I bought a few things. SDE-3000 EVH, H90, SoloDallas. However, my favorite purchase ofr 2024 was my ESP LTD JM-II. Stellar guitar.

The funny thing is that here are Ed's actual settings.

I tend to run the gain knobs on both the blue and red channels at noon on my Stealth. Maybe I'm just weird...lol! Yes, they have a shit load of gain. However, I find that below noon the amp thins out in a way that I don't care for. It a perfect world, I'd love the Stealth blue channel and...

Honestly, it comes down to pickup build. I have three sets of unpotted PAF style pickups. The ThroBaks in this video. A set of Pete Floance Voodoo 59s and a set of Duncan Antiquities. I haven’t had any issues with squeals on any of them. If the pickup is wound tightly and the cover has been...

I honestly believe that higher output pickups do a thing in front of a high gain amp. Take for example a set of Fishman Fluence moderns. They definitely spank the front end. That has a tone and a feel. And I honestly believe that it has more to do with feel than anything else. Ther is an...

Since the topic was swirling... I recently install a set of ThroBak SLE-101 Plus pickup in my 2005 Les Paul Standard. The below clip is through a Peavey 5150 block letter/ Mesa Recto OS cab profile on my Kemper. They definitely sound good and have a clarity. I will say that higher output...

The first demo should have been Petrucci. They could have stopped after that one. He has been the biggest brand ambassador for Mesa/Boogie since the 90s.

If they ae the V7/S1/V8, then you shouldn't have to replace them immediately. They are actually good for stock pickups.

Both types of pickups have their uses. I enjoy PAFs and modern high output pickups for different reasons.

I have used the standard crybaby, the 535q, Bonamassa, EVH, 95 switchless, CAE, the bad horsie and the Fulltone Clyde. I currently have the Clyde on my stripped-down board and the EVH on my main board. I play hard rock. The CAE was my least favorite. I didn't like the sweep of that wah at...

Saw Death at a small club in Baton Rouge in the mid/late 90s. They were on the Symbolic tour. Actually, got to talk to Chuck before the show at the bar. He was a super cool dude. We shot the shit for about 20 minutes. I was just getting into more extreme metal. He was very gracious with...

Local shop in my college town sold them and Line6. I always thought the Johnson amps sounded so much better.

Those were actually killer amps.

Through a PA, there is plenty of hair on it, I promise. Fletcher Munson is real...lol!

Jeff gets these insanely fat tones and just sound juicy to play.

Welcome to the party! I picked one up in late 2022 and have been using it live and in the studio since. Great tool.

Picked up Josh's latest Kemper Profile pack. Here's a quick vid of my favorite EVH 1510 III 100 profile. I've been using his profiles both live and for recording for the past year. They really are about as mix ready as you can get. Anyway... for those still rocking a Kemper... check them out...

lol! I'm not buying it again just to be black. lol!

Perhaps a used Mesa Recto 212?
