Calling @ped...

Heinous. Although, to be fair to Mr Ellefson, these were already a thing before his webcam antics.

I think the main failing with this, and most Ashdown pedals, was the horrendous demos on Youtube. The Stuart Zender demo was really something! I've played quite a few Ashdown pedals and rarely have they sounded as uninspiring as the official demo videos.

What gear are you using at the moment?

If the band's sound drops out during guitar solos, the first thing you need to do is look at your tone/EQ and note choices. You shouldn't need to use a specific effect to do that job and become a crutch. The bass and drums should be the main body of the sound, with the guitar seasoning on top That's a slightly flippant way of putting it but you get the gist. I don't think a bass player should need an extra sonic kick during guitar solos, it should already be there. Don't think I'm being down on pedals, I'm really not - I have far too many and never play without some degree of distortion, but that's because I like that sound.

I know envy's a terrible thing, but what I wouldn't give to even play just one of those Alembics... he must have a very good job 😄
