OK, here's the deal...
Took my Peavey Generation EXP in for a tune up. Had a graphite nut installed (after my botched attempt at cutting my own from a blank - long story :o ), truss rod adjustment, intonation set, action lowered....the whole nine yards. Was prepared to pay hansomely for the service and was charged a whopping $40!! Yes, $40 Canadian dollars. It's like a brand new guitar! It practically plays itself -- which is good because I can barely play as it is :p
I've been reading about various rigs and set ups here and came across a Behringer Blues Overdrive for only $25. Figured I got a deal on my guitar reno's, so I grabbed it as well. OK, it's a cheapy compared to a BOSS Blues Driver or Digitech Bad Monkey, but I thought "what the heck, I'll give it a shot". Wow, what a difference! I love the AC30 preset on my AD30VT and with the overdrive I can add some crunch without drastically changing the tone or the volume, or I can use it for a gain boost when I want my eh hem "lead" to cut through the mix. That is so cool! And I learned it right here on theFret.net.
Anyway, just wanted to drop a line and say "Thanks". I've only been here a week and I've learned something already. And my GAS symptoms are getting worse! LOL!
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD :cool:
