Ok the RP 255 was sent back for refund, gotta love eBay’s policy. No complaints there.

So,, I went for more bang for the buck. I scored this http://digitech.com/en-US/products/rp500  for 120 plus shipping. so for 152 or so,, its gonna kick some butt!  Still in original packing! I really hope I’m getting a good one.  Ill have a learning curve but at least I know the software.   big_smile

I’m hoping it’s like being 9 and getting all the 6 million dollar man toys for Christmas that year!! LOLOL  So stand by. LOLOL

With a Breedlove, a Martin, and a Guild, my guitars aren't what you're finding.  I do my homework first.  She's been supportive of my guitar habit.  That said, I have to fit them all in my office, and with the three aforementioned guitars plus a fiddle, an autoharp, three amps, a PA, an electric Ibanez, and two electric basses, I've about reached my limit.  There's space for one more guitar on the stand and I'm thinking a Taylor nylon string AE with a cutaway.  Or possibly a The Loar archtop acoustic.  It's hard to say.  I better buy a quad rack instead of a triple and then I can get both. 

Hmmm.  What was the topic again?

Wall  hangers.  start filling the walls.

I have just experienced the E-BAY LET DOWN.  unit got here yesterday, and I felt like a kid at Christmas.   only to find out the damn thing only half works.  the expression pedal is dead.  No WAH, no Volume, No effects triggering.

I am getting a full refund, but still sad   Now Im on the hunt again.

if you dont have one, get a external drive. 2 terabyte are pretty affordable now,  pull everything to it your know you dont want to loose.

I actually went to 10 and after a small learning curve i like it a lot.   you can google changes for better performance to do to it.

None of that makes a lick of sense to me, but I'm happy because you're happy. 

Speaking of which, I got together with Jets60 a month ago or so to hang out one evening.  He played that song you wrote about the homeless man, and he put the chords on it.  Man, for a folksy storyteller and a metalizer, you guys make a great team.

Thanks so much.  it helps when he can sing it without getting all choked up like I do every time I sing it.  I Played that one  at chordiestock on fri or sunday, you must have been walking or sleeping lolol it's called Traveling Thomas.

Its been ages since I was here for a visit! So first of all a long over due HOWDY MY FELLOW CHORDIE FRIENDS!

Have not had a lot of time to write or play, but for those who did not get the word, I have moved from Texas back to WA State. I am working for Boeing Aircraft now.  I have been here 2 weeks I have not been able to hook up with Jerome.  sad    I have no doubt it will happen soon enough. cool 

I also posted a link in bands and artist.  My Nephew and his Step brother made their first EP.  They have come a long way since the very first link I posted of them. He had vocal lessons this last yr after 6 yrs of guitar lessons. it has really helped.  He and I are not close at all but I let him know tonight that I was proud of his achievements (music and other).  His dad and me are not close as brothers so I hope to change it a bit between he and I.

Well take care everyone!
Cheers!

Welcome to the nut house! The best bunch of loonies on the block!  Only thing I know DADGAD used for is some Zepp stuff.

http://explorersband.bandcamp.com/album … romatic-ep

No.  It didn't have any music yet.  I spent last night looking.  But thanks guys!

I had the urge to work on one of my dormant projects as one of the riffs I have come up with may work on it.  And $#%& if I can not find it!
SO I KNOW I SENT IT TO A FE W OF YOU,, If you happened to keep a copy of the song about an abused woman who finally fights back,,,, please send it back to me since I cant find my copy,, I cant even remember what I titled it! Digging through everything my name was on her, was no joy, and my 2T hard drive is about to go next but it may take time! LOL

Thanks in advance to any help provided smile
