Nice guitar for the money!!
I've been playing the Oscar Schmidt OG10 purpleburst for a couple of weeks. I've enjoyed it very much so far. I have small hands and haven't played acoustic since the late 90's, so I'm still getting used to it. I actually took it to my local Guitar Center to have the action lowered slightly, which helped a little. Still, it was acceptable right out of the box, and easier to play than an old Yamaha I had in the late 90's that cost me around $300 back then. My comfort with it is coming along and I'm starting to be able to play bits of the Steve Howe ragtime tunes that I used to know well but haven't played in a long time. It will take a little more time but I'm sure I will get much more comfortable with it after a few months, get my strength back and develop tougher calluses.
Re: the intonation, I would give it a 4 out of 5, which is pretty darn good for a guitar this inexpensive, IMO. The tuners aren't great - there is a little play in them, but they keep the guitar in tune, which is the main thing of course.
As far as the sound goes, I was afraid that, as with many thinner acoustics, especially cheaper ones, that it would sound very boxy and flat. Right out of the box I was pleasantly surprised with it. Especially with the right pick, it has decent brightness and a halfway decent midrange. It actually had a little complexity going for it in the mids - not tons like a nice Taylor or Martin, but again, a little more than I thought it would.
The bass response is also better than I thought it would be. It's not as big as a thicker guitar obviously, but it's pretty decent. I replaced the stock bridge pins with D'Andreas brass bridge pins with abalone inlays (which don't look quite as nice in real life as in the pictures, but still look okay). Some people say that they think these bridge pins help the sound, others say it doesn't make any difference. To me, it actually did add just a tad more complexity to the mids and a hair more brightness to the highs.
I probably would've gone with a guitar that was maybe an inch thicker to get slightly more bass and more complex mids, but anything bigger would hurt my right arm and shoulder, which is why I was looking for an acoustic that wasn't very thin, but a little thinner and less wide than a dreadnought or some grand concerts.
I've played the OG-10 through my Alesis I02 interface into my stereo speakers and the electronics work well and have good variation with the eq controls. I don't it expect it to sound as great as a $1000 Taylor and I'm really not an acoustic aficionado, but I've been playing guitar since I was a teen (I'm 56) and it sounds fine to me.
Re: the looks, purple is my favorite color and I absolutely love the way the guitar looks. Is it as high a quality paint job as you'd get on a $1000 guitar? Again, no, not surprisingly, but it's still really sweet looking.
So, all in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. I've read some reviews on Amazon where people complained about some buzzing/set up issues. Obviously, it's a little more hit and miss with inexpensive guitars in the quality control department, but even $2000 guitars can have set up issues. Wood shifts due to weather conditions, the guitar being knocked around in transit or what have you - it's just the nature of the beast. Actually though, re: the packaging, it was very well packed, which I greatly appreciated. So, thankfully, this guitar is working out for me and I am well pleased. Now I've just gotta practice my balls off, but it will be a labor of love. I'm sure it will help my electric playing as well.

Rick Wakeman in a Box?
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich Overall, this is a great pedal, IMO. It's much fun, which is my bottom line. The 2 auto-wah modes are okay, not great but serviceable. Definitely not as organic sounding or full range as say, one of the Electro Harmonix auto wahs. However, the 4 synth modes make up for the just okay auto wahs. Granted, you can't use this for every song, but when cosmic Keith Emerson/Rick Wakeman Moog sounds are called for, this definitely gets you in the ball park.
The synth modes are mono, but power chords do translate well and even fuller chords come through to a point, depending on how whacky the chord (it seems to do better with Major 3rds as opposed to Minor 3rds). So, this a unique gizmo for a very fair price. You can get synth stompboxes that do more, but they normally go for alot more bucks, minimum $100 more, usually more than that.
My only concern is that I had a Digitech Synth Wah before and it stopped passing the straight signal one day. It wasn't worth it to have it repaired, so, I figured I'd just buy another one. I've had problems with some Digitech stuff before. I don't think they make the most solidly made fx units, but they make some cool stuff. I wish they'd make the old RP-14 (with a real tube), but that literally smoked and sparked on stage one night many years ago!!!
Also, I bought one the little multi-fx units about a year ago, the RP 255 I think, and it stopped working after a few months. So, we'll see how long this one lasts. If this box farts after a relatively short time, I might consider the Pigtronix Mothership, but that's alot of bucks. Also, if this farts out after a short time, I think I'll have to pass on Digitech from then on. But, I hope not, as this pedal is alot of fun and does things that none of my other pedals do.

Can't stop playing it!!!!
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I no longer play in bands due to health problems so I only play at home in my apartment. So, I cannot comment on playing this unit at band room or concert levels. Noise-wise, it doesn't seem any worse than any of my other distortions - maybe a bit better, but again, that's at living-room volume.
I think the Tonebone Hot British pedal is a very good attempt at recreating that classic 70's Marshall/British sound. I've tried several units from other companies that try to emulate the British sound and the TB Hot British is as good or better than the ones I've tried.
I've tried the Mooer Crunch, Wampler Plextortion, Tech 21 Hot Rod Plexi and Carl Martin Plexitone. The Mooer Crunch has a nice basic sound but not quite enough high end for me and little tweakability.
The Wampler has a slightly more real and dynamic sound compared with the HB, but the HB has a little more gain, tweakability and high end on tap.
The Tech 21 was very amp-like but not enough gain or high end for me. it also had a weird hump in the low end that I've occasionally encountered with old Fender amps, and I couldn't tweak it out of the sound.
The Carl Martin Plexitone has a decent basic tone but is weak in the mids and high mids, which you need to get that British sound. So, to my ears, it sounds too flat.
Frankly, IMO, if you want a real Marshal sound just buy a Marshall. If you don't have $700 for a Marshall DSL 40C 1 x 12 combo (or more money for a bigger amp), then I would say that the Tonebone Hot British pedal is worth checking out. For live performance the Plexitube with two channels (with individual volume and contour controls) might be cool.
So, the TB Hot British has found a permanent place on my living room pedal board. It can do everything from an almost clean boost with just a little breakup (if you have weaker pickups like on a Strat, a clean boost might be possible) to late 70's/early 80's Metal (i.e., Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden). It does not do extreme death Metal, but that's not what it was designed to do..
The only thing I don't like about the TB Hot British is that it takes up a lot of pedal board real estate, but what can ya do?
