New DigiTech TRIO - "Band in a Box"

I don't know if this has been covered in the NAMM thread or not, so.. Anyway, it looks like a great jamming/composing tool in the "sketch pad" sense. A Digitech rep has stated that it will be available in March, and the SRP will be US $179.95. http://digitech.com/en/products/trio [youtube]...

Re: Amp stands?

About $10 at Mitre 10. Flip it upside down, and Robert's your dad's brother. You can pack some gear in it, too.

Re: New Attenuator Day

When The Black Crowes call I can always buy stage gear then. The bad news is that unless something changes, they won't be calling anybody any time soon. The good news is that you'll have plenty of time to save your cash :mrgreen: . http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123765/Rich-Robinson-Announces-The-...

Re: Frankenamp

Looking at the bottom three pics, the "agonized over fractions of millimetres" is readily apparent. That is superb craftsmanship. Keep the progress pics coming!

Re: strap button placement

Here are your options as I see them. Leave the button on, and don't play above the 12th fret (bass players have no business being up there anyway :moresarc: ). Take and the button off, and: - don't play standing up under any circumstances. Ever. or... - do the singing cowboy thing you mentioned in y...

Re: Lets talk 12ax7's

Ryan has tung sol as well I believe, they seem to get great reviews :) I have some tung sol 6L6. Huge improvement from groovetube I didn't know Ryan had Tungsol, is anyone using Tungsol 12ax7's? I suggest you talk to Ryan. In my recent preamp valve-quest I talked to him and he schooled me. Here's t...

Re: Guess the amp vs digital

...But its worth clearing up a possible misconception in this post - Digital Modelling does not use any "chip or transistor" clipping to create tones.... Yeah, I shouldn't have included SS and modelling in the same breath. Still, I can't get a modeller to respond the same way as I can wit...

Re: NAD

Nice! I wish I'd had the $$ to take your Mini Rec off your hands 'cause the only thing that's missing for me is another one to run in stereo.
