Members angus_old Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 post amusing user reviews here. Product: Univox U10GPrice Paid: $99.98 (Canadian)Submitted 04/11/2001 at 04:02pm by Paul Piercey Features : 1 * Do you know what year the amp was made in? * Is the amp versatile enough for you and the styles of music you play? What are those styles? * How many channels? Does it have channel switching? Effects loops? Headphone jack? * What features do you wish it had? Why? Are there features you never use? * Where do you use this amp? Does it have enough power for you? * Feel free to enter any other features (stereo, tube or solid state, etc.). I think it is a 2001 model but I'm not sure. This amp has no versatility whatsoever. I play mostly Metallica. It is a 10 watt with a clean and overdrive switch. It has a volume, treble, and bass knob. It has a headphone jack. I wish is had a better overdrive and footswitching. I use all the features on the amp seeing they're very limited. I use this amp in my basement and it isn't loud at all. Sound Quality : 5 * What kind of sounds can the amp make? How much variety? * Is the clean channel distorted at high volumes? In what settings? * How brutal is the distortion? * What guitar and pickup styles are you using it with? * How does it suit your music style (and what is that style)? * Is it noisy? On what settings, and in what environments? I am using a Jay Turser JT-300 guitar which has 3 single coil pick-ups with a 5-way selector and 1 volume and 2 tone controls. It suits my music style alright. I play mostly Metallica. The amp can't make very many different sounds so there is hardly any variety. I can't even put the amp up past 7 without it making this terrible buzzing and high pitched sound when in overdrive. The clean channel is never distorted. The distortion sucks. Reliability : 9 * Can you depend on it? Would you use it on a gig without a backup? * Has the amp ever broken down? Because of neglect of regular servicing (as in tubes), or just plain neglect? I think it is very dependable. I don't play gigs but if I did I wouldn't be using a 10 watt amp for one thing, especially not this one because the sound sucks. I've never had any problems with the amp. Customer Support : No Opinion * If you've dealt with the company, how helpful/friendly were they? * Ever try and get it repaired? Was the repair done under warranty? * Were you able to findan authorized service center easily? * How long is the warranty? I've never dealt with the company Overall Rating : 5 * How long have you been playing? What other gear do you own? * If it were stolen or lost, would you buy it again or get something else? * what do you love about it? What do you hate? * Did you compare it to other products? Which ones? Why did you choose this one? * Anything you wish it had? * Anything else you'd like to share? I've been playing for 2 months now. I also own a Jay Turser JT-300 guitar and a Rocktek DIR-01 distortion pedal. If it were stolen I would I would be mad for about 1 second and then save up to buy a better more expensive one. I don't love anything about it and I don't hate anything about it either. I've compared it with many other products. I chose this one because I only had $114.98 in my wallet at the time. I wish it was lounder and had more features. This is an alright amplifier for anyone who is a beginner guitarist and wants to get their first electric guitar and amplifier.

