Right now; tuner, HPF/LPF, comp, chorus, ParaDriver. Sometimes just the ParaDriver. Depends on the gig. B.

In my experience, 99.9% of live music performance issues could be solved this way. B.

It does this very well. It's just a matter of tweeking the Drive and Blend settings to match your playing style. B.

This would be awesome. My wish is the Tech21 Paradriver with variable HP/LP filters built in. And a mute button. B.

Another vote for SansAmp. Battery or phantom powered, great tone, lightweight and super reliable. The only thing I like better is the ParaDriver. B.

I tried it in both positions, and it works best for me before the comp. The lows hit harder without getting muddy and its tighter and more focused than it was when running it after the comp. I don't use modulation pedals much anymore, but it seems like I remember running HPF before them as well...

Here's mine in all it's boring glory. Simple and effective. Under the board is a JOYO re-chargeable power supply. B.

100% agree. If they decide to do the same with the Paradriver, I'm in. B.

I have a Dicosimo 800RB preamp that gets really close to the '80s GK 800 vibe. I've never recorded with it so not sure how it will work for you in the studio. But it shines on stage for me. B.

I'm a huge fan of the 800 RB amp and played one exclusively for about five years. Now that I'm ampless the Dicosimo is a faithful likeness. Plenty of GK grunt. I run the DI out direct to the board for live gigs. It's close enough that I don't miss carrying an amp anymore. I do wish it had the...

PSA No matter what you choose to store them in, remember to remove the batteries. Especially alkaline. Double especially if they are Dura-leaks. B.

Since we're doing a wish list, I'd like a Programmable ParaDriver. Pleeeeese! B.

Any email I get that offers something for "free", and is a "limited time offer", and tells me I'm "special", goes un-opened to the SPAM folder. Then gets deleted. Then Expunged. No exceptions. B.

Awesome idea and looks like it works well. But one suggestion. If those are really strong magnets, like the "rare earth" type, keep them far-far away from your pickups. There's a possibility that they can permanently damage the magnetic pole pieces. B.

My only regret is getting the 2.5mm. Now, I wish I'd gotten the 3mm. B.
