I have Peavey Studio Pro 112 (single cone... Like 1 speaker or whatever you call it) amp and an AXL Amp Rapture Series quad box - http://www.axlguitars.com/aarap100hr412c.html

There are better ones out there but this only cost me $750 with the Head and Quad box. + I run my guitars through a Boss Metal Zone pedal anyway.

nice setup!

do you use any other effects besides the metal zone?

Hah!

I would love to own the whole BOSS Pedal series, like how they put it on display in the music stores.

But I would probably only use a few but anyway.

I only use the Metal Zone atm, I was thinking of buying a few more Distortion Pedals... BOSS make a Turbo Distortion Pedal, but I figured the Metal Zone can replicate that and a few other pedals so I have just stuck with that.

The Metal Zone can replicate a Fuzz, Overdrive and various Distortion Pedals + a few more pre-set settings... So it is kinda like a few/multi pedals in one.

Gota friend who's got a V-Amp effects unit and it contains probably over 100+ effects... You can sit there all day playing around with it.

yeah i have a korg AX1500G effect processor but only use it for practice and song writing... for gigs, rehersal and recording, i have 2 x distortion pedals - a vox cooltron bulldog and a mxr distortion iii... gives me a bit of variety... i don't use too many effects, i have delay, chorus, compressor, wah... i also have a tuner with mute and a noise supressor... pedal board was a bitch to make! i'm sure if i had the $$$ i'd go nuts and buy heaps of different pedals...

I use a POD :P 30 amps in one.

i hear they're pretty good...

although i am not the biggest fan of tone modelling and multi effects... i used to love it but found i could get better tones mucking around with a few pedals...

Well it's a proper amp simulator. I pick an amp (say a nice Mesa Boogie) and then I pick a cab (ranges from small practice amps to huge 4x12s), set the gain and EQ levels, then I go straight into my recording interface.

If I was doing gigs then I would use a real amp. The POD does a very good job though. A lot of qualified audio people haven't been able to tell the difference between my POD and an amp.

How do you find the KORG, VOX and MXR effect pedals as apposed to the BOSS products?

Or are they pretty much the same..?

The KORG AX1500G would be fun to use.

Different sounds and effects can help a lot with song writing as it also brings out a lot of interesting sounds, which you can make into a song.

+1 for Metal Zone

wouldn't mind a nice delay pedal though

Digital Delay would be sic for echo effects!

Flanger Pedals are fun.

Any of you tried an Acoustic Simulator? Does it really make an electric guitar sound acoustic?

Nah, not overly. I think it brings out the warmth of an acoustic but nothing can replace the true tones of an acoustic guitar.

Yeah that's for sure, I guess it save you from bring 2 guitars everywhere.

Still the best acoustic sound is from an acoustic guitar.

i love the vox and mxr pedals :P i have some boos pedals...

most of the boss are digital and have buffered bypass whereas the vox and the mxr have true bypass and are analogue... but they are all great... boss dd3 is a fantastic pedal!

the AX1500G is really good for practice (headphone jack means you don't need an amp)... some good effects and poor mans POD type amp modeling...

Whao! :P

That's some awesome equipment there!

"most of the boss are digital and have buffered bypass whereas the vox and the mxr have true bypass and are analogue" - How do you mean digital and true bypass?

Does that effect the sound of what the pedal will produce through your amp?

Whao! :sick:

buffered bypass is a circuit within guitar pedals that attempt to remove tone suck when the pedal is switched off. this is done because if you have lots of pedals in a chain, the signal can get weaker and the sound can be tanrished.

in true bypass, when the pedal is off, it's like its not even there.

as for digital and analogue, digital pedals can sound a little artificial, not all of them boss make excellent digital pedals (DD-3 being a prime example).

Good example of this is can be shown just by plugging a cheap effects pedal in without it switched on...the sound is noticeably different to plugging your guitar straight into the amp. Even on a 10 watt practice amp :sick:

Right I see...

Thanks for that!

100% correct! tone sap is a big issue. so is level reduction...

Right I see...

Thanks for that!

:(

no worries! i learnt a lot of stuff talking to other musos... i am still learning stuff...

Ok one more time... Haha!!

Most BOSS Pedals have a buffered bypass to reduce the tone suck, hence not tarnishing the sound = Still keeping a very Clean Channel sound when the pedals are off.

Ok got ya!

Cool! :)

Don't need one :)

Benefits of having a strat copy with a 5-way pickup selector and no humbuckers! On the 2nd and 4th positions most people can't tell my guitar from a recorded accoustic!

I reckon all the guitarists on here should have a solo/riff competition, where you record 15 seconds of sound and post it up. Don't know how judging would work though :S

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
