To pile in on the Spider (I use one sometimes in my band's jam room rather than bring my own stuff), I really dislike how the EQ controls "reset" and a random effect will be added when changing to another amp model, always thought that was a really bad design choice.

Thanks very much for checking it out!

What would be awesome would be if Yngwie ditched his home studio/DIY setup he always uses and got together with a marquee producer who might reign him in and bring way more focus to an album. Someone like Bob Rock or Rick Rubin etc would be good, plus put together a crack band of amazing players...

Cool note choice there, I always think TOO many weird notes is unlistenable after a bit, but just a few thrown in there grabs the ear nicely.

Used the free Fluff 5153 and Ignite amp plugins for the rhythm and my Kemper Soldano profile for the leads. Got a few other songs on there too, let me know what you think!

https://soundcloud.com/michaelthompson1985/hive-mind Used Reaper, Ignite Emissary (Great amp sim), Steven Slate Drums and the onboard EQ, reverb and compression. Let me know what you think!

Hi, I've been experiencing big tuning problems with my Suhr Modern. If I use the Gotoh whammy bar and dive it the notes go very sharp but if I physically bend a note past a tone it tends to go very flat. This is happening on every string no matter how much I stretch them out. I have the trem...

The JST SSV is nice, but it can sound a bit "single coil-y"; what p/u do you think would work well with the SSH+ in the bridge? Going for a more liquid, creamy sound. Thanks!

Recently bought a JMP-1 exclusively for my amp sounds and I want to now use the GSP for effects. How do I hook these up, so for example Channel 1 is a straight unaffected clean sound and Channel 2 is clean, but with effects from the GSP? I'll be using a Behringer FCB to switch everything too...

I've seen a few videos recently where he's discussing his tone and how he's using the 1 and 3 on stage and how his new Legacy pedal gets the sound of the 1 and 3 very accurately. What happened with the 2? I assume he designed it, so why doesn't he use it does anyone know?

It was floating but never added much benefit in the up-pull and I must say the playability and sustain has increased a bit, or at least it FEELS like it has! I blocked it by just screwing the trem to the body tighter, so can still divebomb. Has anyone else had similar results on their Suhr or...

Obviously back in the day they were used to drive amps harder and get more gain, but now every amp from practice amps, to valve heads, to modelers have heaps of gain on tap. Obviously a lot of people love EMGs etc... but I just think what are they doing tone-wise, now that amps don't really...

I was wondering if anyone has used these, then gone onto something else like Monster/Lava etc... and noticed a big difference? Mainly because I'm of the opinion that once you get a quality cable from a reputable manufacturer then that's your cables sorted and anything else more expensive...

https://soundcloud.com/michaelthompson1985 Check them out and tell me what you think - the new one "Quality Time" is all done with just one cheap Fender acoustic too. Thanks!

I've been putting those little packs of silica gel you get in Dunlop strings in my guitar case in the hope of keeping my strings and hardware fresher longer seeing as the idea is they pick up all the moisture that could cause rust. Think there's anything in this theory, or does anyone else do this?

Got the SSH+ and SSV in the bridge and neck and I really like them, but we know what we're like with our GAS problems, so if I was looking for some new ones, what do you think I should go for? Something medium gain with a lot of clarity for the bridge and something nice and plummy and round...

Saw some pics of Eddie's fav Marshall and wall of Marshalls in loads of other pics etc... from back in the day, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the setup with the amps was? I suppose he wouldn't have taken his fav on the road so would every amp be variac'd live? Was the wall of cabs a...

Can't really work it out, or am i being stupid? If the string vibration is getting amplified through the pickups through a magnet how is the tone of the body/neck wood contributing to that? Is the pickup "hearing" the tone of the woods? Thanks, just thought I'd ask! Mike

Using a GSP1101 for all my tones which has been great, but I'd like to step it up a bit in the effects quality dept and also get a nice valve pre for my main sound now. I play in a few covers/function bands so need versatility mainly. Thinking of something like a JMP or an ADA for the pre and...

They're a pain to install and can even ruin guitars, so if you feel you need your strap more secure why not use those cheaper plastic circular things you see at music store counters usually or, better yet, those rubber beer bottle stoppers?! In all my time of gigging, I've never needed to take...