Members Uma Floresta Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: Way Huge Swollen Pickle FuzzPrice Paid: USD 750.00 USEDSubmitted 09/13/2006 at 04:17pm by Mark Ease of Use : 10 * How easy is it to get a good sound out of it? * How about Editing patches? * How is the manual for it (if there is one)? * Do you know the firmware revision number? Has your unit been upgraded? This is definitely easy to use. I had some trouble with the battery compartment (it didn't say which direction to install the battery), but after some trial and error it was all sorted out. Talk about mojo!!! Sound Quality : 10 * Can you get the sound of your favorite artists? Who are they? * Are certain effects (distortion, chorus, ...) very good? Very bad? * What setup (i.e. what guitars and amps) are you using this with? * Is it noisy? On what settings? * Are the effects weak or do they always sound great? * What amp are you using it with? The sound quality is pure heaven. Imagine a Big Muff. A Big Muff is made up of a circuit board which costs several dollars, and a lot of resistors, capacitors and chips, all of which together probably cost like 20 or 30 dollars. Then there's the case, another five dollars. Okay, so that seems like not a lot of components, pretty cheap, right? Well, when those components come together to make a Big Muff, you get some okay sounds. When they come together to make a Swollen Pickle (or any other Way Huge step effect) what you get is PURE MOJO! Now, some people will tell you that a Swollen Pickle is just a Big Muff with a different name and look. But they are wrong. The difference is MOJO. The sound coming out of this thing is pure heaven. Imagine the fuzz sounds from Siamese Dream. Now cross that with the steel drum sounds from Sargent Pepper's (or whichever Beatles album has that) and add the flanger sound from Bold As Love (which I believe was an MXR "Eddie Van Halen" model, but I could be wrong). Mix them all together and you have the Way Huge Swollen Pickle. Pure tonal bliss. Of course you won't get steel drum sounds, I just mean that as a metaphore for how good this sounds. I'm using this with a PRS Goldtop, as well as a Fender reissue 50's Telecaster, running into a Barber Tone Press, Way Huge Swollen Pickle, FoxRox TZF Flanger, Red Wich Phaser, Analogman 808 Tube Screamer, Analogman King of Tone, Lovepedal Magic Boy, Skreddy Mayo, Liquid Sunshine, Klon Centaur, a DD-20 Delay (though that is only temporary until I find something better, preferrably boutique; my mom said she would get me a new delay for Christmas), into a Fuchs Overdrive Supreme. I've been playing for nearly two years, so I'm not some n00b extolling the virtues of whatever Zoom piece of garbage. I know good tone, and my playing demands the best tones in the world. Reliability : 10 * Can you depend on it? * Would you use it on a gig without a backup? If I wanted to, I could throw this against a big brick wall with several yards of razor wire on top and it would be fine. But I don't want to. Customer Support : 10 * If you've dealt with the company, how helpful/friendly were they? * Ever get an upgrade, or try and get it repaired? I don't think they make these any more, but I'm going to give them a 10 because it's not their fault they went out of business, and besides, I love the mojo tone of this thing. Overall Rating : 10 * What style of music do you play? Is this a good match? * How long have you been playing? What other gear do you own? * If it were stolen or lost, would you buy it again or get something else? * what do you love about it? What do you hate? What is your favorite feature? * Did you compare it to other products? Which ones? Why did you choose this one? * Anything you wish it had? * Does it help you make music, or does it get in the way? * Anything else you'd like to share? Overall I'd say it's a fantastic deal. I know some people might say I paid too much for it, but they don't understand the importance of true tonal bliss. I'd pay twice this much for the satisfaction of pure mojo fuzz. I have tried the Ramm's Head Big Muff, and it was good, but it just didn't sound as good bypassed. I like the way the Swollen Pickle mellows out the highs when it is bypassed. It's great for smoothing out the harsh high end of my PRS neck humbucker. I'm getting some original songs together, and soon I will form a band. It is just a matter of gettign the right people together who understand my artistic vision. Check out my website: http://www.shinnnesunliquid.com/py/py.htm and you can hear the Swollen Pickle on many songs. I would recommend this for anyone, except maybe for kids who think the POD is great tone. For everyone else, this is well worth the money for MOJO alone. I love looking at the green and yellow box on my pedalboard. It helps me make music. Even when it's not on, as I said, I think it improves my tone by mellowing out the harsh high end frequencies.

