Re: What Makes Up Your Current Gig Rig?

I don't gig anymore but when I did, depending on the venue size I used either a Messa Boogie lonestar 2x12 or a Messa Boogie Studio 22. I changed out the pedals on my pedalboard so often I can't really say what was on it other than I always had the MXR 10 band EQ on it. Again depending on the venue ...

Re: Recommend me a tuner pedal

I don't use a pedal tuner any more when I did I used a Boss TU-3. I now use a Peterson StroboClip it's a very accurate headstock clip on style and if you are not dead set on a pedal style this is a good alternative.

Looks like a gorgeous place to spend a few days. That river picture could have been taken here in the Western NC mountains before I got stuck in this wheelchair I was an avid outdoorsman and trout fishing these mountain streams was one of my favorite pass times.

Re: I FOUND YOUR LUGGAGE

I've found some great deals on various things over the years @thrift shops and even Goodwill. I collect traditional knives the kind your grandfather carried. This was at a pawn shop but I bought a $150 knife for $20 I enjoy thrift shops, yard sales and such. Very cool score @toomanycats.

Re: OG 2500 DC on Reverb ( BubbaZ? )

When I had been a member of the old site for a short time I bought my PS900 from Bubba Zanetti on the exchange for $160 the only thing wrong was the nut needed replaced.

Re: How do you do it? (Clean/dirt)

Like every person is different so is every guitar and amp so every situation would have to be approached differently. I guess In general I would probably quickly set the clean tone to something usable then bring the gain up to a usable crunch. After that IMO it would be up to right hand technique or...
