^ can't turn on his pedals because he has two left feet

Good point, at least that was constructive criticism. I fixed the post, hopefully to everyone's satisfaction.

Well it really happened, it's a story but a true one. I am just a peavey player so i don't know if this problem is something that actually happens often or not.

Its just a story that i heard from one of my friends which happened to him. I honestly just think they sound like crap but that's all personal opinion, I have no reason to attempt to sabotage G-Ks reputation on something as inconsequential as this forum i just saw the post and told my story...

i don't know all the details but supposedly a loose wire caused the thing to begin smoking pretty bad and sparks where coming out the back of the unit so he took it back. I'm pretty sure he traded it for a peavey or fender or something. it could have just been a freak accident but it caused me...

try phrygian, minor, and harmonic minor they are your basic metal scales and they help with playing fast if that's what your going for, but even if you practice running up and down the blues scale. also practice arpegios they help with hand strength and get that pinkey working.

I have used the same planet waves 20 foot with a 90degree for 6 years and i will never use anything else. it seems to have equal or better sound quality than all the monsters i have had except my planet waves isn't broken and has gone through the same beatings as my monsters.

If you get the OLP you can change them out part by part until you have a music man, plus it will give you that sound your looking for. Plus their a pretty quality build for the price. You can't go wrong with an Officially-Licensed-Product ha

The bongos look horrible but are more versitile, go with a stingray double bucker and get the best of both worlds.

I heard that GKs have power amp issues. one of my buddie's GKs almost caught on fire after having it for 6 months.

The big muff for bass is great for a really vintage sounding fuzz but i got rid of it for a sans amp cause its more versatile. I think the EH would be great for you though. p.s. boss odb-3 is pretty horrible

does a G&L L2000 count, it does both?

i am assuming that you are going for a spector euro lx sound where anything with p/j emgs (active) and an alder body might be able to get you close but if you can get that tone pump eq somewhere you can get even closer.

good luck, the tone pump onboard eq is what gives a spector that great sound along with the tone woods. but without that preamp its going to be hard.

I am in a metal band with a ton of breakdowns but we only have one guitarist, so when he is playing lead parts the live sound is flat. I was thinking about using a harmonizing pitch shifter to one octave up and using a big muff for bass to round everything out but i wanted to see if anyone had a...
