I continue to be erect. I decided to make an EVH-style preset. It would give me a chance to test multiple effects, more amps, their channel switching functions, rack effects, complicated routing, and control layouts. This is what I came up with: Going down the chain, first up is an...

I am impressed. Very, very impressed. Actually blown away, and that's just running through the factory presets. I can only imagine what treasures await me when I dive into the software.

Yeah I have no plans of giving up my tube amps, but I am very curious to A/B them with the models.

Apparently this thing is showing up tomorrow? Damn fast shipping. This has kicked my ass in gear a bit. I've been meaning to put together a new space for my guitars and set up the monitors I bought over a year ago and haven't used. Just cleared the needed space out in the corner of my living...

This was my hesitation as well, and in fact an impetus for me to move into the analog world. But in a very Flowers For Algernon fashion, my board evolved from an SD-1 and a CE-5 to a massive MIDI-controlled space station requiring extensive programming anyway - a process made more fiddly by...

Welp, just pulled the trigger on an FM9. If it passes my sniff test the next step will be dismantling my board and selling it off.

I've got a DSL100 as well as a modded Ceriatone 2203. Your signal chain with the RL is exactly what I do right now. I am hesitant to turn my back on tube amps, since I spent decades of my life as a player dreaming of the day I could have them. But I have a sneaking suspicion the Fractal stuff...

I've seen em twice, once this tour once the Legacy of the Beast. I don't go mega deep with them so I didn't appreciate this set as much as a diehard would, but it was fucking cool regardless. Still, when they did play the classics the pit went absolutely bananas, which is how it was the entire...

A night's sleep sadly did little to quiet my GAS. I'm looking again at my board and everything involved: - Boss NS-2 - Morley 20/20 Lock Wah - Boss ES-8 - EHX Pitchfork - MXR Dyna Comp - MXR Phase 90 - MXR EVH M117 Flanger - Boss SD-1 - MXR Sugar Drive - Boss DD-8 - Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra...

I was curious about the difference between the FM9 and the III in terms of capability. What exactly can the III do that the FM9 can't?

My current rig now has over 20 pedals. With the IR-200 and the ES-8 at the center of it, it's designed so that I can run from my upfront pedals to my Marshall head, back to the IR loader with digital delay, reverb and modulation in parallel loops, while also letting me run patches using the...

It all started innocently enough and tumbled downhill from there. "That new Soldano rack unit is pretty cool!" "If I had a rack, I could have all sorts of neat stuff!" "I could do a lot having an Axe-FX in the rack with that Soldano!" "Well wait a minute, my pedalboard already has a lot of...

The strings don't move at all on the tailpiece. Remember, the tailpiece originally designed as a wraparound bridge. Being a separate tailpiece was a repurposing that came a few years later.

I've done it for 20 years, every time I try the other way I seem to bust strings faster.

I think she has a role in Alice's band... as Alice said when he hired Orianthi, "I needed a shredder." Alice is pretty smart. The 80's are in right now, so his show the last ten years or so has been very 80's heavy rather than 70s heavy, and with that comes a flashy shredder. That the flashy...

Yeah personally I would never use Gibson's solderless hookups, just because Gibson always does odd shit. And to me the appeal of a solderless system is modularity, and if you have all of the pots hardwared to one PCB you don't get that anyway. If I was for some reason determined to use a...

This is how I would do it: Marshall DSL20 -> Load box -> Boss IR-2 -> Fender Twin Reverb The IR-2 (and the 200) has multiple output options to compensate for different amps. Load it with some great 4x12 IRs, set it to 212 Tube Combo output, and the individual character of the Fender's amp and...

Gibson gonna Gibson I guess

It's not difficult to crimp a molex connector on a non-Gibson pickup. Whether it's worth it over just replacing the pots is up to you though. I like EMG's solderless system. It makes for very clean wiring, since each lead has both hot and ground. I'm designing a PCB for my Strat so I can use...

Seen her with Alice many times, great show. I saw her solo show. Musically it was just OK, but I was upfront on the barricade and I got to spend the whole night staring at her ass between her legs. She's gifted.
