Anyone using the Duncan Fury pickups? I'm thinking of putting them into my 73 Strat. Any input/review would be great. Thanks.

so sorry to hear the sad news. All the best on the road to recovery, Mike.

Have fun on the gig. please give us a low down after. Levin should have a great tone.

+1 on the Hearos. I don't even play a gig without them. Ear plugs are essential as part of our rig, IMO. All the great gear won't do shit if your hearing is fucked. The Hearos don't seem to alter the sound too much, but it does help my ears from ringing afterwards. I always have a set in my car...

the color of this oozes mojo! cool indeed. The headstock design is a nice twist on the Strat design too. :thumbsup:

I never used the TL, but the TF have been great for me to bring to rehearsals or small gigs. I can dial in a usable delay quickly right on the gig. But my go-to delay comes from my TC G-Major :rock: the delay on that is serious, studio quality. The TF have been a real versatile delay for me...

I used to bring it across the border like others suggested. Just tell your bass player to say it's part of his rig, bring a guitar and a cord. Get rid of receipts.

yeah, Luke! 55 yrs old and still getting better! One of my absolute favorite players of all time. Never rested on his laurels. the guy still practice and keeps getting more tasty and musical. I have to agree that his gain sound is a bit fuzzy, although the tone is there. Maybe in a band context...

that sounds like a reasonable thing to do. FWIW I noticed my EVH was biased a little cold too, my tech jacked it up a bit from the factory 25ma. I actually thought it was too hot and loss some of the definition, so i had him brought it back down. I actually liked the lower bias better tonewise...

thanks so much for posting this. He is on in this clip :rock: I said it many times, when Lynch is on, he is great. He could play the same song on another day and the results may be totally different. He's inconsistent like that, but i think that's the cool thing about him, the unpredictability.

By Odin's eye, welcome to the EVH club, dude. I love my 5150 III to death, best amp I ever own to date.

It was a good show. Yngwie's tone was amazing, with that occasional annoying high end pierce when he does high note bends. Ethan was actually a good contrast to Yngwie, giving the show a nice balance. He favors more major arpeggios and keys, and he's more of a George Lynch-80s style. i enjoyed...

they were good for the time, in the early 90s I ran a whole ADA rig. It got old really fast, the sound is really processed. I was able to get that ADA's Paul Gilbert tone and Nuno's too. But it's just very processed sounding so eventually I sold them and opted for a Mesa Mk IV.

Love the ISP Decimator. it does affect the tone when when the gate closes, but the amount of tone suck is minimal. I have 2 on my pedalboard, one for each amp when I'm running 2 amps. :rock:

Randy Rhoads' live tone, like on the "Tribute" album, that was like a buzzsaw. I had a Boss Heavy Metal distortion pedal when I was 15, came pretty close to that tone :thumbsdown: Speaking of GTR, Steve Hackett used the very same pedal, again, shit tone.

I totally understand where you're coming from, bro. And i wasn't directing to you as hater. I myself do have a love hate thing with Yngwie as a player. When I saw him with G3, it was a little uncomfortable, he didn't play that good, but still great performance, although his weight at the time...

When I posted this review, I knew that it's going to be both haters and people who do respect his contribution to guitar, I can respect both. Yngwie does provoke that kind of reaction. But I have to say, some great intelligent observations from you guys here.

Agreed. His live tone last Friday was probably the best live tone I heard from him. Problem is it's just too fuckin' loud with that piercing treble. You're right about the Marshall, he does run them in 50-watt mode, never used the built in DOD, but from his DOD pedal. I never compared the HS-3...

Just saw this clip of the show, not great quality, but you guys can get an idea: df32c5WI2d4

I saw Yngwie at least 5 or 6 times over the years, first time was the Trilogy tour. i have to say this is the best I heard him play. I love the fact that he improvises all the time, and this tour his ideas are a lot more cohesive and musical. When i saw him with the G3 tour, it was a...
