Carl, don't know if I'm really good on mine or not, but most times I'm really just 3 and 5. But some songs just need some special treatment from time to time and that's when I bring the others in.

Again, that's just me, probably others a lot better at it on a consistent basis than me.

How many raises/lowers were on each finger of that PSG? Maybe four or five of each? Wow.

I'm sure Erv and the Emmons faithful who seem to think the company can do no wrong would love for this thread to close, just like they've tried to take over and shut down all the other ones that told their stories on how they were shafted by the company. I intend to pursue this as much as possible, ...

First off, I'm not trying to offend those who have the all-in-one Fractal Axe-FX, I glad they're happy with it. I've just never liked all-in-ones in anything, be it amps, printers, what have you. In the way I look at things, if one part of an all-in-one goes, it all goes. Not so with "separates...

We have one here in North Carolina that still does that for consumer complaints. WRAL in Raleigh still does investigation on companies they receive viewer complains on.

That would be Shawn's call however.

Yep, we're definitely straying from the topic and Shawn's issues with Emmons. Instead of being sympathetic and helpful, we continue to have detractors and "Emmons faithful" steering it away from it's true course. I wish it was some of the "Emmons faithful" that had their money ti...

Shawn, with your written permission, may I send a copy of this to the NC Secretary of State? I think they should know, and investigate to possibly suspend or withdraw Emmons license to do business. No one else should have to go through what you have so far. My opinion is it's time to end this, as mu...

I was going to suggest the TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb Pedal with TonePrint, but saw you were looking a lower price range (it goes for around $150). Tim's deal sounds a lot more in that range and a good reverb to boot. Good luck.

...looks like four nylon tuners, wonder if they raise or lower, or just one function for each string. Would be interesting to know what each did and the underlying thoughts behind it.

Erv, when you mentioned how you did yours, I went to look at the Boss lineup to see what you might have. I figured it was the one you show in the pic, made more sense to have 2 loops available. Saw it at one place for about $80, guess it to be about the same anywhere else. Thank you for the info, mu...

With all due respect to Mike, this topic has gone way off course. This is not about Mike, it's about Shawn and his issues with Emmons, if anyone wants to plead with Mike, I think it needs to be taken to a new topic.
