I like Timmons' playing, but, except for whatever wah was being used and the lower volume, I think Eric's playing sounded great, and I prefer the less-effected tone. 8)
Imagine if the goodbye was posted at HC a few months ago. :D
But I think forums can mean a lot more to some people than others for various reasons, and taking a break sounds like a good idea IMO if health issues need to be addressed and if it might be difficult to control spending based on...
I liked one I played at the GC in Tulsa a couple weeks ago, though after playing a few seconds I noticed further up the neck it appeared someone either spilled a bit of milkshake on the neck -- or perhaps something else. A few days ago I saw the guitar again and that it still wasn't cleaned up...
I love Peavey amps, but if you might end up spending much on a 412, it may be worth considering whether more options for possibly even a better amp head first and either a cheaper used but good 412 or saving up for a more expensive one later and see if you'd be happy enough with the Engl cab...
I owned an Ultra Plus for years, a 5150 for something like a couple years, and now a 6505+ (maybe for a couple years so far).
I liked the Ultra Plus a lot, and it had plenty of gain though a "clean" but thin-ish sterile clean -- very similar to what I get with the Rockmaster preamp and Classic...
I've heard many more recordings of the oldschool amps that I prefer. And if I remember correctly, theFyn at HCAF had a III but has been having much better clips with his 6505+ in a mix IMO. I'm happy with the rock tones I get by just rolling the guitar volume down, but my complaint would be...
I think any modeling, profiling, etc. unit gets scrutinized (often enough a bit too much) because of claims of being acurate representations of real amps, and the more realistic one is claimed to be the more scrutiny it will attract IMO. And with the Axe there is also the perception of some of...
Yeah, I thought the guy doing the video took that well. It's possible he may have played something more on the guitar if the rep didn't just go all asshole on him. I guess the guy running the booth may have been burned out by the point this was recorded.
But if I know someone's recording...
If he was playing Epicloud mainly, I haven't seen him play music from that disc and won't try to defend it (the Kingdom remake is the only song I really like on it, myself), but his music is kind of like Zappa's in the sense there's going to be humor involved, sometimes crude. His much heavier...
I can't speak for that pedal, but I was just trying my SD-1 a couple days ago and noticed it affecting the sound a bit when off and then switched in my Ibanez TS-10 where it is not noticeable. It may be worth trying each single pedal plugged into the amp and then plugging in directly one after...
I have the Schecter Damien Elite 7 that I got for under $500 at a pawn, and it's a decent guitar with a mahogony body, EMG's, and string-through body. My only complaint is the nut/strings at the not are slotted just a little high so that the overall action is a little higher than it needs to be...
That. I love Trouble's older music, and I like the different types of tones used even though I also like a lot of tight modern high gain, as well. 8)
I love some good technical playing such as by Al DiMeola, Paul Gilbert, Cacophony, Protest the Hero, etc., but I can get just as much into...
It's not for everyone, and I didn't like them when I first heard their first disc. But they don't seem to be trying to be taken seriously regarding the stage act, etc... Just having fun. And the band would probably appreciate the Scoobie reference. :D
