Nice! MXR makes a nice product..

Yeah, I've been using MXR stuff since my first Distortion + in my early teens... Dunlop is carrying the torch, their stuff is still top-notch.

[Nitro Express]

I've never had any MXR stuff break and I have some old shit I picked up at pawn shops in the early 80's.

Hows that Noise Clamp work vs a Boss Noise Suppressor? That's what I have, and it works just fine for me. Just curious what the difference is, that's all.

Hmm...not really sure!
Does the NS-2 have a built-in loop? Not that familiar with it...tried one once as a kid (pre-Boogie) and returned it, seemed like it was killing my signal no matter how minimal the setting...the Noise Clamps seems more dynamic-sensitive just comparing the two from memory.


Correction: Was thinking about it on the way home...that was the old MXR Noise Gate I tried...horrid back in the day...worked TOO well, as in attacked your signal like a rabid pit bull...lol

I can't decide....

the Pog2 or the hog???

[ashstralia]

A wah-wah. A switchless wah.

A wah-wah. A switchless wah.

I remember toying with the idea of getting a Morley/Vai "Bad Horsie" wah specifically for that reason, but when I A/B'd them I liked the Vox better...

[Coyote]

Well, my options include a couple of Morley pedals (Maverick, Tremonti and both Vai pedals), CryBaby 95Q, CryBaby Bass Wah... and a Behringer HellBabe (which is basically a 95Q clone).

[Coyote]

Or I might just go for an envelope filter...

0-11 knobs!

Hummm....cool.
but, where can I get Strat style ones?

[twonabomber]

i think i'm gonna pick up an old DX-7.

[Seshmeister]

I never rated the presets on those at all.

[Seshmeister]

You would be better IMHO getting something like a Roland JV1010 module and hooking it up to a MIDI keyboard.

Could be half the price for something so much cooler especially for rock.

[twonabomber]

oh, i got modules. got an Alesis QSR in the spring, and got a SD card reader for my Roland S-760. been playing with the soft synths too, there is a good Oberheim clone out now, and i already have the Native Instruments FM8 soft synth. i also picked up a Roland JX-8P off Ebay with a bad keybed, cheap. plays grate MIDIed up. gonna fix the 'board over the winter, when it's too cold to be outside wrenching on Jeeps.

was gonna use the DX-7 more as a controller, i don't need all the transport controls the USB controllers have. the DX-7 doesn't split the board, but i'm not sure i need that for just banging around here. i think the DX-7II does though. or maybe a D-50, i really like the feel of my S-50 but you gotta load a disk in it to do ANYTHING, the OS is on the disk and not in memory. also no split, but it has aftertouch. i'd like to save the wear and tear on the disk drive, i will probably box that one back up and store it somewhere.

i have an M-Audio Axiom controller but i don't really like the action, will probably flip it on Ebay.

okay, if i bought a 7 it would be just to have one after all these years. i still consider buying a Kurzweil 250, even though i know modern software and 'boards shit all over it.

also thought of a small digital piano, more a "stage" version than a piece of furniture. something i can sit down and noodle on through headphones or small powered monitors, without having to turn on a whole rack of shit.
