Guitar Hero...for REAL??

Disney Star Guitarist

Unlike the current Guitar Hero game, Disney's Star Guitarist uses a real guitar, you get a 3/4-sized Disney guitar made by the Washburn company.

But you can also string your very own guitar with the special strings which are included with the $200 game which will be released for both PC and Mac.

This looks aot more practical compare to the lameass plastic buttons of the current game.

Hong Kong / Macau Trip 2008

Havent been overseas in ages, this was a very welcomed trip, got to relax & see what its like in HK & Macau.

Looking forward to another trip!

Effect Pedals - #26 - Radial Tonebone Trimode

Number 26, Radial Tonebone Trimode.

I was so happy with the Tonebone Classic i decided to upgrade to this Trimode which even has its own effects loop...how cool is that!?

It is extremely extremely versatile with the 2-channels, and you can also further tweak the amount of gain turning the "screw"(?) on the side.

I put it beside my Tonebone Classic & tweaked it till it sounded exactly the same as i got used to that sound, then i sold off my Tonebone Classic.

Effect Pedals - #25 - Analogman CompRossor

Number 25, the AnalogMan CompRossor.

This is one of the few boutique pedals that i own.

Yes, its a great compresser pedal, very clear sound, quiet & it enhances your sound nicely with rich sustain

Effect Pedals - #24 - ISP Decimator

Number 24, the ISP Decimator, noise reduction pedal.

this is one of those highly regarded noise gates, from my personal experience it works great when you have less than 2 noisy pedals in your chain. More than that it might not be able to kill the noise.

It doesn't color your tone as much as other noise gates and there really isn't any noise when its active.

Effect Pedals - #23 - Radial Tonebone Classic

Number 23,

is the Radial Tonebone Classic equipped with a 12AX7 vacuum tube,

this pedal blew me away when i first played through it.

It was the first time i actually heard creamy tube tone.

This pedal is fantastic for John Petrucci, Andy Timmons type lead-tone.

It is extremely versatile with the "top end", "mid boost" & "drive gain" settings available to tweak to your desired sound.

It is no doubt one of the top tube equipped pedals out there.
