Hi Mike, thanks again for the response. You'll have to pardon my ignorance, but after watching the Friedman tonetalk on youtube and going thru the IR-X main thread on thegearpage forums I thought the only way to maintain the stereo signal was by putting stereo effects after the balanced out. I...

Thanks for the detailed post on your thoughts and experiences with the unit so far! I appreciate the tips on what's worked out well. Just picked up one myself to build a fun fly rig when I can't have my amp. Can I ask, if I wanted to go stereo to FOH could I just run a stereo effect like the...

Nice! Glad to hear about the low end response and lack of hiss. And yes, please let us know how the Captor X sounds with it (y)

Oh man, that takes me back. I miss those mid to late 2000s Young Guitar vids. Used to watch them in college. They had this series of VS Battles that were awesome. Wish they did them still. One of my favorites (the guy on the right I think ended up playing for Baby Metal)

Thanks for taking the time to do all this and for sharing your thoughts/conclusions! Like a lot of others here I like the Suhr and ReactIR the most. I'm tempted to pick up a Suhr, but I wonder if they'll be releasing an updated version of their Reactive Load IR after all these years. I'm...

I'm curious about the NS-1X as well. I like the visual cue it gives. I have a TC Electronic Sentry and I like it overall, but I do notice some high end tone suck when it is engaged. It's not huge and I actually don't bother compensating with my tone/presence controls. I will say this much, it's...

Man, I love the look of that strat! Good to hear that the humbucker works well for hard rock/metal too. Been having my eyes on that one and the Mercury color. Had a chance to try one recently at a nearby music store and was really impressed. It was very comfortable and super easy to play...

May I ask how you are liking the LP-6's and do you find them noisy? I know hiss was an issue with the first version and apparently it's been improved with a quieter power amp in V2. I think the one thing that'd drive me crazy is hiss. Currently debating between the LP-6s, Yamaha HS series, and...

Definitely excited to try the Xotic XW-1 sometime. I think that small pause I hear about is the only thing that has prevented me from buying one. I own the CAE which I quite like. I like wahs with a wide sweep and a very pronounced wah sound. I bought an RMC Wheels of Fire Wah a couple years ago...

Still can't believe they didn't call it 5034 or just Ecstasy 50-watt. Oh well. I'm still excited to try it some time!

Killertone, may I ask, have you had a chance to try the Lichtlaerm King in Yellow yet? Still waiting on the Deadweald Duality DX becoming available and am currently looking at getting a new overdrive for my flyrig board. Cheers!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Lollars. Are the regular Imperials able to play drop tuned metal well? Hey thanks for the rundown on those various Duncans. Have you tried the Custom/Hybrid or Custom 5 by them? Both the other guitarist and myself play rhythm and lead in our band, but I...

Man, the Ola and the Vahlbruch chorus are both on my short list of choruses to try. Still on the hunt for a chorus that sounds really good with distortion. Love my Boss DC-2W, but the lack of a mix control makes it sound kinda soupy with high gain I find. One concern I have with the Ola is I...

Wow... really interested in this. Seems super well thought out. I like the idea of not having to menu dive. If I were to absolutely nitpick, I'd say I wish it had a stereo FX loop and two XLR outs, but those are relatively minor gripes. Does anyone know if this is made in the US or I'm guessing...

Wow. Thanks for all the responses! Looks like I have more research to do haha. It's funny... in some prior threads it seemed like the Custom received a ton of love and it's one of the options ESP offers on the Eclipse (I think for their USA models) so I thought it'd be a shoo-in. I also really...

Hi! I was wondering if I could get some pickup recommendations for my ESP Eclipse. It's an old standard series before they switched to the E-II branding. The body is mahogany, but it's quite light at just over 7lbs and plays great. I don't mind the EMGs, but after playing the guitar for the...

Cool! Appreciate it? Curious how it'd sound going direct into a DAW or thru something like a Cab M+ or Tsakalis Multicab. Also, I like that you posted a clip of the Ceres where you twist the knobs, hit the switches, and show the pedal with and without a Maxon OD808. Gives a good sense of the...

Sounds great! Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Do you find it needs to go thru a proper tube power section to sound like that or can you get similar results going direct into a power amp sim?

Interesting. Going thru that SLO-30 thread here recently I was impressed with all the positive comments. Made me really want to try one. Definitely curious to hear how this 50 watt Ecstasy stacks up. What's your favorite Bogner amp you've played?

I mean, at the end of the day it's hard to go off of just a couple youtube clips. Like Jccobb2 mentions, I'd be willing to give Reinhold the benefit of the doubt. Something that comes to mind is the Mesa Badlander. There are loads of uninspiring youtube videos, but a number of forum members and...
