whats the use for all this stuff... kinda gay

not doing the pedal dance turning on/off effects pedals, worrying about batteries, large library of inspirational patches/tonal options, W/D/W or more complicated arrangements, backups of the originals just in case something out of the ordinary breaks down on the road, and some people are very specific with the sound they are looking for.

each to their own - but MIDI is so cool once you've used it :rock:

What's your point? That you don't need a guitar? That you're cooler than those with a different perspective, or that your pictures drawings are cooler than those who choose to paint in color, or rather different colors, and textures, or sculpt, ........ or is it that your creative vision is so freaking stunted that you can't see past your own ego and appreciate that there are others who do what they do without any regard for what you do?

That ridiculous notion, that it's gay because it doesn't conform to your ideal, as though yours is the only perspective worth having-- is Gay.

Gear are mere tools to get a job done. The main difference is that, you don't hear or see those of us who appreciate having options-- giving you any shit for your artistic or logistical preferences. Another difference (Speaking for myself), is that I can do what you suggest-- Guitar, Head, cab, and a cord-- I am just not limited to only that. :D
 
Why even bother Zach. Don't feed the troll!

I hear you. I was just putting some balanced perspective out there, for me and anyone else reading. (Including the idiot trolls)

Thanks :thumbsup:
 
You'll have to excuse the 14 year old. He slays, but tact is not his strong-suit.
 
Zachman, I laughed a little when I saw you posted the below pic of the Budda rig/rack. That's my buddy's rig - datriani
on HRI.

No, sorry... I haven't been there for quite a while. Maybe it'll come up w/ a Google search.

Is a CAE 3+ outdated? what about the fish? the 2150? I didn't think so.

guitar equipment pretty much peaked in 1990.
EXACTLY!!!! Just like a Plexi Marshall tone isn't outdated OR a Fender Clean tone. The thing that I find most appealing about modernizing one's approach, is that now you can "Automate your fx moves" now instead of having a zillion pedals on the floor, you can have the stuff set how you like it and call up your tones in a stored midi preset.

I don't know about you, but I have met people who's ONLY talent is dialing in the WORST possible tones in a serious piece of gear be it an amp or pedal or Rack mounted piece and then either they go on about how great it sounds when they have it sounding like rats sucked on the tone OR say how they don't see the big deal when subtle nuances don't exist in their approach AT ALL. Those are the people who make a pristine sounding Fender sound like crap. You can only teach technique, you can't teach SOUL or CREATIVITY.

It's the creativity arena where the rack stuff, Boutique stuff (pedals etc...) and the core amps meet to either express an idea effectively OR NOT.
 
Sorry, I know the thread is old, but I felt compelled to comment.

Tell Chris Poland that. One of the most incredible musicians out there, and he has a mega rack. He uses it all, gets great sounds, and is able to express what he wants with those tools. I don't think anyone would call his art "gay".
