You know that brand that you have had most pieces of gear from, that rarely let you down, that you still use, and would use it again?
What is your favorite brand, the brand that you like to use, and would always like to find on stage? Mine is Fender, anything from Fender, and I can get along well with it. Wait.. Gibson too.. and Marshall.. hmm aaand.. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Probably a bit different as my needs aren't the same as most of you guys. Anyway my fav gear brand is:
Lavry - we've been using their ADCs and DACs for years as pro interfaces and never had a problem. Not cheap (about 2k USD for a 2 channel DAC) but wonderful build quality and sonic quality. The majority of the pro end stuff we use performs well (including an Eventide and I'd +1 fkalich's comments) - - and we have some hardware that goes back many years. To some extent at the pro end we pay for both sonic quality and build reliability as we can't afford studio downtime. If a piece of hardware goes down we end up having to rent temporarily whilst it's repaired and pro end rentals and repairs are expensive and annoying. (Last unit that we had to do do this with was an EQ - cost us 1000USD for the repairs etc and another 800USD rental but still cheaper than the 7000USD for a new piece.) A little OT but I do know one pro live sound engineer who uses cheap ADCs. His argument is that instead of having 1 reliable pro ADC for 4000 USD that he can have 10 unreliable 400 USD units. He assumes that at least 1 of those ten will work fine. When it goes wrong he just tries the other 9 until he finds an ok one. He reckons he might have to junk 3 or 4 but that's only a total cost of 2400USD and he still has 4 or 5 units spare... -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Guitars: I like all kinds, but tend to play my Gibson Les Paul the most. If I ever buy another LP, it will be a another Gibson.
Amps: Not really picky about amps, though I agree with Fkalich it has to be a tube amp Picks: Dunlop Jazz 3's Effects: Started out playing on a Digitech RP 500, and to be honest never really tried anything else. So I guess it qualifies as a favorite for now! Straps: After trying several different methods of locking straps, I found that Planet Lock straps by Planet Wave tend to work the best for me. They work with your existing strap buttons, and fit everything from my Les Paul to my Casino. Cables: I use Peavey the most. -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat
Gear I Use: Guitars: Gibson: Les Paul Custom, ES-339, and Faded Flying V Fender: American Stratocaster Deluxe (I think?) Epiphone: Les Paul 56' Gold Top and Les Paul Standard, Casino Yamaha: FG720S Accoustic Amps: Fender Champ, Peavey Bandit 112, and an ancient Epiphone Amp:) Effects: Digitech RP 500 Effects Pedal Picks: Dunlop Jazz IIIs Practice, Practice, Practice, and remember Every Artist Does Get Better Eventually! |

How about this. FAV GEAR BRAND:
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS Fave Gear GUITAR RIG 4. It has been a big shift for me, but I honestly now prefer the custom patches I"ve created in Guitar Rig to my physical rig. I never thought I'd see the day. I started using Guitar Rig for teaching lessons in video chat as it's a great way get clean signal in to my compute for sharing over video stream. Then one day, instead of plugging my amp up after a lesson, I just started tweaking the patch in guitar rig. Next thing you know, I hadn't used my amp in several days. Now I reach for guitar rig first. It's like having a great guitar amp in a great soundproof room, with great micrphones on it, just sitting there and waiting. Then whenever you want, you just plug in and hear the great sounding amp through your studio monitors. Just like you would in a standard studio. That's maybe what's so great about it. In many home studio setups, the guitar amp is actually in the same room with the audio monitors doing the mixing. AT which point, you get signal bleed, frequency cancellation, noise, etc. So boing able to keep the amp inside the computer is handy. I"m attaching the patch I used in today's Video Chat Lesson. If you have Guitar Rig 4, fire it up and let me know what you think Todd _GMC_LESSON_68__Tubey_Emulation__FINAL.ksd.zip ( 5.57K ) Number of downloads: 66 |
