Yeah that was set to full stun and played like a boogie too.

you would think guys like akira and gilbert would get on these forums to find out what real tone is and to learn how crappy their gear is. I think they could also learn something from us about playing with "feel." i'll cut rhoads some slack because he can't be present, but man, his tone sssssucked.

I think Paul's tone on the new Mr Big is pretty good.

There was a thread on TGP where all the Dumble idiots were trashing Eric Johnson's tone when Eric did a version of Politician. Fucking idiots, like Eric Johnson needs the opinions of those Robben Ford nutswingers.

Forums would be a step down for them, an abyss of rampant consumerism/conspicuous consumption where playing doesn't matter but hey check out my tone dudes. :lol: :LOL:
 
Akira's tone was as clear as crystal!
Mental note: paying mortgage & working on Guitar chops is more important than boutique gear
 
I'd say he's probably more concerned with his craft than with his tone.

NO! You guys are missing the point. Did you hear what greazygeo said? When he saw Akira he was using a DSL and a Boss GT8. Nuno uses a Boss GT8 too. This shows these guys are ignorant and maybe even more disturbing than that, they are LAZY. Any of us can walk into a shop (a few years ago) and pick up a Boss GT8. Can you imagine they are using a last generation Boss product? That's gross! You can't experience good tone unless the pedal you use is back ordered for months and the maker is half crazy from inhaling solder fumes and burnt cat hair when Fluffy gets too close to the iron while working on Tonesnob327's $400 Tube Screamer clone.

I think it also shows a severe disdain for the ears of their fans. If I go see Loudness and Akira, I damn well expect him to use an amp that:
1.) I can't afford.
2.) I can't pronounce the name of.
3.) I have never heard of. Even better if the internet rumor is that the maker is full on loco and you have to go through hell AND high water to get one of the amps. Even better if you get on the list and call to check on it, and you go to the end of the list as a penalty.

I think most of you guys are letting Akira off the hook too easily. We deserve better don't we? :gethim:

Going by Akira's thoughts your photo op for your cd would have been way less work, throw your GT-8 on the floor and snap the shot.

LOVE the JVM!!!!

3 years mine has been going strong :thumbsup:

Bah! Yours is in a head box made out of endangered hardwoods which the harvesting of probably involved displacing a small indigenous tribe. You are golden. THAT'S what I'm talking about. He didn't even take the trouble to make our listening and concert going experience better by putting it in a better headbox. I'm telling you, he hates us and is punishing us in every way. He must be a tortured soul and part of me just yearns to save him, like a lost puppy. If we could just bring him to Rig Talk or better yet TGP we can turn that kid around. Show him the way.
