New toy to play with after work today.
Itās pedal day, I guess. I picked up this Boss RV-3 off of Reverb the other day and just got home with it (the seller was here in Denver). Iāve only played around with it long enough to make sure all the knobs do things.
And so it beginsā¦ā¦.!
it has indeed Whatā¦ Iām not quite sure but its definitely happening
Tuner, then compressor, then do a ton of research on which preamp has the sound youāre after. Donāt compromise and spend less or youāll end up buying 2 or 3 of things before you end up with the one you originally wanted but compromised on. Iāve got a drawer full of pedals so far because I compromised at first.
I got a korg chromatic inline tuner, you can see that just above the scarlett solo. Or is there a difference in pedal tuners?
I think Iām seeing the joys of thoseā¦
lol, so just go straight for the darkglass huh?
Well yes. I love my Peterson Stobe tuners. Iāve tried many different ones until Peterson, Iāve not changed the brand since.
Solid choice if that is the sound you want
If thatās THE one. Absolutely. Iām an Ampeg fella myself, and after not dropping the coin for an Ampeg twice I just got one and
I hate Darkglass, with passion. Spend your money somewhere else.
Is that just based on your bad experience with the Element? My Microtubes X was awesome.
100% Iām sure they make good stuff. I just hate them. There are other companies for me.
Iām very easy going, understanding and forgiving person, once Iām pushed pass that threshold, I flipped and I hold grudge.
I think the Element was simply a bad design, lots of people had issues.
I initially bought a Zoom B1four, then started buying separate pedals (I have a tuner, a compressor, a chorus and a delay - all lovely pedals) then I met my bandās guitarist who has a Neural DSP Quad Cortex.
WOW!! That thing rocks, but the price is eye watering (Ā£1,500 in the UK) and I simply canāt justify that kind of expenditure. So I bought a second hand Hotone Ampero One. A fraction of the price, but quite a lot of the functionality. Basically, all the pedals you think you need are emulated in it and you can set up specific patches - got a clean and a dirty I like - but Iāve also got patches for specific songs. Itās fantastic. It also works as an interface (making my Scarlett Solo redundant).
I really need to sell the separates now, itās just finding the time!!
Iāve got a Zoom also and I like the idea of the all in oneās, especially for testing out different cab sims and overdrives and stuff. I made the decision that I just prefer the old school pile of stompboxās slapped to a board of some kind. In the end Iāll pay more than I would if I just bought a Nueral. I understand that. Itās more of a sentimental decision going back to my wannabe Thurston Moore days.
If I were to play live again (aint gonna happen), Iād just get a quad cortex and run both my bandmateās guitar and my bass through it.
@Morkai @faydout ooohh niceeā¦ this part of the forum is sooo bad
It makes the GAS almost acceptable ā¦. Have not been near the rabbithole of pedals effects etcā¦
Would that I could justify it to my wife and daughterā¦
