It is under control, compared to the guitar building addiction I am currently going through.

Or you can just have the ones you want for a particular sound. To clarify I never ever had all four on at once, unless I was trying for a horrible sound.

Probably about right, before I switched to the Helix I had four on mine. Different flavours and intensities of drive. I have a fifth that I was going to start playing with and then the Helix arrived . . .

I remember some 15 or so years ago I would sometimes leave the office where I was working and take my MPC500 to the park for a little creative work. Nobody pointed and laughed, but nothing good came of it either.

My entirely worthless opinion is that guitar tone is like a school French essay. You start with a perfect score appropriate for the Platonic ideal guitar (ideal for a particular genre/player), and each thing you don't get right loses marks.

The coloured pieces are the ends of the string, often known as 'ball ends'.

You need to buy new strings and you'll get that piece attached to the string.

The AW16G is a 16 track multitrack recorder/mixer in it's own right, what does the D80 give you over recording on the yamaha?

The bit that grabbed my attention was them being free if you own the UAD HW version.

If I understand this correctly I can add my spare cpu cores processing power to the DSP I already have for my UAD plugins, for the cost of an ilok? This really does seem to good to be true.

If I strum through the sequence and go to the dm again from the C I'm back into a tension and feel a need to move. No...

Well... maybe if you had a small synth that already housed several synth engines along with various effects

Nicely done sir, nicely done.

Hope so, has it really been a year already?

I LOVE the eBow. It is one of the most haunting, ethereal sounds you can get from a guitar - and yet so few guitarists are interested in even trying it. Much like the humble volume pedal. Damn, you plankers are a conservative lot! :lol: I love the e-bow too, and possibly use it more than I should, ...
