Interesting Turn of Tone Events at the ‘ol GC

[skoora]

Went in to do the usual hang, see if anything from NAMM was in already and decided to mess around on some of the pedal displays they have. By pure happenstance just came across a glorious, goddamn rock sound with a Keeley compressor going into the warm audio, klon clone, into their crappy Gamma 50 W solid-state amp. Of course it got my cogs spinning, but then I realized, it’s this particular combination. I’ll never gonna want one of these amps and probably never play with this sterile of a clean sound at home, so these pedals wouldn’t do this with what I have, but it was probably one of the best tones I’ve gotten in recent time, in a store.

Shout out to The Friedman BEOD. I had never tried one before and into the solid-state amp, set real clean, was a really good sounding pedal. Very versatile with the tight control.

My GC won't let me put the volume on anything past 1.
It's fun to mess with them though and suggest stupid things to see if they agree/disagree to gauge their knowledge/care about customer satisfaction.

Awesome. Also the BEOD is a legit pedal, I did a gig once with it into a Bassman and it sounded great.

I've jammed with a few people that had a good pedal setup going into whatever amp & it soudned killer. Definitely not to be discounted.

Last weekend I took my IIC+ Coliseum to GC and cranked it up till the cab started complaining.

I think I was the first person in an hour who bent up a note in tune, so they let it slide for a little while.
Actually didn’t have it too loud though.
The worst part is it took me a whole 5 minutes to figure out how to bypass a Tonex and a DL4 MKII that were in the chain, to only find out I had guessed right the first time on how to do it, but there was a Keeley delay that was still on and I didn’t see it’s LED…”where the fuck is that delay coming from?”

I never interact with their sales people if I can help it…

You're supposed to wait until they walk away then dime it.

I've never been to a GC or Sam Ash where anyone working there gave a shit about anyone other than their own band.

Well, I try to explain to them that I'm deaf, but they don't understand sign language

I need to try a BE-OD. I know for a while Tosin Abasi was running one into a clean Morgan amp for his high gain tones. Not sure what his current setup is though.
