Hey brother!

Hi guys, Long time, no post. Seeing a bunch of videos online of folks using stomp boxes and Hi-Z gear in routing trails. Most seem to just whip a line out from an interface and away they go, back am experiencing significant gain when I do (even when putting a Buffered pedal like a Boss...

Yeah, I was gonna say, none of mine have had that kind of a rout (MIM/USA). Looks odd.

Lol seerously lik good on rami lol

Hey guys, Getting back to computer-based recording after a pretty long hiatus! Downsized quite a bit but would like to pick up a few basic bits and pieces for a home setup/project studio/whatever. Was hoping for recommendations/thoughts in the are of both a Soundcard and a DAW: Soundcard I...

I think 40W might be overkill for home recording only. Have you tried anything by Orange? They mightn't do Metal but they do most other things, and as you said, a good pedal will you take care of the heavy stuff. They have a lush OD. If it were me, I'd take a look at some head/cab options.

LOL! "Hey Muttley, my strap pin fell off, what is the right toothpick to superglue ratio here? k thnx bai" What kind of a Tele are you jonesing to build man?

I think Jeff Beck was a big fan of the ProCo into a Marshall sound. To be honest, those heads are still what I picture when I think about electric guitar amps, even though I've never gone down the Marshall head route. They're pretty awesome looking. Do you find yourself programming the midi...

Yah there's heaps to be said for that. What Marshall are you running these days? I'd probably be less inclined to use pedals if I had a couple of channels in play, and if I stripped it back, I could probably use the Micro Terror as my 'clean' and the OC 15 for the drive tones. And reverb - I'd...

Yeah I hear you completely. I tried a few 'transparent' compressors but didn't get the quack I get from the Boss and don't find it all that noisy, or at least, not like people say.

Hey man! How're you? Yeah, lots of relics from when I was a junkie for this stuff, you know yourself! Let me see if I can get this right in my head: - Big orange one is a Morely Tripler, basically an A/B/Y. One output goes to the big Orange head, the other goes to that small one on top; that's...

Hey man, thanks for that. Yeah I think this guy was pushing for heavier too, he builds some Jazzers so I guess he's a big fan of medium or heavy gauges. Looking forward to seeing how it feels - there's some wear on the lower frets, so I believe he'll level some of the upper ones and taper it...

Can't turn my back on my boss CS3, at least not for long - I like that very obvious compression. I have been toying around with a Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone for a while, and while I do like how quiet it is, it seems a bit over-engineered and the squash on the attack takes aot of getting used...

Well guy, here it is. Haven't had much time at all to play it, but so far so good. The break-up is pretty much as expected, and as described via YouTube and other review sites. I won't get much clean head-room here, but the fact that the cleans have a decent amount of depth to them is nice...

Hey mate, how are ya? Quick one for you, and I apologise, as I'm sure it has been asked before. I was wondering if it's easier for a luthier or someone in the know to set-up a guitar with one gauge versus another? Reason I ask is that I've used two different Luthiers here in Ireland for more...
