U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

I tried a Verbzilla in the store. I really liked the effect, but in the end I didn't buy it. I can't accept the fact that these are much more expensive here in Europe, they only cost half as much in the USA (109USD compared to 159EUR). But US dealers don't send them to Europe... not even Amazon.com does.

I think I'm gonna order the Behringer Verbzilla Clone (RV600 Reverb Machine) instead. It's got some good reviews and it only costs 49EUR.

reverb can be pretty although is is not my favorite effect.

That's right. I've already got a Dano Corned Beef mini reverb that I only rarely use with a few clean Tuna Melt tremolo sounds, and this is absolutely sufficient for me. I don't need additional reverberation. But the mentioned "shimmer" effect is a must- have to me, something completely different. And it seems that the only affordable "shimmer" in Europe is the "Space modus" of the Behringer Reverb Machine.

I'll give a short review in a few days. But I'm quite confident it will be fine. On the Verbzilla I even found a sweet spot for bass guitar.

BTW, are there any opinions on the Behringer BSY-600 Bass Synth pedal? For 39 EUR it seems like a steal to me.

I don't have a lot of experience with bass synth pedals, but once I wanted to get the one from Boss, and I heard some quite cool samples...but it was incredble expensive too.

That's right. I was asking because the Behringer is said to be a Boss clone and I thought maybe someone can compare it to the real thing. Well, most likely it's close enough except for the plastic case - but I'm quite confident it won't break when I step on it.

Isn't there a store where you can try both?

Couple new videos using my new Gibson Explorer. Tell me what you guys think about the pickups and the sound and stuff. Thanks

Sounds like you have a lot of fun.

Honestly: The youtube sound quality isn't good enough to give a detailed review. But on the vid it sounds like Edge. Surely close enough for 99.9% of all listeners. What kind of delay do you use?
