Members aeon Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 Happiness is having a lot of pedals AND a lot of rack gear, both analog and digital, so you can choose the best tools for a given situation in the studio. Give me germanium transistors, BBDs, tape delays, valves, and an Eventide (and a few other things besides). I will use and enjoy them all. cheers,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gourd of Ashes Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 damn, this is a long threadall I know is my personal experience. When I had 100,000 dollars worth of gear my playing totally sucked. Now I've got just 5 guitars, 1 amp, clean power, wireless, peterson tuner and I totally rip When I had a ton of gear I was always searching for a sound and trying to be an expert at everything. The result was...I was a total trainwreck. Once I downsized...I dialed in what I was good at and didn't try to be a jack of all trades master of none. The result was...my playing got better than ever.Guys with tons of gear usually know how to dial in a perfect sound for everything. They can get a sweet surf tone...or jazz tone....or 80s metal lead...whatever. But, that is for studio players and hired guns. Average guys or artists focused on original material only need a few sounds and usually do best just to concentrate on a reasonable amount of gear.

Members sdresdre Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 I can only speak for myself of course, but I really look forward to the day where sdresdre rises above lackluster mediocrity and posts something funny and original, completely devoid of all-too-typical ad hominem arguments, name calling, and childish insults. its ever so cute when little boys try to use big words. awwwwwwwwww.

Members JRBain Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 axess stuff are great! that's how i started: first with the GRX4 and midimate. then i added the CFX4 and that's about it. i couldn't afford everything all at one but little by little i built it to the point that it is today. good luck! -PJ Thanks man . It looks like great stuff, and it does exactly what I need it to. I'll probably be building my rig similarly (I have no money ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 Perhaps you could tell me how to do Diatonic pitch shifting with just a guitar, and explain what is so confusing about this being the effects forum, chucklehead? You don't seem to bright. I rent a lot of my gear out for rentals as a sound reinforcement company. see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average guys or artists focused on original material only need a few sounds and usually do best just to concentrate on a reasonable amount of gear. Hmm... there is some validity to this... I know that when I first started playing that I went bonkers with the effects. It took some time to realize that the effects were playing me... and not the other way around. I dumped all of them and worked on my chops, then slowly began to add the effects back in. Again, I think it just reinforces the notion that all of this gear is just a tool to get you to where you want to go. One can have no effects, or a mountain of them... as long as your end goal is achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 What is your point? I guess my point is either you're 100% full of {censored} and trying to impress people with pics of stuff that isn't even yours or you have a lot more gear than I thought. you said this: "I rent a lot of my gear out for rentals as a sound reinforcement company. see..." and posted those pics of shelves full of roadcases so I was just surprised by that. So is that stuff all yours. Yes or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheHarakiriEnd Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thats cool! Good spread of amps. Last year I bought ALOT of guitars and some pedals. This year I am trying to focus on amps. I've got a well rounded guitar collection (except for the es-175, Travis Bean and 1922 Gibson acoustic I want) but my amps are lacking. So far I have just got the Dr.Z, ordered a couple custom amps from a friend and reserved a Sound City (they aren't quite ready to sell but almost). I really want a Bandmaster, Ac-30 type amp, and a Two Rock. We'll see what I wind up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
