I think that's a phenomena that the Internet brings out in people. I'm certainly not counting on it being great but it might be an interesting pedal and if I don't like it I can always return it (the dealer has already agreed to that) or toss it on eBay. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

More like irrefutable proof that Zak will jump in and say something rude and provocative in almost any thread. I don't see anyone claiming any such thing - just people discussing the sound from the meagre evidence in the video clip, that's all. Do you feel compelled to undermine the validity of other people's input? Most of what's talked about here is like conversation in a bar - it's lightweight speculation and chit-chat. I don't think the board benefits from your policing it to ensure that the conversation comes up to a certain standard of importance or empirical verification. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

I a/b'd one of these yesterday at Portland Music with a Digitech Digiverb. The digiverb's spring setting blows the doors off the FRV. The FRV sounds "ok" and gets a decent tone. I just didn't think it got "drippy" enough. I didn't spend a ton of time with it so maybe its better than I give it credit for. |

Do you mean my original post on this subject or the one complaining about your comment? The first did - the reason for the other is self-evident and wasted a lot less column space than the 300 word or so rant against my 'intellectual abilities' that comprises most of your post. I doubt anyone found the dictionary dig hilarious or took it as seriously as you obviously did - it was just the obvious connection when you ran through other words beginning with 'T' to replace 'treachery' in my tag line. I'm sure you knew the words already but you do seem to have some big hang-up about intelligence:
Who cares either way? You obviously - what a childish comment - is your dad bigger than my dad too? My complaint about your comment contained barely a shred of personal antipathy in comparison to your reaction to it. It's you who doesn't seem to realise what's personal and what isn't: I complained about what you'd done - you attacked what I am. ie: Elderly cover-playing ass? Yeah, I have two bands that play covers to play the rent - there's nothing ignoble about that - plenty of the old bluesmen you champion did just the same. I also have two bands that are all original compositions. Resorting to ageism is below the belt. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

Anyone wish this thread would get back on topic? Just sayin. Maybe those that are feuding can take their discussion offline. |

Well I actually have played the pedal so you got that part wrong. The rest I pretty much agree with. |

Fact. estreet, Zak had a point about people judging things before they try them. We have a bad habit here of judging things just because they are digital, not vintage correct, or made from a certain material all before we even have a chance to use them.

The samples of heard of the DigiTech sounded pretty impressive for a stomp box. The drip was good enough to fool me. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

Don't attempt to teach me how to live, and I won't try to teach you anything.

Besides, you aren't very well-equipped for this sort of thing (you certainly made a few people laugh when you suggested I needed a dictionary in order to select to appropriate sobriquets for you - turgid and turbid, if memory serves me well...I'll wager any amount of money my vocabulary dwarfs your own).

I think that's the point for me. I'd love to have a Surf band but it just-plain ain't gonna happen where I live. Aside from Century Bob and his band members I don't know a single person in my area that has any interest in Surf. I'd love to have a Gomez Surfer and one of his reverb units to go with it but it would be a waste of resources. OTOH, I can sneak an occasional Surf song into public playing opportunities and if I can find a pedal that will give me some drip it's worth $100 or so to me. I don't care if it's a Boss pedal with a Fender logo on it or a Digitech model. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

There are a half a million (or more) permanent residents in your city. Put an ad in Craigslist or in the college rag. Be prepared to make some new friends. Make it happen! — |

I don't actually live in Tucson. I live about 30 miles east of there out in the desert. I just put Tucson as my location because nobody knows where J-6 Ranch is. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

More like the olde west. This is the Mescal site of Old Tucson Studios, the second most important loaction in the neighborhood. The most important location is the convenience store which keeps us supplied with both beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |
