It sounds like it. Do they have the right extensions (i.e. are they really of the file type as indicated by their extensions)?

Cute!

I respectfully disagree - well, as far as my 1930's Regal is concerned. It's got a unique, addictive raw sound to its 3 & 4 strings which I can't g ...

Have you tried playing it through a different mp3 player on the same machine?

Good advice from Frank. The additional advantage of the pedal is that you've got 16 different mic sounds to choose from. If you play in different venues where each has its own acoustic traits, that's ...