Members Wilbo26 Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: Dumble Overdrive 112 ComboPrice Paid: US Dad paid lotsSubmitted 11/27/2004 at 02:59am by Anonymous Features : 8 I believe the amp was made in the 90's. It is not quite versatile enough for me but with my setup it does the job. I play rock. Sound Quality : 10 I use this with a 1959 LP and a '57 Strat as well as a 1962 Gibson L5and a 2001 Bennedetto Manhatten. My setup is as follows; effects rack is as such;I have a Manley Variable MU compressor modded with true-bypass fotswitch, Universal Audio 610 pre amp with fs for clean boost, Manley Massive Passive EQ also with fs, Original Echo-Plex (once owned by Jimmy Page),Koch pedaltone for extra overdrive, Cezar Diaz tube reverb and tremelo heads , custom made SSL noise reduction/gate to a Morley George Lynch Tripler into an Allessandro Italian for clean sounds, the Dumble for my bluesy overdrive and a Trainwreck Express for heavier overdrives, I also have a 1972 Leslie for phase sounds.This setup is the best in the world (or at least that's what Phil (producer friend of my fathers)told my dad. I believe it though. I get better sound than most albums I have heard! My dad told me that with this I would never have to buy another amp or effect. I guess I'm lucky, my dad is SUPER RICH and as soon as I told him I wanted to play guitar he started asking his producer friends what the best setup would be; I got it for my 15th birthday last year. The setup is not noisy as far as I have played it (I'm not good enough to play out yet. Still working on "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Iron Man" and a E pentatonic scale.) I'm sure alot of this has to do with the SSL since I've never played the Dumble by itself. In my setup the amp has a super smooth and warm sound with lovely sustain. When John (studio guitarist friend of my fathers) played through it, it was unbelievable. It sounded so good I think it made him cry because he went directly to the bathroom afterwords and I swear I heard sobbing. Reliability : 10 I've never had a problem yet; Customer Support : No Opinion No idea Overall Rating : 10 I've been playing a little over a year. I'm sure dad would buy another if it was stolen but that would be difficult with my body gaurd around. I love it because it sounds so good. It is as good as my other amps.

Members thriftyshirt Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: Jackson Rhoads Custom Shop Polka Dot V by Rip Glitter Features : 10 All right, {censored} is just getting out of hand here. People keep e-mailing me wanting to know all about my SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V. Like I don't have anything better to do than sit here and write reviews? {censored} that. When I'm not pulling double shifts at Walgreens, I'm spending my time the way any true rocker knows how -- banging HEADS and banging SLUTS, with some quality brew time with my good buddy Dino on the side. Whether it's shredding out with my new band SLUTBANGER, or my side project LETHALICON, I always keep the intense metal mayhem BURNING like the crotch of a Vietnamese whore. You know what I'm talking about. Anyways, I'm not going to tell you all that technical bull{censored} that you don't want to hear. All that {censored} about double-locking tremoloes, humbuckers, strings, and all the stuff that dudes who liked Slayer's "Diabolus In Musica" better than "South of Heaven" probably care about. If you don't own "South of Heaven," then give me call so I can come over and beat you senseless with my SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V, because you're about as metal as that kid whose ass I stomped at the last Insatanity show because he asked me if i liked the latest GORETICIAN disc. On the other hand, if you didn't know that "South of Heaven" is a Slayer album, then you should probably call your mom or whoever it is that kept your crib too close to the microwave and thanks them for {censored}ing up your BRAIN so much that you're totally ignorant of the most savagely INTENSE metal album since Blizzard of Ozz. As for my Signature - you bet your ass - SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V, it used to be all polka dot and {censored}, but Dino hooked me up with this wicked artist named Arturo who works down in Romeoville. He did a sweet-ass painting of a wolf pack hunting at night. Even though I had to stop playing with Rabid Wolf after that {censored}head Jimmy actually asked me to turn it DOWN one day at practice, probably because he's what we true metal maniacs like to call "a {censored} assed bitch," it's still a killer wicked paint job that I'm gonna match on my Camaro hood once I finish up my neighbor's lawn. Sound : 10 You want to know what the SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V sounds like? Let me introduce you to a little something called UNCAGED METAL DESTRUCTION. When I first got my V, I went down into my basement, plugged it into my EVH 5150 custom half-stack with a 300-foot cord, and then I climbed up into my attic and stood in the window, looking over my neighborhood and wondering if they had any idea that there was about to be a full-frontal metal assault rolling straight through their homes. As I hit