  1. And today I managed to find a store that carried the low-profile, flat ended patch cables! You would be amazed at how much room they save...I'm not used to using them and I rigged my whole board up with them- so much nicer looking!!

    Oh, almost forgot to mention they had a used one of these bad boys too so I mean I pretty much had to pick one up....

    as for shimmer. I would personally like to recommend the strymon blue sky. totally amazing and probably not too much more expensive then the tc. Great sounding unit.

    The Bluesky is double the price of the TC.

    Yesterday I actually became interested in a multi-fx.... The TC Nova System. It seems really interesting and I'd sell my Boss DD-20 that I'm not 100% satisfied with. It has an analog dist/OD circuit. I really want to try one at least.
  3. I started with a digital multi unit and found myself hating how processed my sound became.

    Sell me your Boss DD20 though

  4. Well, as I said it has analog dists and drives. Things like pitch effects, your delay, most reverbs pedals, and many modulations (especially if they're time based) are digital anyway. And I think it was a cheaper Digitech thing you had wasn't it? I'd think TC would be better.

    I think shipping the DD-20 would be a bit too expensive.
    Anyway, it's nothing I am decided on. I hope to try one soon though.
  5. I was merely teasing about the DD20

    And yes, most of the reverbs are digital- at least the ones you and I have been looking at- so that's really not a bad route to go honestly. I was always fairly satisfied with the reverb and whammy options within the Digitech, but I've officially phased that out of my board.

    I totally agree on "digital sucks" if we're talking dist/OD... That's when we can talk processed sounding.
  7. The greatness is on the fingers. Forget about a reverb being digital or analog, or your multi effect unit not being the best around, and improve your playing&ear skills instead. The effects will come afterwards and only then you'll get the most of them. Mark Knopfler playing a $90 Strat copy into a 10W amp will sound better than most of us playing a $1200 guitar through a $350 effects chain and into a 100W valve amp. Just sayin'

  9. True. Although, I am addicted to effects. So...
  10. BTW: You have a TC Polytune Matt? Would like to hear what you think of it.
  11. Ok, so I actually got kind of interested in a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Strat yesterday. A store has one in Candy Apple Red which just hangs on the wall screaming for me.
  12. I'll be feeling up this £700 worth of magic anytime soon:
