Dookie was the first album that really drew me away from listening to my parent's stuff towards more hard rock. Killer album start to finish, and was actually learnable when I began playing, so it has a special place in my heart. Love the tone on this one in particular: Cheers!

Hadn't seen that vid, had a couple of points I didn't know which is cool. To say that I'm a major fan would be an understatement; I met my wife in coat check at a Big Wreck show, and now our son is named Ian in tribute to that :) I met Ian at a Suhr clinic at one of the local guitar shops, and...

I mostly lurk these days, but I remember the days of Carl, the other ultimate sh*t disturber. He went through so many account names after constantly getting banned it became hard to track who he was after a while. Not sure if he was Crimson or not, but same ballpark! Lol. That Pacino clip...

My dream OD was always something that could do both with the flick of a selector switch, but had an EQ section more like a graphic EQ than a tone knob, so you could get specific about what is being boosted or cut...I drafted a pic of it in 10 minutes using MS Paint, anybody know of a pedal like...

This came out today, thought you guys might dig too! Might need a few watches given how long it is, but cool to hear these guys just shoot the breeze. Cheers

This album made me buy a VH4 before I had to move on...this track at 1:24 still has one of my all time fav tones, although it's hard to know how much is VH4 since Marshalls and Mesas are in there too. Cheers

I had literally never heard of this pedal until this week, but it seems cool- have you ever done a variation of something like this? Slammi Pedal I haven't heard a pitch shifter that I like as much as the OG Digitech Whammy to date, but that thing is such a space hog and needs its own power...

As someone who had one for a few years before going the Kemper route for simplicity, I think one of the most important things that I learned, only after getting it, was that liking how an amp sounds in the room, versus liking how it sounds recorded, versus how it FEELS under your hands, are all...

Hey guys, still have a partscaster on my radar, and I was contemplating seeing if i could get a neck with slightly larger frets after the 12th fret, since you usually aren't playing as many chords up there. For example, having 6000 size frets 1-11, and 6100 frets 12-22. However, I wasn't sure...

Hey guys, just saw this vid, hadn't heard anything about the product but seems pretty cool. I doubt it would replace the real deal whammy bar in terms of feel, but being able to do that stuff without worrying about the strings would be cool. I would love to see what a guitar with an Evertune and...

One thing to note (just a heads up) is that I find using a pedal/effect for this purpose quite unsettling when playing at lower volumes. You and most guys on here are probably jamming or gigging at decent volumes where it likely isn't an issue. However, if you are playing at a lower volume where...

This. So much this. I've literally thrown out or given away 3 guitars because of the f***ing necks going beyond repair and being super fret-buzzy, simply from sitting on a guitar stand. Down to one electric guitar thanks to it. The Ottawa valley is brutal. Constantly torn between keeping guitars...

Assuming this means 2010-2020 and not afterwards? This song makes me think of what Loomis could do if he focused on a tasteful melodic hook rather than just going guns blazing 24/7 on his solo records. Not a huge fan of the tone, but it seems to be intentionally that way to fit his "cyber...

This one was probably my fav but there are a bunch. Cool tapping part, pedal tone part, harmonized descending part, big pinch harmonic, covers most of the bases. The early 2000s weren't great for a lot of different genres, but by the mid 2000s there were plenty of awesome guitar albums out IMO...

I know I'm in the minority, but I preferred that over both the recto clips 🤷‍♂️ Although out of all of them I liked the Morin Marshall the best! I've always had a hunch that a modded XTC might be my dream amp, but sadly will probably never find out. Seems like modding them is sacrilegious or...
