Re: Gearhead Thread
There's just so much packed into them. The Boss' anyway. 11 different modes, hold for sampling, tap tempo, ridiculous delay time, etc...

I've owned a Boss DD-5, DD-7 and DD-8 at various times (among other analog and digital delays).
They're all good at what they do.

Re: Gearhead Thread
I think I need a solid year of daily practice before I even think about a delay pedal. I’m 2 months in.

Re: Gearhead Thread
What do you guys use for a pedal board? Ideally I'd like something I could suitcase. I have a Joyo power supply which is quite bulky, so it'd have to sit underneath or take up a lot of top room. I don't mind as long as I can make it portable.

Its the best for a reason. However, one day, i might maybe send my stuff off to this place and have them custom build:

Re: Gearhead Thread
I've had a DD-3 since the 90s and a carbon copy since they came out. Both are great pedals and i used to keep both on my board for different flavors of delay.tragabigzanda wrote:curious what you guys like about the digital delays? I've got a vintage Ibanez AD-80, and bought it way back when because Sonic Youth used it and it was analog. No opinion how it sounds compared to digital. Or is there a greater range of delay times/sounds you can get out of digital? Any thoughts?Self wrote:I was thinking of adding a digital delay to my board.

These days my 'board' is just a Line 6 HX Effects and a fuzz pedal. I find it does everything i need in a live scenario without all the fail points of a pedalboard. I've had so many pedals/cables cause issues during live gigs over the years that i just said fuck it.

Re: Gearhead Thread
Facebook won’t stop showing me this ad for a 12-string Ibanez acoustic guitar for $299 and god damn if that ad hasn’t almost worked several times. I kinda want one.

Re: Gearhead Thread
If you had 15 grand to spend, where would you go?
I think I'd probably go with a 5 string Fodera Monarch, or a fretless Zon. Or a Wal.

Re: Gearhead Thread
Talk me in to (or out of) buying this for $350 used and in great condition.
I have a Squier Tele and I wanted to get something with humbuckers also.
Is this gonna be good for loud music with the right pedal? Like Metallica.
