Supermodels



So I ordered the MFX supermodels for my GNX4 yesterday. Apparently, they are amazing. What the GNX4 is designed to do is allow you to simulate any amplifier and amp cabinet. (*Woosh*). Ok, I know I'm talking over the head of the 98% of you out there that are not guitarists and have never played with this thing, but it's awesome. The only problem is, there's a HUGE time investment based in creating your patches, mainly due to the fact that the amplifiers that are included with the unit are not very good. They are extremely basic, and mostly a shallow impression of a real amp, because the guys designing it had time to do that.

Enter Mike, the guy who made these supermodels.. he's an acoustic modeller who's been doing it for 25 years, and he had the equipment available to acoustically model all these amplifiers.

So I'm kind of excited. I'll let you know how they sound when I get them, but I spent a good portion of yesterday reading and they're getting only raves from the prosound community.

In addition, I purchased this : The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, 2006 (Paperback)

We're planning to go in the fall, this book apparently has some good info and pulls no punches.

For those who were watching (I got no guesses)... the movie was John Woo's Paycheck. Cheesy I know, but fun on the day off.
