That one actually looks quite hot though, the Hiwatt just doesn't look right.

See, I think the HiWatt looks fantastic in that colour scheme. Also:

HiWatts are about the cleanest, clearest amps in the world; the problem would be getting it to break up without it flapping your trousers clean off. In fact, I think we're all being pretty hasty here - I think that's a fucking lovely setup. There are far more TGP-tastic pedalboards you could have picked to illustrate your point.

I'm more annoyed at the cables there from the back of the telly that aren't tidy.

why would you take the casters off?

Guy is kind of off though. Why would you have all those high end pedals and then buy that line 6 thing? At first I thought it was a tc electronics controller which would have made sense as it could have been for controlling the pedals. I have seen people who tour alot have a ton of pedals but keep them by the amp and use a controller for it all up front. But I don't think this is the case here.

Several DL4s in one box, plus some. I'd love one, and have been giving it some serious thought...

I guess I can see it, but most real pedal snobs can't stand line 6 stuff.

i love the white hiwatt, hate the commonburst LP, and hate the cable mess behind the tv.

The HCefxers are saping up the M13s and M9s; a lot of gigging musicians are using them too. Reckon HiWatt Man is getting a bad deal here...

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 5:43 pm

Umm... did you just suggest it was worth listening to HCFX Fads?

I avoid HC, but I admit to being surprised that they are into these things.
As far as the guy in the pic...If he is a gigging musician who plays in several bands or who is into alot of experimental sounds and music then he has a pretty killer setup. If this gear never leaves that room then it is a little wank.

It's all a little bit too clean, yes. Some battle scars are always nice.

But don't hate, at least he doesn't collect crockery.

i looked at the thread cobascis was talking about, the guy with all the gear seems to be a gigging/recording musician. it wasn't him that made the snidey comment.

picked up this in a small music shop, they just sell strings and a few bits and pieces. it was going cheap as it had no box or anything. Â£25 quid and it sounds really really good.

just need to get a new rubber ring for the baseplate, this one has perished a little.

Great deal on that little guy. I was looking at the Guyatone tuner, but the 'on' button put me off.

Post by **Doog** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 2:27 pm

I think the idea is that the Guyatone tuner is always on (or off), and the footswitch just mutes the signal. Doesn't sound too ridiculous, could be useful if you're midway through a song playing single note stuff; give the machinehead a quick tweak and you're back in tooooon without dropping out of the mix.

Nice Rob, I do like those Guyatone mini pedals. How does it compare to the Phase 90?

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 2:49 pm

thanks guys. it's great, doesn't go too over the top with the speed. does sound very leslie like. i like the depth control, as i can mix how much phase sound i want. so i can have subtle stuff and deeper stuff. i'd say it's kinda half way between a small stone and a phase 90, with a slight boost when engaged. works better after dirt, where as i found the phase 90 to be better before dirt.

You have to manually turn it on after you plug it in. BUt I think you are right after that.
