hahaha 15s 1/4 @ 100mph?

0-60 in 5s?

Hmm... you'd think a 5 sec. car would break into the 13's in the 1320.

thats really off topic. if i say i dont have room to spare for extremely large pics it means i dont have room. i only have 10megabytes space

Oh, you said server. So your account is full. If you're unix savy, check out FreeShell. Otherwise, there have been other threads on this forum about pic hosting.

servers full up

Huh? What's it got a 20MB hard drive? Let's say a picture (large) is 100k, and you have 10 pictures. Your server doesn't have 1 MB to spare?!?!?!

Maybe post a picture on the Epi forum and ask there?

How about here?

no problem!

MikeB, from you various posts, it sounds like you have a background in electronics. Why don't you build some of these stomp boxen yourself? There are schematics available on the web.

I dug through my Linkagogo bookmarks. There are probably a lot of sites like this but this one seems like a good start.

yes, the less said about such things, the better, lol! i think i will have to check the boss stuff! the electro harmonix get constant good reviews, do they do the big muff? and if so whats it like?

mike

I have an old big muff... hmm... that sounded funny . No, it's just sitting around gathering dust. MikeB, from you various posts, it sounds like you have a background in electronics. Why don't you build some of these stomp boxen yourself? There are schematics available on the web.

i didn't even have to do that, i could just tell from the pic, recognized the numbering system and the backdrop.... basicly just how it was photographed...

You must have spent much more time at his site than I have .

What's the Ed Roman connection ?

Depending on your browser... try right-clicking on the image. Look for something like "Image properties" (that's what it is in Opera.) The image is from Ed Roman's site.

ps at a concert my friend did, first act on, i was on like 6th, but his tube amp bust as he switched it on behind the curtain, my the panicking!! it was all tube tho.

Yup, I'm gonna have to guess that it was a power amp tube that went bust.

yeah! i thought so, i dont know what do get then, cos my korg is lacking something in the distortion/overdrive area.

Could it be that the something "lacking" is that it's not tube?

i think its like you get accustomed and attached to a certain sound, and begin to love it. i started on solid state when i first played, and now have a cool one my dad made. they are good and reliable! valves are notorious for busting when u need them.

mike

Yeah, I agree to a certain extent, hence my choice of tube pre-amp and SS power amp. I still use my 14 year old ADA MP-1 tube pre-amp. I've had absolutely no reliability issues with it in all that time.

Oh I forgot to mention... if you are all SS, then I'd say don't bother with an overdrive pedal. That I think will sound way too harsh.

im a solid state man, born and bred this will cause ructions, lmao!!! i like solid state, and proud of it!

I'm in the middle, tube pre-amp and SS power amp. Yes, modern SS pre-amps can sound pretty good... but man, after playing tube after YEARS of SS amps with MANY different fuzz boxen... there is NO substitute .

thats what i thought! i think ill try find one in a guitar shop and pester them to let me play it!

ps what are the boss overdrive / super overdrive / distortion pedals like?

mike

Do you have a tube amp? Or at least a tube pre-amp?

Hmm... digital? These pedals are designed to overdrive your pre-amp... and as such should sound very transparent in your chain, imparting very little or no characteristics of it's own. Perhaps the pre-amp that you've tried it with was "digital" sounding.

Hey, that's the new guy's (gal's?) site.

Was Queen around in the 60's? If so, Brian May! Hmm... Robert Fripp? Ugh, hard to think of both English and 60's.

FRANK ZAPPA MAN! Hes INCREDIBLE some of the most complex rythyms of all time. what a genious. i like beck i dont like clapton though.

I didn't know Frank Zappa was English.

Jam master J?

Heh! Not quite. Jean-Michel Jarre (see the second post in this thread.) Synth music.

4 days is an awfully long time on ebay. A lot can happen... especially in the last few minutes of the auction . I usually bid on things in the last 5 seconds or so.

Very cool. I wish I could have a hand-held version of that.

That's easy! Buy a PDA, connect it to the net, and go to that web page. Then, save it for later. If your PDA won't read that site, I can recreate that web calculator as a mobile web page lickity split.

Do PDA browsers have a javascript implementation? That "online" calculator is done in JS.

Yeah, I almost got one of those DG stomps when they were $169 at MF. When I was ready to buy, the price jumped back up to $299 . I think Yamaha discontinued them and are now making the MagicStomp.

While not strictly a distortion stomp box device, y'all should check out the V-Stack. Listen to the clips on the "SAMPLES" link. I couldn't find sound clips of the "King of Tone" on it's website so I can't compare. I liked the sounds that the analog V-Stack produces... in constrast to all the different DSP's (POD, V-Amp2, etc.) "sameness" (which admittedly still sounds pretty good.)
