Re: pictures of your gear here

That's what I was picking up from the various YouTube demos I'd seen.

I really don't need another dirt pedal though.

So, will probably get one :roll: :lol:

Always thought these looked amazing. Such a nice colour. Plus the B&B.

How do you find the DS-1w, Thom? The custom mode sounds pretty good from YouTube demos I've watched.

Re: SHORTSCALEGEARDEMO: Joyo American Sound

In my opinion everyone should own a joyo /Harley Benton American sound I have two They really are that good. No speaker emulation... Are you sure about that, Mike? I thought they were the same as the Tech21 ones except you couldn't turn off the speaker emulation? The blurb on Joyo's website seems t...

Re: SHORTSCALEGEARDEMO: Joyo American Sound

I've got a bunch of the Joyo/Harley Benton ones but the manuals for the original Tech 21 versions have some suggested settings to (supposedly) get the sounds of the original amps. This manual covers the Blonde (Fender), British (Marshall), California (Mesa) and Liverpool (Vox): LANK The suggested se...

Re: SHORTSCALEGEARDEMO: Joyo American Sound

This thread started me down a rabbit hole, to find out exactly what kind of "amp" I was modeling with my preferred Sansamp Classic settings, so now I am also looking at the "California" Joyo model I forgot about that one, weird that they've got 2 Fender-style simulators, though ...

Re:

Does joyo make a clone of the tech21 Oxford? The Oxford is an Orange sim isn't it? Don't think Joyo/Harley Benton make ones of those currently. They just make the Fender, Vox, Marshall and Mesa-Boogie ones. Suspect it may not be preying on his mind after almost 10 years but, if Finboy's still inter...

Re: Momentary lapse of reason: Squier Paranormal Offset Tele in Shell Pink

Yeah, "gritty" is a pretty good description. They don't have the same smoothness as the ones on my Fender Jags (or my Squier Bass VI for that matter). A couple of them have some play in them before they catch too. I've not been bothered to swap them out tbh as they're perfectly functional ...

Indeed. Looks lovely.

I've got one of the Paranormal Cyclones and it has similarly janky tuners, but is otherwise pretty great.

Re: Wah

I finally got round to buying a wah - went for the Vox V845 Noice! it has a lot less hiss than the Crybaby I used to have had. My Crybaby (bought new c1991 - no idea what more recent ones are like) is noisy as fuck. Never used to bother me back in the day but these days I generally stick with my Bo...

Re: New paranormal baritone colors. Oxblood and puke green

I got a Epiphone Les Paul II doing fuck all. If I got it setup with Mammoth Slinkies it'd be same sorta vibe as these? Did this with an Epiphone Dot and some Chrome 13s but never got on with it tbh. Feel was off and had a lot of tuning issues around the lower frets even though it intonated fine at ...
