Re: Old guy needs help with compressors

Yea Mark,
 
I'v looked there but at what? I havn't got a clue! 

As far as Begringer pedals goes. I have a Beginger TU 100 Tuner Pedal I use at Practice and I have no problem with it at all, other then NO ONE makes anything that picks up that friggin low "B"

I see a lot of guys say "But It's PLASTIC !" Frankly i don't have a problem at all with plastic pedals.....and my degree is in welding engineering.Worse yet, I own an industrial electrical and millwright company  and therefore should hate ANYTHING made out of plastic! 

I guess theere is a reason you don't see metal hard hats any more and the old GI steel pot like the one that once adorned my mellon is only seen in John Wayne movies.

All that said, I still havn't got a clue about the compressor pedals or even if I would like one if I knew how to use it.

soooooo
