    Finally tried w/d/w…..

    It takes a bit to dial it in correctly, but once you do it sounds glorious! I prefer 100% wet in the wet cabs so as not to have any phasing issues. That said, I wouldn’t use w/d/w in a live setting. Stereo is fine and even that’s too much to ask of some sound systems/sound guys.

    I know we, as cocky guitarists, ignore you guys, but this is to all you bass players

    That’s just sick. It amazes me how talented some people are.

    DiMarzio Super Distortion vs. X2N (Series, Split and Parallel modes)

    Thank you! Very helpful comparison as I have both pick ups in different guitars.

    Any production rackmount high gain heads worth looking into other than Mesa?

    Honestly, if you are after the recto vibe for recording, I would just get a Syn 1 and the DRECT module. It sounds like a Recto, no doubt about it.

    Any production rackmount high gain heads worth looking into other than Mesa?

    I have the Rectoverb 25 in regular headshell config. I love it boosted with a Maxon 808. I’ve owned bigger rectors, including a Racktofier and the 25 captures the vibe for sure. Obviously doesn’t have the huge lowend of the big boys but you can compensate for that with amp sims and IR’s...

    EVH 5150iii EL34 50W - Just the red channel

    While I agree that the blue channel, boosted is my favorite, the red channel is killer as well. I had two, first versions of the 50 watt previously. I recently bought a newer (concentric pots) 6L6 version and the red channel definitely seems to have been improved. The green channel as well for...

    Synergy Amps - Thoughts?

    I have two Syn 2’s with T/DLX, BEBB, SLO and Uberschall modules that I run through a Fryette PS1. I also have a Mesa Stereo 2:50 and an Engl 850/100 power amps. That said, I prefer to run the Syn 2’s through the PS1 because it’s a transparent sounding amp that allows you to hear the differences...

    Who Was the Better Duo; Michael Wilton/Chris DeGarmo or Dave Snake Sabo/Scotti Hill?

    Tough choice. I like DeGarmo/Wilton for their precision/harmonies but Scotty/Snake for their raunchiness. Same goes for the original singers in each of these bands as well. I guess since I was such a big QR fine, I’ll go DeGarmo/Wilton.

    Jim Root on Tone-Talk Right Now

    I knew Jim back before he was in Slipknot, playing in the Des Moines scene with his band, Atomic Opera. Great dude and so talented. He should do a solo album because he can absolutely shred and doesn’t really get a chance to in Slipknot.

    For the bass players here.

    Sweet rig. GK stuff is solid and love your pedalboard. Here’s my rig for the corporate gigs I play a couple of times a year. I have two Fender Player precisions that I run through it.

    Bare with me....is this W/D/W?

    it can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it but yes, it sounds huge no matter what. Enjoy!

    Bare with me....is this W/D/W?

    Yes. ideally if your XTC is dry (no fx) through the 4x12 and your 2x12’s are wet (100% fx). Some people run some dry in their wet cabs as well but the consensus seems to be that the wet cabs sounds best running 100% wet.

    Rob Halford Isolated ....Screaming for Vengeance.

    This tour was my first concert. Still my favorite Priest album. The fact that Halford can still sing everything from their catalog at age 72 is mind-boggling. The true Metal God!

    4x12 sound in 1x12 ?

    I have quite a few 1x12’s. I run stereo and WDW rigs in a home setting so they make the most sense to me. Of the 1x12’s I own, the Mesa wide body 3/4 back cabs have the most thump and sound closest to a 4x12 to me.
