It's a "J"...

 

I heard a newscaster speaking about Pam Bondi (the US Attorney General) being fired.  This newscaster was talking about the Department of Justice and called it "D-O-G."  I thought maybe I misunderstood, but no, she said it again during that piece.

On YouTube, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of reviews of DJI cameras and drones.  A good number of those people call it "D-G-I."  It's a "J," not a "G."  Maybe I'm being picky?

Sings like an angel...

No, not me.  The Fishman Aura Spectrum DI pedal came in today...

 I got this for less than half price, used.  It was described as "excellent condition."  They did not exaggerate - not a mark on it, it looks like new.  Came in the original box, with a CD for loading software.  A CD?  No, we don't own a computer with a CD reader.  It doesn't matter, because the software is downloadable online.  That may give you an idea of the age of this technology, the fact that it comes with a CD.  Fishman developed this modeling technology about 19 years ago, and it is still one of the best of this type being made.

It isn't a pedal, like what I generally think of: step on the pedal and get the sound you want.  This is more "set it and leave it," as long as you don't change guitars.  Or, until you want to change acoustic tones  My Emerald X10 has great tone - this pedal makes it sound bigger, richer, and more presence.  Well, based on just that guitar, there are over 100 tone options.  I tried it with a couple of my hybrid guitars - also adds a rich, more acoustic, sound.  With my parlor size Emerald X7, it sounds like a much bigger acoustic guitar.  And just as many options.  Plus, there are user "images" you can upload if you want to custom make a tone.

I spent a couple hours trying it with different guitars and amps.  It sounds great with any of my acoustic-oriented amps.  It just sounds electric with a true electric amp like my Marshall amp.  Choose wisely.

This is a good addition to my guitar options.
