I set one up for a nephew a few years ago. I was stunned at how good it was for the price point.

Nice catch!

I wasn't going to bump this up, but Ted did it for me so here goes...

For those reading this. The world is your oyster. There's so many options. To anyone (except AndyR) reading this. The Line6 Pod Express might be a better option. At least it's a valid option. Lots of bang for the buck.

I've got the original Line6 POD

I got it out when I got the UA Ox Stomp.
Have I recounted that here?

It sounds pretty good with more modern speaker emulation.

But it's back in its box now.

I came online to see whether you'd posted about the DSM & Humboldt Simplifier X yet?

I was rehearsing via Far Play earlier using the UA Lion and UA Woodrow - getting fabulous sounds out of them now. Very responsive to guitar controls and a clean boost pedal. I'm using their speaker emulations, they go into the Ox with it's DI options engaged (no speakers) so that I can use it's Delay/Chorus and Reverb.

Last post by godinqc - Today at 09:24:29 AM

If anyone is interested , Neural DSP have a 50% off sale on plugins for the next 2 days..
They have great guitar plugins. The Petrucci one sounds really good ..but I find them a bit heavy on computer resources..

Gear Lust / Yamaha Pacifica 112J

Last post by godinqc - Today at 09:17:37 AM

I recently went to my local guitar shop to look at a Fender players Flame Top but saw this used Yamaha Pacifica for 125$ .. I tried it out and it played really good, for that price I had to purchase it ..
I'm quite impressed with this guitar, it plays really well and sound and looks good too..

Here's a pic , this should satisfy my GAS for a while

I've seen a lot of inexpensive Yamaha Pacificas and thought about picking one up many times but never have. My son in-law has one and it plays, feels, and sounds like an quality instrument. Yours sounds excellent but I'm sure a lot of that has to do with your guitar skills. That's a great price you got it for!

An excellent mood here. Your guitar playing and tone are pro all the way Kenny! I also hear a bit of Mark Knopfler's style. Nicely done.

You are doing some cool guitar leads in the solo breaks, Ron...I like the sound when you are matching the lead riffs with your voices. Excellent song! If it wasn't for bad luck.........

Original Songs / Why Don't it Rain on You?

Last post by Ron D Bowes - Today at 05:22:05 AM

This is one of the tracks that came from jamming around on the guitar. Wasn't convinced it would make a song, but I recorded the rhythm guitar anyway. Once I sat down to come up with some lyrics, it all seemed to fall into place.

"WHY DON'T IT RAIN ON YOU?"

It seems that whan I plan ahead
Lady luck won't help, she'd rather see me dead
I know that you don't give a damn
You'd like to kick me every moment that you can

Why does it always rain
When I'm feeling blue?
Why does it always rain on me?
Why don't it rain on you?

No matter when or how I try
Every chance I get, it seems to wave goodbye
And you could lend a helping hand
But you would rather die than help a fellow man

Why does it always rain
When I'm feeling blue?
Why does it always rain on me?
Why don't it rain on you?

They say each dog will have its day
I hope it comes real soon, that's all I have to say
To all those folks who passed me by
I'm gonna step on you while reaching for the sky

Why does it always rain
When I'm feeling blue?
Why does it always rain on me?
Why don't it rain on you?
