Just picked up this Mini3 Vox Guitar practice Amp and I'm really digging it. It packs quite a punch for it being a mini. I can hold up with my bassist and drummer pretty well with this. It's not gonna be something I can play at shows but it's great for practicing and writing.




The guitar effects are so great (the Compression and Flanger are my favorites) The preamps offer a lot of diversity in sound. I've had it for a little over a week yet I'm still finding new combinations of sounds.

Also I was pleasantly surprised with how good a mic sounds plugged into this. I can send Delay and Reverb to the mic too so it adds even more depth to the possible sounds. Definitely been having a lot of cool jams with this.

I used to have one of those. Was a Vox VT30. All the distortion sounded horrid and was trash, but the effects and clean sound through single coils was amazing, very voxy.

As long as you know the amps limits it works great.

Yessir, it takes a little tweaking to get the sound you want but I'm learning the ins and out of it; it really sounds amazing with my acoustic electric.

I don't mess with distortions much unless I'm just goofing around. I do like the UK and AC distortion amps though. They don't have that fuzz and muddy sound; you can actually get a good funky/surfer sound out of them.

I've mainly been sticking with Reverbs, Delays and some Compression. The Chorus on this thing has some serious bite too.

Oh and another cool thing is it has an Aux Input on it. So what I've been doing is recording a rhythm section and then have it play back through the amp and solo over it.

I've got a black Les Paul body Ibanez guitar I've been playing for a few years, which is my main instrument. As a full time student, I don't have an income, and therefor don't have money to save for what I've got my eye on. I'm looking at getting a $1,000 - $3,000 semi hollow body guitar that I can play before I buy ASAP. Preferably with an earth tone finish.

My current guitar isn't too special, but it certainly does its job. Double humbucker pickups, a single gothic inlay at the twelfth fret, and a symmetrical orientation for the tuning keys.

My amp is my pride among my gear. It's just... Amazing. I have a Fender Super 60 (created by Paul Rivera). It's a 60 watt tube amp with red knobs--which I hear is significant to some people. It's a heavy beast of an amplifier, but the sound I get out of it is amazing. With knobs for presence, treble, bass, mid, and reverb, I have a wide range of control as to that sound, and of course it's got two channels, one with a gain knob.

I record with a field recorder I'd have to look at to detail.

I'm saving up to be able to have something like this made for me by the end of next year:



What can I say, single pickup guitars give me boners. The simpler the better. P90s are the SHlT- clean or dirty they always sound good. And I always like the symmetrical style gibbys/epiphones hollowbodies the most. It's gonna have a Jazzmaster-style tremolo instead of the one in the pic but the software didn't have it in their database apparently, the bastards.

Until then I'm stuck with a Strat that I can't seem to get rid of, a Telecaster that I love dearly, and a vintage Fender Musicmaster bass Amp with a 15" speaker that blasts punk ass bitches in the face with a morbidly obese low end.

Everyday. To be any good at all on this instrument, you must play it everyday. It's a woman so you have cannot neglect it no matter how good your reason for doing so or she gets angry that you didn't put her first. When you have a good rapport going, she'll reveal to you one of her many secrets everyday--a new one everyday. But when you lay her aside for a day or two to get other things done, she's mad and petulant and it will be a while before she gives up another secret. Typical female "You have to feel bad for awhile as punishment" thing.

My other woman is a human and she plays cello (and piano) and agrees because she's always viewed her cello as female--a temperamental female. "I know what that's like," she said, "which is why I'm more understanding" with me choking back my guffaws--which she noticed, of course, and promptly put me in the doghouse.

I only have a dozen. My uke was just over on the other side. Couldn't have squeezed in my drums or my synths.

Thats very cool, I could only dream of finding a female mate who also enjoyed playing music with me.

Here is my pride and joy. I have posted it before but I dont even care because I love it that much. After owning a ton of different fenders I never really got exactly what I wanted until this guitar. It is a mahogany strat body with 2 low wound cream p90s set up with 250k pots and a 3 way telecaster switch. (Knobs are master volume and tone) All the wiring is top notch, has a vintage style bridge, switchcraft jack, bone nut, vintage style tuners that kick arse and the fattest maple neck ever. Other than the body pretty much everything has been swapped out to make my dream guitar (on a budget). Even the strap locks are Dunlops with the most comfortable leather strap which makes playing for long periods a blast.




The pedals are my 2 favorites always with me. A NYC reissue of the Big Muff Pie and a Barber Direct Drive. Some guy on craigslist gave me it free in an amp trade. It is a 130 dollar drive pedal that sounds like an orgasm amplified into your brainmeat. I highly suggest if you ever have the chance to try one...do it.
