Saijinn Maas Ive got a GT-8 you need a college degree to take advantage of all it can do.

Yesterday I managed to snag a SIB MR. Echo delay and an MXR Distortion+ (which is actually more an OD)-tommorow I get to crank em!

I almost picked up the GT-10. But it looked like it could do WAY more than I would ever use, so I went with this. It does everything I need

that delay should be pretty cool. I heard that distortion is badass. I know a few guys that swear by it.

I love days when you get to crank it!!!

Cuthbert I really dig those things.  Im thinking about ordering one but Id like to hear what a musician can do with it.  Is there any kind of line out on it?

Got any clips?

Hi Davo...yes indeed, it's got a line out jack (1/8") as well as an input jack to modulate the pitch. I've only begun playing around with it, but it's got some tweakability, especially when you throw some effects on it.

I'll try to post a few samples soon.

cuthbert cant wait.  Seems like a cool "mircro synth".

Personally, I don't really use too many gadgets.

If I had to pick something, I guess it would be this:

Boss ME-70

You should be able to grab a ME50 pretty cheaply these days.  They are in runoff.  I think the only extra thing I wanted on the 50 that the ME70 has is the looping but that didn't justify the extra $$$$$$$

Tis a nice toy tho.

I hate to admit it, but I am Bluesberry II. two weeks ago I bought a Line 6 POD X3 Live. I got tired of hearing how much time I spent in the basement, so I bought a used set of Tama drums for my girlfriend. Now she wants to come down with me.

There were two reasons I didn't go with the ME50.
1. I noticed a slight delay when switching anything on the pedals. very slight, but very noticeable when doing in while in time with a song.
2. The 50 has only three pedals. The 70 gained the compression switch which actually adds more than just compression. Plus the looper was a plus.

Although the 50 had more amp and distortion models, I thought the 70's "harder" distortions sounded better.

Hard to find a 50 used around here. And I kept getting out bid on ebay. :/
And since a new 50 is only $50 cheaper than the 70, I didn't have a problem forking over the dough for it.

[Migs]

Yeah, the delay is a problem for live switching.  Just long enough to be noticable.

When I picked up my 50 it was something like $150 cheaper than the 70 ... and that is a lot of beer.

HaHaHa thats funny, you just can't have enough musical gear, period.  I just went out and bought an electric piano (Korg SP250) for the boy (7 years old) to start taking piano lessons, of course I have been playing it like madman since getting it home last night.  You just cant have too much musical gear.  Because it was for my son I was able to justify it, but it is going to be safely located in my music room where I can get at it whenever I need.  Time for some piano lessons for myself!!!!!

Dave, sounds like the Prog has finally latched onto you and will not let go! Your keys skills sound great now. I can only imagine what a few lessons would do for you.

I took some piano lessons as a kid and hated it - If I had only known better. Your son will probably do well because he knows someday that he will get to play with his Dad!
