U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Decided to cancel the pedalboard plans (if I ever mentioned that) and am going to get my Line 6 M9 heavily modded instead (sound quality mod, better button mods, added scene select button mod)
Just sold my telecaster tonight and in the same trip went to the music store and picked up a blue Ibanez artcore hollowbody that's been sitting there for months. Everytime I've gone in there I say "hey no one has still bought it!" well a few days ago I went in again and it was still there and I decided I'd sell my tele (didn't take long to find somebody) and pick it up. And it's freakin' awesome. Looks like this: (gotta love those inlays)

I've also actually ordered another Joyo... Without even trying it first. The Joyo Sweet Baby Low-Gain Overdrive. This Youtube demo just made me need to have it. It just sounds like the kind of overdrive I want.

I'm on holiday now so my focus is on music. I think I got a pretty cool lead tone in this today. It's my Sheraton into the Bad Monkey which gives a lot of sustain, it is then "chopped up" by a very short 25 ms reverse delay on my Boss DD-20, it then goes through the new chorus into the the clean channel on my Peavey Valveking 112 with a lot of treble taken out on the amp's EQ. I think it sounds cool. This is an unfinished project, so it's well, unfinished, need to add more stuff to the song. I thought someone could be interested in the tone I got though, because I really like it.

Getting that new amp a month back was such a great decision. It's so much more fun to play guitar nowadays.

Oh, serious kudos on this Kieran. I wish I had bought the one with the tone wicker but I caught a deal on the regular pi model on eBay and couldn't pass it up. That one definitely sounds better to my ears, though. I hope you have fun with it.

Smashing Pumpkins songs sound amazing with that thing engaged.

Sweet mother of Zeus. That's softcore pornography right there.
