I've reigned in my gas to controlable levels so I'm not so bad for it these days.
I have a few things that I'll never sell because I wont get a good enough return on it and I dont need cash. Primariliy I'm talking about a VK112 which I may aswell use for practice and a trace elliot speedtwin which is a great amp but no ones ever heard of the {censored}er.

Charlie Stringer's Snarling Dogs Whine-O-Wah.
:facepalm:



+ 1 - That wah is uncontrolable, the sweep range is huge, but the useable sweep range is about .0025 inches apart somwhere in the middle of the pedal.


I also bought a Snarling Dogs Black Dog pedal at a closeout. Didn't need it. Sounds good, but my amp sounds better. But I'm a sucker for when the LED's in the eyes light up. :facepalm:

It's in my spam if anyone wants it. Does a great Lynch tone

Rocktron Gainiac. However, I made a 200% profit on it. Some dudes on Ebay kept fighting over it till it reached a rediculous bid:confused:.

 

Tech 21 trademark 60. The gain channel sounds like a Boss DS-1. However the clean is pretty good as a pedal platform. I drag it to gigs for a back-up

 

Marshall Jackhammer.:facepalm:

 

Digitech RP-6.

When I was (much) younger I bought a new Digitech GSP21 Pro. The million fullpage ads in Guitar World and Guitar for the Practicing Musician convinced me I needed it.
:lol:

My buddy had the tube digitech thingee and my pro never sounded as "cool" as his. Eventually I traded it in. THEN a week later I missed it and convinced myself it was perfect for me (again, after I already owned it once). REbought it and it still sucked.
:cry:
I don't know what happened to it from there, I am sure I sold it or traded it in, I just don't know where.


Looking back on it, if I had any idea how to dial in a guitar tone then (I hadn't been playing very long, it was 90' or 91') I may have gotten something decent out of it.

Hell, posting this has made me nostalgic, I should see if I could find one.
:p

 

Georges St. Pierre had a Digitech endorsement? :lol:

 

 

Yeah, it was pricey in 1990 when it first came out...you're a damn fool...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like I was...:lol:

 

 

600 {censored}ing bucks new...:facepalm: For some reason my 21 year old ass was thinking it might be better than the ADA MP-1 I had?

 

The fact that it was all in one with the awesome looking midi pedal was what did it for me.

 

 

The cleans were cool enough and FX were ok-the noise gate was {censored}ing horrendous-the distortion sucked ass. The right amount of distortion and FX yielded a passable tone.

 

 

I used to use the EuroRock preset with a few of my own tweaks. Had it for one year before I sold it. Its still in use by my friend...mostly for FX only.

lol dude, I could have bought the ADA MP1 or that, and because it was all brightly colored LEDs and a MIDI foot pedal and had the toanz from Joe Walsh, the guys from Priest, Brad Gillis etc etc I was like "I WIN!!!"

That unit totally turned me off of noise gats for LIFE and I hated how it didn't matter what guitar I had, all I heard was the unit. Have a humbucker? Still sounds like a strat on some of the clean channels. It didn't let the guitars natural tone come through.

That being said, I just bid $20 for one (w/out the pedal) on the bay after I made that post last night. I got up this morning and it was up to $50, I was like "Well F that..." :D

I had/have (but no longer use) the Fender M80 carpeted head with the rack spaces above that, so I used the clean channel on that as my power amp. :facepalm:

Crate Excalibur 220W head and cabinet in 1996 :facepalm:

Alesis SR16 in 2000 :facepalm:





To the OP: I have a Rockman X100, and its fun for certain things....

Zoom 1010 (My first foray into digital floor multifx) :facepalm: sold for 50 bucks...finally...last year.

 

Digitech RP-300A (My first foray into digital floor modelers). Still for sale.

 

Roland JC-120. Great price for it on clearance from local music store for 450 in 2007. That's probably the only reason I bought it. I think I may have had the delusion of running a two amp setup or somehow using my zoom g9 or a distortion pedal in front of it and using it live. Bought a used Sans amp GT2 pedal. Sounded OK through it, but just did not feel right. Sold the roland for 600 last year...WIN- it paid for the pedal and then some. I use the pedal to get some fender spank in my clean tone or add some crunch to it.

 

Digitech GSP-21-expensive piece of {censored}.

 

I think there must be an obsessive sickness among some tube amp owners to see if they can top their sound with SS...:facepalm:

 

 

Oh yeah, and that hooker with AIDS that was running a special...

I never got to enjoy that little chestnut, because I only owned one guitar at the time...:lol:

 

B.C. Rich Gunslinger...if anyone is curious. Awesome guitar. Stolen...:cry: I wish someone stole that damn GSP21 Pro instead!

I had a POS Squire strat and a POS Cort with 2 humbuckers. All I can think is that I must have had no idea how to dial in a guitar tone because I can't believe a company would release a flagship item that was virtually useless across the board. :mad:

Hi, I am MZ. I bought a GNX4 but my insanity didn't stop there, I actually gigged with it. I have been Digitech clean for 6 months now.

Hi MZ........welcome to DA :facepalm:..........your among friends




Note - this probably isn't helping the sale of my 2101 (see spam). Although that actually has a tube and sounds decent.
