    Obviously I know what this is, being a huge pedal junkie, but I tried one of these out at Guitar Center for about a half hour just to play, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get one single good delay sound out of it. I guess I'm just partial to digital delay, or maybe I needed a few hours and the owner's manual. I should watch some demon on YouTube to see what it can do, though.

    I misspoke. I tried the MEMORY BOY. I remember now because I said there much be a HUGE difference. I practically wanted to kill myself when I was done with it, it was so much trouble. But I'm impatient at Guitar Center.

    Speaking of pedals, btw, on my wish list right now...

    -EH Big Muff Russian Built
    -EH Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer
    -ISP Decimator Noise Reduction
    -VooDoo Lab Pedal Power 9v box
    -VooDoo Lab Footswitcher

    and if I was being completely unrealistic, let's add...

    -Route 66 OD/Distortion
    -Boss Auto-Wah
    -MXR Eddie Van Halen Phaser
    -Boss Flange

    Just need to win the lottery or something, I guess.


    ya i get that. I bought the memory boy a couple months back and it sucks. I traded in and bougth the Boss DD5 Digital Delay on craigslist. I should mention that the step down from a memory boy is in in my humble oppinion, a huge step up. You can get the EH Memory Toy for about 80 bucks. Its warmer and easier to use than the memory boy...check it out! Now im selling the DD5 for a rare oppurtunity to buy a DMM for $235 which is nearly unheard of. Im partial to analog effects because they dont suck your tone. Most BOSS pedals are notorious for tone sucking. In the case of the DD5 it complately thins out your tone and for the style of music I play thats highly undesirable. I still am shocked to hear that edge has many BOSS pedals. But...it works for him ya know? So if you like the the digital delays thats totally fine im just really into the warm sounds of analog and tube amps
  2. Matt, TAKE your acoustic to the university. It's an order.



  4. Likewise, when I brought my acoustic to college last year it improved my playing 10x


  5. Almost anything is better than sitting and studying. Playing music is for sure!
  6. Pretty sure my parents wanted to hear me say I'd leave it at home for now, for whatever reason (maybe the fact that they're paying multiple thousands of dollars, and would rather me not have one more distraction from studying to earn the educaiton ), and so they're pretty set on me not bringing it now. Don't worry about it- it'll come with me in a few weeks.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. You have to honor your parent's effort.
    I do honor my father's effort of buying me the bass I try to study too, but I am a little more relaxed since my university is "for free".


  8. I second that emotion. Take your guitar! The chicks will love it too!
  9. I completely understand the problem with your parents. 100%. Well, my previous post was more or less a joke, you know it... But you won't miss it too much for a few weeks/months, first you have to settle at your new residence and get off to a good start on the university. And then, there will be time to think of buying a cheap acoustic or bringing your old one.... don't worry for the moment.
  10. Damn, we've got all serious now he's mentioned his parents!



    But seriously though, I think it's probably the best with that in mind - my parents help me along with my uni. expenses, but for the most part it's taken from student loans provided by government-affiliated companies which are in turn financed by taxpayers' money, so by the end of this year I'll have accrued c. £20k of debt to pay, yay.

    Just make sure you get a guitar in your filthy mits ASAP or you'll go bananas
  11. hey guys, can anyone help me find stuck in a moment acoustoc tabs? it´s not jus the standar E G#m A etc... but with the licks and tuning edge uses here:



    Thanx!
  12. I'm almost certain the tuning, having messed around to find it out myself, is:

    E
    B
    G#
    E
    B
    E

    You're essentially playing E major as an open chord, and then, for example, barre-ing the entire neck to play A and B. Can't help with any tab I'm afraid though, I worked it out just through messing about because I can't be arsed with them
