    found this on CL just now - http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/msg/1503905815.html I offered $175 and the guy said yes. Assuming the speakers are all good should i do this?

    need suggestions for a cheaper rack multi-efx unit

    I'm thinking about picking up a cheaper rack multi-efx unit just to tinker with in a possible W/D/W setup. I would like it to be able to do stereo and have access to at least Reverb, Delay, and Chorus. other effects including pitch shifting, flanger, etc. would be nice but if it's going to push...

    traded my mesa cab lastnight...

    to a guy i met up with through my local CL. I had my pick between his newer Vader 4x12 and a 2003 Marshall 1960ax with greenbacks for my mesa 2x12 plus some cash from me. I played both and they both sounded great but man, that Vader cab really did sound pretty damn good with my Powerball so i...

    just got a voodoo lab analog chorus pedal...

    and it's a big 'meh' :no: Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad pedal at all but i'm just not floored by it...at least immediately anyway. i used to have a Boss CE-5 and i didn't like that pedal very much so i figured this would be a lot better because like most voodoo lab products they just...

    need some pickup recommendations

    so over the weekend i installed a Seymour Duncan JB and Hot Rails into my Caparison Horus. Prior to the install it had an EMG 81 and SA combo. i actually dig EMGs because i tend to play heavier metal/death metal and some rock stuff. i've had a few days to play it through my Powerball and other...

    so my GCP/GCX rig is all setup but...

    what exactly will i need to be able to control my digitech whammy pedal? I'm assuming i'll need a midi cable to go from the Whammy into the GCX switcher, probably 2 ft. will suffice, and an expression pedal from the GCP pedal out to actually control it. i want to order all this stuff tonight...
