    lol, seriously, it's not of the greatest concern (for either of us, I suspect) - I thought it might have been an LP, but we established that it was in fact a Maranello. What would be of more interest would be to know a bit more about Maranello, just 'cause I'm a bit bored lol - do they copy traditional designs but change them so they look slightly different? Or would it be fairer to say that they're as much a genuine company with original designs as are Gibson, Fender, Gretsch etc.??


    More on ITALIA Maranello:

    They can be obtained for around 500.00 through the usual online dealers:

    Its the best money ive ever spent EVER
    before that i had a really amitation goth guitar (good to learn on but completely embarrassing to look at) - having a guitar i actually like has made me play so much more, and ive improved alot over the past few months, so its defo worth the money!
    A BOSS DD3 has also been bought this summer

    You swine James lol...
  4. Haha, everyone should own a DD3, its a great piece of gear!shop around though! i got mine for £60 on ebay, they retail from £90-120 x

  5. When I finally get a bit of decent cash floating around, I'm going to be investing in more than just a DD3 and an Explorer lol...but that ain't gonna happen for a while thogh. I wonder what incarnation of U2start we'd be on by then? 17.8?
  6. Hopefully for you, no!
    Ive got my eyes set on a flamin AC30 now....I CANT AFFORD ANY MORE IM A STUDENT AHHHHHHH

  7. Ha, I've been a student in waiting for the last couple of years, but now Uni.'s just around the corner, I'm gonna be in the same boat...depressing whilst simultaneously good lol. Amps are not quite a priority, ;cause my poxy little Yamaha isn't too shabby (sure, you put it up agaisnt a Marshall and you're stuffed, as I've found at various jams with friends over the years) but I don't often have it turned up over 2-3 'cause of the family, so I'm more focusing on the sounds I can get out of the amp rather than how big it is

    Yeah i know what you mean, In a dreamland id go and get a new amp, but my Fender frontman does the job at the minute. when i get my degree and start earning (or rob a music shop) ill have one!
  9. Also, does anyone know what/or whats the best echo unit out there? (pedals wise) the Boss RE20 looks really cool!


  10. Boss DD-20 Giga Delay is very Edge-useful, for a stompbox.
  11. I use the DD-20 and it's great, as I've stated here before. It's awesome for Edge delay. It's got mod delay, and you can control it's rate and depth, and it has an LED screen so you can dial in exact delay times. Perfect.
