    New Jackson USA Series

    I have a 2015 King. It has speed neck profile and small frets (odd considering Randy liked small frets and not on the RR1) Feels killer with that flatter profile than the RR.

    New Jackson USA Series

    Another thing I find interesting is the placement of the truss rod adjustment wheel, which I’m a big fan of. Then they put luminlay, also big fan. It’s like they took the cool things from an $1100 Charvel made in Mexico (killer bang for the buck) but did away with body and head stock binding, no...

    New Jackson USA Series

    So today Jackson announced their new SL3 USA soloist. Looks great. Soooo we now have MIJ and what appears to be a “stripped down” USA- for the same price? My understanding is this is where the made in Japan line fills the void between the pro series and all out USA line starting at $4500ish. I...

    Difference between EVH Stealth and EVH 5150 III 50 watt

    Simply put the Stealth has a much more aggressive blue channel. The red channels on both are pretty comparable to one another. At lower volumes you’ll find yourself wanting to possibly add an overdrive on either. 5150’s are typically not “bedroom volume” friendly unless you run through a Captor...

    Getting a DI signal

    Hey Ross you guys are the best and I did receive your DM. It seems like it’s more of an interface routing so I’m going to look into that and then follow your suggestions. Thanks so much!

    Getting a DI signal

    I have indeed. In theory the track intended for DI should be a straight dry signal and it still comes through as “wet”. I’m almost thinking it’s something in the Black Lion interface I/O routing ??

    Getting a DI signal

    Set up: EVH head into Captor X into Black Lion Revolution 2x2 interface. DAW: Presonus Studio One Professional 5. Loving the tones coming from the amp and Two Notes IR’s for recording. But: I cannot figure out to have the “wet” signal and straight/clean DI track to separate. I call up an IR...

    Is it worth to give 1000$+ for an Indonisian or MIM guitar ? Remember the past !!

    I posted a similar thread regarding inflated used prices recently. A lot of it is yes, inflation. Shipping and availability delays is another factor. A lot of it is also unrealistic ambition. Two years ago I bought three used made in Japan Ibanez prestige guitars all for under a grand. Same...

    Delay pedal choices

    Recently ditching the digital world and returning to pedals and switching through voodoo labs PX8 system. Love the back to traditional tube heads meets technology approach. Have always been a fan of MXR Carbon Copy or the TC electronics delay pedals. Looking to experiment. Or I’ll just stick...

    Inflated used prices coming down?

    Did 10 years in retail and agree 100% sir. If people stop feeding the machine those prices will come back down to realistic numbers. It’s not only the law of economics, but headed for another recession and the holidays people will think-hopefully- about listing their gear at ridiculous prices
