    ok the title of this thread is pretty self explanitory, why the hell did it close down i dont get it, it was a dead handy site with a good bit of traffic id recon so with traffic came cash from advertising so why did it close?

    The forums there are very good though. They have major major trafffic and the site has been neglected by the owners so the chat server cant handle the traffic so at peak times its hard to launch threads

    They also got the gig doing the illustratations for Guitar World so that probably means they can sit on their arse most of the time...

    Lazyness! it just fits perfectly that way on my pedalboard, and i use the Ps-5 like whammy pedal for pitch shifting type effects and for hamronies, dont want that getting all muffled up, same with delay, they work grand there, Chorus works grand in the chain too,

    the talkbox is only used when theres no other fx in the chain on and its easier to turn it on and off when its placed there thaz all!

    Where do you get all the icons? I might do up one, although it would be very, very short and sweet.
