    Shawn Lane appreciation thread.

    That Little Wing clip was awesome, the guy on the blue Strat played some fairly tasty stuff too! Exemplifies why Lane was SO good - even when he played fast it still sounds great and not like Michael Angelo, for example, just playing mechanically. For me, he's one of the absolute greats. The...

    Def Leppard

    That's always been their kinda thing though, so no surprise there. I saw them a few years ago with Whitesnake opening and they blew them off stage for me. Whitesnake were good, but Leppard are the best example of a band making music FOR huge shows and you can definitely tell the difference.

    EVH's Roth-era live setup?

    It's just something that I've been wondering about - basically how Ed replicated his no.1 Marshall sound in a live setting. I suppose if his no.1 was stock but variac'd, or with different transformers it wouldn't be too hard to do that with the live amps?

    EVH's Roth-era live setup?

    Saw some pics of Eddie's fav Marshall and wall of Marshalls in loads of other pics etc... from back in the day, but I was wondering if anyone knows what the setup with the amps was? I suppose he wouldn't have taken his fav on the road so would every amp be variac'd live? Was the wall of cabs a...

    Scorpions - Can't Explain

    Wow, that was AWFUL haha! The Scorpions one wasn't much better. 80's rock is my favourite genre, but when they cover older rock songs it just never works for me. Lynch Mob's "Tie Your Mother Down" is another horrible example.

    Best Pedal Tuners?

    Got the Polytune 2 black version and it's the best pedal tuner I've owned. Set it to strobe mode and it's accurate to 1 cent, rather than 5 in the regualr mode. Noticed someone saying that the poly mode didn't seem accurate for them, but I find I just use it live inbetween songs for a quick...

    Generation Axe vids from Vegas!

    You could literally loop Yngwie's openings for his shows and that'd be his set covered basically :D

    Is this the best sounding inst. gtr record of all time?

    Not a massive Satch fan, but checked this out because of this post and I must say the production is superb. The guitar tone on Crazy Joey is absolutely brilliant. The best-produced instrumental album is still Passion and Warfare in my book.

    How DOES neck/body wood impact on the tone of a guitar?

    Can't really work it out, or am i being stupid? If the string vibration is getting amplified through the pickups through a magnet how is the tone of the body/neck wood contributing to that? Is the pickup "hearing" the tone of the woods? Thanks, just thought I'd ask! Mike

    Who remembers Blue Murder ... ?

    SOTT isn't too bad, Coverdale's never been an original lyricist, so that's not up for debate. Maybe a bit too much keys on that album (Sounds like Passion and Warfare sometimes), but I suppose Vai was a good fit considering the climate of rock at the time and he certainly brings it with his...

    Advice for gigging the first time with a Fractal

    I use a preamp/poweramp for my rig and I would definitely use the poweramp and the cab at least, as it's closer to a traditional rig and is good for a bit of stage volume too for a fuller sound. Take a monitor as well (I don't think two is necessary myself), and set it up at the front of the...

    Who remembers Blue Murder ... ?

    Bad Boy Live is on Spotify though if you're going down the streaming route. Unreal guitar sound on that album, I don't know which I prefer - the modded Marshalls or the Colesiums for tone...

    Good affordable seperate valve preamp and fx unit?

    Yeah, I love the tones the ADA can get, the first Skid Row and White Lion albums were doine with it too I think. Is it midi switchable to go with an fx unit? Cheers for the responses, guys, but what are we saying about the Prophesy or even the Line 6 PRO X rack?

    Good affordable seperate valve preamp and fx unit?

    What are ADAs like for reliability? I'll be using whatever I get every weekend so needs to be roadworthy!

    Good affordable seperate valve preamp and fx unit?

    Good suggestions, after something midi switchable too I should have said. What about Rocktron Prophesy? Not seen them mentioned much on here!

    Good affordable seperate valve preamp and fx unit?

    Cool, they do actually sound pretty good on the youtube demos I've seen. Any others apart from that and ADA I could be considering?
