So will that Hi-Tek pre-amp switch-out with my OP-30?
S u r e, Art, just plug one in and wait for the smoke. |

Location: Jet City | Just last night I had to go back to my computer cuz I had a cool little lick I knew I'd forget (already did, I'll have to go listen to it again).
I opened up quicktime pro and hit "new audio" and played it.
It would have been VERY convenient to be able to just hit a button on my guitar, record it, then go about my biz on something else.
I think it's a great idea for that one piece. The whole lessons part and external input BS is just that to me, BS.
The recorder is a fantastic idea though IMO |

Thanks for the preview Al. |

| I like this idea!It sounds like the Rockman for acoustic guitars, surely it may be of any help for people who don't have access to studios, and anyway something to record ideas in real time is helpful to professionals as well.
A pity for the guitar, that doesn't look anything special... :( |

I like the concept as long as it's not in Beta test phase... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I see a few possibilities:
1. This probably sucks for Al's future sales of Olymous recorders, sorry Al.
2. No more excuses not to at least record an instrumental for the next CD or for your OFC social site page.
3. I wonder if this is gonna be ovation only or if it'll find it's way into other Fender products. Would be kinda cool to have on a Strat or Tele, if you ask me.
OK, let me guess ... you can't use the tuner unless you're plugged into a USB.

The local UHaul had a bunch of their old trucks on sale. I thought about buying one and loading up all my guitars and driving around to visit people like Moody. I need to spend more time doing stuff that doesn't make any sense but makes all the sense in the world. |

Location: NJ | think of it this way.
in 18 months the preamp will be reintroduced with twice the battery life twice the features and twice the memory. just like every computer product.
fender does have an item like this dave it is called the G dec amp. I had one for a while they are really cool for about an hour then you long for other musicians to jam with. |

If you are seriously going to record something you'll go for a proper recording studio or on your computer, but if you just come across a little riff or something you want to remember for later, just record it on the guitar for later. |

Kinda like what Karen said, I am not cyber-wise... :confused:
I have a Zoom G1X that I have never use cuz it is a pain to program!
[Plus I have a MicroCube that any idiot can figure-out. Just turn the knob!
Change your mind, turn the knob again... Behringer AC112, push a button and pick a number] |

| This sounds like a good idea for people who have ideas - I think I had one around '68 or '69 but I forget what it was. If only my idea had had an iDea. If you see what I mean.
And if I had one of these and I had my second good idea, when I pressed the button the battery would be flat and by the time I changed it out the idea would be..... |
