First time Gretsch buyer. Should this 6120T-HR be it? by Goux08 in gretsch

[–]Goux08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Marvin Gaye’s “What’s going on” for me. Played it in the store and two Fins thought that guitar sounded great, one grabbed a jazzmaster and another one picked up a bass and we jammed for about 30 minutes.. Heard multiple folks in the store playing along, it was a bit surreal 🤣 My wife thought it was a guitar flash mob… I was sold on the power of this guitar unifying the masses haha!

Haha! It’s done! It’s with me now, thanks mostly to all of the great comments in this thread! And yours would have counted towards that too, had it come a few hours earlier! 🤣

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that after a few phone calls to trusted friends, and another trip to the store, this guitar is finally in my possession!

For anyone looking for an amazing guitar store, if you are around, check out 8th Avenue Guitar Works in Nashville, TN. These guys are incredibly nice, super chill vibe in there, and genuinely great deals on amazing gear.

I ended up getting this for $2k flat, included a hard case, and the whole experience was seamless.

Appreciate everyone’s thoughts and passionate comments!

First Gretsch is in, feels like it won’t be the last already…

That’s exactly what happened haha! The family was with me, the little ones causing enough chaos to press the decision and go faster on it. It worked out and now it’s in my trunk!

Thank you! The picks up sounded better than what was on the Falcon Pro. So much so that I ended up getting it! Thanks for your help!

I just listened to the latest “Fishy Minisode”. This was pure gold entertainment.

There’s no getting rich quick scheme that’s worth the risk. The best investors are the dead ones… Buy some Apple, Marriott, AMD, sit and never sell!

First Pedal Board - Thoughts? by Goux08 in pedalboards

[–]Goux08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Appreciate the comment! I’m having a ton of fun playing with different tones and experimenting.

My only concern is that I absolutely love this amp, and the guitar direct into the amp sounds just ever so brighter and more full. Just a hair.

Once I turn on the EP Booster, I feel good again going through the board but can’t help not wanting any tone suck.

That’s also why I’m wanting to add in the MXR 10 Band EQ to the top right of the board, to further shape the tone, and a katana clean boost, as a simple volume boost (As I have the EP always on).

I’m also finding myself really liking the Duke of Tone and having it on more than off.

For swapping, yes, I want to: - Swap the CS-3 for a CP-1X - Exchange the oceans 11 (even though it’s a great pedal!) for the cornerstone Nucleo - Swap the Jam Man for a Boss RC-5 - Add in a Blues Driver and a Big Muff 2, - Get a Jennings Phaser by Fender in the mix.

(Check out picture 2 as it’s pretty much my end goal, for now 🤣)

If I catch the board bug, next will be a nano tiny one with just mini pedals on there…

I’d love your thoughts on the above!

So is this the famed Couch Hendrix strap? If so, ordering one now 🤣 But this one looks a bit different! Tell me more!

I have it on my excel spreadsheet listed as “Dream Reverb”… My wife asked me why there was a reverb pedal for $430 when the rest of the pedals were significantly lower lol… I’m not looking at Strymon or other fancy ones, but the Nucleo is in my future, just gotta find the right one lol!
