I have loved "picking the brains" of GC salespeople to see what they think a certain amp or pedal might offer. Pretty funny stuff they come up with.

Cheers.



HA! I think these answers would make a fun thread itself ...... might be fun to get everyone to go to their local GC as see what kind of answers they get .... like point at the BJF design on the MP and go what the hell does that mean and whos BJF ??/


I think I will take you up on your "challenge", Donner, and go in tomorrow or Monday. I love being an ass by assking questions I KNOW they cannot honestly answer. Perhaps I should even bring in my HBOD and ask what they think is most comparable to the pedal.

Last time I went into GC (a LONG time ago), they were trying to sell me on some funky recording equipment when I went in to get a cable. When I went out to play with the Les Pauls, they were all beat to hell, the intonation was awful and there were no cables to plug into the amps with. I appreciate metal, but I always hear the same metallica and megadeth stuff. Those 15 year olds are pretty good at those. "Buy a Line 6 amp, bud. You NEED one of those. Tubes are outdated -- what my dad used to play..."

Is anyone else interested in taking this challenge?
keeping life interesting ...

I'm inclined to agree. But then, I grow more disappointed each day with the state of most of humanity. The first time I saw Idiocracy, I didn't know whether to laugh, or cry because I could see it coming true all around me...
