The place to discuss, post photos, video, and audio of the G&L products (US instruments, stomp boxes, etc.) produced after 1991, including the amps & gear we use with them.

LOL! Pretty good. And the algorithm is very extensible with just a couple of modifications. Example: 'G&L' --> your choice of 'BMW/Jaguar/Austin Martin/Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bugatti/Triumph/Harley Davidson/Ducatti', 'sound better' --> 'go faster', 'case' --> 'garage/permanen parking space' ;-)

this should be the official sales poster that every G&L dealer should have posted in the store :happy0007:

Tim,

I studied your flow chart assiduously, I worked through it several times. Every time I came to the same answer. :o

My Daytona Yellow Fallout should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. If I get in trouble, I am blaming you. :D

Take care,

I think after the "will it make you sound better" then "no" should have additional box "Yes it will, you schmuck!"

I would change the 'skip it' box to your "Yes it will, you schmuck!" and then link the box directly to "Buy It!".

In fact, having just Friday belatedly purchased what I hope will become my first G&L, I would buy the poster if the above change was made.

If you need to ask, the answer is "YES."

Might also add in my case "Do you have space for it?" and if answer is "no" leads to action box: "Make space". I love my new tribute Comanche so much I ought to be arrested....

Significant Other Tip -- if it is in the same kind of case as other G&Ls it might not be discovered.

Thus, yet another reason to buy more G&Ls... the camouflage effect...

I think after "will it make you sound better"... (and the NO answer...) should be... "did you tune it?"
