So if Stephen Hawking is so intelligent why can't he punch a dwarf in the dick and I can ey?

Stephen Hawking would spend $40 and buy a used CryBaby cuz he is intelligent and understands not all pedals are created equal....

Yes but is he going to have to do bunny hops on it?

Meh those things will wear out unless he got quality brand seconds

Nah! Robot legs are robot legs.

Snap back to the OP!

no there not, what if we are talking alder wood peg pirate legs with hydrolic servo's and rotary gerder spec pistons and Willy Wonka flavor Vs Carbon fiber or even adamantium?....hmmmmm?

I don't know what I can't wait for more: finding out poorhillbilly is actually a 15 year old who lives with his mum and dad; or, perhaps even funnier, that he isn't.

Tell you one thing, those legs better not be cleared in polyurethane cause it's gonna suck your wah toanz right outta your ears...

And you better make them analog by using knobs and sliders!

This thread has taken a curve. What was it originally about.....................Oh yeah. A wah.

SGJarrod · Post by **SGJarrod** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:47 pm

this is a great Analog delay, its obviously analog cuz the knobs...

This isn't accurate. It's not analog in any way. It's completely software-based modelling. These virtual analogs are essentially soft synths in fancy, easy-to-use packaging. There's nothing wrong with that (I loved my Blofeld, MS2000, and AN1x) but that's what they are. They're not actual analog synths.

As I said its the closest new product by Roland to replicate their Analog Synthesizers with digital oscillators like the Juno 06, and especially the Juno 106 which had midi. Virtual analog is designed to replicate Analog synths without the added hassles of tuning and and overheating. its probably better in many ways.

What do you actually do here. do you have any gear? what are you? you seem to spend alot of time in the pub. fair enough. I don't anything about the Daphon Wah. Its not something you exactly go into a shop and ask ''what do you think of this product?'' they'll go "What, ahhh we can order it in for you?'' I'm just trying to seek some sort of higher meaning and understanding about this product, obviously I won't be finiding it from you.

I can't tell if you're just taking the piss or what. To say "its probably better in many ways" is...odd. I've had a lot of older analog synths as well as some VAs and when it comes to sounds, the majority of those analog synths were superior to the VAs I had. Not all, but most, and none of them suffered the "added hassles of tuning and overheating". The only synth I've ever owned that shat the bed so badly that it was useless was a VA.

You haven't had many issues with oscillator drift in your true analogs, plaidbeer? I suppose that's really only a concern when you're recording and having to repeat playing parts in the same recording and needing to match the timbre exactly of what had already been recorded.

No, I didn't, and that includes analogs with VCOs (had a Jupiter-8, Oberheim OB8--my favorite, and a Korg Polysix) as well as DCOs (had a crap-ton of DCO-based analogs over the years). There were only two analogs I had issues with, but they were issues that were specific to those models and are now known issues. I had a Juno-106 that had a faulty voice chip (would cut out and distort intermittently--Juno-106s are known for bad chips) and a JX-10 where most of the buttons on the front panel stopped responding because the rubber underneath the panel that kept them in place started drying out and disintegrating. I would advise against buying either.

On the VA side, I had a Waldorf Blofeld that I loved, but the main board crapped out and had to be replaced, which was nearly as much as what I paid for it used. So, I had to sell it for next to nothing because I'm done dealing with Waldorf and their buggy synths.
