As you can see we are doing a "Guitar Center" tour this time around. If anyone from the JEMSITE comes out to the truck and introduces yourself to me as being from the JEMSITE, I will give you a "special gift" from Digitech. ;-)

Make sure you check back for the tour dates in Reno and California for the next run. My band will be joining me on the truck!!!

Wow, so I met up with Rikk.
VERY nice guy. I pull into the GC lot and there is a full sized trailer occupying one end of it, and it looks like a small concert venue with some very nice PA equipment cranking Rikk's and another band's music (their name escapes me, but they sounded great)
Anyway, I see Rikk in the back doing something so I yell at him. "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKK!"
He turns around with a big smile, we introduce ourselves and then he invites me into the Digitruck. This place is layed out like a musician's wet dream. Racks of goodies and then i behold the scarab Ibanez he tours with, pics don't do it justice. VERY nice axe!
Anyway we start talking and BS'ing and next thing I know he's up on stage. He opens up with a song that, sadly, isn't on any CD yet. But great nonetheless. He goes into his Digitech clinician mode and proceeded to impress me considering he was using mainly his Digitech 1101 and the thing sounded great through tha PA, and that was all he ran, the digi and the PA from his guitar (plus backing tracks of course) bot the tone was damn nice, great clarity and it didn't sound like a direct signal. definitely made me wanna spend some time with one to see what it could do, if nothing more than ease of setup. Anyway, he snagged me a couple T-shirts and a REALLY nice giveaway item that I won't spoil for anyone else, but I'm already scheming on how to integrate it into my rack.

Pics on the way, I snapped a couple with my crackberry.

Anyway, go see the DIGITRUCK, go meet Rikk, you could'nt ask to meet a nicer guy!

Right on. Yeah that one is gonna be a different kind of show.... lol Apparently its like a "mini-NAMM". We rent a hotel room and they clear all the furniture out of the room and open the adjacent doors between all the other company's rooms and we have a little presentation. Then we will direct people down to the truck where the Travis Larson Band and one other band will be performing on stage. (I think I get stuck in the little hotel room.....) :-(
