RChevalier @effectsbay hmmm.. all of them … LOL
idhindsight @effectsbay: Gear can be caught, skill can’t. So that’s what I’m lacking. That and theory.
tiogitar A record deal, that would be a blast
RChevalier @effectsbay we never sufficient skills, and always will exist better equipments
filipeguitar @effectsbay Skill 🙂
SONICSHIFTBAND @thepedalnerd @effectsbay A great sound person running the board ! : )
MMisanthropy @effectsbay Tube poweramp. I’d love a Mesa 2:90 or VHT 2/50/2 but I’ll give the Atomic MB50 a spin.
thomas4th @effectsbay Skill, definitely. Of course, more gear is always nice. 🙂
GuitarJar @effectsbay Skill!

Paul Licke Skill and practice, lot’s of practice
Otis Ehrlich A 1958 les paul vos and and maybe a marshall plexi superlead?!?!
David Verdugo Fender Twin Reverb and lots of practice.
Matt Wolf I would like to know more about how the order of pedals effects the sound…. I know there are guidelines on how to place your pedals in a chain. Let’s hear more about that.
Florian Zeh Rught now: Amp. Always: Practice.
Dean Tompkins I don’t need skills or practice…I just keep buying more gear cuz THAT will make me sound better….right guys?
Maurice Richard Libby Oddly, what I really need is an amp that gives me the same tone as some if the modellers I use. I’d like an amp that would give me the Tweed and Twin sounds from my Korg Pandora.
Sam Binder practise and a 128-step sequencer. 64 isn’t cutting it. Maybe a better drum brain module too.
Christian Artieda Probably a good amp is what I need right now
Will Peck I’m shopping for a real stage-worthy amp so I can go electric with a full band. I mainly play rhythm (sometimes a little lead) and am leaning toward the ’65 Deluxe Reverb reissue.
Dan Cross Practice. More gigs. More free beer. And a bunch of pedals I’m never going to be able to afford. And a twin reverb.
Ben Brandt Time to practice. Never enough hours in the day.
Mick Blowe Waiting for a local dealer to get the SubDecay Proteus in stock so I can check it out – It’s not the kind of pedal I’d wanna buy without playing it first. But chances are I’ll buy it after playing it for 10 minutes. PS: I had a Deluxe Reverb reissue and it kinda sucked. They’ve really loosened their standards on what constitutes a reissue, and it doesn’t even hold a candle to a real Deluxe, or for that matter, a Top Hat Club Deluxe, which doesn’t have reverb, but blows the current Fenders off.