that first power G chord, I felt my house rumble as the sonic metal INVASION trampled its way through its walls and loosed itself upon my unsuspecting neighbor, who was stupid enough to come out from his backyard and ask me what was going on. I mean, by now the neighbors know that when I'm standing in that attic window, they should watch where they step because their BALLS are about to be rocked off. So ANYWAY, there I am, giving my neighbor a good look at what it means to be a true rocker, and just for fun I start practicing some killer Maiden licks when he tries to tell me to turn it down or he'd call the police. Do I look like I have time for his rules?? I'm {censored}ing rocking out, man! I unzipped my pants and told him what he could do with his police. Anyway, the point is, the SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V, if you're lucky enough to own one, will grab you by the throat and spit nothing but pure, UNADULTERATED METAL TONE in your face. Why am I telling you this? If you haven't heard this guitar by now, then you obviously have no concept of what true METAL is all about. You've heard what I've said about Mexican Stratocasters? I bet you play one, don't you, you little bitch? That's what I thought. The Randy Rhoads V gives you maximum tonal definition while acting as a massive slut magnet at every show you bring it to. Just keep a rag handy, because chicks get so wet around this baby, they might end up dripping all over the EQ knobs, and that can seriously {censored} up your electronics Action, Fit, & Finish : 10 Does this guitar have any flaws? Maybe the fact that you'll have to waste more time kicking the asses of punks that come over and hang around in your basement trying to get a look at it. Like when I came home one day from Dino's, and I heard some totally un-metal, {censored}-ass, limp-wristed NON-POWER-CHORDS coming from my basement. I kicked open the door with my boot and found my {censored}ing little brother Randy actually trying to PLAY MY {censored}ING GUITAR. Now as you know, this was just one of the many occasions that I found Randy {censored}ing with my {censored}. Mom says that I should be nicer to him because he looks up to me. {censored} that! I was the one who named him Randy (after you-know-who), in the hopes that he might end up being a brutal demon of speed metal and we could rock out like true brothers of doom, but instead he's just a snotty little punk who likes to get his grubby little hands on my {censored}. So I had to teach him a lesson. I grabbed that Jackson V out of his hands and twisted the guitar strap around his neck while it was still on the guitar, and then I put the guitar on his shoulders, strapped his hands to either end with a couple spare cables I had lying around, and I pulled off my belt. Man, could he scream! After five or six whips across the back with my studded Motorhead belt buckle, Mom came down and started yelling at me. She started unstrapping him from the guitar, and I only got a couple more licks in across his shoulders before I had to stop my axe from hitting the ground. That paint job was {censored}ing expensive, you know? Mom kept screaming and Randy's blowing snot everywhere because he was crying like a {censored}ing little mama's boy. I mean, if he's not ready to face the lion, then why'd he walk in the cage? That's what I say. I tried to explain to my mom that, quite obviously, Randy had not grown up to be as metal as we both had hoped, but she totally didn't understand. But I'll tell you one thing - it was a lon time before Randy {censored}ed with any of my {censored} anymore. Reliability/Durability : 10 Have you ever grabbed your axe by the neck and clocked some punk in the teeth with it because he said that "Powerslave" is a better album than "Seventh Son"? I have, and let me tell you, my SIGNATURE Jackson V split his face without picking up a scratch. This baby has taken more beatings than Cannibal Corpse's drum kit on "The Bleeding." As for reliability, do I sound like the kind of poser who would play anything but the BEST guitar for hours upon hours of thrashing metal annihilation? Not ONCE has my V let me down, not even when I got so overwhelmed by its killer tone that I had to climb up on my 5150 half stack and jump onto my lead singer's back, guitar and all. I mean, sometimes there's just so much metal pounding through my brain that I just have to let it out, you know? Anyway, after I started chewing on his ear, he threw me and my Jackson V on the ground, but the V never once stopped ejaculating its hot metal love juice all over me. Customer Support : No Opinion Dude, haven't I told you that I NEVER, EVER TALK TO CORPORATE NON-ROCKERS about my gear? You might as well just buy yourself a pretty little keyboard and start up some {censored} dance pop band, because those are the only people who would actually call somebody in an OFFICE and ask them how to rock. Overall Rating : 10 This guitar cost about five times more than my car, but it's worth every penny. Do you want to get swallowed up by a WHIRLWIND OF BRUTALITY, not to mention by all those metal sluts who will be dropping to their knees for you when they see you walking backstage with that alligator-skinned guitar case and a pair