skempf9 « T.Bonne versatile guitar, but fragile »
Published on 02/23/12 at 13:55Les Paul type guitar, made in United States.
Mahogany body, flamed maple table
Mahogany neck, Ebony + carbon fiber inlays.
Pickups: Burstbucker P90 + + piezo
Robot tuning (automatic tuning) + modeling of electronic sounds by mixing sounds of three microphones
Rechargeable battery incorporated (no batteries), can recharge during play
High-end finishes, delivered in the name box of the guitar.
UTILIZATION
The guitar is very enjoyable to play, easy access to acute, sensitive and responsive touch. It is light enough for an LP.
There are a multitude of possible sounds settings, which mix finely and electronic signals from the three types of microphones present on the guitar. These settings are accessed via a dial on the electronic guitar, configurable using a computer and a dedicated firewire interface.
Simulates the guitar sound of dozens of types of guitars by switching the selector, very quickly.
It should however be an adjustment period large enough to discover all the subtleties / possibilities of this guitar.
Gadget that will not please purists, but that suits me well: automatic tuning ... I have not bought this guitar for that, but I got taste pretty quickly ... the guitar fits in 3 seconds, and you can choose between many different tunings ... Live too cool, it lets you play a piece of stones and just 3 seconds after rembrayer on a classic tune without 2 guitars ... SUPERCOOL, especially in small cafés or was not much room to put full of gear.
SOUNDS
We obtain virtually all types of sounds with this guitar, acoustic to death metal, playing with the switch, making it an extremely versatile guitar. Like all LP, mahogany and ebony fingerboard gives sustain madness, and flamed maple top brings a warmth characteristic of LP that users are familiar.
I play with a VOX VT100 modeling, which allows me to be perfect all-rounder also output. I was considering buying a MesaBoogie LoneStar Special to get a better crunch and clear sound (already tr! S good with vox, note ...)
Sounds the least friendly are those from the piezo logically, clearly not at an acoustic electric guitar, or even models like the series hybrid electric LGXT Godin, whose acoustic sound is much more accurate ... Moreover, there is no setting on the preamp with Darkfire (basic / medium / treble / volume) as the Godins, but a single volume pot, much less flexible to use. In short, I do not is almost at hand to record a quick acoustic riff for a component without going all the stuff making its ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use the guitar for 6/8 months, and my opinion is shared:
-On the visual appearance, functionality and sound I would say the guitar is very successful.
On-the ergonomics, and connectivity computer I'd say it's way: the system is far from intuitive, and it must bone up the manual to understand how it works. Provide a LOT of time, eager to retreat.
-On reliability, I'd say the guitar is VERY fragile ... I had a lot of problems with bad contacts, particularly at the stereo output of which a portion of the signal was cut. generally unacceptable for a product in this range.
On-the price, I would say it is high, but for a Gibson LP United States is in the range ... One might almost say that for the same price, you have a LP standard, without the functionality of the DF, so why deny it?
Note: the firmware (the firmware for friends ...) of the DF is rotten. It is upgradeable to the following model of the range of robotic guitars, the DuskTiger ... I did the upgrade in the first hours of use because the interface is much better in this version of firmware, I recommend it to all ... Moreover, Gibson tolerate the practice, and the same documents ... Not affect the Service.
To conclude, it is a good guitar-road, with a good grain, easy to play, and with features that allow it to shine on stage and in studio, it suits me well.
Voilou!
