What to Get w/ $100.themick August 1st, 2011, 07:33 PM I just got $100 to blow on anything I want for guitar. Any good ideas? JohnnySlapback August 1st, 2011, 07:41 PM If you don't have a MXR carbon copy, GET ONE! themick August 1st, 2011, 07:52 PM If you don't have a MXR carbon copy, GET ONE! I thought about that, but already have the TC Electronic NovaDelay amd thought I wouldn't make much use of it. Am I wrong? LATS August 1st, 2011, 07:54 PM StrapLoks! For every guitar you own. bubblyah August 1st, 2011, 07:58 PM Big bends nut sauce.:eek: also try some DR neon strings. Never tried them but they may be fun on that matte black guitar of yours.:D spooky August 1st, 2011, 08:36 PM Fretboard roadmaps DVD, then take the rest and have a nice dinner JohnnySlapback August 1st, 2011, 08:51 PM I thought about that, but already have the TC Electronic NovaDelay amd thought I wouldn't make much use of it. Am I wrong? Oh I don't know. I just dig mine so I recommend it. I used to have a digital delay but the analog carbon copy is really warm and enhances my tone. I found the dl-4 was too bright and didn't complement the nice gretsch tone!

Or two. themick August 1st, 2011, 09:29 PM I'm not too sure what an envelope filter does. Please enlighten me, Caeman. I'va also considered a Small Clone and/or a Big Muff. S Macp August 2nd, 2011, 06:41 AM An envelope filter brings the funk. Great on a bass. deathbyfuzz August 2nd, 2011, 06:47 AM I'd go and see an incredible band. Get inspired. Then buy some records to up, up, up the creative juice. Then spend the rest on ordering pizza for a week while you write BETTER songs than the band you saw, and plan to record BETTER records than the ones you bought. Fuzzzzz jaycemumford August 2nd, 2011, 07:48 AM No pedals.. A bigsby for your Tele! :cool: vjf1968 August 2nd, 2011, 08:26 AM MXR 78 Badass Distortion $79.99 drmilktruck August 2nd, 2011, 08:35 AM Combining your two recent topics, you could get a ukulele. It's hard to be sad while playing a uke! Channel your inner Jake Shimabukuro. ampe August 2nd, 2011, 09:15 AM i'd save it for a while and hope that it will be worth something soon:p Jukebox August 2nd, 2011, 11:37 AM Talk to Tavo! 6stings August 2nd, 2011, 02:00 PM A hard case for your tele! GentleBen August 2nd, 2011, 02:11 PM I'll second the Sonic Stomp!!!! freddyfingers August 7th, 2011, 04:26 PM Wow!, A hundred bucks? And no children are asking you to go to Chucky Cheese? The wife dont want a manicure? dog dont need shots? Tires arent flat? Roof dont leak? Its good to be you. I cant remember the last time I could actually say out loud, "I have a hundred bucks to blow!". I think Clinton was president. Donate it to some homeless family. Better yet, get them the sonic stomp! barrygnyc August 7th, 2011, 05:45 PM Mick, So.... whaddidyaget? 5120mantis August 7th, 2011, 05:57 PM I'va also considered a Small Clone and/or a Big Muff. do THIS! pilgrim August 7th, 2011, 07:04 PM an $80.00 US T Bill ! themick August 7th, 2011, 08:13 PM I have yet to get something. The longer I wait, the longer I feel compelled to use it for something for my family. I just don't have anything I really want at the moment. Pretty happy with my setup, so I'm not even sure I want any pedals. Here's a possibility. I just email RuttersGuitars.com to see if they route their guitar bodies for sale. I'm seriously considering to start building a telemaster. http://www.premierguitar.com/Stream/StreamImage.aspx?Image_ID=5550380A-3906-4257-B857-A2384740CFE2&Image_Type=image megabutter August 7th, 2011, 11:10 PM So, the sonic stomp: "The Sonic Stomp is a stomp-box version of our ever-popular Sonic Maximizer. The Sonic Stomp was carefully designed to deliver the same sonic improvement as our rack-mounted 482i Sonic Maximizer, adding clarity, definition and punch to any instrument." Nice advertising and buzz, but what does it actually do? I mean actually. Sounds like a pre-set EQ and DB boost or something. Michiel August 8th, 2011, 02:49 AM How about a pocket recorder? If you don't have one alreade: a Zoom Z1 should be within reach, or a used Boss MicroBR.:) Ricochet August 8th, 2011, 02:54 AM As I understand it.... The Stomp/maximizer works on the premise different frequencies travel at different speeds. It's not an EQ. but for convenience sake splits up the signal into Hi and Lo frequencies and corrects the timing(for lack of better word), in relation to eachother. themick August 8th, 2011, 05:35 AM Not sure I'd need a Sonic Stomp as I have the new Billy Brain. |
