It's all good! I can totally understand why it wouldn't work for everyone. I think it all really comes down to your particular guitar, your signal chain and what you want to hear. My main amp is an old Bogner XTC 101B. I run it a bit differently than most. I usually leave the boost engaged on...

Even though most of us only know each other from our interactions here, many of us have been around for years, or decades. Losing one of our own like this is a tough blow to our little corner of the guitar community. Incredibly heartbreaking. RIP and rock on Splatter. :rock:

The Wolftones get mentioned here quite a bit. Sounds like I need to check those out. I've got other guitars I can try new pickups in. :D I looked at the Whole Lotta Humbucker too, but generally speaking here, Page's tone tends to have a little too much honk for my tastes. So I kinda skipped...

Nice! That is a KILLLER Drop Top! Guessing it doesn't sound too shabby with that VH4 behind it either. :rock: Yeah, right after I replied to Docster's thread resurrection question, I thought, "we're going to get shit for keeping this going". :D

I mentioned this briefly in another thread, but thought I'd start a new one. TLDR; for all you guys and gals looking for that "slightly overwound PAF" thing, I highly recommend you give the Thornbucker+ a go. I have zero affiliation with Suhr or Pete, just had a great experience I wanted to...

This. Every Anderson pickup I've ever had was more on the modern side. I don't have any experience with their HF or HO series though, so maybe a call to Anderson would help sort things out. I had a mahogany Cobra S years ago that came with an H2+ (I think this is their most popular pickup). It's...

Dang, sorry to hear it was a bit of a headache for you, but glad you got it worked out. I can't remember, but I think the D-Tuna comes with a longer set screw. I don't think you necessarily have to use it, depending on the trem. Maybe yours just has the shorter one? Not completely sure about...

It's taken me a couple of listens to get into, but I'm really enjoying it. Huge JP fan. I'm in the minority, I like it a little better than his first one, but I might have to give that one a spin again for comparison. Regarding his crunch chorused tones, I completely agree. Even in the more...

I read years ago he was using the Eric Johnson Dunlop Jazz III picks. He said something to the effect of, "If they're good enough for EJ..." If he was still using those, I guess you didn't really miss out on much. :lol: :LOL:

First, congrats on the new Wolfgang! Glad enjoying it. They are amazing guitars. I've said this here several times before, but my old black Peavey Wolfgang Special is THE guitar with the most tonal mojo of any guitar I've ever had. I don't know if I just got a good one or what. I've had a few...

This. Even though I gig with 2 Bogner 4x12 slants, which are also not too shabby. :)

Beautiful! :rock: You're exactly right about the Standard vs. Special, it's thicker and warmer without that snap that the Specials have. In addition to that though, mine were just kinda dull. I've heard others that sounded much better. Bought both online without playing them first, so luck of...

I tell ya, I have a decent number of great guitars and my Peavey Wolf Special is a standout. It sounds like nothing else. A slab of basswood with a way-too-thick clear coat and a maple neck. You wouldn't think it would sound as killer as it does, but for whatever reason, it works. Bought it...

Was going to suggest Strandberg as well if the OP doesn't mind that type of guitar. The other guitarist in my band is a recent convert and has a few of them now. Not really my thing either, but the lightest guitar I've ever tried. He covers a ton of musical ground with his too. I have a...

Is this what you're talking about? https://www.evhgear.com/gear/shape/wolf ... 5107921849 I've never played that particular model, but tried a number of USA EVH Wolfgangs early on that I didn't like feel or sound-wise nearly as much as my cheap-o USA Peavey Wolf Special. Haven't played a USA...

Disclaimer - I own and use Helix floor - do not own an AxeFX III Tone being the subjective thing it is, I think you're most likely to get the better amp models and effects in the Axe. For sheer ease of use and bang for buck, Helix hands-down. I've had mine for a few years now and it's a killer...

Was going to ask the same thing! We need a whole new thread on just that! :D :rock:

These days, I'm exclusively a live guitarist. I bought my Helix specifically to replace my pedalboard for fx only because I was getting tired of switching out pedals, or buying new ones whenever a set would change or new songs were added. In that respect, the Helix covers my needs perfectly...

Bought a PC+ last year for my Helix just to mess around with. Learned a few things very quickly. Not necessarily for the OP since he's already made his decision. 1) Like the previous poster said, you have to adjust to hearing what is essentially a miced speaker cab through a PA 2) If you want...

For pickup options (this goes for anybody looking for new pickups), I can't recommend the PRS metal (\m/) enough. For a high-output ceramic pickup, it's one of the most versatile of its type I've ever tried. I don't normally gravitate to ceramic pickups, but this one is definitely mislabeled and...
