    Now this is about politics and Canada

    It's not really our call, I think that's up to England to figure out. I agree, our shit is fucked. Between the Timmigrants and the shit with the US, our government has a lot of shit to pull back together.

    Now this is about politics and Canada

    Well it's all a matter of perspective. Trump's perspective is the relationship between our countries is unbalanced. Our perspective is the relationship is balanced. So while Trump's perspective is of restoring a balance, that is perceived here as aggression. "From my point of view the Jedi are...

    Now this is about politics and Canada

    I think the difference is tone and context. Trump is acting wildly aggressive in response to threats the very existence of which are extremely controversial and divisive in the US, and his actions are inflammatory to say the least. You said it yourself, he's trolling. Well, trolling people gets...

    Fuck buds, Canada basically IS Hindus now. I don't give a fuck about Trump, he's doing his thing in his country, none of my business. What I give a fuck about is the mass immigration policy under Trudeau and what it's done to our job and housing markets. The butterheads come here specifically...

    Dimebag Guitars, Dean vs Washburn

    I think that's about as perfect as a "metal guitar" can get. Pure attitude!

    Replacing Pedals with Axe FX

    That's why I switched. My board had an ES-8 as its main switcher, with a Parallelizer in the effects loop of my IR-200, tons of MIDI connections, loops within loops, a routing nightmare. Switching to Fractal just simplified everything, it replaced thousands of dollars of hardware. I run my...

    Replacing Pedals with Axe FX

    I have an FM9 I use in a four-cable setup. I don't notice a difference using the modeled pedals versus my actual pedals. Using the Fractal to control MIDI switching is piss easy too. Hooking up my DSL100 was plug and play.

    EVH EL34 50 Watt Blue Channel - Crap or Myth? Worth C137 mod?

    The brief time I spent with an EL34 5150, I treated it like a Marshall and hit it with my SD-1. It sounded fantastic, very "boosted JCM800," but I ultimately didn't vibe with the super stiff feel the amp had, it was very compressed. I found I have more fun with a greasy Marshall.

    Now this is about politics and Canada

    I'm Canadian. The prevailing towards Americans my entire life has been "they're arrogant fat fuckin annoying retards," but with a measure of tongue-in-cheek good humor about it. In the last two months, pretty much everyone I know is saying "fuck that country and everyone in it," with no wink or...

    Little fun with the SPX90

    Symphonic is some crazy shit. I've got the Leon Todd recreation running in my main patch on my Fractal. It's not a subtle sound but man is it a tasty one.

    Solos that take you on a trip or tell a story...

    No More Tears is the first one that comes to mind, honestly. Opens with an almost Gilmour-ish slow section, then a super nasty blues rip, capping with rapid fire shred.

    Remembering Randy.

    His playing on Tribute is straight fire. I never listen to Blizzard, Tribute has every Blizzard tune and they all sound better (playing, production, even vocals).

    Looks like Pariah reverse engineered the EBMM EVH/Axis pickups......did they succeed?

    It's not a Wolfgang, that's a true Fender pickup with Fender's weird baseplate. The Franky, Franky Plus and Franky Classic are Duncan pickups. The Franky was designed for the 2004 aged Frankenstein. The Franky Plus is an overwound version. The Franky Classic is lower output. EVH only sells the...

    Page's tone at Zep's 2007 Reunion

    He played through the Orange the whole night, except during the theremin solo. I found his sound to be muddy and flubby, except for when he kicked on the SD-1 for solos (Rock and Roll is a great example).

    Looks like Pariah reverse engineered the EBMM EVH/Axis pickups......did they succeed?

    My understanding is Duncan made the IM1 to replicate the sound of their Frankenstein pickup, which could only be sold by EVH. The deal changed so now Duncan can sell the Frankenstein pickup through the Custom Shop, except for the configuration EVH sells (double black open coils). As such, the...

    Who Came Up With the VOL:10 TONE: 5 DRIVE:0 OD/Boost Settings “Standard”?

    I was surprised to learn recently that Zakk runs his OD with all three controls maxed.

    EMG GZR PJ pickups question

    You can buy solderless pots straight from EMG. Alternatively, you can use some simple molex connectors to adapt a normal pot into their harness.

    The ROCKMAN pedal from MXR

    Turns out Zakk Wylde has one of these in his Pantera rig. It's run through an MXR chorus into a pair of power amps and he uses it for his clean tone. He was using the JC-120 emulation from a Boss IR-200 but got one of these as soon as they were announced.
