Sometimes Things Still Suck
If there has been a theme recently, it has to be something about how nostalgia drives more guitar gear desire than anything else out there. Why else would Van Halen still be such a force in the business, despite not having anything meaningful to say musically since the eighties? I'm terrible for this. Every few months, maybe years, I pull my Korg AX10G out of the closet, convinced that there are great sounds contained inside, and that if I was only patient enough, I could pull them out... And each and every time, I give up after 20 minutes, mostly disappointed. Look, if you can pick this up for twenty bucks or so, and you aren't expecting much, then this is a great buy. the 70s Marshall sound, set to low gain (less than 1/3rd), is the best clean sound in there, and the tremolo (which is harmonic I think), is pretty great sounding. The entire thing is plastic though, so the effects selector is dodgy, and the whole thing feels like a toy. In short, it's bullsh...
