Well, there seems to be currently THREE distinct discussions on the ever popular Tone Gard! OK, maybe not so distinct, after all. Including a poll, do you use one yes or no? Seems to be 56 yes to 44 no according to the results. I'm guessing 50/50 might be a little more accurate, since most people who hate Tone Gards probably didn't even click on it to participate.
My conclusion, people who like 'em really like 'em. People who don't get it, don't need 'em, and they are fine with that.
The need for more and more volume is also a mystery to me, growing up playing electric guitar in rock bands, there was no such thing as too much volume. Nobody who had a hundred watt amp ever played it on three. Certainly, the goal was to be louder than any other band, often trying to be louder than my own band members, as well! Nowadays, I rarely turn an amp past three...maybe acoustic volume is perceived differently?
Also, as I have said before, few products in the history of mankind have been blessed with this kind of customer loyalty......amazing! My dad bought Buick after Buick, so I kinda get it....
Anyway, those are this weeks findings. Looking forward to more Tone Gard threads next week!
