    Gibson/Epiphone lies

    You have a guitar worth $300k sitting in your collection?!? I thinks you have smoked a little too much dope in your day too. Don't get me wrong, I like nice, rare things, but you can't tell me that it plays or sounds significantly better than some of your other guitars and it is basically a...

    Gibson/Epiphone lies

    Why does it matter where a guitar is made again? If it feels, plays, and sounds right I couldn't care less if a guitar was made on the moon.

    Progressive Metal Collab with Metalhead

    Awesome work guys. Not just in recording and programming (how bloody long did those drums take?!?) but in writing too! I dig the ghostly leads. EBow? Definitely gives it that Opeth vibe. I only have shitty speakers so I can't say too much about the mix. My only real complaint is the lack...

    Since Orange and Mesa decided to charge their ridiculous prices and none of the cheaper brands make anything that sound as sweet. ;)

    Dual Rectifier Footswitch Issues

    See, now that is a proper response. Thank you. It seems however that we still have a communication breakdown regarding the nature of the issue I am having. Your description of how the loop operates confirms the way I thought it works. I have both knobs turned to "footswitch". I realize that...

    Dual Rectifier Footswitch Issues

    Hmm...let's see, I ask a simple question and you come straight out with a holier than thou attitude and and I'm the jackass, eh? Well, you are clearly smarter than me so I guess I should just defer to you in all your wisdom. My point is simply that since you totally omitted one of the...

    Dual Rectifier Footswitch Issues

    Well, I don't want to be an ass either, but you might want to try looking at the knobs on your amp. I'm looking at the back of my amp right now and yes, there are two: "Channel" selecting your channel (1, 2, 3, or ftsw), and "FX Loop" for setting the loop (with bypass, 1, 2, 3, globally on, and...

    Loud Humming noise coming from my Behringer BX4500H Bass Head

    All the necessary details have been provided - it's a Behringer. That buzz is probably the best sound that will ever come out of it. On a serious (well, more serious at least) if it buzzes my first guess is usually a ground problem.

    Dual Rectifier Footswitch Issues

    The light works, but it doesn't toggle it on and off. And yes, I have the assign knob set to footswitch. When in this position the loop is always on.

    Dual Rectifier Footswitch Issues

    I recently got a used Dual Rectifier and while the amp itself is in nice shape the footswitch looks thoroughly stomped on. It is really noisy (big pop noise) when switching between channels and although the indicator light toggles on and off, the FX switch isn't toggling the effects loop. Does...

    Guitar amp poll

    As a proud owner of a Mesa Dual Rectifier, I have to say that if price/irresistable deals weren't an issue I would be playing an Orange.

    I Cant Decide.

    I played a couple of Schecter's last weekend and I hated the necks on them. Very flat profile with tall frets. Plus, the frets were almost sharp on the ends. The other guitar player in my band have a Schecter 7 string. It sounds good enough, but they don't play well at all in my hands and...

    Metal tones from a non-metal guy (clip inside)

    The tone has much more of a 70's rock vibe to it for me. I like it, but it is too buzzy for metal IMO. I guess it kinda depends in what kind of metal you are going for, but yeah, like I said, I like it for a smoky 70's hard rock tone.

    Weird issue when changing string gauges

    Ok, I think I have the problem figured out. It was driving me nuts because it's not like this is the first set up I have done, but it is the first time I have encountered a bridge like this. This specific guitar has the most basic bridge PRS offers on it. It does not have independently...

    Weird issue when changing string gauges

    So I recently swapped the stock strings on a PRS for a set of Ernie Ball Heavy Bottom, Slinky Tops (52-10) and it has caused a really strange problem. The intonation at the 12th fret is still right but it is somehow off throughout the rest of the guitar. For example, if you tune the open...

    What makes a good amp for low tunings?

    Well, the amp issue may have been settled by an irresistible deal. A buddy of mine who works at a local shop has a Mesa Dual Rectifier with a 4x12 Mesa cab that is just too good of a deal to pass on despite being a bit more than I wanted to spend. It's hard to say no when faced with such a...

    Tuning your guitar 1 octave down.

    What's the difference between using a 6 or 7string? I basically run my 6 string as if it were a 7 without the high string. I doing so I run the same gauge strings as I do when I tune up to E. With suitable strings there is no reason I couldn't go lower. The original question had to do with...
