Re: Digitech Trio (60 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've found that it can be easy to make mistakes with it and for that reason I wont use it live unless I pre record the tracks .However it is a great practice tool and I use it daily. I think the effects are a bit basic and I also prefer to use it through a second amp or through the auxiliary channel of my line 6 spider 4

Topic: Cheap NGD (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Just by chance today I came across a Squier Strat in a junkshop with a sign on it saying needs attention and a price tag of £5 .Quicker than a speeding bullet I was in there asking what's wrong with it . The vendor said its missing some electrics ,to which he showed me the back of the guitar ,the plate covering the whammy bar springs was missing exposing the insides. Ok I said handed him five pounds and left before he changed his mind .Got home re stung it plugged in sounds great , sure theres a few dings and knocks but five pounds for a guitar that was £160 new got to be a bargain .

Topic: X factor dreary songs (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)

Re: Plexi Drum Shields (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Maybe its to keep the acoustic sound of the drums bleeding into the audio mics ,so only the miced sound of the drums comes through the PA and monitors alowing the band to play at lower stage volumes while the drummer still knocks 7 bells out of his kit.
