    As far as tubes go, I like JJ's a lot more. I do love EH's pedals tho, I own quite a few.

    @dead_red_eyes: If I'm not mistaken, it's just a Holy grail with more features right? I don't move that button from the 'hall' setting ever. So it wasn't really worth the cash personally. That reverb tone is surprisingly better than the one on my vox ac30...which still sounds stellar. I'm such a reverb nut that I actually switch between the vox and the holy grail reverb. Yes, I'm a nerd.

    @ThisCharmingMan:


    Well there's lots more options on the Holy Grail than their is on your Vox AC30 (is it handwired btw?). Yeah the Holier Grail has more options ... I dig the reverse gate. The Holiest Grail is pretty sweet too.

    @dead_red_eyes: Well yeah, I was just trying to say that the vox reverb, along with the spring and hall settings of the Holy Grail net me enough reverb versatility for my nerd tunes. I WISH it was a handwired one. I actually was very very close to picking up an old 1960's Vox with all the original parts for a little under 4 grand, BUT it simply wouldnt be practical. You can't move those things at all, and I will be doing extensive touring later in the year. Sigh, I guess it will have to wait until I have a fantastic recording space.

    You guys should see if you can get a tour of the Moog factory.

    "Sure there isn't a whole lot of mainstream demand for vacuum tubes these days, what with those fancy solid state electronics everybody's been talking about, but in certain audiophile circles, nothing beats the clean boost of a tube amp."


    ....painfully obvious you aren't a guitarist/bassist.


    No offense.

    Exactly what I was thinking. John Mahoney clearly doesn't know much about this subject.

    There is indeed no comparison between solid-state guitar amps and effects vs. the tube-driven variety. Indeed, some amazing advancements have been made recently with solid-state technology, even Marshall Amplification and Vox have some incredible solid-state models, but there is nothing (read: nothing!) like the sound of an overdriven tube amp. You can FEEL the difference.

    @MURPHtheSURF: Absolutely... the digital stuff is fun for one reason: for small investment you get a shit-ton of sounds to play with, but they never scream properly...


    ...and I like screaming.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Probably one of the best effects pedals I've ever used, hands down. Always gives you that "oooh, that sounds amazing, remind me of..." feeling.

    @BeautifulAgony: My rocker-chick cousin loves their stuff, but the title of this article has an amusing little twist to the name, or at least my late-nite-mode mind sees it that way.
