And how's married life?
Good to see you back, Greg...
it's a feedback pedal. the same thing as a total sonic annihilation or a krok. it's just a pot that sends a portion of the DS-1's output back to the input. makes strange sounds that are completely malliable with the volume knob, pickup switch, DS-1 settings... pretty much everything changes the sound.
the beginning of "yard signs & flags" uses it just for noise. i used it for the solo on "if i said" too if you want to hear it.
since i got the pod XT, my fiddling with different pedals is pretty limited. what you see on the board are my standard sounds now. the rest, and really weird stuff, i do with the pod and the fx junkie pack in it. there is an effect called "tape eater" which is just amazing. but it's got 50+ effects in it.
i'll probably never buy another pedal.
i had a traynor YCV50 EL34 amp for about a week but couldn't use it (too loud) so i just went back to pod.
and my epiphone dot now has 57 classics in it. oh yeah.
drools....
i haven't been able to play my guitar for 6 1/2 months now and I'm going thru major withdrawal!! I keep hearing sounds in my head or songs I wanna play!! Then there's always that urge of just wanting to wail!
sniff sniff
anyways you got some reeeeeaaaaaal nice gear going there! Out of curiosity how much does a pod xt with fx junkie pack normally run? I'm still trying to convince myself i need that line 6 delay you have....I think the next thing i'll get is a boss rc-20 looper tho.I think i could use that more than another delay but still it would be nice having all those options...
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
the model packs are $50US each or $100 for all three from line6.com. there is a classic amp model pack and a metal amp pack as well but i had no interest in those.
hoenstly, the fx pack makes the DL4 slightly redundant but i have my dl4 set up with the expression pedal. i can't do any real time stuff with the xt (and don't really want to drop hundreds for a floorboard just for expression.
i have no plans for a cd. it's not worth the effort and expense. i may, however, look at selling downloads from the site though. like 192kbps mp3s. people could, if they know how, save the 128 kbps .wmas and .movs i have there now though so i doubt even a download store will happen. both of those formats can easily be converted into mp3.
then there is the tax and legal aspects of doing such a thing.
i've started a thread on my forums to gauge interest:

I picked up a cheap Cort Explorer a while back that I've been in love with, I just picked up a Hot '57 for the bridge and a Classic '57 for the neck, they're gorgeous pickups (even if mine are Epiphone models)... wax potted, nickel/gold covers, very creamy. The guitar is pretty solid, straight neck, good hardware. I've always wanted an Explorer, and now I have a good one for about $200 invested.
A friend of mine is looking at a Squier Jagmaster, a mix between a Jaguar and a Jazzmaster, with two humbuckers. Thinking about Kent Armstrong PAF pups, open-coil in the bridge and covered in the neck. Any thoughts?
how's the variax working out? i'm such a line 6 whore.
I'll have to appologise for the shit I gave you on the Variax, sure, I find it ugly, but damn the thing sounds pretty good and you can get a ton of tones out of it. Glad you found an Explorer. I'm still trying to piece together the perfect strat. I've been perusing the Kinman pickups isle lately.
done deal.

thanks for feeding back on it.
It's lost a little of it's initial novelty, but it's still a solid guitar. I keep wanting to replace the neck with a Warmoth strat neck, but that's a lot of money for a beater guitar. But I still love the sound... especially the acoustic sounds. The electric sounds are great, too, but it's better than any electric-emulating-an-acoustic I've ever heard. I'd be really tempted to try their new Acoustic modeler, or even better, the forthcoming Bass modeler.
I always say, "Don't knock it 'till you tried it." It's not the holy grail of guitars, and will never replace any of the guitars it models. But as a back-up or bar-gig guitar, it's perfect. The tones are realistic and expressive, the feel is pretty good, and it just plays and sounds good. It is ugly (the main reason for wanting a different neck) but it is what it is, nothing more.
I am loving the Explorer... it was cheap but in great shape, very playable, and with new pickups, it sounds great. You wouldn't know it was a $200 guitar just by the sound, for sure. But it's really just a beater, or rather a guilty pleasure.
The Strat will come in time, my friend...