of electric blue spandex pants? If not, then stay on your couch and strum your Simon and Garfunkel songs on whatever lame acoustic guitar you just found in your closet. But if you're ready to get sweaty with the hottest metal sluts this side of Gary, Indiana, then grab your wallet and stop acting like such a bitch. Once, when I hit a particularly animalistic harmonic on this baby, I heard this ear-shattering screech. It wasn't coming out of my amp, but from the alley behind my dad's garage. When I walked out back, I found that my precisely honed chops, when matched up with the SIGNATURE Jackson V, were enough to induce seizures into the family of raccoons that live in our dumpster. So don't buy this guitar if you're someone who only goes halfway, because the SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V will know. So if you try to plug this thing into a Fender Blues Combo or some other {censored} piece of {censored} amp that isn't ready to unleash an unrelenting METAL STORM on the world, it will probably just stop working, or maybe even attempt to choke you to death with the guitar strap. Don't ask me how. This thing is {censored}ing brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thriftyshirt Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: Peavey 5150 by Rip Glitter Features: 10 Let get one this straight: the Peavey 5150 is made only for rockers who can handle balls-swallowing METAL ACTION (or AXE-shun). So if you wearing some ****ing backwards red baseball cap and thinking you're gonna be the next Korn Against the Bizkit or whatever the **** you listen to, then you might as well just take that $5,000 Les Paul your uncle gave you and throw it under the tires of whatever {censored}-ass sport coupe you're driving, because the 5150 doesn't have TIME for your {censored}-ASS ****! See, the people at Peavey were smart, because they put like twenty knobs on the 5150. Anyone who knows how to truly rock knows there's only one knobs that matters -- GAIN. That way, when the salesman sees you plugging in the Mexico-made Fender strat or whatever other {censored}-ass guitar you pick off the rack, and he sees you start messing with every knob on the board while you insult the 5150 with your blatantly non-metal licks, he can kick your sorry ass OFF the chair and beat you like the REO Speedwagon fan you probably are, because no one who truly understood the 5150 would waste time with knobs when they could be pumping out some killer Sacrificium tunes on a Signature Randy Rhoads Jackson V at top volume. Sound Quality: 10 You know what I use. SIGNATURE Randy Rhoads Jackson V, downtuned to B, with only my DOD FX-59 THRASHMASTER pedal between it and the 5150 (look up the THRASHMASTER for my other reviews). Yesterday, I took my 5150 over to my friend Dino's house, and he opened it up and disconnected every knob except the GAIN one, and then we busted that knob off so it's permanently stuck at 10, because that's the only number I need to know when it comes to pumping out my hot n' tasty licks with my new side project, LETHALICON, when we hit the stage at the Greenbriar Community Center every Thursday. After Dino and I modded my amp, every time i hit a low B, it sounds like the members of Hierarchical Punish are in my basement, beating the members of Civilization Hatred to death with amplified, unbridled metal brutality. This amp is for PURE, SLUTBANGING METAL, so don't even touch it unless you're ready to proclaim your dedication to annihilation! Reliability: 10 I always say a good amp is like a good woman -- if it lasts through the first couple beatings, it's yours for life. This baby can take all the kicks and still pump out the hottest licks. Once, when I caught my little brother looking at my Signature Randy Rhoads Jackson V, I strapped his head to the 5150 and hung him out the window by his ankles. He kept squirmin' and hollerin' until finally I dropped him, but it was okay, because the 5150 was hooked back up in minutes, and none of the blood or snot stopped it from giving me the hot metal injection I demand. Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out. Customer Support: 10 You think I have time to talk to corporate non-rockers about this ****? No ****ing way! Any time I got a problem with anything, my amigo Dino sets me up just fine. Sometimes, I'll call the customer service number, and when they pick up the phone, I'll put the receiver down by my amp and crank out "Fool for the City" by Foghat just to show my appreciation. They're never on the phone when I finish, but I'm sure they like to hear how at least SOME of us know how to use their amps for the prep-smacking ROCK they wanna hear. Overall Rating: 10 I've been playing long enough to know that this amp kicks more ass and gets more chicks than my band's last bass player. Look, if you're still reading this review, then you obviously have some sort of cranial damage. If you do, that means you probably already own a 5150 and a Signature Randy Rhoads Jackson V, in which case, KEEP ROCKIN'! Because if you didn't already own one of these, by now you should be at Guitar Center, buying your 5150 head and telling them how they need to hold a Guitar Center 5150-a-thon, because it's the only amp that matters anyway.

