I suppose some people really love lugging around a 540 lb flea market monstrosity. We all have to accept new current technology but still have to embrace some of the older tech. I'm running JBLs in both my Dumble and Fender amps. My philosophy is that the speakers should be as clean as possible and add as little distortion as possible. The tone should be set by the time it hits the speaker cones. All Celestions, even the GB25s, add a sort of muddy tone to what they produce, kinda like cats in quicksand. (However, that can be compensated for by a few hundred more pounds of rack gear.)

LOL! You're a joke. Go buy a Cornford. It will smoke any Dumble ever built. Dumbles are over-priced, sorry excuses for boutique amps that only get one decent sound. You crack me up coming on here trying to impress people with an amp you don't even own throwing out your infinite wisdom and running away like a little girl every time you post something or get challenged. Step up and lets see what you have. LOL @ JBL's....the worst speakers ever made for guitar. Must be great every time you plug in..."ah, the sound of @ss...it just makes me feel so much higher and mightier than everyone else....I think I'll go and celebrate by picking on someone at the Sonar forum."
 

"ah, the sound of @ss...

Now now Danny... perhaps he just wants a sound to match his sparkling personality. ;-)

One pedal that I REALLY like is the BOSS Blues Driver. On it's own it doesn't really add much but with the right amp it draws out the natural gain of the amp. I'd love to get another one. The BOSS EQ pedal is super handy too for sound shaping and lead boost. The Metal Zone is my go to for screeching thrash tones. I find the mid range EQ makes it far more usable than a lot of distortion pedals I've tried.

I keep it simple though for the most part. If I had Danny's stack I'd probably only use 5% of it's capabilities.

A good basic set up that will cover most guitarists needs live would be:

BOSS Overdrive 

BOSS Blues Driver

BOSS EQ

BOSS TU-2 (tuner)

BOSS MT-2 (Metal Zone... Keeley mod if you can afford it)

BOSS Stereo Chorus

BOSS Phaser

Jim Dunlop Crybaby and/or Volume pedal

Digitech Whammy Pedal (this can be used as a Harmonizer and is more flexible than the BOSS Harmonizer)

MXR Gain Pedal (One switch and one knob. The knob is big and covered in rubber so you can adjust it with the side of your foot)

As you can tell I REALLY like Boss pedals. Obviously these are my personal tastes so no jumping down ole Beepster's throat mmmkay, fellers? ;-)

You're a fan of Boss pedals - I can tell

Hi Danny.

Have you had the misfortune of running into Pistol Pete before?

He's one whose disappearance last summer was met with a collective sigh of relief - check out some of his "reviews" on the Songs forum.

Actually, don't bother - you've got a fair idea of how he operates from this thread. The Block Member list beckons.

Now now Danny... perhaps he just wants a sound to match his sparkling personality. ;-)

I was actually being kind Beeps. My original post was "I'm sure each time you play, from out of your nasty sounding JBL's and your Radio Shack amp...comes a gourmette d!ck sandwich with extra veins. Gourmette, boutique...what's the difference, the sound of @ss is the sound of @ss" But, I didn't say it. :-Þ I thunk it though!
 
Screw him and his personality...there's a dude that should have been banned on his very first post to this forum. If I had the time, I'd follow him around like white on rice bashing his brains in until one of us got banned. If the people that run this place would rather a sarcastic, one lining "know-nothing-at-all" like him to remain here bashing on someone with every post he makes while never adding anything good to a discussion, I'll happily stay away from here and do them a favor.

it's a bit heavy at 540lbs,

That may be the understatement of the year..we own a 16hh horse that weighs less than that!

Gaddmned forum software.

I give up. Imagine a duck riding a goose "LIKE A BOSS!"

Hi Danny.

Hey Jonesey, yeah I've seen him before. This is the first time he's copped a tude with me though. Though I've never been able to have a legit conversation with the dude, I've tried to keep myself together while he's totally bashed other peoples brains in. But guess what....no one should have to read his crap and you know me, I won't take it. Ignore doesn't work when you can still see the name floating around or people quote the guy. If he upsets a few people and they don't take his crap, the mods will get him eventually. If not, we lose a few more good people.
 
If the mods did their job a bit better (you know they have to know this guy is a problem with every post he makes) that other conversation they were having in the Coffee House wouldn't have been discussed. Removing problems before the problems get a rise out of others is something the mods don't seem to do around here. They know who the problem people are...they choose to ignore them until they upset the entire community or someone flips their lid. We've lost more people on this forum due to the lack of moderation than people that have jumped ship because Sonar is no longer their weapon of choice.
