    The A3 is an expansive unit...but really the only great sound as far as my opinion is concerned is the mysterious ways sound. I think thats all sergio was trying to say....

    and Alex, Jeff and anyone else interested...im picking up my strat today! Its my old standby. Its a simple 2007 Mexican STandard that I had completely overhauled. Brand new switches, pots and capacitors (the latter of which I hand picked for tone quality (.047 orange drops). New black pick gaurd to match Edges strat. Blocked off the tremolo for increased sustain since I prefer to neck bend. And last but certainly not least. Lollar vintage blackface pickups. Theyre wound like 60s strats. Its gonna sound outrageous.

    and for anyone whose curious my youtube account is Mrvegeta365. Ill be posting soundclips of my guitars and pedals
  3. Well, I'd disagree about the Korg. The Zooropa sound is also pretty great for example. Also, some of that "cold" early digital dist and od is pretty cool. Gives a different sound.


  4. this is the strat. Sounds fantastic. let me know what you guys think :)
  5. That blackie looks awesomeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
  6. Funnily enough, I just managed to take the first trustworthy, reliable photo of my Strat's unique finish... It's not that shiny, it's a tiny bit darker in person, but at least the emeral finish is shown like it is!

  7. I was tuning after changing strings, and my spanish guitar's headstock has violently crashed. Fuck! Never suffered this accident before. Let's hope the fretboard and the general structure hasn't suffered any damage...


  8. probably too high gauge strings. what a bummer
  9. Same gauge as always Nah, the tuning machines are old as fuck (probably 30 years or more, almost as much as the guitar itself) and they probably couldn't handle yet another string change + tuning session. What a bummer, yeah. I hope its excellent sound doesn't change much when I change the headstock machines...
