Guys and gals, in light of the recent tragedy of having no GearPage for at least 12 hours, 43 minutes, and 14 seconds, I have decided that I have no other choice than to make this page a refuge for the few of you who actually come and read here. Okay, I’m lying. I’m making it a refuge for me…because I have trouble breathing properly without GearPage. So here’s some topics open for discussion that will hopefully tame our withdrawals through these dark hours. (And just for the record, I absolutely love the Gearpage and have learned a ton there…but I gotta have a little fun with a couple threads that pop up on there every now and then…and of course I have never posted anything on GearPage even remotely resembling these……riiiiight… ;) )
Which tubes will give me tons of clean headroom, but still breakup early?
True bypass is a myth! (Ed Roman and Pete Cornish content inside)
Which $50 pedal will nail John Frusciante’s tone?
The color of your shirt and how it effects tone
Robben Ford versus Eric Johnson
Eric Johnson sucks!
How can I tell if my cables are directional?
Why the Government Should Direct Bailout Funds to Foreign Policy (and come on guys, don’t turn this political) ‘Thread locked by Moderators’
Line 6 DL4 sucks!
Line 6 DL4…tone for days!
Selling all my pedals…tone is in the hands
The Edge’s Rig…so much wasted gear for a guy who just plays clean with echo
Edge’s tone changed my life!
What pedal will give me haunting mids, a mid-scooped drive, touch dynamics, low gain, high gain, and a mix between germanium and silicon fuzz, for under $100?
My Bad Monkey kills the Zendrive!
Bad Monkey…overhyped!
Celestion sucks
Webber sucks
Eminence sucks
Jensen sucks
Who makes the best multi-setting delay with tap tempo, true bypass, presets, a digital bpm readout, and dotted eighths in an MXR-sized box?
Delay versus Fuzz
What’s the best reverse analog delay pedal?
Why is it that bedroom players always have boutique amps?
FS: Klon Centaur with gold horsey man–steal it at $1650!
What overdrive pedals gave Jimmy Page that cranked Marshall sound?
Check out this clip of me NAILING Edge’s tone!
And hopefully this helps tide you over until that glorious moment when I hit refresh on my specific ‘GearPage browser’ that I never close, and it finally opens. I do love the GearPage, but here’s a couple little hints I learned after a year or so there that have helped me to not get lost fighting pointless and childless ‘internet forum battles to the death…or at least until someone goes to another website’: if someone self-proclaims that they have ‘nailed’ a famous guitarists’ tone……they haven’t. And secondly, the more people think they know, the less you can learn from them.
Splendid.
Karl.
