[QUOTE=A_Perfect_Sonnet]Anyone in here who plays guitar want to recommend me a distortion pedal? I checked out a Zoom606 multi-effect that I liked, but if anyone has a better idea, tell me.[/QUOTE]
You're posting this in very much the wrong forum, but while it's here I'll point out an affinity for the Damage Control distortion pedals (Demonizer for rock/metal and Womanizer for blues/classic rock) if you can afford them.

DigiTech pedals = Gods

A_Perfect_Sonnet 12-24-2005 11:18 AM

Yeah, I've just decided to get a Line 6 Spider II 30, and save myself the trouble of finding an amp + pedal. I'll upgrade to a Spider 212 and get the footboard when I have the money, but you've gotta love those Celestions. Also Midnight, I figured I'd ask some people who knew what my writing was like that could offer me a pedal they think could fit my sound. Plus I like you guys better than the guitar forum people.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 12-24-2005 02:57 PM

Okay, check check it. My new guitar is an ESP LTD Viper-200FM. Hot stuff with the EMG-HZ pickups. Makes me go "mmmmmmm."

drumass04 12-24-2005 03:02 PM

sweeeeet!!!

I got given an Epiphone 400 Les Paul Custom SG by a load of mates earlier this year. T'is a beautiful guitar :D (Yes they gave it to me, they grouped together and bought me it. For ebing 'a great mate' apparently :S)

Merry Christmas (Happy Hannukah) S&Lers.

*is jealous as hell*

I'm still using an Epi SG Special... the action is horrific, and nothing short of defretting the thing and lowering the bridge to the point of removing it will sort it. I may get a new one... I've been looking at some of the mid-level Washburns recently. Any opinions?

A_Perfect_Sonnet 12-25-2005 07:28 PM

What type of tone do you want, and what's your price range?

Nightvision 12-25-2005 08:21 PM

Umm, about £250ish (that about $375-$400US?) and I want a half decent preferably chunky tone, as I tend to play in dropped C# tuning a fair bit. A D-tuner would be handy as well, but isn't essential.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 12-25-2005 08:44 PM

I got the Viper for $500US (that included tax and case). Lower end ESP LTD's don't have EMG's in them, but if you would be willing to pay a little bit more (like I had to do), check out the 200 series of the EC and Viper, or even the Hybrid (it's a telecaster style guitar with Seymor-Duncans). These guitars don't dissappoint.

Try out an Ibanez 2005 DT200, AXS32, IC200, or maybe even a Mexican made Fender Tele (I would've gotten one over the Viper, but I'm saving for a US made one).

Good luck with the guitar hunt Jason.

Nightvision 12-25-2005 08:51 PM

Hmm - I'll have a look at the Tele, certainly... I'm in love with Telecasters, and would love an excuse to get one.

Hey everybody. Merry christmas! Miss you all. :thumb:

metaliq 12-25-2005 10:28 PM

Oh man.

I feel sick.

I need water... and no more chocolate.

I lost 5 pounds in the last month and a half by eating 6 trays of chocolate covered cherries, so I figured I could make a days diet on chocolate.

I think it was the crunchiness... the rice or whatever... yeah.

So hey. I got my dad an NES and blaster master.

Best. Gift. Ever.

A Couple years ago Kramer made a bunch of good heavy-sounding models in that price range that had Floyd Roses with EVH D-tunas on them, but I'm afraid most have been discontinued. Glad I got mine while they still made it!

No I haven't, but please elaborate. I like Stephen Fry and I like poetry, so tell me more.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 12-30-2005 11:33 PM

TojesDolan 12-31-2005 08:16 AM

I always thought of you more like a punk/emo/hardcore kind of guy. :-/



Glad you're not.

MidnightHysteria 12-31-2005 11:46 AM

oh no I'm more into prog-rock, and blues, and jazz, and metal, and funk, and assorted combinations of the above.

ITRIEDVOODOOONCE 12-31-2005 12:04 PM

What are peoples plans for new years?

TojesDolan 12-31-2005 12:04 PM

With that in mind I'll critique and textually abuse your work with more pleasure than ever. :D:D

Nightvision 12-31-2005 12:48 PM

My plan for new year:

Go home.
Get my butt kicked on Shogun: Total War
Watch Match Of The Day
Go to bed.
