    Are The Scorpions and/or Uli John Roth Overrated?

    Uli is a freaking monster. I can't believe we are even having this conversation.

    Your IR experience, good/bad/ugly?

    I have had issues running my guitar direct into the front HZ input on my Apollo with it peaking the hell out of the input with just medium output pickups. In reading up on it there seems to be a lot of people who experience this and complaints about how the HZ instrument input is designed on the...

    Your IR experience, good/bad/ugly?

    So would the Fryette Power Station be a better match to a UA Apollo interface than the non ir Suhr Reactive Load?

    Finding the Right pick.. think I finally got it!

    Pick can not get hung up on the string. Playing guitar is hard enough without the pick fighting you.

    Finding the Right pick.. think I finally got it!

    Dunlop Flow .73mm. I was a Tortex Jazz 1.14 guy forever, probably 30 years and then went down to a .88. Once I tried the Flow .73 I am finished looking. It has the most perfect click sound it makes while striking the string. I love that percussive click. Some guys don't want any pick sound but...

    I was already to buy this until

    I don't even know what is going on here anymore. We can't wear tan pants. We can't get metal.

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    Yeah, when Jose died there were about 25 - 30 old Marshalls sitting there waiting to be modded and none of those guys got their amps back.

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    No goop. No drama. No missing amps back then. Mark is not an electrical engineer. What he is is a fantastic guitar player with a really killer, aggressive attack and he has a phenomenal ear and can dial in an amp in seconds. None of those skills are taught in engineering school. Before I come...

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    I used to sit with Mark in his living room while he modded my amp. This would have been in the late 90's or very early 2000's. It was like $250 or so for the mods I wanted which were basically the Low Gain Jose. A modded amp of his was $800-1200 depending on if it was a later amp or an old Super...

    Looks like Chubtone is closing up shop at the end of year?

    Yes, very accurate take based on excellent reading comprehension. We are being "edged out of the competition" because one of us is retiring very financially comfortable (in So Cal no less) and the other doesn't even remotely need the money. I don't like going in to dick mode but am certainly...

    Eddie Van Halen 1978 Stage Gear Exhibit: Play It Loud Part II, The Met NYC

    Northern Ash but you will be looking at a 9.5lb guitar vs an 8.5lb guitar. And you can really feel that 1lb. Second choice is alder
