Get down from there coffee, you do not belong on that dog. You are a beverage.

cdrom drives

When did everyone stop selling them?! This sucks. My only option is to buy some $50 dvd/blu-ray/burner type drive. ALL I WANT IS A FREAKIN CD OR DVD DRIVE!!! Nobody sells them anymore. I used to buy them from pc club or fry's for 10-15 bucks. I've been stuck for days because I'm unwilling to shell out that much money for something I'll need maybe 3 times total. I used to have them just lyging around but I guess I got rid of my last one without thinking I'd ever be unable to find one. uuuuggghhhhh......

Line 6 Echo Park

Great Features, not so great tone.

The Echo Park will pretty much give you whatever you need in delays, analog tones, digital, tape trails, mod. Swell, reverse, DOTTED 8THs, etc... I think the best features in one pedal for under $200.

The problem is, although many people say it doesn't, it really does degrade your tone. It takes a lot of the depth out of it. Dynamics aren't as dynamic. Everything sounds flat and boring. And this is in bypass mode AND active mode. I use a class A 5 watt tube amp with either an '86 japanese tele, or a Gibson Les Paul studio, and I definitely notice the tonal difference. When I'm playing live, I completely notice the sound difference in the amplified house. I wish there were a pedal out there for under $200 that doesn't mess up your tone and really does all the sweet delays. If anyone knows of something, please tell me.