Members thriftyshirt Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: DOD FX59 ThrashMaster Price Paid: US $59 Submitted 05/12/2000 at 08:28am by Rip Glitter Email: mpbourjayahoo dot com Ease of Use : 10 * How easy is it to get a good sound out of it? * How about Editing patches? * How is the manual for it (if there is one)? * Do you know the firmware revision number? Has your unit been upgraded? This pedal doesn't {censored} around with lots of fancy-schmancy knobs. You get Level, Gain, and Presence. What the {censored} else do you need? Personally, I don't like having to do math when I'm trying to get good tone out of my axe. That's why the helpful folks at DOD have removed numbers from their knob dials, and just use black dots. Why the {censored} should i have to remember "Presence 3, Gain 10, Level 10" when my little brother's jagoff friends come over and {censored} with my {censored}? When I plug in my Signature Randy Rhoads Jackson V, I only want to think about one thing: rocking my ass off. The THRASH MASTER gives me that hardcore metal edge I want without all the {censored} crap. Turn the knobs and turn it up! Sound Quality : 10 * Can you get the sound of your favorite artists? Who are they? * Are certain effects (distortion, chorus, ...) very good? Very bad? * What setup (i.e. what guitars and amps) are you using this with? * Is it noisy? On what settings? * Are the effects weak or do they always sound great? * What amp are you using it with? I wish I could explain it. It's like Kerry King and Scott Ian went cannibal, killed and ate the members of Diabolic Intent, jacked off their Diabolic Intent-infested spooge all over the second Type O album, and played it through my Eddie Van Halen 5150 half-stack at top volume. This pedal is METAL through and through. Sometimes I have to stop and slam my head into the wall because I can't believe how {censored}ing amazing my axe sounds with the Thrash Master. After I regain consciousness, I can hear this heavy grinding noise through my amp, and i realize that even when I was knocked out, the Thrash Master KEPT ON ROCKING WITHOUT ME. That's how good this pedal is. Reliability : 10 * Can you depend on it? * Would you use it on a gig without a backup? You can beat this thing like a cheap back-alley whore and it'll keep coming back for more. No matter how EXTREME you think you might be, the THRASH MASTER can take all you dish out and more. It never stops pumping out the fist-pounding metal, even if you kick it like some {censored} BUSH fan who showed up at the last Dark Legion show because he thought it was a D&D tournament. Customer Support : No Opinion * If you've dealt with the company, how helpful/friendly were they? * Ever get an upgrade, or try and get it repaired? Overall Rating : 10 * What style of music do you play? Is this a good match? * How long have you been playing? What other gear do you own? * If it were stolen or lost, would you buy it again or get something else? * what do you love about it? What do you hate? What is your favorite feature? * Did you compare it to other products? Which ones? Why did you choose this one? * Anything you wish it had? * Does it help you make music, or does it get in the way? * Anything else you'd like to share? If you don't get the point by now, maybe you never will. The THRASH MASTER is ready to give massive strokes to all your neighbors and those people who are unlucky enough to be walking by your home when you're playing through it. If you want, I will come over and thrash on my amp on your lawn, and you can install some new windows after you pound some craters into the walls with your head, because it's just that intense. And it's only like $59, so it only takes like 5 lawn mowing jobs before you can buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uma Floresta Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Product: Danelectro DO-1 Daddy-O OverdrivePrice Paid: Canadian $118.71Submitted 05/31/1999 at 11:29am by Slimblues Al RobichaudEmail: theskyiscryinghotmail dot com Ease of Use : 10 * How easy is it to get a good sound out of it? * How about Editing patches? * How is the manual for it (if there is one)? * Do you know the firmware revision number? Has your unit been upgraded? Manual had some good sound idea: 60's brit.sound a la Hendrix & texas blues sound that was close to the SRV & ZZ top sound idea...Easy to get all kind of blues tones and rock goodies...Knobs are packed tight but it's all right.That baby likes batteries! Sound Quality : 10 * Can you get the sound of your favorite artists? Who are they? * Are certain effects (distortion, chorus, ...) very