Delicious to play!

Very versatile. I have an Epiphone EJ200 for a while and I play a lot of Oasis/Noel Gallagher songs with it. But it's a strumming guitar. 000-X1AE allows me to play other stiles, like John Mayer, even Ed Sheeran (that plays a Little Martin) and many other styles.

Oasis Sound

Every strum sounds like Noel Gallagher is playing, not me!

Very precise

It is awesome. Very very precise. I've been using a tuner on the headstock of my guitar and some mobile apps. All of them are a lot less precise compared to TU-3. Mobile apps are helpfull when you are at some friends house or something and you don't have a real tuner with you. But to record, TU-3 is the best option.

Perfect

I've been using Ernie Ball 2223 on my Les Paul Studio and wanted to try EXL115. The low E started to buzz a lot. I thought it was due to the gauge change (.9 to .11). I thought it needed some adjustments on the bridge, truss rod... But before trying that, I removed the strings and restring my guitar with Ernie Ball 2720 (also .11). Where is the buzz?! Gone! And more: it nailed every string tune. Maybe someday I will try EXL 115 againg, but any time soon. Now my favorite strings are Ernie Ball 2223 and Ernie Ball 2720.

Buzz

I know not setting up the guitar when changing the string gauge is an illusion. But that was my experience.

Perfect

I use it on my Gibson Les Paul Studio. It's incredibly smooth and enjoyable to play. It stays in tune and it is amazing since I am using it on a Les Paul, that is known by having some "staying in tune issues".

Love it

It sounds really amazing! I can't afford an Standard, but come on... It's Gibson Les Paul... Love Les Paul sound... Rock and Blues are my favorite music style and I couldn't be happier in this guitar's price range.

sell all your FX and buy a decent tube amp, then learn to work those 4 knobs while playing.... that's classic rock and blues

D

Those 4 knobs are amazing... I don't need to sell my pedals but I ser your point... There is an amazing video by Joe Bonamassa about changing the tone, cleaning, driving the guitar with no fx... all about the knobs...

D

And I agree with you, I need a really good tube amp indeed...

you know, I saw that video and I was like "doesn't everybody know about this?"

Excelent

I am a beginer and on the very beginning it was the perfect choice to learn how to use and setup the effects. It's very easy to use and delivers so much more than I need. Some professionals use it live, but I think it is best for study. I am building my pedalboard at the moment. So probably I will sell my ME80 and I hope it will be so usefull to somebody as it was to me.

if you are learning open chords and major/minor scales what do you need with effets, that's a distraction fro proficiency. When I was a kid .... well, there were no mltiFX ubits dude and we all got hella good.

D

I am a beginner but know a few number of chords... I am studing riffs and solos... I want to get the closest I can get to the sound of my idols... tecnicaly speaking... but I love pedals.... so why not learn both... :) I agree with you, but I am a beginner looking foward to became a intermediate... so... I study both aspects

kill your heroes and hit the woodshed, become a guitar hero in your own right and be yourself... the world is full of imitators but precious few originals...

not that I can't cop a mean Ronson, Townshend, Page, Becker, etc etc etc (ad nauseum), but I learned to play as me first

Classic

There are many delay options on the market, some with different tone and configurations. As most of my idols used to or still have it, I bought myself one and I couldn't be happier.

The perfect combination with my Fulltone Octafuzz OF-2

It's a must have pedal. TS9 by itself is an amazing pedal. But I use it right after my OF-2 and this combination is perfect to my ears. Blues, blues, blues!

yes, everyone needs to own a TS9 for at least 2 years

D

I think mine will be on my pedalboard forever. Maybe one day I'll try something ele, but I think I'll never give away my TS9.

Love it!

So blues, so Gary Clark Jr! I couldn't be happier with it!
