lolz

and i noticed warwolf is too much metal for one hand :wink: :twisted:
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

So cool to meet you all for the first time....let it not be the last time


Cheers to Mark for getting this off the ground.-Loved tWarWolf's C tuned SG2000....would have liked a fuller demo of Neils laptop rig....Thought Jeremy's tube screamer clone was better than any TS Ive tried! Funch the BCR and the Moser take the glitz award..Phil gets the "forget pedals Im here to rock" award...Sty's Bulleye hit the spot.......Ed you can stop sweep picking now......trex - hope the hand gets better!....who did I miss

Thank you for the feedback on the gats...lot of fun!

Nice photos :)

It was cool hanging out, seeing all the equipment and meeting some fellow guitar appreciators. The awesome thing is the diversity of the effects, guitars, amps and that's without going into how they're played!

Hey Lawrence, feel free to ask me any questions on the laptop setup.

You can hear some demos I've created using it here:
http://www.myspace.com/thegonadmanifest

I have to stress that the music on there is basically just a scatch pad of ideas thrown together in a handful of minutes. (So you'll have to forgive out of tune guitars, bad timing etc) - you get the idea though. All done on the PC - all with nothing other than a clean guitar...

There is of course scope for using a mic'd up sound, or reamping your clean recording through your amp setup etc. for those who need to include their beloved hardware.

I bought the Blackstar pedal as I'm not happy with the high gain tones of the software...so there will be a compromise somewhere...Actually, to here the difference, compare the "Fight" demo with the "Fight - (Tube test)" one. I re-did the intro with the Blackstar to see if it had potential. Pretty big difference to me...it's enough to make it worth redoing everything I think. The sound is a lot smoother, with loads more harmonic content.
