    Volume jumps using my rack. Help?

    I use a GSP1101 with a Velocity 300 through a Marshall 2x12 for my stage setup and I'm experiencing volume jumps when I play. If I'm recording it doesn't happen so maybe it's the power amp? Thanks!

    Prince's heyday gear?

    Does anyone know what Prince was using around his Purple Rain - Sign o' the Times era? Was it just anything that was at hand, or did he have a preferred setup around this time? Cheers!

    Instrumental stuff I've been doing

    https://soundcloud.com/michaelthompson1985 Just using a Suhr Modern into a Digitech GSP1101 pre for all tones (Including bass sim) into a Boss 8 track. Not fantastic finished quality, but good enough to be creative with! Hope you dig some of it, let me know what you think. Mike

    Minor problem with Suhr Modern HH

    Anyone else notice with the simulated "inbetween" setting on a HH Suhr that the volume dips a bit when you're on these pickup selections? It's not a huge problem since I've created louder patches on my GSP to compensate, but was always a bit of a problem when I had a "proper" amp. Anyone else...

    Those watershed moments for tone you discovered.

    I was thinking the other day about a couple of tracks that knocked me on my ass when I first heard them and just wondered who else has these (I'm sure a lot do haha). Unchained - first time I heard this I literally though my speakers were broken and didn't really understand the sound, but after...

    Richie Kotzen's Fever Dream

    What an amazing album! Does anyone have any info about what gear he was using during this time? His tone is amazing and isn't drenched in the usual Shrapnel "wall of reverb" production. Super intense soloing as well with amazing licks for someone so young at the time and that voice of course...

    AC/DC gear arrives in Vancouver

    What amps are they using? Doesn't look like stock Marshalls which is what I always thought was used

    Andy Timmons massive live tone

    What a great tone! Pretty under-appreciated band too; not the best but they had some cool tunes and a secret weapon in Timmons that's for sure! Anyone know what he was using around this time?

    Tortex Sharp plecs, who else uses them?

    They're the best of both worlds for me; sharp like a Jazz 3 for picking accuracy on single strings, but big enough to grab on to when you want to feel there's something there when you're playing rhythm. Anyone else into these? I use the white 1.5mm ones myself.

    Jeff Buckley's guitar sound

    Just thought I'd mention it really, he's got probably the best clean sound I've heard I reckon; so warm, but detailed. Check out the Grace album definitely and a song called "Everybody Here Wants You", which also features some awesome subtle playing!

    GSP 1101 vs. AxeFx 1/Ultra

    Hi, I use my GSP a lot in live situations (I play in 4 bands) and really like the sound of it, but you know us gear-heads, we covet gear like there's no tomorrow! So I was wondering if I find a cheap AxeFx 1 or an Ultra on eBAY would it be worth buying, or is the difference in tone between these...

    How bad is Kirk Hammett - let's be honest.

    Every video I've seen him featured in, whether it's on Live Shit '92 where his solo spot is unlistenable, Live Shit -Seattle where he butchers Little Wing, playing that horrendous first solo he planned out over the Unforgiven where Lars is in the background cringing his face off in Year in the...

    GSP 1101 effects loop question

    Hi, guys, just wondering if it's possbile to run a reverb pedal into the FX loop so if I'm playing in a particularly dry environment I can click on some reverb rather than changing all the presets every time. Or is there another easier way to achieve this? When I tried a reverb pedal in (What...

    What album would you love to hear the raw tracks from?

    I know there's loads on youtube ripped from GH games, but I'm talking ones that would be harder to get hold of. My vote goes for the first Blue Murder album - Syke's tone is massive but always think it could be more up front in the mix tbh so I'd love to hear the guitar on its own. Second would...

    Ibanez 540P (The ones Alex Skolnick used)

    Not a fan of Testament, just really digging the 540P lately (The ones with the reverse body), awesome shape! Anyone have any experience with these, are they good and can I pick one up in the UK fairly cheap? Thanks, Mike

    Bit of Suhr noodling on a BOSS 8-track

    Using my 10 year-old 8-track for everything, the tone isn't too bad I don't think. Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-TiRJ_o4IA

    What volume does power valve saturation occur at?

    Say on a typical Marshall 800, SLO, Boogie etc.... Does it have to be near top volume with most amps? I remember an interview with Slash saying he used to crank the vol on his Jubilees to get it happening and mentioned they were pretty much dimed. Can you get this sort of thing using a TC...

    Bit of fret buzz on my Suhr with medium/high action

    Around the 2,3,4 frets on each string pretty much, is this a job for the truss rod and if so, what do I do? I've got the action around medium/high, so nothing too low in that aspect. Thanks, Mike

    Voodu Valve vs. GSP1101

    I have a 1101, but been checking out a few clips of the Voodu and it sounds awesome. Has anyone ever had both or just any general opinions? Thanks, Mike
