  1. I don't think that your assertion of Edge's view on analog delays is correct. What article are you referring too?

    I don't think his beginning to use other delays, than the EH Deluxe Memory Man were due to not liking the tone. In fact he loves the warmth.

    In fact, the rack units that he's gone to are due to the fact that they do have that warmth, similar to analog units. That and he liked the pre-amp in the Korg SDD-3000.

    He's still used analog delays in the studio.

    The issue was the old EH Deluxe Memory Man were unreliable. He liked the sound and the warmth of them.

    He began using the SDD-3000 in 1983 (along with the EH DMM). What he liked then, and now about the Korg SDD-3000 is that it has that warmth, similar to and analog delay. This is also one of the selling points for the TC Electronics 2290 - It's pretty warm for a digital unit.

  2. These lil piggies - are pretty darn cool. Check `em out!


    Pigtronics Class A Boost. ($119) - Might be the one to go to for 20db clean boost. Probably a good one to use instead of the crazy priced old Boss FA-1. Cheaper than a Durham Sex Drive.

    Pushes amps and/or dirt pedals nicely.




    And in the Pigtronics Philosophers Rock. ($149) - Great compressor/sustainer. Not noisy like the some of the Boss and MXR compressors...

    ...+ it's got a 'grit' switch for Germanium Distortion. Sort of a three in one. Compressor. Sustain and Germanium Distortion.

  4. ProGuitarShop is a great place to buy gear. Lately Andy has been doing some lessons on various songs. Here's one of the latest - "Beautiful Day"

    Concise but it gives a solid view of the basic bits.

    I can't remember which article or interview it was, but I really seem to remember hearing him talk about how he thought they sounded pretty crappy compared to the digital units he got later on. I could be remembering wrong, but I'm too lazy to find said article/interview.
  7. I don't think it needs any introduction, would anybody be interested in buying my ZT Lunchbox??
  8. how much alex? just curious
  10. High-end Stratocaster or Telecaster... for your Edge needs... but without the Fender Custom Shop prices?

    Two guitar makers come to mind. King Bee and Nash.

    I've seen a lot of the relic'd and various Fender Custom Shop guitars. They are cool. They are decent guitars. But many of them are in the $2200-$5000 range, depending on the guitar.

    King Bee Guitars - Their bass model T-Style (Tele) or S-Style (Stratocaster) start at $999. The guitars are great. The finish works is great. And the Lollar pickups sound fantastic.

    While their basic/base model is $999, they will make guitars to order. So if you want more relic'ing vs. closet classic look or you have other pickup specs in mind... Porter pickups, Lollars, you name it... TV Jones... These guys can do it - and even with more work and other items than the base model, you can still get a Tele, Strat or Jazzmaster type guitar for under $2K = cheaper than Fender Custom Shop.

    Another great guitar maker is Bill Nash (out of Washington state). They over a variety of Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster style guitars. And they have a ton of great vintage color finishes too. You want a Fiesta Red Tele that LOOKS like a vintage, aged-faded Fiesta Red.... These guitars can do it. I've seen the Nash guitars in the $1600 to $2200 range - depending upon components. They still come in cheaper than a lot of the Fender Custom Shop guitars.

    Nash also makes some Precision and Jazz bass copies that are quite good.

    Both offer some great guitars at prices that are more than competitive with Fender Custom Shop. I highly recommend both guitar makers - They make some great guitars for the budding Edge or Adam tribute folks out there.
  11. i can speak to the awesomness that is Lollar pick ups. LOVE mine in my strat.
  12. It has been way too long since this topic has been active...

    well new gear updates. I bought a fernandes native guitar and installed kent armstrong p90s. love the sound of it. it nails discotheque like nothing ive ever played.

    also bought a 5 watt epiphone valve jr to run with my vox night train. sounds killer. played them both together last night and i was blown away.

    also right now im using an empress vintage modified super delay. which is incredible but am trading it for 1978 deluxe memory man and a boss dd7. which im stoked about. whats going on with my other gear heads? Alex, Jeff? Sergio?
