Dude... great playing! Like the tone, the phrasing, the alternate picking (y)

Would like to pick up a Soldano Astro and a Ground Zero amp if he ends up making a smaller headshell 50 watt. Wish the Soldano had a reactive load. Oh well. Also, would like to pick up the new Ibanez AZ prestige in sodalite. I have a AZ prestige in flat white that I got from Ibanezrules...

Michael Nielsen just posted a 35 watt vs 50 watt Ecstasy video: Still hoping Blake Mansfield gets one on his channel. He just did a video on the MGL100 which is cool. Hoping to hear his thoughts on the 50 watt Ecstasy. I remember him liking the 35 watt Ecstasy, but he mentioned it sounded a...

I like the smoother Taurus look more too. Side note: I'm curious to see if Mesa this year will make their own version of the IR-X maybe even with a graphic eq.

I have a similar feeling. I'm intrigued by this amp, but I use my fx loop a lot. I don't use reverb or long delays much, but I pretty much always have a short delay on for solos. Also, I like a 2nd master volume option either footswitchable or in the form of putting an EQ or clean boost in the...

Pretty cool video that popped up on my yt feed. Glad to see there's some real solid craftsmanship and a care to detail behind those Suhr SL amps

I did! They actually just arrived recently. Long story short, it'll probably be mid to late January before I get a chance to try them out. Been having to pull long hours at work this holiday season and have to go record an EP next week so most of my energies are directed towards that. I haven't...

I know it's more of a Klon style pedal, but has anyone tried the new Origin Effect Halcyon Gold? I've heard a ton of positive reviews about their Revival Drive pedals, but very little on their overdrives.

Nice! I can't imagine anyone hating that CAE wah. In fact, on Sweetwater it has a 4.8/5 star average with 50+ reviews which I feel like is an indicator. Let us know what you think! Will do! Been unfortunately super busy, but hope to open it up and give it a whirl after I get through my next gig...

Awesome! Good to hear. I feel like so many of the demos of the Dig sound great, but never focus on high gain. Instead they rely on showing ambient clean stuff. That's something I always find challenging about guitars. You can play one that sounds and feels great in a store and then order the...

Lots of praise in this thread for the Crybaby from Hell Dimebag wah and I have to agree... One of my friends in college who I played in a band with had the Dimebag wah and he to this day has the best wah tone I've ever heard live. I play metal (anything from 80s to more modern stuff) and the...

Now I haven't tried either of these distortion pedals yet, but I feel like 2 that I have been hearing a ton of positive on this past year have been the KSR Ceres and the Lichtlaerm Gehenna. Ultimatemetalguitartones posted a clip of the KSR Ceres a couple months ago that sounds quite solid...

Hey no prob. I wanted to let you know I went ahead and ordered the King in Yellow and their Key and the Gate. I'll let you know how they are ?

Hey no prob. And I totally get it with the cables. I'm still in the middle of building my fly rig with the IR-X and have pedals and cables strewn about everywhere. I'll look forward to the video when you get a chance. Cheers!

Hi there, I have a Sentry noise gate as well and use it in 4 cable method. I found this video quite helpful: What's nice is with this set up everything is silent until a note is played.

I quite enjoyed the Boss and the Dig. Not sure about the Neon Egg Planetarium. Can I ask, do you like the Dig for high gain sounds? Other than Leon Todd's Dig video I haven't seen many vids of the Dig in a metal context.

That Exmortus guitarist is great. Got to play with them and Paladin this past spring in Vancouver. It was my first time seeing them live and both he and the other lead guitarist can shred like crazy. Agreed! I rarely see Lollars in a metal context. I looked up the high wind Imperials just out...

Hi Mike, thanks again for the response. You'll have to pardon my ignorance, but after watching the Friedman tonetalk on youtube and going thru the IR-X main thread on thegearpage forums I thought the only way to maintain the stereo signal was by putting stereo effects after the balanced out. I...

Thanks for the detailed post on your thoughts and experiences with the unit so far! I appreciate the tips on what's worked out well. Just picked up one myself to build a fun fly rig when I can't have my amp. Can I ask, if I wanted to go stereo to FOH could I just run a stereo effect like the...

Nice! Glad to hear about the low end response and lack of hiss. And yes, please let us know how the Captor X sounds with it (y)
