What is the point in spending a shit load of money on pedalboard power supplies other than the fact they look nice? I've got the cheap 1 Spot power supply which is just a plug 8No. 9V DC plugs coming off it and it works fine. The only drawback is that 8 power cables isn't quite enough. I was...

Apologies in advance for all of the photos that are going to be in this post! My new guitar which some of you already knew about is complete: Its due to arrive on Wednesday. I'm just prepping a the bass and drums and a scratch guitar part on my latest track so I'll be ready when it...

Here it is sitting in a mix, What you think?

That Chibson, looks pretty authentic actually. So decent electronics and a trip to a luthier to get a fret levelling and good set up and it will probably be perfectly usable. Anyway, here's another hard rock tone. I've nudged both the mid and treble up a notch and dialed the bass back slightly...

Bubba brought something up on another thread. Doesn't like shared EQ between clean and crunch channel. To be honest, I wouldn't either. But it got me thinking, does anyone do that much tone shaping with the EQ on their clean channel. I thought about it when I got my last amp which only has a...

Holy shit, that's an extreme case. Piss funny though. Here's the contents of my bag o shite that I carry around with me. Packing now, rehersal tomorrow, important gig in London on Tuesday

Here's another tone. This is a heavy one - its actually basically the same amp setting but I've notched the gain up to 9 O'Clock (yes, that's low but I have loads of gain available). Its basically my antidote to playing folk/pop all the time. JD

Been a while since we've had a tone. This is the tone I currently use with the band, but I'm playing punky shit through the bridge pickup whereas I'm normally being more delicate through the neck pickup. Tone Amp Settings/Mic

I think for the first time ever I'm actually thinking about buying myself a nice guitar strap. Contrary to popular belief - aside from when I'm lazing about at home - I do mostly play standing up. I find straps are like socks, when you're a kid your parents buy them, then you buy the cheapest...

Right, as you say, I'm not spending loads of cash on a way of keeping cables tidy. So I spend an hour building a new pedal board.

OK, finally got sick of gluing velcro to a plank of wood and onto the bottom of my pedals so I'm gonna get a proper pedalboard. I'm interested in the pedaltrain metro 24. It seems to have the right balance of length/depth to fit stuff on while not being a pain in the arse to lug around with you...

Anyone know how these things work on an amp? Can you just stick them straight into the guitar jack on your AI?

Making progress - will be complete and on its way to me next week; I really hope I get it for Friday as I have a gig on Saturday!

I mate of mine snapped the neck on his JEM, it was repaired years ago but now its actually warped too so is basically fucked. I've offered him my Ibanez which he could Frankenstien, but for a variety of reasons he wants to keep it to the JEM neck with the white headstock, gold writing and tree...

Gents, Starting a new band and need to tab out some of my songs. Know of a decent tab creator? I've tried one online and it seems pretty slow and cumbersome, particularly for repeating patterns of chords. Anyone know of anything quicker than just using notepad?

Work have finally given me a new laptop so I can record while I am away during the week and take it home with me on the weekend for re-tracking where necessary. Its HP Probook - Windows 7 Pro - 2.2GHz - 4GB RAM - 64 Bit. I'll be installing Reaper. I will be needing another AI as I know it will...

I currently have the Blackstar Studio 20 Combo. Sounds, great, love the amp, just the right sort of functionality for me. However, I always had it in the back of my mind that I would upgrade the speaker to a V30. Instead of buying a V30 and wiring it into the current cab I was thinking of just...

Yes, I'm programming fake drums and I know all the drum purists hate it - hey, even I hate it! But I need to make the best of what I have. This is a decent example of my usual drumming: https://soundcloud.com/brother-number-one/test-milk My general technique is this: "My DAW generally has a...
