DGT

[gush]

A Blues Driver in front of a Fender Tweed or Blackface sounds unreal good.

I have a blues driver and it is my intention to pull out this fender amp in my possession and try it .

The BD happens to be one of the pedals I was referring to at GC.

Blues Driver is a great OD pedal. Fender amps are generally very pedal-friendly.

Lacking a PRS DG Amp, I can't think of what else might be better for that guitar.

I need a DGT...another guitar on the GAS list.

Another good one is stacked tube screamers. I use an 808 and a TS9 to do this and it sounds fantastic.

I can get behind that any day of the week, a great combo. A, B, A/B--what's not to like? Another great pedal is the Strymon Sunset. Using MIDI, you can A, B, A/B and B/A on 6 different algorithms that are top notch. 300 memorizable preset combinations as well with that. The JFET boost is really nice.

I have a DGT in a color that was done by Wildwood and I think is only 5 guitars. I like it a lot.

There's nothing quite like a stacked screamer.

"They're talking about pedals."

"Oh."

On to the OD pedals and amps. I have played Fender amps and amps with Fender circuits in them most of my time as a guitar player. Most OD pedals sound good through them but some do not. All Fender amps are not created equal either. I would stick to a Twin Reverb, Hot Rod Deluxe or Deluxe. All of these are good sounding amps. The way I have them listed goes from higher to lower power. I am not sure what your playing situation is. I actually have two of these models that I am thinking about selling. Too bad you were not in South Florida.

I am kind of an OD pedal junkie. I have a bunch of them. My process has been that if I try an OD pedal and I like it, I keep it. There will be a day when I am looking for that tone again. I also like having them for use with different amps. Some pedals just sound better with a Fender circuit and others sound better with a Marshall circuit.

Allegedly a lot of pedal makers use a Fender Deluxe Reverb to tune their pedal circuits.

In all honesty, I can easily afford to buy a new DGT but wife and I are just tucking away money like crazy in a final push towards retirement.

We have a plan so I don't feel right just dipping into one of our accounts for a new guitar purchase.

It is taking a lot of will power as there are a ton of cool guitars out there.

I’m doing exactly the same. So I bought a used DGT last month. Much lower on the guilt meter ;-)

I'll definitely go used market to help ease the guilt factor as well.

Trying to decide if I should go hog dgt?

 

[gush]

I have three 97 CEs. Two of them have 5310s. My hog ce22 sounds better that my emerald ce24 so i know the all mahogany body brings something different to the table

Yes, I apologize for that. I don't have a good photo sharing site so I can't post pictures. The color it is in is Abalone. IT is a nice blueish greenish color that looks really good in natural light. I wonder if Amazon photos works for posting them? I may have to look into that.

Thats how I got mine.

I googled a stock photo of an abalone DGT from Wildwood

A DGT Standard would be my preference too.

I personally use Imgur because it was relatively easy and free to set up, and you can keep your photos private from people browsing the site, but can still provide direct links to individual images for forums like this.

Does Dee still have his?

His was David’s old McCarty trem. I helped him to sell it to someone here, I think?

That is what mine looks like. The natural wood part, like on the headstock and in the lower cut away, is a little darker on mine. It has a little green in the finish that doesn't come through in photos. It is a really cool color in person.

 

[Mike Duncan]

Goldtop DGT? That sounds like a pretty nice guitar.

I remember that guitar. Wasn't that some sort of DGT prototype?