good? Very bad? * What setup (i.e. what guitars and amps) are you using this with? * Is it noisy? On what settings? * Are the effects weak or do they always sound great? * What amp are you using it with? Guitars used: Samick Number One strat replica (for the SRV & Hendrix sound) El Degas 1991 LesPaul replica (for blues power)Strings: GHS 11's (For Stevie's memory...)Amps: Super (early 70's Canadian tube amp) converted to '57 Fender Princeton Fender M-80 (1990) Bass 9 Midd 6 Treble 4Daddy-O Bass 3 o'clock Midd 12 " Treble 9 " Drive 10 " (up to 1 sometimes)(For my SRV sound this the setting that I use) Reliability : 10 * Can you depend on it? * Would you use it on a gig without a backup? You can't kill that sucker!Even better: My girlfriend won't be able to destroy it!!! She's jealous of my new girlfriend...The same day I bought it, I dropped the thing... It's got scratches already, great! But I need more... I play blues! Customer Support : No Opinion * If you've dealt with the company, how helpful/friendly were they? * Ever get an upgrade, or try and get it repaired? The day I bought it I said to my girlfriend that I was goin' to get a stap for my El Degas. She said O.K. but don't buy nothing else. I said all right. I went there with my guitar and my old tube amp to get an vintage strap to match. I picked up one, saw the Daddy-O, told the guy plug it in to try out with my stuff... I almost {censored} in my pants right there. I realy had power comin' out of my old gears! And quality distortion (tube sound). It really improved the sound of that old tube amp! I said to the guy, I'll have to sleep out tonight but it's worth it. Came back home with Daddy-O and had to give the same amount to my girlfriend... That's a deal we have. Or else I'd go crazy buying stuff! Overall Rating : 10 * What style of music do you play? Is this a good match? * How long have you been playing? What other gear do you own? * If it were stolen or lost, would you buy it again or get something else? * what do you love about it? What do you hate? What is your favorite feature? * Did you compare it to other products? Which ones? Why did you choose this one? * Anything you wish it had? * Does it help you make music, or does it get in the way? * Anything else you'd like to share? I play blues from Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, Howlin' Wolf, Morgan Davis, B.B King, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy to SRV. Covering also the 60's and 70's with Hendrix and ZZ Top. Big Daddy won't help for Johnson, Muddy, Hooker and all the old blues classics I play with my old tube amp, but it sure help to get the tone and sound of the others through my solid state!I used to have one of the original fuzzface from electro-harmonix. Well let me tell you, the sound I got the other day was the same with Daddy-O (pure fuzz Hendrix style)! It's great because I don't like the idea of having all kind of crap on the floor... I like to keep it to the minimum. Now I just need one thing... My Daddy-O!I was about to sell my M-80 because the sound was not close enough to the Stevie sound. It was driving me crazy! I couldn't seep at night, I couldn't eat and I had diariah... I realy had the blues! It saved me from selling that old thing I got as a present from my parents (the best gift). I didn't wanted to sell it, my mother would kill me, but I didn't like it anymore. Now I'll keep it for a while. I'd like to get into a big tube!I jam sometimes with a friendboy... Stephane "Blues Junior" Sonier. He bought recently the Dan-echo. I was so impressed I had to get something too. I also plan to buy that baby... Soon!If Daddy ever get stolen, I'll know that Blues Junior has it, that bastard. And it's the same for his Dan-echo. He knows that I've got my eyes on his new girlfriend... Dan-echo.Daddy-O rules compared to the D.O.D classic tube. Or anything else on the market today. It' got tons of possibilities with those 5 knobs plus the ones on your amp... It looks so much better too. I like the vintage look and colour.To all crazy SRV fans: Take your gear, if it's sunburst it's even better, and use sand paper to convert it to the SRV vintage Number One look like I did. Now go get a Daddy-O and you'll hear Stevie scream through your amp! Try this at home with my setting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funky Chowder Posted February 28, 2007 Members Share Posted February 28, 2007 Of course you won't get steel drum sounds, I just mean that as a metaphore for how good this sounds. Man, I need to use steel drum sounds as a metaphor more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
