WezV Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 http://gamechanger.music-man.com/videos i like it a lot. only issue i see is the momentary toggle - it has 15 settings but no way to see where you are in those 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Souls inc. Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thats awesome, but how many combos actually sound good , where do you keep the batteries and why not just make it into a pedal?? That switch could be the cause of some good frustration on stage........{which spot was I in ?? } all in all, very cool. Just not something I'll be messing with. They claim over 9,000,000 combos. I claim poppycock. There are probably 5 that sound good, and 8,999,995 that sound similar and/or useless........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 there will certainly be a lot that sound the same - no getting away from that! i think the momentary switch is mainly for editing which means on stage you would mainly use the 5-way switch and push/pull bank switch to give you quick access to any 10 options you choose to assign to those positions. i would say its more like 20-30 distinct and usable sounds rather than 5 though.

Our Souls inc. Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I will give in on the 5 thing...... I was thinking, one 3-way has 2 good sounds.. ( I never care for the middle position ) a 5 way has 3 good sounds ( again, I don't care for the 2 and 4 position ) so a 9,000,000 position has to have at least 5 good ones. It is an incredibly cool system for people looking for multi-toned guitars. I built my 'studio' horse.... 4 knobs and 3 switches on 5 pups........ you made a diagram showing me that I had enough magnetic pull to throw off a compass ! lmbo..... I think this will be accepted by the tone junkies, and shunned by the '1-pup-1volume-floyd rose' crowd. Still, you find the coolest guitar stuff ever.

ae3 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 It's a cool idea I guess, but it's really not what I want personally from a guitar. At the end of the day I just want to plug in and sound good. If I've learnt one thing it's the more complicated your rig is, the more likely it is to stuff up and give you a headache. To each his own though, this is coming from a guy who plays a les paul straight into a Marshall JCM800 afterall (Yes I know, I'm an 18 year old cave man) Thanks for the linky though, always good to keep up to date with our instrument of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ross Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 It's awesome that they're trying to push things forward and developing new technologies. With that being said, my layout of choice is two HBs, 3-way, maser volume and push-pull master tone for coil splitting. 6 very useable and distinct tones.
