    How loud do pros set the masters on their amps live?

    The manager at the studio I practice at in Burbank says that I play louder than anybody else in that studio (I'm not in a band I typically play along with iPhone/PA). I set the master on my 120 watt Rivera to 3 and the master on my 40 watt Marshall to 2-3. 212 plus a combo. So 3 total 12's...

    Ibanez AS153 tri-tone switch

    "It means that the coils of the humbucker are used in parallel - like, for example, the single coils on a strat when you're using two simultaneously. It lowers the output and gives some nice funk-tones. EDIT: In contrats, usually the coils of a humbucker are used in series, which gives you the...

    Ibanez AS153 tri-tone switch

    What does the tri-tone switch on the AS153 do exactly to the neck pickup sound? I'm guessing splits to single-coil vs. humbucker and one is out of phase? thx. up = ? mid = ? down = ?

    Is anyone happy with their gear?

    are you guys happy about moving all that gear around? I moved to AFX II and am pretty happy but involves way too much tweaking and confusion. Tones and efx are pretty decent. was thinking about buying a D-moll or einstein however...

    New AIC Track - Stone

    would you characterize his tone as quaint, delicious, scrumptious, captivating, beautiful or ghetto? it's grunge, it's ghetto, it's a compliment. that's not classical/clean music...

    New AIC Track - Stone

    any suggestions? I like the idea of "death funk". jeff beck is insanely creative and stylistically varied (no metal obviously however), it's sick...

    Is the Gibson SG the perfect guitar??

    Buy Epi Elitist LP (if you can find one although Dot's are harder to find). Much better deal for the quality.

    New AIC Track - Stone

    that black dude singer is pretty good but nobody can replace layne. no way. pretty ghetto riff. does AIC always use bogners, hence "that" tone?

    Just bought a Marshall DSL40c

    So I jammed it at home and at studio this weekend. I was surprised that it had some excellent lead tones in OD1 w/ the MaxonOD808 pedal engaged. Pentode mode only at the studio with master volume at 6/10 or so. Gets a bit noisy with gain at 7/10 and loses some tone definition (gets flubby...

    Just bought a Marshall DSL40c

    I liked the VM2266 head, very dynamic from the KT66 tubes I guess, but a Marshall ain't a Marshall w/o EL34's.

    Made In Japan - Epiphone LP Custom

    My main guitar for a few years now has been the Epi Elitist LP (non custom). Excellent guitar, very heavy in weight and heavy tones/riffing. nice fret job on this one. very good value at $700 used. why pay $3000 for a new gibson? it has grover tuners, bone nut and burstbucker pups. i think...
