    Is there a rackmount midi looper/phrase sampler available?

    In my rig I need a looper and a phrase sampler, but as I'm already hauling around a rack I would like to integrate everything in it, and I don't like having to connect two long cables to have the looper pedal under my feet next to my midi pedalboard. Is there something like a digitech jamman in...

    What's the final word on the Blackstar ht5?

    I know it has already been discussed, but those threads were probably made in the honeymoon phases. I've been looking for reviews but they seem to vary from extreme to extreme. Some people say it sounds like a solid state distortion pedal into a gorilla amp, while others compare it to a vintage...

    Frustrated! My pinky locks my ring finger in ascending runs

    First of all, I must say I'm no noob trying to play major scales for the first time. I've been playing for many years, and after analyzing my technique I've find a flaw. When playing ascending runs, for example 3 note per string major scale patterns with all 4 fretting fingers, I have trouble...

    Any opinions on the Blackstar Artisan 2x12 cabinet.

    A local shop has a Blackstar Artisan 2x12 cabinet loaded with v30s at a pretty good price, it actually costs much less than a comparable engl cabinet and even half a mesa one... The framus one with the removable rear panel is a little less. Is it worth it? Good for rock/metal tones?

    Drum mixing question: Drummer hitting the snare irregularly

    Well, I guess the subject is pretty OT, but it's music-related anyway and some of you guys have a lot of talent mixing... A local band has asked me to record a quick little demo for them because even though I am by no means a pro at this, I am the only person they know that somehow has some...

    Can you easily make a head out of a Mark IV combo?

    One of my Petrucci fanboy friends has found a quite interesting deal for a used Mark IV combo, but wants to imitate his idol even further and somehow make a head of it. I don't think he wants to modifiy the combo cabinet, but get a headshell from somewhere, a rackmount or whatever and put the...

    ESP Eclipse full thickness or Edwards LP?

    I think I've narrowed down my newt guitar purchase to these two. The ESP Eclipse FT will cost me nearly double the Edwards LP. Which one would you get? Which do you think is gonna take me closer to a "true" Gibson LP sound? Is the ESP that much better?

    How do you get that super-sustaining compressed lead tone?

    I mean, think Nothing else Matters, the slow lead parts over the vocals, or the long notes at the end. Sometimes I think it's feedback because it sustains for so long without any dynamics, but then it really doesn't sound like the feedback I get with my amps, metallica's is so nice, so...
