    Default Hello from Ireland!

    Should have introduced myself a while back. Im Gerard from Ireland, I've just got back into the guitar and now cant put it down! I played years ago and got bored so gave it up (won't happen again). I appreciate all styles for musical ability from heavy metal to classical. Right now Im learning a lot of funk and some reggae, I love Andy Summers' work with the The Police.

    Gear:

    Fender Tele US Deluxe http://elderly.com/fmic/items/FADTS-ACB-MPL.htm
    Fender Stratocaster Highway One

    VOX Valvetronix AD50

    Cheap wah pedal
    BOSS DD-6

    Welcome Ger!
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I'm not Irish, despite being told I must be by a very old woman who, appropriately enough, ran a B&B called Blarney House, within spitting distance of Blarney Castle.
