    I haven't gotten any of the packs yet, although I'll probably get the metal pack at some point (given that's my primary style of playing). I bought it very lightly used for $250 too. :p

    Boss GT-8 owns the Pod series. Seriously, i own the Boss and my boss has the Pod. I prefer mine :D. I love that thing to death.

    I heard the Pod is better for hard rock/metal amp models, which is my primary style of playing anyhow.

    The GT8 is a nice pedal, but useless for me. I only "jam" at home, so I don't really have the need for any kind of serious floor board. The studio is where I keep all of my stuff, including all 19 amps. (One of which being an original '73 Crate 2x12)

    And Yoyo, is that an Ibanez Iceman in your signature? One of the worst and weakest tempered guitars I have ever had the unfortunate act of playing.

    Thanks man. That's actually not my studio, that's just my "jam room" at my old residence. :p Now, at my new place, I store about 16 guitars, and a few amps, just to make me feel at home. Like I said, maybe I can grab some shots of the studio. Now that I'm there 6 1/2 days a week, I don't see why I can't grab some pictures. :)

    I use amps distortion, not pedals. I use the pedal board for the best effects on the planet....

    haha, the iceman is one of the best ibanezes ever made. Are you sure the one you played wasn't one the many cheap ripoffs? The real ibanez icemans are amazing. Paul gilbert uses them.

    It looks like it. I also have a 24" Sceptre, the X24WG model. The color quality is pretty awful, but it is one of the cheapest 1920x1200 lcd's available. I bought it primarily for the screen real estate, and it fits my needs perfectly; I could care less about poor color reproduction.

    Well, to each his own, but I've played thousands and thousands of guitars, over the course of 10 years. I played a custom Iceman at NAMM '07, and was far from impressed. I guess when you haven't dabbled into high-end temperament, it's hard to understand what I'm seeing/hearing in the guitar.

    On a side note, I met Paul Gilbert at NAMM, great guy, and fantastic guitar player. He was there with Audio Technica, so his booth was far from mine. (I was there with Sonor Drums)

    Yeah $300 for 24in 1920x1200 is not bad. I personally use it when gaming at home on my dell, but then again I do alot more work then gaming these days.

    Thanks for the comments, Yep, its the 24 inch sceptre, I got it from costco, it is a great monitor. the color was pretty bad at first, but i adjusted everything from my Nvidia control panel and it looks awesome. It was a great price, about 200 bucks less than the competition. My case is a Tuniq 3, from newegg, its a great looking case and is very nice.

    Oh, i've played many high end guitars. Believe me.

    I think it's ironic that you like the Pod's, but not the iceman series. lol. Pod = Digital, iceman = classic

    Well, there's no since in arguing over opinion. Yes, I do like the Pod, but like I have stated, I've only used it at home. I've never actually tried to record with it. Just a side note, and to mean no offense, but are you familiar with Equal Temperament? Do you understand how it works? If so, you would see the flaw most see in the Iceman. But, to many, ET isn't a big deal, which is fine.

    As for Sonor, I have a 6 year endorsement with them, so I attended NAMM '07 with them to premier the new SQ2's (which I play), and NAMM '08 with Paiste Cymbals.

    Yeah, a lot of people don't worry about it, and it's not much of a problem until you get into harmonics (major/minor), or key syncopation.

    Sorry for thread hi-jack!

    I use the NEC as TV, just happened to be on since I just built that Antec box as a file server and was copying files. Fry's had the case for $30 and Newegg had a BE-2400 for $30 and a PSU for $30 so I decided to separate my storage drives from my desktop since I don't leave it on all the time and it is a bit of hassle to turn it on just to access some files.

    I got mine off Ebay for pretty cheap on Ebay with 4 yr warranty. It was $170 I think. Having a 20 next to a 30 is highly recommended. Add another and you are in heaven lol.
