Very nice set of guitars right there! I'm jealous of that Gibson SG... And also the finish on the Tele!

YES! Though I don't know if I'd ever recover financially😂. I did play a Gretsch hollow body that sounded really great too. I forget which model it was... But a Gibson ES hollow body though...

Ya I think this is going to be a recurring issue... If I get one Gibson, I'll need to get at least another so it has a friend like my other guitar pairs 🙃

Ya I was pleasantly surprised with the punch I was able to get out of it on its own. I’m stoked to see what I can do with it!

Thanks! I went with the shimmer reverb option this time around. I was stoked it came out alright through the amp!

Thanks! Mellow acoustic stuff is some of my favorite music to play!

Thanks! With the 1 min limit, I can usually only fit small sections from my songs. This is half a verse and transition to half a chorus. And the plan for recording is at least guitar, bass & keys on most things! This one technically has a lyric but I've been putting off practicing vocals lol

The keyboard is a Casio CDP-130 and I like it a lot! It suits my needs and I haven't had any trouble recording stuff with it. It's nothing too fancy but I think it sounds great!

This track is great! I dig the feel and cohesiveness of this album. Plato, 303 to Mars & Flow are also some of my favs on there!

Ya fingerstyle is how I play like 90% of the time and I def agree! In this snippet I was using a pretty hefty 2mm pick cause I really wanted to hit those harmonics hard. I've also found picks help on double strings with bringing out the brighter sounds

Fair point! I've actually had the chance to demo the Timeline and I remember it sounding amazing. At the time I came home with an MXR analog delay which was a bit cheaper. Though the Timeline is def still on my list of future wants!

Thanks! And ya it's def an amazing standalone pedal! I haven't tried looping in anything else yet because I'm still exploring what all it can do on its own. Also very nice going after acoustics with it! Getting something together with mine is something I want to do asap

Thanks! I just watched a demo of the Eventide Space. The shimmer and spring on that pedal sound so good! Now I want one... But I know I shouldn't after only just getting the Strymon 😅

Thanks! And yep, the plan is to keep posting new stuff here!

I shouldn’t want one with all the other random musical stuff I have but I do… I do want one 😂

Oh nice! That might be a good option, especially for Strymon's. I did have my eye on the Deco... And I just checked out the Zelzah and it also sounds great! Well, that's another pedal added to the list to try out when I get the chance lol

You got this! I’m so bad at piano I couldn’t play until I got that tired if I tried 😂

Just watched a demo of the G3S and it def seems to have all the features anyone would ever need out of a switching system! I may have to start saving for one as I accumulate enough pedals to fill out the io. The G2 seems neat to and a bit cheaper, though parallel effects loops would be nice

I just finished my first prac session with it and it sounds as good as I'd hoped! I do want a switcher setup eventually so I can go after the optimal tones as I play. Controlling a pedal from an external MIDI controller is a bit new to me but I def want to figure it out!

post
Thanks! I'm super stoked with all the new options it gives me to go after specific sounds. If my fingers didn't just give out I'd still be playin!

It's so good! I just finished playing around with it for a couple hours. It's super versatile and there are so many options to generate cool sounds!

Those are some great shots! It's tough to find a better view than a sunrise/sunset at the beach.

Wait what??? I need one now! Where did you even find that?

You should! I think it’s pretty cool. I’ve been wanting to find more music themed sets. The only other music related set I have is The Beatles Yellow Submarine one

Yep! I def feel that statement lol. Another classic is a string snapping while tuning up and causing a mini heart attack
