    Looking for budget pre amp advice

    If your interface is giving you a good clean signal then you would be better off buying more microphones instead.

    Lexicon reverb unit or ITB plugins?

    To me the obvious choice would be to spend the money on a better CPU.

    Got a favorite pedal in your rig?

    The last thing that I heard about that guy was that someone beat the crap out of him as he was walking home several years ago. :D

    This color with cream pickups + pick guard and gold hardware would look pretty sweet.

    Cleaning frets on my Strat

    I've always used ultra fine grade-0000 steel wool. If you have a maple fretboard you should mask it off but if you have rosewood you can clean that as well with the steel wool.

    That black **** in new strings

    I had been using Dean Markley‘s Vintage Electric Re-Issue strings until a couple of years ago. I purchased a box of 12 sets and every set had bad plating and black spots. Soon after that they stopped selling those particular stings. I've switched back to D'Addario which are not quite as rugged...

    Any Boss DS-1 users? What's it good for?

    I have a DS-1 that I rarely use. I had to do several mods just make it somewhat useable. It's not really a distortion pedal anymore but more of a light OD/boost pedal. As Gonzo stated these pedals are best used to add flavor/EQ to an already distorted amp. They are not worth a crap as a main...

    Got a favorite pedal in your rig?

    When I was younger I used a shit load of effects. Now I prefer to plug straight into my amp and work the guitar volume control. I even removed the spring reverb tank from my amp. Life is too short for watered down tone.

    Line6 POD HD500 Live Setup?

    I don't think that I'd trust that stuff to hold up my cab. The Line6 and sonic maximizer would probably crack and let all of the bees out.

    big review of the Kemper Profiler amp

    I thought that the Kemper profile of the Cornford sounded pretty damn good. I love my tube amps but I don't have a problem using digital gear as long as it sounds good.

    Hammerjammer-What next?

    Those things are not a new invention. I can remember laughing at that thing 30 years ago when it was advertised in a guitar magazine.

    Pressing the G String too hard on my Les Paul

    You are correct about the 1st fret being worse. Due to finger positions when playing basic chords sour notes at 2nd fret will be more obvious.

    Pressing the G String too hard on my Les Paul

    The string slots were cut wrong and some of the strings were sitting too high. So the closer you were to the nut the harder you would need to press down which caused those strings to sound out of tune with the others. That's why the farther away from the nut you play the less noticeable it is.

    Pressing the G String too hard on my Les Paul

    If the nut isn't cut correctly it will sound out of tune at the second fret just the way you have described it. I recently replaced the nut on an LP custom that had this problem.

    Cab Clone

    Wow that CabClone sounds really terrible! They should call it the "HiveClone". Get your money back and buy a Palmer Pdi-09 and a dummy load or a Pdi-03 if you can afford it.
