Members Dolf Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 I write songs, write music, sing, and play guitar in a band. I mostly play acoustic electric, but, I'll be whipping out the Dano for the more 'electric' songs. Epi John Lennon Acoustic Fender HRD amp Pedal Board - Fender PT-100, Dano TOD, Little Big Muff, Delta Labs chorus, Stereo pulsar and a DE-7. I'd love to put a Space echo, and a Rat on it though. so you're selling that white tele then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted August 18, 2009 Members Share Posted August 18, 2009 so you're selling that white tele then? Maybe. I'm at a crossroads really, I love the feel of the Tele, but I can't get a pup combo that a really like. But, I don't really dig the feel of my Dano, but I love the sound it has, real warm and chimey kinda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members surfcat Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think a lot of the stuff we buy to sound great at home gets lost in a band setting-or kind of gets wasted. That boutique tube screamer sounds better, but with a band playing the difference is much smaller. Also, with a tube amp cranked up, you're already getting much of the sound that the pedals are trying to emulate so you don't need the pedals to do as much work to achieve your sound. I'm not currently in a band-kind of keeping my eye out for a casual stiuation that won't require all of what little free time I have with kids in football, etc. Most bands want you to learn a ton of songs in a couple weeks and gig in a month.

Members _Idioteque_ Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 Got really tired of it, but I used to be in a local Crowbar cover band called Like Broken Glass until a few months ago.

Members dunnoaname Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 I play in a Bigband and in a singer/songwriter duo.Gear:Guitars:DeArmond Starfire special - semihollowIbanez AF105 SM - full hollowLag Spring something - acousticVolcano strat - travelguitar (tiny)Amps:Hughes and Kettner 20th aniversary edition tubeFender Champ12 Roland MicrocubeEffects:Dunlop JH-1 wahMXR dynacompDigitech Bad MonkeyBlackstar HT distortionBoss volume pedalKorg tuner Boss CE-2 chorusMXR Carbon CopyUsually with the bigband it's the hollowbody straight to a large tube amp. Or sometimes with the BM and volume pedal in between.With the songstuff it's just the acoustic into the PASo most of the effects and amps are just for home use. I have played in a bluesband and a coverband where I used the though. My alternative rig is The DeArmond into an M-audio soundcard with a pimped out macbook and a yamaha midi footswitch. I use GuitarRig 3 for the sounds. Sounds good and is really, really, reaaaally versatile.Never let go of a chance to tell about our gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tribute2Johnny Posted August 19, 2009 Members Share Posted August 19, 2009 I play in a generic rock cover band- which aren't many in the local rural area, so bars and private parties are the way to go here. Not many avenues or people willing to get involved with original music live around here for some reason. anyway, here's my live gig setup: 2006 Squier Standard Stratocaster with GFS hot rails setintoDOD FX80B Comp/Sus -> Digitech Bad Monkey -> Marshall Guv'nor II+ -> Dano Fish'nChips EQ -> DOD FX64 Ice Box Stereo Chorus -> Zoom G2 (for random multieffects for certain songs -> Digitech DigidelayintoEarly/Mid 70s Fender Dual Showman Reverb 100w headintoAvatar 212 Bluesbreaker cab with a Eminence Texas Heat and a Peavey Sheffield speaker.

Members Mistersuperfly Posted August 20, 2009 Members Share Posted August 20, 2009 or how they make ends meet Debt, and supportive families who throw us some money to eat every now and then... also we sleep in a van on the road, I've slept in the back of a 15 passenger van every night since early July, and most of March, April, and May. Means we don't have to pay for a motel room every night which saves a lot of money, we're lucky we actually get to come out in the black most of the time when we tour. The money for my gear is a combination of great deals, selling things I had for more than they were worth, waiting a ton of tables at the Cheesecake Factory, money from my grandparents passing, and gifts from my ex girlfriend and family. I'd love for you guys to come out to a show... if any of you are within driving distance of Manhattan please come out sometime this month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
