Hey Aya, just curious. Did you play in a cover band before? I think I remember seeing someone who looked like you at Street Life in 1997...black Strat, with a female vocalist.

[trem3]

People just don't get it.       oasgomez is trying to make an issue out of his gear and your gear so everything sticks to your head.  Would you know what a Diezel Herbert is if he did not do his braggart image thingie? 

But I think the real acid test is doing a blindfold test with everyone's gear, and only ONE set of hands playing through them.  Remember Science in grade school?  Experimental variable and Controlled Variables?  Hehehe....

I guess the real problem here is that oasgomez does his claims based on HIS OWN HANDS and taste.  And no one knows (at least some) what skill level of guitar he is at. 

But there is a lot of wisdom in learning from people you hate.  You know, it's like having a terror prof in college that you really hate, but if you love the subject, you'll do your best to learn from him. 

Now I pose a question:  When someone says "kanya-kanya lang yan...", does that mean, "kanya-kanya lang na budget limits yan kaya masaya na ako sa [cheap] setup ko" o "kanya-kanya lang yan dahil nabili at nasubukan ko na lahat ng mahal at murang gear at etong setup ko ang gusto ko..."

For me, I don't think we should make any claims without trying things for ourselves.  Soundclips can be misleading too.  Almost all of the Soldano SLO 100 clips I heard cannot even fair up to how it sounds in a live scenario.  So I guess oas has the right NOT to post clips unless his goal is to show CHOPS. 

Anyway, I've been attacked in a different local forum as well by some who present themselves as advocates of netiquette and politicky [gooey brown stuff], just because I share some same thoughts as oas. 

The difference is, if oasgomez is a "tone elitist", I on the other hand is a "tone social climber".   

[deltaslim]

"Kanya-kanya" refers to personal like/dislike of whatever tone people are evaluating.  It's supposed to HAVE NOTHING TO DO with how much it costs to produce that tone.  Either you like or you don't, period.  No reason to convince that it's good just because it costs $$$ and therefore sounds good, or <insert famous gtrst> plays it and therefore it sounds good.

Btw, you often mention na balat sibuyas kasi mga Filipino/tao dito kaya laging napapaaway kay Oas...  Would you call Oas 'balat sibuyas' also because he gets riled up when people post dissenting opinions?

[toybitz]

besides, everything about this thread are opinions.

whether Alex is stirring up a hornet's nest or not...the hornet still stings!  Philmusic is still a social place, and that's a fact!

Blues,

I found this helpful. I never wanted a hot box and now probably wont even bother trying one. 

Id like to see how this pedal fairs witht he tone cat or the extreme tone pedals by bad cat.

remarks, retorts...sarcasm, no need to be technical.

tugtugan na lang sana ang basehan...hindi wether youve owned this, owned that...

dude, if you're makin a sincere review as a service for other people planning a certain purchase...sincere ba makin a review about something that's not for the financially challenged? how many people would find it useful kung hanggang pangarap lang sa karamihan.

this is a music website that's directed at the pinoy musician.most of whom, dont even own their own amps for gigs.much less afford $300-400 worth na stompbox.

how useful is a review na katulad ng sa iyo.

informative? can you do it with less 'intriguing' posts? nagkaroon ka ng madaming kaaway tuloy...what kind of service is that?

dude, the only reason why i apologize the last time was because i stooped down to your level. want you to know how it feels to be insulted. you didnt even apologize for insulting my musicianship and lack of hit songs 

pero sabihin ko uli. i would listen kung credible talaga ang reviewer...meaning

the reviewer not only owns a particular piece of equipment...but can play...play, play.. more than having extensive experience with equipment through purchasing them...it's more of the extensive experience, playing them.

sino ang papaniwalaan mo? ung nakakatugtog ng "statesboro blues"? or ung nag popower chord lang and a couple of licks.

I (actually, nobody in this forum) therefore cannot claim tha Van Halen's gear is good because I have not tried it..... tama ba? 

[blue buddha]

"Kanya-kanya" refers to personal like/dislike of whatever tone people are evaluating.  It's supposed to HAVE NOTHING TO DO with how much it costs to produce that tone.  Either you like or you don't, period.  No reason to convince that it's good just because it costs $$$ and therefore sounds good, or <insert famous gtrst> plays it and therefore it sounds good.

+1+1. It all boils down to tone being a matter of personal taste -- notwithstanding price, technology, etc. There's room in world for all of it. But there's a spot in one's heart for what one prefers.

Perfectly ok to say Van Halen's stuff sounds good to you even if you haven't tried it, but it's less credible to say that his gear is universally good for everyone just 'cuz you like it. Kanya kanya lang 'yan. 

[glassjaw_jc]

pero.. pero... sabi nila you can't claim anything unless you've tried it? so pano yun? 

[Poundcake]
