Steve Morse was the nicest famous musician I have met. He was actually just about the nicest person I have ever met.

Anderson for me. I don't like PRS. I guess they are well built and all that, but I can't get into the sound, playability, or looks. The Anderson Hollow Drop Top is the best all around guitar I have ever played.

A good Marshall, an old Fender Twin, a Diezel Herbert, a Bogner fish, a few THD 4x12s, Double Neck guitar of some sort, Eventide rack stuff, Digitech Whammy 1, another Anderson 6 string or 10, an Anderson 7 string, Suhr Classic, Vigier Fretless, a nice 335, a good tele, an EVH type frankenstein...

I love pedals. I could only do current favorites: Maxon OD9 Demeter Tremulator Fulltone Ultimate Octave or Octafuzz-depends on the guitar or day. Eventide Timefactor Keeley 4 Knob Compressor I used to have a Moogerfooger Ring Modulator, and I really miss it. Had to sell it a few years ago to...

I think that's a very good price. I have one of those that I use as a backup, and it's very good. I changed the pickups. I was trying to sell it some time ago, but opted to keep it because people kept offering stupid prices for it. I sold an RG550 really quick for 500 bucks, and I can't...

I'm not sure yet. I'm borrowing my bassist's Carbon Copy, but I think I'm starting to dislike it. I like my Timefactor a lot.

Of course, if I was actually going to do any of that. The block is in there for good at this point, at least until I have to replace that edge trem again (they tend to wear out, being made of such terrible materials). My biggest mistake was not recording BEFORE I installed the block. I was not...

That solo is just ridiculous. Steve rules!

One thing I should have clarified, which I don't think came across earlier, is that I'm not bothered by the minutes it takes to initially change the block, I'm bothered by the idea of taking it out to listen for the difference, and then putting it back in to see if I prefer the sound of it in...

Factoring in string change and intonation, it's nowhere a 15 minute job from start to completion. I also was not suggesting a new EQ pedal, but simply altering settings on whatever items a person may have inline. This is benefiting no one. This back and forth is probably a victim to the...

Definitely a possibility. It was an impulse buy. After trying it, and then seeing reviews and videos, I decided there are easier fixes, like just playing a different guitar, or using different settings. It's not that important to me.

Fair enough. This is just a difference of opinion. I care little about any "minority" barbs. I re-watched the video, and yes there is a mild difference, but I didn't totally prefer it, and that is the sort of thing that can be achieved a variety of ways (EQ, pedals, etc.) You have stated...

If you want rational discourse then you really need to pump the breaks on the hissy fit. I am familiar with what you posted, so you are wasting your own time. My Crate reference was clearly hyperbole, but I feel it is a relevant point. Guitar World's reviews are not exactly trustworthy. They...

Not to thread high jack, but I have been impressed with the Super Plextortion clips I have heard from Wampler. I wouldn't call them "inexpensive" myself, but they aren't as bad as some.

I agree, thank you.

I don't flatly agree. Morse has some great tones, and some not so great. I wouldn't call any of his tones terrible per se. His vibrato is an acquired taste. When it works it's one of the best, I don't personally like how he uses it all the time. I like it on most of Southern Steel. I have been...

Looks great! I love my Keeley Compressor.

Apologies for the long post I really hate to contradict, but: That's not at all what modes are. Modes are the different sounds you get by playing a major scale against various bass notes of the same key. For instance, the notes of the C major scale (CDEFGAB) played against a C major chord, or...

Does anybody really take Guitar World's reviews seriously? They probably gave glowing reviews for the Crate Blue Voodoo.

It's not surprising to me that he didn't know. Even though he is in Hair Metal bands, Reb's listening tastes lean towards fusion. He admits in the clip that it's in bad taste to badmouth a fellow musician, but oh well. As bad as Kirk's playing is, the guitar solo to "One" basically paid for most...
