Since there’s not enough $#!tposting going on, here’s a new time waster for all who are pretending to work:
Have a friend who is a quality guitar player, but not the best at interfacing with technology.
He currently has a very complex, 3-channel amp, complete with three separate volume controls (one for each channel). It has an fx loop you have to turn on every time you power on the amp - and it won’t work if the pedal in the loop isn’t also turned on. To make it more exciting, you can only switch channels with a footpedal that may or may not work depending on the current humidity, air pressure and color of @FuzzyAce’s boxers on that given day.
For someone who isn’t “attention to detail” oriented or tech savvy, you can imagine all this is a recipe for frustration.
I recently suggested he find a far less complicated amp. But need some recs to give him. He only uses clean and overdriven tones. So, he could likely run a preamp pedal into a clean channel on the right amp and simply turn the pedal on/off to get where he wants to go.
Instead he said it takes 10-15 mins to get up and running… maybe.
Ok, $#!tpost those suggestions:
