They don’t call it a Megatar for nothing! Just for comparison’s sake, here’s it next to my old bass axe.
This thing is bigger than my torso.
I’ve messed around with it a little bit last night and I think I’ve figured out how to play most of Elephant Talk. I was going from a tab arranged for 4-string bass and had to try and reverse engineer how it would work on a 12-string tapper.
My masterplan for getting the X3 pod met a snag when I noticed that input 2 was an XLR jack instead of the 1/4″ that I was expecting. I’ve ordered an adapter and when it gets here, I’ll record some things to show it off.
