Are you looking for an amp for live or home? I do have a lot of amps, mostly Marshall flavors, but I have an Engl SE, had the powerball, also have a Mesa rig and had the 5150 before all of this. I love modern metal too, but when I record I go direct and use sims. It's just easier and more...

I believe Steve Vai's tech had a short video or picture and description of his solutions for Steve. In short, I believe he put pipe cleaners in the springs and then stuffed the cavity with Kleenex. I imagine the Kleenex would be sufficient.

Agreed! This was my least favorite song on Rising Force, because Jeff just sounded meh on the vox. Hearing the solos though, man, right back to my childhood bedroom as 14 year old me followed along with the tab book. Yngwie was SO lyrical in his prime years. I still get that same feeling...

For those that go to the AXE that still have your old amps, is it easy to go back to them? What I mean is, when I had my ADA MP1 rig going, that was like butter to play. Going from that to a head, was hard, it took a few days of woodshedding to get back to shape. Then, jumping back on the ADA...

Reaper, hands down. Incredibly powerful and free for a long trial. It comes loaded with tons of add ons, delay's, reverbs, eq's, compressors, etc. The instructional videos on their site are amazing as well. Even if you don't think you will use this style of crossfade, or parallel...

I liked it better than the last two releases that he did with Doug. Those were too old school and rather boring. I thought that the best songs that they have put out since they started up again were the initial 4 song extras to the live recording in 05-06. But, this is at least a return to...

I have the same guitar! I liked Peat better, but Dystrophy has some cool moments. I feel like he was a little too grungy for my tastes on those releases. His playing on Scott Stines release is good too. Scott is another monster, along with his brother in Haji's Kitchen. Man, I can't even...

I bought this instructional from him back in 2004ish. He was way ahead of his time regarding the legato and two finger taping stuff. He inspired so many wonderful players, Scott Stine, Darryl Gable, Christian Muezner. I really like his Eniac Requiem release. It's like Dream Theater, meets...

I think for raw files, it sounds pretty spot on (surprisingly). With an eq treatment and quad tracked, that would sound killer. What interface are you using and did you DI and then reamp? I have yet to use my pre outs on my amps, I've just recorded direct and used plugins, but your clip has...

I really loved his Shrapnell stuff as well as RIP, but he lost me when he went Jpop. Having said all of that, his last release (not the live one) that had a ton of guests on it, is fantastic. I can cop a lot of guitar players, but he is one that I can never get quite right. His use of reverse...

I use EZ2 a lot and create my own tracks with it (rather than using the pre canned stuff). Even when editing the pre canned stuff, you don't have to export it? As a rule, I have the same kit, a mix of different kits (I have a few of the add on metal packs). From there, I split all of the...

Thank you!

That does sound great! I have a bunch of amps, only a slim few that I play, and even then, at bedroom levels after the kids are asleep. I've been debating about diving in, but I'm concerned with the feel of digital. In previous generations, they didn't quite have the sag right, compared to a...

If the OP likes Saigon Kick, check out Galactic Cowboys. They are the same era, early 90's, but fused hair, thrash, and lots of vocal harmonies.

I haven't checked on that neck, but ibanez wiki has the dimensions on most necks. I know that is new, so it may not be on there, but the Ibanez catalog would have the dimensions and you can then cross reference against the guitar you own on wiki. At least that's what I do, as I'm loving the...

I thought that channel two was killer. Such great 80's hair metal tones and liquid. I would take a XXX over a 5150 every day of the week.

I had an MP1 and the JMP1 at the same time, and while the Marshall was maybe a tad more organic, I felt the MP1 had a better tone. The Marshall just lacked something, though I know others have used them to great effect. As was mentioned, it doesn't hurt to try a boost, but you are going to be...

On the last tour with Zakk and Yngwie, wasn't he using the AXE? I saw the tour, but wasn't close enough to see the back line. I did see that he had the Carvin Legacy pedal on a table, but I couldn't see where it was going. His tone wasn't as good, organic/responsive, as it had been in the...

I'm happy to hear that he's back with Robert. That dude has some killer pipes. I saw him with Warrant two years ago and he killed it live; and outside of Uncle Tom's Cabin, I don't even like the band.

I am a big fan of Doug's playing, but I haven't been a fan of his singers on his solo projects, which hinders me from enjoying them. I liked Hurricane, House of Lords, and the stuff that he did with Dean C (written by someone else), but Kal and the other guy are not my favorites. I think that...
