Shredder? Shredder wanna be. But it *is* a case of what you get use to. Minoque was all over me - yep the figure (I think as I scramble to look it up) is 430mm (16") radius for my Ibanez Jem. So it's no wonder these strats at 9.5" feel so curved. And as far as the classic 7.25" radius goes...

Woops, sorry all. Is that what they call a seniors moment? I thought I explained it well :confused: Anyway, I'll try again. I've played an ibanez fo the last 20 years. 140mm radius (FLAT fret board). I want me a Fender Strat for the sound and I went looking at the Fender web site at guitar...

Wow.*Must* be a stupid question with a response like that! I'll keep looking... FM

Fender - Radius - is there a larger (flatter) fret board than 9.5" ? Just a quicky... I read that the standard modern Strat is 9.5" radius (compound) Do they make flatter fret boards? (I can't see an easy way to compare all the models at their web site..) Cheers, FM

"Screw your POD X3. You'll never get a good sound with that or the amp" Given that different people have different tasts in guitar sound, influenced by different artists and budgets and also the device itself may have different features to suit people of all different stages in production and...

The '88 Jem77FP came out with Dimarzio PAF Pro's. Tasty!

Beano tone. Right. (I had no idea) Yep, I'm sure everybody has their own influences and likes; Eric Clapton being far from one of mine. I'm only playing for *me*. The tone quest is only for my own recording, which I am about to finish soon. If I manage to do it, it will be the *first* original...

Last sample was the real amp. As I said, I was a bit disappointed with the sound compared to the sim. I've since adjusted the mic position against my amp so that it's on axis rarther than 45 degrees of axis and it sounds fantastic. A lot clearer with more treble and bite to it - so much so...

Beano tone? What does this mean? Thanks for your feedback. Yep, I would agree with you exactly on your description the three tones. There is a heap more tweaking can be done to acheive more POD sounds, but the blues Jr actually took 2 hours to dial in to a "acceptable" high gain sound and...

Hi all. In a nutshell - over the last few months there have been posts asking about simulated guitar effects (POD, Boss etc) vs mic'ing a real amp. Here is a sample (link below) where I've recorded *three* sections of self-indulgent wank, two with simulated sounds from the Line6 Pod X3 and one...

Cant help with your specific example - I never listened to the Boss products. I can put in a positive vote for the Line 6 Stuff though - I'm fairly impressed with the quality and versatility of it. Look for my post (in about 15 mins) where I've compared a Pod X3 and a Blues Jr Amp with...

Yep. Mr pain knows where it's at. ... and if there is any place to gloat to a relevent aidience, it's here. I have a Ibanez Jem77FP (Via model) that no matter *what* punishment I can dish out onj that poor, poor whammy bar, it doesn't go out of tune. It really is a freak of nature... Good luck...

Wow, just read my own reply. What was I on?? Talk about off topic reply. Apologies. Yeah, agree strongly with the replys here - don't need to repeat it. But there's no free lunch; some people find that the less distortion you use, the more it will show up sloppy fret work! Also, the mic...

In general, different mic positions, mic angles and position in the room all make a difference. Be patient, spend the time, try different things. You'll soon get a feel for whats going on if you stick with it. I spent *month* doing it, but now when I mic up my Blues Jr, I know where the mic...

Yeah, I'm hearing your noise, which is why I only do the freaky shit on a guitar with a locking trem and locking nut. I can't offer any advice for you other than seeing a professional and see what they say. But if it makes you feel better, I remember trying to use a trem on a strat and I...

Actually, you should ignore the above. One sample was taken with 30ft leads, the other 5ft leads so it's not exactly an even test. Do you think the leads could make that much difference in the sound? FM

Some samples. A rush job unfortunately, but you get the idea. Dual mic box test by Fusionman on SoundCloud Two sets of four samples, each of the four having the following description: 1-Source mic only in iso booth 2.Source mic and room mic in iso booth 3-Source mic only in treated room...

Oooooh. I thought he was cute. Besides, he dances like me! I'll see what I can do..... FM

Understood. I appreciate the input anyway. It get the mind thinking about the problem. I have Gobo that I can move in there. it's actually the easiest thing to try at this stage. FM

In fact (he says, refreshing his memory by reading throught the previous thread) Sky Blue Lou suggested not treating the box, but instead to place gobo around the mic/amp to stop reflections. But If I use the close-mic and room-mic technique with the gobo in that iso box, I have doubts that it...
