I have Peavey Studio Pro 112 (single cone... Like 1 speaker or whatever you call it) amp and an AXL Amp Rapture Series quad box - http://www.axlguitars.com/aarap100hr412c.html

There are better ones out there but this only cost me $750 with the Head and Quad box. + I run my guitars through a Boss Metal Zone pedal anyway.

nice setup!

do you use any other effects besides the metal zone?

Hah!

I would love to own the whole BOSS Pedal series, like how they put it on display in the music stores.

But I would probably only use a few but anyway.

I only use the Metal Zone atm, I was thinking of buying a few more Distortion Pedals... BOSS make a Turbo Distortion Pedal, but I figured the Metal Zone can replicate that and a few other pedals so I have just stuck with that.

The Metal Zone can replicate a Fuzz, Overdrive and various Distortion Pedals + a few more pre-set settings... So it is kinda like a few/multi pedals in one.

Gota friend who's got a V-Amp effects unit and it contains probably over 100+ effects... You can sit there all day playing around with it.

yeah i have a korg AX1500G effect processor but only use it for practice and song writing... for gigs, rehersal and recording, i have 2 x distortion pedals - a vox cooltron bulldog and a mxr distortion iii... gives me a bit of variety... i don't use too many effects, i have delay, chorus, compressor, wah... i also have a tuner with mute and a noise supressor... pedal board was a bitch to make! i'm sure if i had the $$$ i'd go nuts and buy heaps of different pedals...

I use a POD :P 30 amps in one.

i hear they're pretty good...

although i am not the biggest fan of tone modelling and multi effects... i used to love it but found i could get better tones mucking around with a few pedals...

Well it's a proper amp simulator. I pick an amp (say a nice Mesa Boogie) and then I pick a cab (ranges from small practice amps to huge 4x12s), set the gain and EQ levels, then I go straight into my recording interface.

If I was doing gigs then I would use a real amp. The POD does a very good job though. A lot of qualified audio people haven't been able to tell the difference between my POD and an amp.

How do you find the KORG, VOX and MXR effect pedals as apposed to the BOSS products?

Or are they pretty much the same..?

The KORG AX1500G would be fun to use.

Different sounds and effects can help a lot with song writing as it also brings out a lot of interesting sounds, which you can make into a song.

Digital Delay would be sic for echo effects!

Flanger Pedals are fun.

Any of you tried an Acoustic Simulator? Does it really make an electric guitar sound acoustic?

Nah, not overly. I think it brings out the warmth of an acoustic but nothing can replace the true tones of an acoustic guitar.

Yeah that's for sure, I guess it save you from bring 2 guitars everywhere.

Still the best acoustic sound is from an acoustic guitar.

i love the vox and mxr pedals :P i have some boos pedals...

most of the boss are digital and have buffered bypass whereas the vox and the mxr have true bypass and are analogue... but they are all great... boss dd3 is a fantastic pedal!

the AX1500G is really good for practice (headphone jack means you don't need an amp)... some good effects and poor mans POD type amp modeling...

Whao! :P

That's some awesome equipment there!

"most of the boss are digital and have buffered bypass whereas the vox and the mxr have true bypass and are analogue" - How do you mean digital and true bypass?

Does that effect the sound of what the pedal will produce through your amp?

buffered bypass is a circuit within guitar pedals that attempt to remove tone suck when the pedal is switched off. this is done because if you have lots of pedals in a chain, the signal can get weaker and the sound can be tanrished.

in true bypass, when the pedal is off, it's like its not even there.

as for digital and analogue, digital pedals can sound a little artificial, not all of them boss make excellent digital pedals (DD-3 being a prime example).

Good example of this is can be shown just by plugging a cheap effects pedal in without it switched on...the sound is noticeably different to plugging your guitar straight into the amp. Even on a 10 watt practice amp :sick:

100% correct! tone sap is a big issue. so is level reduction...

Right I see...

Thanks for that!

:(

no worries! i learnt a lot of stuff talking to other musos... i am still learning stuff...

Ok one more time... Haha!!

Most BOSS Pedals have a buffered bypass to reduce the tone suck, hence not tarnishing the sound = Still keeping a very Clean Channel sound when the pedals are off.

Ok got ya!

Cool! :)

Don't need one :)

Benefits of having a strat copy with a 5-way pickup selector and no humbuckers! On the 2nd and 4th positions most people can't tell my guitar from a recorded accoustic!

I reckon all the guitarists on here should have a solo/riff competition, where you record 15 seconds of sound and post it up. Don't know how judging would work though :S

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
