This piece of crap:

It was like a noise generator. Used it ones and then threw  it into a corner somewhere.

did it suck? or did you just get bored with it fast.

It sucked TIME

Between the noise you could hear an instrument, vaguely.

Now it's part of my air-guitar equipment, playing Hendriks. 8-)

Or were you referring to Nellie's boots?

It's a monophonic "guitar synthesizer" that converts the sound directly from the guitar pickups (like a kind of octaver). I would sing into it, it would work fine...
It's all designed to turn my LesPaul into a cheesy Casio :lol:
(To be honest, with loads of chorus and delay, it may sound cool)

I had one of these


(//http://www.artproaudio.com/images/products/tubemp_studiov3.png)


It was actually kind of bitter sweet. It sounded pretty good but the compressor
sucks bad big time. It's attack was soooo freaking slooooowww.  The different
settings had some interesting tonal options. Unfortunately the circuit board
was mounted too low and the audio/power jacks had a bad connection.
I had all kinds of ground problems.

I ditched it at a local guitar center in trade for a Behringer BCF2000 midi controller
which btw, produces the worst RF interference of any electronic device known to man.

PS  note that my avatar coincidentally and properly displays my feelings for
the said device.

Not anymore, I've flogged virtually everything in the last 10 days, the studio looks soooo much better. Like it did in the early days in fact. It was getting a bit like a bloody synth laboratory.  :shock:

Sounds good to me! But then, I really like synths and I really like laboratories...  8-)

Have you ever worked in a laboratory?  I do every day and find it boring.
I think I'm going to cut my tail off.

Nope, never worked in one (non-educational, anyways), but I find mice and laboratories go together quite well...

I wasn't familiar with Ian Hislop, but a quick Google Images search made me spew apple juice all out over my screen. Still laughing right now.

I'm sure glad I don't have a Macbook Pro and some wine.

...too soon?

Thanks Jem, you've now ruined both Pinky And The Brain and Ian Hislop for me!  :lol:

Well, now I won't be able to watch Have I Got News For You without thinking he's trying to take over the world.

Hang on... Is that an improvement?

True, but it is generally accepted that Ian Hislop is in fact Penfold (//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penfold_(character)#Heroes).
I suspect The Brain is a cousin.

Actually... Mouse? Your first name isn't "Danger" is it?

Life's too short for that- go forth and be fearless.

After all, you're unlikely to screw up any worse than I have lately......
