    Digitech Drop tune pedal.. how accurate?

    Works great for live use for the reasons mentioned above. I do notice it kills just a bit of presence in my rig, but it’s WAY worth it to avoid a guitar in a separate tuning.

    Dan Huff on an EVH tone detail and other ramblings (like how much bass in guitar tone)

    I watched the whole thing- fascinating. All of those studio guys (Lukather, Huff, Carlton, etc.) have one thing in common- taste. Play for the song, not your ego.

    The cost of living is actually pretty decent here.

    No way that house is $670k. Maybe half that. Source: I live near Cleveland

    Help me load my 4x12

    I liked a greenback/ V30 mix with my SLO 30. The Scumback/ greenback combo could be interesting.

    Favorite pedal you currently use

    I recently got a Chase Tone Secret Pre, and it's my always-on pedal now. It's the preamp circuit of an old Echoplex, and it makes everything sound bigger/ better. I have it set to add just a bit of boost (maybe a db or two) for a little compression. It's killer into my QuickRod.

    NGD: Steve Stevens Classic

    So, an update...I took it to rehearsal last night. Basic rig was the SSC, my Splawn QuickRod, and an EVH 2x12 with a Scumback M75/ BM75 mix. Normally in 1st gear with either OD2 or an Elements OD kicked on for more gain. For context we cover classic rock, 80's, hair bands, dance, modern...

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Splawn Quickrod would fit the bill.

    NGD: Steve Stevens Classic

    It’s very much in the LP camp, but compared to my Traditional it’s more balanced sounding and clear. The SSC just sounds huge. More ergonomic than a LP for sure, especially in the upper frets. Overall I’d say it’s an idealized LP.

    NGD: Steve Stevens Classic

    Dunno how long it was for sale (ad was from Jan 2023) but it’s amazing. Folks were missing out on a deal. Agreed on the difference compared to a regular Kenai. Acoustically the SSC is bigger and meatier sounding. The Steckel was too. Could be the extra body thickness and bigger neck in addition...

    NGD: Steve Stevens Classic

    Just arrived yesterday courtesy of a TGP member. What a guitar! Very balanced sounding overall with killer sustain. Fit and finish are impeccable. The custom wound Bareknuckles are clear, warm, and super articulate. Perfect match for the guitar- for once I'm not gonna change anything except...

    NGD - Chubtone

    Sweet! I'm def considering a Chubtone as my next guitar. I'm not a hard core shredder but love the vibe.

    Best attenuator for attenuation only?

    Yup. Love mine. The bonus is the foot switchable solo function. It's great for live use.

    Peavey Wolfgang lower output pickups?

    I can see that spec-wise. I've never used that Duncan so I can't say, but the Jalen is killer.

    Peavey Wolfgang lower output pickups?

    I swapped a Jalen Fair Warning into my Wolfgang Special and could not be happier. While it's hot based on the specs (15.5k) it doesn't act like a hot pickup.The mismatched coils and roughcast A5 mag really lean it more towards a vintage vibe. It's a really clear, articulate pickup with nice...
