    Does Bad Hardware = Bad Guitar Tone? | Rules of Tone | PRS Guitars

    Personally I think it’s cool that they care enough to go down that rabbit hole.

    Thin or thick pick for high gain & pinch harmonics?

    I like a .88 for pinch harmonics, especially on the higher strings. Something about it just sounds & feels a little more natural to me. I like 1.14 mm for heavy rhythm chugging & fast lead playing. I can play pinch harmonics ok with those too.

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    I’m really tempted to order one, even though I have one from the limited run. Why not have the matching set?

    Completely debt free

    Congrats! I just got the last of our debt paid off earlier this year, it’s a feeling like no other. I splurged on a few gear purchases, but unfortunately most of the extra income goes toward adult priorities now.

    Having to put in some time practicing this new song, written by our drummer 😅

    Old Line 6 M9, jewel amongst the pebbles?

    I had one for years and was always really happy with the tones I got from it, which often got me compliments at shows. I mainly used it on the clean channel of my cobra; for chorus, delay, reverb & light OD, the midi interface was handy for channel switching too. I sold it a few years after...

    NGD '59 ES 330

    Recorded something with it today. I know it's blasphemy to play this on anything that isn't a Strat, but the vibe fit.

    Brent Hinds (ex-Mastodon) died last night.

    Sucks to hear, I probably saw them live a dozen times & they never failed to impress. My old band rehearsed in the same spot they did down in Atlanta, around 10 years ago. We'd bump into them from time to time and they were always cool when we crossed paths.

    Some killer’s amongst the classifieds…

    Anyone else find modelers/sims uninspiring?

    I like them for recording song ideas & headphone practicing. If I scroll through presets, I can always find a tone that’s close enough and run with it. This sums up my feelings pretty well. I love being able to scroll through & find a preset, then get to work on whatever song idea I’m fumbling...

    Your favorite high output passive pickup for metal (7 string tuned 1 whole step down)

    I really like the SD Alpha & Omega set.

    One guitar to rule them all?

    Realistically I need more. But if I had to choose, I could live with this one. Probably swap to p/g to one with the volume knob moved out of the way a bit, it still gets in the way of palm muting sometimes.

    LP neck 'bucker of choice

    My R7 came with an MCP t-wreck which has really grown on me. It’s pretty dark especially for clean tones, but the lead sound is just fantastic. Unfortunately they don’t seem to offer them now & I can’t find much info on them.

    Suhr SL68 Mk I - EQ Boosted clips

    Nice work. It definitely has that 81 bite. I don’t think it’s a bad thing though, this would sit perfectly in the right mix. I’ve been playing my SL67 a lot lately & really loving the old THD hot plate to knock off a few dB.

    Mesa Half Stack Value?

    $1500 for the head. Maybe $800 for the cab. I see them listed for $1k pretty frequently, but those listing are always around for quite a while.

    Song Mixing

    Like some others have said. A bigger & punchier drum sound would help tremendously. If you don’t have that, you’ll be fighting an uphill battle all day. To prevent them from getting buried, everything else has to be dialed back to compensate.

    Eddie’s 1982 striped Kramer up for sale

    I want to buy it and start a YouTube channel, where I only use that guitar to play Randy Rhoads tunes.

    Do you listen to an artist's music before their show?

    Usually a month or two before a show, I’ll try to listen to them a little less, if it’s something that I’ve been playing lately. I enjoy seeing a band live & hearing them start into something I’ve not heard in a while.
