flatcat flatcat Loquacious Planeteer Registered: 07/11/01 Posts: 29211 Loc: Westborough, MA, USA	There is nothing about that guitar that appeals to me. I personally think that robot tuning is a dumb idea, but then I guess I was proved wrong. I'd never buy it personally though. For crying out loud - tune it, you know?

B# B# Planeteer Registered: 03/03/04 Posts: 5561 Loc: Concord, NC	Hiya Flat and hi to the Mrs. Hope ur doin well ! $\:\)$ Here's sum more scoop on the DF: Chameleon Tone Technology. Analog or digital, the Gibson Dark Fire gives you an infinite number of tonal possibilities to let you change the tone of the Dark Fire to match your environment. And it begins with a guitar's most basic element — the pickups. The Gibson Dark Fire combines two of Gibson's most popular pickups — the P90h in the neck position and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge position. Both are capped with new carbon fiber-like pickup covers, impeccably designed to match the Dark Fire's advanced fade. Acoustic Capability. The Dark Fire also gives you the ability to adjust and blend the acoustic sound from the piezo bridge pickup with the sound from the guitar's traditional pickups. It does this by utilizing a revolutionary rotary potentiometer which is part of the pickup selector toggle switch. By twisting the switch's head clockwise or counterclockwise, you can blend the piezo acoustic sound from zero percent acoustic sound (100 percent traditional pickups) to 100 percent acoustic sound (no traditional pickups). _________________________ MLB VS Planet radio...ROCKS MO's Music

Bat Bat Senior Planeteer Registered: 08/20/08 Posts: 2228 Loc: SL.UT	i think the deal with the automatic tuning, is that you can do drop tunings, open tunings, all with one guitar, all instantly in tune... plus the acoustic sounds.... which would be a godsend for touring players who need to cover that kind of ground, but don't want to have 4 different guitars on stage for changeovers...... _________________________ Bats Brew music https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew

I think I understand the alternate tunings now ocurr within 1 second on the Dark Fire, whereas the original Robot took as much as 15 seconds, which is a long time if ur on stage. $\:\)$ Also, since GuitarRig 3, Ableton Live, and the RIP (interface box) are bing sent with the DF, this will be a nice little intro for me on the PC, since I do absolutely no recording on the PC. As far as the specs on the PC, mine should be more than adequate to handle the music/recording apps. $\:\)$ _________________________ MLB VS Planet radio...ROCKS MO's Music
