weak note it will bring up. But the trade off is loss of Dynamics. But if you have an attack control.............
  7. That's a pretty good definition of transparency, as far as "transparency" is concerned. That said, if the thing sounded exactly the same on as off, it would be a useless tool. People use compression because they like what it does to their sound, not because it does nothing to their sound. "Transparency" is just another cork-sniffing buzzword, most of the time, though. My ignorance might make it easy to be condescending, Bryan, but it doesn't make it easy to spell it*, huh? *Some might say that looking at the spelling in the very post you're quoting, or even using spell check, is easy, but everybody's at their own level, I guess. I don't use a comp for what it does to my sound but what it does to my signal. "Transparency" a buzz word? naaaaaaaaaa!
  8. OK! now lets get into compressor/limiting. I think its the limiting that most guitar players don't care for or at least the ones that hate comps.. A clean sounding compressor would be one that doesn't change the tone . example TC pedal comp or the Keeley comp. Ross types like the boss cs3 can get honky. Compressor /limiting can also take away from your high end so the addition of a treble control can be a + WTF are you all fighting over a comp ? I'm wondering if either of you know what a comp does.
  9. 2" tape recorders "Studers" used in major recording studios are much loved for their sound "saturation" ah... you could also call that compression:thu: as far as a comp being a crutch? {censored}! all my pedals on my board are a crutch, all 12 of them:thu:
  10. Many of you are using compression and don't know it. A cranked tube amp ah.sweet compression. alnico speaker pushed , compression. chicken pickin? compression needed. Recording? compression is needed to keep from clipping and help you get a hotter signal to tape or CD. there is nothing worse sounding than digital distortion when recording digital. Comps keep the peaks down depending where you set the threshold level. Compression is one of the greatest tools ever made. Radio and TV? you hear it working 24/7 used wrong? you'll get more noise and artifacts like pumping etc.
  11. post if you like used repackaged gear thats had the insides tampered with. Go ahead and buy from musictoys
  12. can some body teach me how to kick ars What is a mazi bee? do they have stingers? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/bluesmann8music.htm
