GAS and Karma
They say what goes around comes around. Seems like I've been going around alot with my equipment setup too. A while back I bought a Vox Tonelab table top version and really liked how it lacked a lot of the fizz I had in the amp models of my GT-8. I put my GT-8 up for sale on Craigslist and the guy who sold me my Tonelab came by and bought it.
When he was buying the GT-8 he mentioned that he wished he hadn't sold the Tonelab. Fast forward a month or so and I see he's listing the GT-8 back for sale. It showed up on CL yesterday for $225 so I called him and asked him if he wanted the Tonelab back for the original $125 he sold it to me for and I would give him a $100 and take the GT-8 back. He agreed and the deal is done.
Why you may ask... If not I'm telling ya anyway.
Even though the Tonelab was free of fizz and I thought it sounded really good, it turned out that when I tried to recreate tones, in comparison it sounded muffled and lacked clarity.
As a side thing I'm always playing with different separate pedals trying make a pedal board. Recently I bought a 3 channel tube preamp that has a sparklely bright clean channel and two nice sounding distortion channels. The GT-8 has a great selection of FX and a send/receive loop that I can put the preamp in. It's fully configurable wrt FX ordering so I can put my wah, compressor in front of the loop and my time delay and modulation FX after.
So basically I can replace the fizzy amp modeling in GT-8 with my Hafler preamp and use all the other good stuff in the GT-8 with it. Hope to get a new recording up soon!
