Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

As I joined a band a few months ago, I've had to get myself some new pedals. I discovered Wampler. Oh man. SO good! My recent acquisitions include: Wampler Triple Wreck (soooo thick and heavy!) Wampler Faux Tape Echo Wampler Plextortion (I plugged an ESP into this pedal... INSTANT George Lynch tone,...

Re: Ramsey Cruise and ROXX, Sludge thinks you're HOTT!

It's a shame the ROXX website has been abandoned: http://roxxonline.tripod.com/index.html It was mostly a HTML maze with many deadends but if you knew how to navigate to the pics section there were pages & pages (10+) of classic ROXX images. There were even pics of a female ROXX member. Think s...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I'm looking to get a 5 string bass. I currently have a no-name neck-thru that isn't cutting it for me... Great lows, not enough mids/definition; just doesn't cut through. I also own a Carvin LB20 which I love so I was thinking of getting another Carvin. I'd mainly be using this for metal, sometimes...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

I just picked up an Alvarez Yairi DY76 acoustic 12 string. I sold a Taylor 6 string I didn't like anymore and actually paid less for the Alvarez Yairi, and the AY is something I'll actually USE, so... good deal. Anyway, it sounds awesome. Recently a friend brought over his Ovation 12 string that he ...

ESP makes their own copy of the King V as well as the Mustaine sig model they made for a few years that has an 8-ball at the first fret. They have the ESP pointy hadstock which some like and some don't. I've got an LTD Dave Mustaine King V style guitar. It feels great. It has kind of a dark tone, s...

The ES-135 sounds and plays great. I would like to get something like that this year. An affordable hollow body. I went to the Waterstone website, but they don't seem to be carrying hollow bodies anymore. I saw a couple of them on Ebay though. That Godin I posted a few pages ago is still in the run...

I'm very pleased with my newest acquisitions. The Schecter does exactly what I want it to. The ES-135 sounds and plays great. And the Eleven Rack... the more I experiment with it, the more I love it. I probably won't be making any more guitar purchases for a little while, as I need to deal with my n...

I picked up the Eleven Rack last night. I haven't had too much of a chance to work with it yet because I needed to get myself to bed, and I'm currently without a studio computer so I can't really try it out as an audio interface just yet. But it does seem damn cool so far. I won't say I'll never use...

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Went ahead and took your advice Toro. I scored this on ebay. Brand new perfect condition $479 plus $20 shipping. Plays like a dream, very happy with this. Still getting used to the p90s though, trying many different settings to dial in a tone. http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac146/TONOfGreen/P10...

I haven't bought any new gear lately. I've been throwing too much money at my video and nearly complete solo album.

I'm really itching to get my hands on a Fender Vintage Hot Rod '52 Telecaster though:

You guys make me feel old... I think we just used SM57s. The e609's sound is not all that different from an SM57. The Royer gives a very full sound (it's amazing how much what it picks up sounds like what you actually hear when you're right in front of the cabinet), but it's not particularly bright...
