    Anyone else find modelers/sims uninspiring?

    Maybe. I know most casino gigs require silent stage. The clip I posted is one of the larger venues in Houston. I can assure you that we made well beyond $300 for that show. ;) It is what it is. I still bring the big rig when I can, but I don't feel limited when I have to use my Kemper or...

    Anyone else find modelers/sims uninspiring?

    They are tools. I love moving air through a 412 with a 100-watt amp. It is a drug that is hard to beat. However, the reality is that more and more venues are requiring stage volume levels to come down. I have had very good results with both Kemper and the Quad Cortex. I have also gotten...

    Recommend a Delay and Reverb pedal for 80s metal

    Anything you put in the signal path, and I do mean anything, will alter the tone. You have to decide whether or not you like the alteration.

    Recommend a Delay and Reverb pedal for 80s metal

    Delays- Digitech DL8 (the actual Lexicon chip that defined some of the 80s sound) Boss SDE-3000 (it is the 80s) Eventide H90 (the Swiss Army Knife of effects that sound expensive... because they are...lol!) Reverb- The Digitech Hardwire verb... again Lexicon chip Anything that says Strymon H90

    Best zakk Ozzy album poll

    No More Tears for me. That album elevated both Zakk and Ozzy to the next level in their careers. IMHO, it was their defining album.

    Vid from this weekend's show

    Thank you. That is a capture of my EVH 5150 IIIS. All three of us have moved to the Laney 212 LFR cabs. They have made a huge improvement in our off the stage tones. What I love is that it makes my digital gear feel much more like playing my actual amp. The cab actually thumps when you do...

    That would be him. Juan and I have been playing together in various projects for the past 12 years.

    A clip from my ban's show this past weekend. I'm using a Quad Cortex and the other guitarist is using a Fractal FM9.

    Trying to compare EVH and Randy Rhoads... Get real.

    They are both great, and the world would be lesser without both of their contributions.

    Skid Row 1989

    Bach has always been unhinged. There are plenty of old interviews that came off as douche bag. He had a hell of a voice though. Subhuman Race was a slamming album. Saw them and Pantera on tour in the mid 90s. Killer show.

    Friedman Runt 50 SAT switch mod

    Does the Hot Mod effect the clean channel?

    Friedman Runt 50 SAT switch mod

    Yeah, if I need 5150 levels, I’ll just use my 5150. I just want a bit more juice than the amp has stock.

    Friedman Runt 50 SAT switch mod

    Has anyone here had the SAT switch mod done to their Runt 50? If so, did it give you the extra gain you were looking for, and what was the cost? I like the overall voicing of the amp, it would really like some more gas in the tank. I don’t mind boosting for solos, but prefer to get my...

    Help me build a portable gig rig!

    I went Kemper Stage with an FRFR cab in 2023. Switched to the Quad Cortex about a month ago. While I love my EVH 5150 III half stack, the modeling route has just become the norm for tribute bands in the Houston area. I do miss to raw power of a half stack behind me but getting my entire rig...

    Initially underwhelmed with the Quad cortex - any tips or tricks?

    It took me about a week to really start dialing in tones on my Quad Cortex that I liked. I also came from the Kemper world. I think its a bit of a learning curve with the new workflow process. I do miss some of the effects in the Kemper. I will say that once I did captures of my amp, I knew...

    Ozzy died…

    He leaves behind one hell of a career. Godfather of Metal. He gave us some of the guitar greats. Rhodes, Lee, Wylde, Holmes... to name the majors. I hope he's jamming with Randy.
