[goodhonk]

1. well, do you. what is it?
2. why?

[goodhonk]

1. yes - ibanez ad202
2. cuz i like it
3. n/a
4. stranger than paradise

 

[Ivo]

1. Alesis Quadraverb
2. Nothing sounds like it.
3. Trying out an Alesis Wedge as a floor alternative. Good, but not quite the same.
4. Mad Max: FR

 

[tremolo3]

1. yes, lexicon vortex (only at home though)
2. its "morphing" capabilities
3. NO
4. Mad Max: Fury Road

 

[TimeSnow]

1. No
2. More trouble than it's worth to me
3. Last rack kit was replaced by nothing for ages - then after about two years I bought a T2 reverb pedal.
4. I enjoyed Jurrasic World, but didn't love it. Same goes for Spy. Ehh. Not sure I've loved anything this year.

 

[PatrickE_FenderADV]

1. Nope
2. no real need to be honest.
3. my pedalboard. Simpler is easier.
4. Jurassic World

EDIT... I once used a rackmount Chandler Tube Driver. It was a really nice preamp/OD.

1.Yes
2. Because nothing sounds as good as an Eventide H3000
3.
4. Jurassic World, saw it at the movies yesterday!

 

[AnalogKid85]

1. Lexicon PCM80 + Pitch Algorithm expansion card
2. the amazing modulated Concert Hall reverb; the post-processing you can do on the verbs (stereo chorus, etc.); the diffused multitap delays (2 x 3-tap); the sweep filter echoes (2 x 3-tap again); the Quad pitch shifters that can "store" up to 8 chords (or alternatively, have four 8-note arpeggios going at once) and recall them at will, in different ways; the auto-swell and dynamic patching features; the 4- and 6-voice chorus with "randomization" that's hard to do with anything else; the Circular and multitap delays; the flangers (some of the best I've ever heard in the digital realm) ....I could go on and on (I'd be happy to expand on it if you have a question about something)
3. nope, and nothing probably ever will, unless it's another Lexicon reverb that builds on what's already there (like the PCM90/91, Lexicon 300, etc.)--I'll certainly add other reverbs as I go, cause I like different flavors (Eventide, Strymon, etc.), but I'm "sold out" for Lexicon PCM verb now
4. Jurassic World

 

[CaseyI]

NO. I DO NOT.

 

[goodhonk]

NO. I DO NOT.

did not follow instructions. F-

 

[GasMask]

1) Yeah! Bogner Fish, TriAxis, Eventide Eclipse, Intellifex, Mesa 50/50 power amp
2) Dig the tones, like running in stereo. Makes for super fast set-up & tear-down. Midi programmability is fantastic when playing out.
3) Simpler pedal effects get used more in the studio. Faster to dial in.
4) That porno flick with your mom in it.

 

[goodhonk]

how dare you

 

[Serious Poo]

Yes. Marshall JMP1, Mesa Triaxis, Engl e530, G-Force, Fulltone TERC, a couple of fuzz pedals, GCX Switcher, 2:90 Power amp.

I like the immense variety of high-quality stereo sounds.

It changes all the time. The Engl is my newest addition.

Casablanca.

 

[Catch]

1. AxeFX II, Mesa Studio Pre, Mesa Simul 395 Power Amp, Quadraverb (in mothballs).
2. Because I love options, don't just think of myself as just a Vox or Fender guy...
3. I use my Carr Viceroy too for a more direct feel but I'm always changing...I use my pedals, mainly Strymons and Skreddys no matter what set up I'm playing. Nothing has "replaced" my rack gear. Think I need to add a Fryette Power Station though...
4. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

 

[MmcGrouty]

1. Yes, peavey 30 band eq and tc m-one xl
2. I use them at home only, when playing my amps into a load box-line out-cab impulses.
3. No
4. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

 

[SirGilmour]

NO. I DO NOT.

 

[James]

1. Peavey Valverb, Chandler Stereo Digital Reverb, Chandler SDE-2 Stereo Digital Echo (used separately in one-space rack cases)
2. Because they each have a very unique sound. The Chandler SDE-2 is an amazing echo. The Valverb is really sweet, too.
3. No other units have replaced these, for me. The only other spring reverb I like better than the Valverb is the Tube Works Stereo Spring Reverb.
4. The Shawshank Redemption

 

[JDouglee]

1. CAA/CAE 3+ and 3+SE tube preamps.
2. They still sound cool.
3. You can use pedals with them, or heads as power amps. No rules. They're light too.
4. The To Do List.

 

[aquietcabin78]

1) Lexicon Vortex & Jamman.
2) The Vortex is a beast and the Jamman was cheap.
3) N/A
4) Inside Out.
