I tried the MXR first. To me, it didn't have a 'natural' sound to it - kind of squishy and fizzy. More of an effect than an enhancement. And I suppose it depends on how you want to use it - if you want it as an 'effect', nothing sounds like a Dynacomp. The older ones seem to be better. The Tone Press, on the other hand, is very transparent. If you like the sound you're getting and just want to improve on that, it's perfect. I haven't tried the Diamond or the Guyatone - or a bunch of the others for that matter - because I quit looking when the Barber showed up. It sounds like me, just longer and smoother.

Easily the biggest 'surprise' pedal on my board. You don't know it's there until it's not. If you're not a pedal guy, it is absolutely perfect. Brooks' Guyatone description fits the Barber to a T.

You wouldn't have them after you drove it. Ouch! Stay off the brakes.

they called me 4 years ago for an Elvis show, I suppose I impressed em and kinda became the "pop" guy over the course of time, 2 years ago we got a new artistic director ( head guy ) and I was already the " pop" guy and he likes pop LOL. I'm so happy to have this gig. I find it much more rewarding than cover gigs and about dead even w/ the best of the showcase original gigs. Everything is pro from in ear monitors w/ your own mix to the pay scale to the people involved. The ABBA singers sightread 3 part harmony from the Mama Mia score and sounded like the movie first try. I played w/ 2 guys who were/are involved w/ the Trans Siberian Orch. The sax player was in Glenn Miller Orch, it goes on and on like that. The music is really hard compared to most stuff, check out the insane 5/8 " Sunset Bvld" by Weber, sounds so smooth and its relentless 5. I'll bet I've played 32 bars total in E A or D, flat keys rule the theater world LOL. It's improved my reading and my acoustic playing tremendously. I'm not sure if I could do years of the same show like some of those broadway cats do, cause I love the variety. I am looking into sub situations for some big city shows, I guess I'm into it LOL Congrats, Bill! Takes a lot of work to play at that level. Good on ya!

Jeebus! Your son has to be incredibly talented. Congrats to both of you!

That's awesome!! I just got goosebumps. This place RULES.

I think it's real progress to go from not building guitars people wanted to building guitars people can't have.

Either would be great! ......although I'm not sure how to pull audio off a DVD........ Thanks!!

Does anyone have a copy of 'Blues Theme' by Davie Allen and the Arrows (1967?) that they could sell/send me? It's a bit obscure, and apparently was used in several biker movies of the period. An MP3 would be great! Thanks

I have never left one behind, but it's gotta suck pretty hard. Nice looking guit.

I was good with amps 'til I came here. Then I tried everything. Know what? I'm gigging the '64 Vibrolux I bought when I was 12. Don't git no better 'n that.

I say leave it. As soon as you mess with it, you'll wish you hadn't. I almost put a middle pickup in my '81. I'm so glad that urge went away.

So - you went on purpose?

I love you, man.

Wow. Just...Wow!!

Couldn't spell 'hammer'. Actually, this was the first board I ever joined - waaaaaaay back when - and it was the only thing I could come up with at the time. Now, I'm 'hamerhead' on ebay, the Taylor forum, some Mustang forums, etc..... I'd probably have put a little more thought into it if I knew it was going to be with me for so long.

$59 according to his website.

Anybody here tried one? I think I'm going to have it done, but would like to hear some opinions first. Any downside?

Turn in your man card. Immediately.

And some of you thought Mirages were ugly BEFORE!!

You guys are definitely brothers. That sounds like my house growing up! Have a fun one, you two.

I thought tumbling boomers were never evereverevereverevereverever going to happen again. That is too f***ing cool. I can't wait to see it.

The REAL question is : Will Ed use a pedal to get his sound? (ducks)

Yoko's true soulmate.

Congrats!! And Good Luck on your next venture.
