    i picked up an mxr stereo chorus today after reading some good reviews. i liked the EQ on the wet side and the fact that it's got a mix knob etc.

    it was promising in the store. the leslie-esque was better than the choralflange.


    I think you'll like having stereo. all choruses should be stereo IMHO.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    ok. plugged into the fender/orange, stereo through the echo park & verbzilla and it's heavenly.

    basically perfect. i'll know better in a while but i'd say it's a fitting rival to the choralflange.


    also, if anyone's interested in my DL4, it's up for sale. 97% mint. no adapter though. offers?

    nice. I'm probably selling my DL4 too. I may end up with the Digitech Delay for a while or forgo it altoegther. I want a Wiggler and I have guitar mods to pay for.

    What are you asking for the DL4 $200?

    don't bother with the digidelay. it's a major letdown after the dl4. i'm liking the echo park now for footprint and somewhat different stereo behaviour. both it and the verb are quieter than the past ones I had.

    let's go $200 shipped within NA. if anyone's interested i'll send pics. in box with manual etcetc.

    I'm assuming the Motorave is a semi-hollowbody?

    I like the Terrycaster better, actually...I love it

    How much do those go for?

    Depending on how you spec 'em out, $3300 and up. Terry has a midrange control built into that guitar that is similar in function to a Pultec. If I go Terrycaster, I'll have a Fralin P-92 in the neck instead of the mini-hum. :)

    eek

    Last night I went to a friends house and he invited over a few local musicians to jam last night. This guy had an SG and put in the Fralin p-90...sweet jesus that sounded good, I didn't ask what the wind was of the pickups (if I used that term correctly, haha :) )

    anyway, I said in another post before...Maybe I'll just get a used Rivera amp or a Delta Blues and run both of them and take the roof off of my apartment...lol

    This may not be bad for a practice amp for me considering I would go from 40 watts to 25.

    or this to add with an AB box :D

    I have the Fralin P-92's (humbucker-sized P-90's) in my Delia. Best pickup I've ever heard, and that includes vintage gibson P-90's and PAF's.

    Voila! :D :

    As far as gear? I need the third gear for my transmission in my MG,, but that won't get done this year.

    I'll have to look into the Fender Concert Reverb. 12 watts would be perfect to not piss off neighbors, and 50 watts would be more than enough for any live situation I'm likely to come across and plenty of headroom I'd imagine. The amps overdrive isn't much of a factor for me since I have a Shannon OD and a Keeley BD-2...as long as the amp takes pedals well that's all I need. Thanks for the tip. The Delta Blues has a really nice overdrive but I never use it (thanks to Mr. Shannon).
    Not to be a wet blanket - and the Concert Reverb is most centainly a nice amp - but 12 watts will most certainly piss off your neighbours, unless they like really loud guitar, or you live on a farm.

    Priority List:

    Hard case for the strat ($100)
    BD-2 ($80)
    More Cables ($20)
    A-stand ($15)
    Crybaby ($60)
    Epiphone Casino (black sunburst + hard case) ($500-$600)
    Nice Fender or Marshall tube amp ($800-$1000)

    The first few toys will be fun and easy to get, the last few will be more fun but probably not until later next year.

    i'd go with with a new amp over most of that stuff...plus the BD-2 isn't going to sound as good as it can unless it's plugged in with a tube amp

    a Gibson SG....and to be good enough to warrant a better amp.

    A tube amp then? I was looking at the Frontman 25 DSP with all the effects, sounds intriguing. It's $200. Frontman 212R has 100W instead of 25 with reverb but no fancy effects or anything like that. Both have good reviews, but they're solid-state. I've got a Roland Cube-15 right now and it works fine for a practice amp. Is the fender Hot Rod Deluxe or Blues Junior my best bet for a tube amp? I'm on a budget so best value works for me.

    I have a Blues Junior, and its a fantastic amp. 15 Watts, but it can crank.

    I'm really digging the reverb, so I think a Blues Jr. may be "it". I'll try one out this weekend.

    I'm aware of this, but it's much more manageable and way better than trying to find good tone at reasonable volumes on a straight 40/50 watter. I have a 30 watt right now and haven't gotten evicted yet :)
