Line 6 Tone Core Verbzilla

["Monica Lokisdottir" <decadence@excite.com>]

Reptilian Guitar Diva here with yet another
unasked for low-tech gear review...
Line 6 ToneCore Verbzilla.

I have to say that I was at once simultaneously 
totally unimpressed and underwhelmed with part of this
thing - yet at the same time equally far out groovin'
on the rest. IMHO this pedal somehow manages to at once
totally suck and totally rule. Here's why:

The unimpressive:
Just another inferior budget version of plate/gate/hall/tiles/
etc.studio set up + some reverbs and delays - which are canned
and seem to me yet another cheap Lexicon imitation. 
This sucks. Get Lexicon. These parts of this pedal are just
totally lame and the reverbs and delays are cheap knock-offs of
the usual standards and nothing to write home about.  
La de da....yawn... 


The impressive:
Despite the overall lameness factors, at the same time,
playing around with the controls, you can get some very 
far out cool and unexpected tone capabilities that are 
very surprising, innovative and amazing and perfect for 
music like prog/experimental/ambient/looping etc. 
Good trails and space/canyon/suspense futurist types of 
tones and effects that are totally wild and cool and 
great kicks. So especially if you can get a deal on one,
as I did, I would then say definitely go for it you will
definitely enhance your overall tonal bliss. 

Monica
