songofthewind Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Yep, that Ibanez is FUBAR. Send it to me and I will dispose of it for you. No, don’t thank me. 2 Quote

Even the left hands looks odd... great technique.... I wish they would use models that can actually hold an instrument. Expand Have you seen how Zach Rizer plays? His fingers form a similar shape.

KevB Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I was waiting for the interviewer to say to the Geddy pedal bloke 'But Ged's tone has been a bit sheeite for years and now you build a pedal to reproduce it?' Quote
Sibob Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 The shortscale Gibson Jr looks fun, £1k though, and no TV Yellow. Si 1 Quote
la bam Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 the ELF would be interesting. I have an elf and to be honest, i think its fantastic. Great tone, eq and power. BUT thats using it with a 2x12 or 6x10. Im not sure at all youll get good volume with it out of a 1x8 or 1x10. Quote

Loads of cool stuff already announced, starting with this: https://www.moogmusic.com/news/sirin-analog-messenger-joy Expand The pricing of these (currently pre-order in the UK) is erratic, looks like stores are trying to cash in on the limited aspect. £477 at Rubadub.co.uk and Gear4Music £619 at PMT and GtrGtr £709(!!!!) at Richtone. Has somewhat quelled my desire to get one. And by somewhat I mean totally. Edited February 1, 2019 by Ruiner Quote

ped Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Bit weird how they think anyone would need an Elf combo, it’s not like the amp doesn’t fit in your pocket anyway - a combo just makes it less portable surely?! 1 Quote
la bam Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I think the head detaches if needed? I'm sure when the 2x8s and 1x10 were first announced at the shows they had that option. Quote

Expand Yeah the original 2x8 and 1x10 have a little cradle for the head - the combo appears to be basically the same but the head is attached (don't think it's removable - if it is, then they've basically released a 1x8?)

Expand Yep, but some of us would just like a single unit to sit at a practice space somewhere, be super easy to lend out, etc. Personally, I'd rather have the head section live in a cab rather than a fabric bag of some sort. But for me that only applies to practice gear, which is what the Elf would potentially be for me, especially if only coupled with a single 8 or 10. Quote
