    another Kemper gig

    Having another Player compliment your tone- usually means very good tone- also he didn't know it was a "Profiler"- even better test. Must be working very well for Tones - tubes or not. Congrats and keep us posted.

    another Kemper gig

    When using DI do you need to use Cab IR's from other sources or are there good speaker IR's within the unit ? Is it possible to use DI and mic a speaker simultaneously ?

    I've been wrong my whole life

    Great playing and lines but some of the tones and pitch warble stuff detract from the Music for me............

    Jet City JCA22H issue...tubes?

    Not a Tech and I don't know, but I'd send it back if it keeps happening. Could be a Power Supply thing..........if it's an unusually long time to warm up/power up.

    Measuring Wood Resonance?

    When I say a Guitar is Resonant - correctly or incorrectly - I mean the Resonance you can HEAR not just FEEL. If you can hear it -it means the strings are vibrating louder or deeper or brighter or fuller- depending on the Guitar of course- and if you can hear it ( in a quiet room ) the pickups...

    Name a Bright, Loud Single Coil

    Not a true single coil but the Cruiser a la Andy Timmons ( he uses the Bridge Model in neck and middle - actual neck model will be a little brighter/thinner ). I liked the Lace Hot Golds in the Demo on this thread.... Then you have the Area 61 and the Kinman Woodstock .

    New hard rock/metal soloist. Who should I be listening to?

    Most of those were really interesting. What about some players with major chops / technique ?

    Radial Bones London vs. Carl Martin Plexitone vs. ???

    I remember the Radial Hot British was like a Marshall-in-a- can ( in a good way ) or instant 90% to the Van Halen Brown Sound ....and they actually can sound good into modelers etc. making them more tubelike.

    Compound radius fingerboard, worth an upcharge?

    I also like a straight 14 " Radius but the compound Radius necks I've played were Anderson and Suhr which both felt great and I did not notice the compound Radius-felt similar to my straight 14. I think if you notice the compound Radius thing -it's bad. I also have played straight 12 " Radius...

    NGD: Carvin CS624 WITH FLAMED MAPLE BLACK STAIN TOP

    If it's loud acoustically- that means it will sustain until Tuesday with a little finger vibrato and also be extremely punchy and dynamic plugged in-sounds like you got a great piece of Mahogany there ! Lucky .....give us a Tone Report after you put the Suhr Pickups in . I'm gonna be jealous( I...

    NGD: Carvin CS624 WITH FLAMED MAPLE BLACK STAIN TOP

    Beautiful - love the tight flame pattern and the staining is beautiful. I think the stop tailpiece you have looks nicer than the M bridge and I really appreciate the tip about the Rosewood fingerboard being warmer- thinking of a possible CS3 in Koa or Mahogany or possibly an H-S-H Boltplus to...

    Best Rackmount Preamp/Rackmount Poweramp Combos (no digital)

    Yeah !- I can see why you're interested !- the " Paradox" is even with Metal Type Gain -it still has beautiful TONE ! ( the Quinn Amp in the Video you linked= Wow. ) Also the singing cleans on that Amp are impressive IMO. The preamp I heard was like some of Bonamassa's two or three amp...

    Best Rackmount Preamp/Rackmount Poweramp Combos (no digital)

    I heard a Video Demo of a Quinn Preamp that was a little more Marshall flavored and higher gain than he usually did/does ( but still his own thing ) and it was some of the best Overdrives I've heard anywhere. +1 on adding Quinn to the List.

    50th anniversary Marshall JTM1 video

    Yeah- if the two channel ones when they get to the Modern Era are this good or better- should be really cool- overpriced but still if they sound great.....

    Best Rackmount Preamp/Rackmount Poweramp Combos (no digital)

    Funny thing about the Quad X Preamp from Carvin- no one knew they were good until about 5 or 10 years AFTER they were discontinued- are they really good all around pres or just good for one thing? Like excellent cleans, crunch and leads all from the 4 channels on there or severe limitations ?

    MAKO MAK4

    Would you guys consider the Mako Mak 4 Pre to be good for Classic Rock and warmer Vintage type "prettier" smoother overdrives and clean tones ( vaguely EJ/Gilmour/Timmons/Schon etc.) or is it primarily Modern/Tighter sounding ? Demos suggest it has the versatility for either but just wondering...

    Best "new" Les Paul's??

    If they would shorten the Headstock-IMO they'd be more popular. I know there are Trademark issues but it does not have to be so LOOOOOOOONG. Someone needs to tell them.

    Best "new" Les Paul's??

    WOW ! Very interesting- I don't own an LP but I might and I naively thought that the "Tenon Thing" was just a matter of the LENGTH extended into the body. BUT-the fact that the "Short Tenon" includes a sloppier fit with less contact is more significant- I'm sure some "short tenon "LPs sound...
