This is one of the original 200 tributes run guitars they made in 1992. They were supposed to do 200 in gold hardware. They did 199 and this is the only one in chrome hardware. I had ordered a custom RR1 the year before they did these and when I spoke to them about ordering one of these but with...
That first blues lick in Mr. Crowley solo! Up until that point I had never heard that lick sound so massive. The saturation on the notes from the layering was intense. My kid brain could absolutely not figure out THAT sound. That took my knowledge of playing and sounds, etc to a higher level...
Oh shit!! Uhg.... Well hopefully the new one fixes the hum and you'll be good to go. I really wanted to hear clips.. I can only imagine how you feel! LOL
Damn Carl thats killer! I picked up a Shin-ei vibe 2 a few years ago but this one really caught my eye. Cant wait to hear the clips and hopefully a small review. Congrats!
I used a 10u non shock case when we traveled (before I could afford the shock racks) and as long as they are secure in the truck you shouldnt have any issues. Its hard bumping/tipping over that the shock racks make the difference. Just make sure the guys are careful and they are secure and ya...
Here's my take. I WANT to take a small little modeler/amp/whatever into a one 10,8, or straight in if possible. That would be kickass!! When all the modeling, flyrigs, blah blah came out I was psyched cause I didnt want the wear and tear on my tube amps..etc. Problem is there is nothing out...
Regarding mixers......
Dont forget the speed of the processor of the effects unit. I would take tone suck over drop out any time, especially in a live gig situation. There are some units (PCM42 comes to mind} that can color your sound in a positive way. There isnt any positive in dropout...
I used to think it was all horseshit about the more expensive the better the sound until I actually heard it myself in person. I was and still am pissed that I did hear a difference! LOL There are also some cables that are brighter and or darker being the same length too. Like you said, its not...
JER, If you do go for an Eclipse, you will need a mixer though. That unit is very slow to run in series. I love mine, but would not want it to be my only unit if running in series. Cant beat the sounds though. Although the H90 isnt that far off depending on your main sounds. Hell, An original...
Lxp 5 was good for what it did. Half rack. That did Chorus, Pitch. etc. Lxp 1 did verbs. Value wise they are a good deal. If you're only gonna use it sparingly an even better value is the Alex. That was like $80 and could hold its own if ya werent going balls out. I will never part with my Pcm70...
There was quite a few names that were brought up but unfortunately without anything on paper afa schematics there was really nothing to go on.
Believe me, I wanted them to pass the torch to someone who could have taken it to the next level. We also discussed the possibility of releasing the ET...
That IS the next Gen.. LOL Switchblade ET. I was friends with Ken and spoke with his family about continuing his work. Problem is he
"was" Sound Sculpture and everything was in his head. Not many schematics or notes for that matter. The ET has a USB connection on the front for updates but was...
Here is my latest setup. These are the core units I've been using for quite a while. With the Switchblade its an extremely versatile rig. I do switch heads regularly as most of this rig really shines with clean tones. This is just about a third of the rack units I have, but again, this setup...
I have a few customs and a 2004 Supreme. All have changed pups as I dont really get along with Gibson stock pups. As was mentioned, the Supreme wouldnt be my first choice for modern metal as overall the attack is just not as tight/punchy on an extreme high gain amp. For a classic R&R sound is...
If shit goes bad and you need something to play while dealing with all the BS hit me up and I'll see if I can send ya something to tie you over! I'm on the East Coast but will do my best if you're stuck. Good luck brother!
Yep. Mike did it before I even got it. I told Mark what I was looking for which was more gain that a stock 2c+ and he asked Mike if he would do it. Mark was kinda excited that Mike said yes and ordered 2. I couldnt afford 2 even at artist pricing cause I had also picked up diamond plate cabs and...
