When I first began this particular episode, I had every intention on just making it about the Ego Compressor from Wampler Pedals. But, as usual it morphed into me grabbingother pedals in this case the Wampler Paisley Overdrive and of corse following that up with the Tech21 Fly Rig 5. So the question is, between these three pedals, at this point, which one would win in a head to head shootout? It really isn't fair to do this but, I am do to the simple fact that even with fx on my amp, one pedal still came out as the superior device. Which one do you think won this rather one sighted shootout? I for one love the versatility of the Fly Rig 5 from Tech21. Tech21 is great and their devices are simply amazing. Now, for individual stand alone fx units, Wampler Pedals does a fantastic job. One thing that I didn't cover in the episode is my thoughts on Buffered verses True bypass so, let me go on record and say that sense my learning of the difference between the two and experiencing both Buffered bypass and True bypass, I can absolutely say that I am a Buffered Bypass guy. Sorry to my fellow guitar geeks who will mostly all disagree with me. But hey, when your spending thousands of dollars just to get quality buffers in your signal chain compared to the guy with an already buffered unit, it just makes sense. Plus a good buffer won't degrade your tone and so the trick is finding companies which make buffered bypassed units which are actually quality and contain quality buffers. An example of corse is tech21. Learn about them at tech21nyc.com and if your a true bypass guy, that's ok. A great company for true bypassed pedals is absolutely Wampler Pedals. You can learn about them over at wamplerpedals.com and note that my opinion is simply that. It's my opinion. Nobody is paying me to say all of this. I have never made a sent from this podcast and while I could turn this venture into a profitable income perhaps, I didn't start this show to do that. I began this podcast as a place to put my recordings and the like and that's how it's going to stay. I do the marketing, the production, the mixing, the uploading, all of that. And why? Because I enjoy it. I don't have a team behind me, all of this stuff I do myself as it's something I enjoy. I have always enjoyed producing audio content. Even when I was a small child I would take tapes and make audio content with them. Anyway, The reviews of products are all my doing and are usually products I have bought. Sometimes my brother or something will be there with a product such as his bass Fly Rig 5 which we have talked about before on this podcast. But, other then that, every product is purchased by me and reviewed exclusively by me. That all being said, if you have an idea for a show or a question, drop me an email.
