Guitar Gear
As well as listening to music I also enjoy playing it. Primarily I play acoustic guitar, but I pull out the electric once and a while as well. My gear setup isn't exactly spectacular. I've got an Agile AL-3100 from rondomusic, which is a great guitar for the money (yes, that is an affiliate link. Don't feel obligated to click it.) running into a Zoom G2 and then to a Behringer AC108. The thing I want to upgrade the most is my amp. I've got my eye on the new Vox AC4tv, although I've never actually tried one and I don't have that kind of money right now. Anyway, I've never felt like I've been able to get the sound I wanted out of my gear, but today I was playing with my settings and found something I actually like. I set my Zoom's drive setting to the JC Clean setting which does an excellent job of producing a very nice sounding clean guitar, even through my cheap little amp. Now, I knew that my amp has a tube in the distortion section so I decided to try turning that channel on and... it sounded great. It seems to me that a lot of guitarists use a tube distortion pedal and have it run into a good sounding clean amp. My setup is basically the opposite: a good sounding clean pedal into an amp with tube distortion.
