    Energyball is Amazballz

    I like Energyball too. I have been searching for quite a while for a more "organic" metal amp model but ended up with Energyball again. It cuts through very well in the metal mixes. It' my obligatory left guitar in a mix. For live purposes, I would sometimes go with something else but for...

    Wow

    The breakdown is sick.

    yes I said banjo

    Thanks a lot! The IR_5_string_banjo_dazzo_IR44k actually helped me with a sitar sound. I was making a banjo preset (it worked excellent too) but then the Thievery Corporation - Lebanese Blonde came into my mind. I tried once before to reproduce the sitar from that song but this took me there...

    Does anyone else find it funny

    We have a huge TV in our living room and we all watch series and movies on our laptops and cell phones. Why? The picture is undoubtedly better on the TV. I think it's the pace of consumerism and abundance of possibilites. We used to share more before, if you were listening to a hi-fi before or...

    Which humbucker would you choose to coil split?

    Check out the BK Polymath. I never had that many options with a pair of pickups.

    AFIII Poly-rhythms and smoking Marshalls.

    Very cool! Juicy tone, nice feeling and a marvellous execution.

    Transitioning from 6 string to 7 string?

    It wasn't hard for me and I was already older. At the beginning you'll be confused for a day or two and afterwards it will become the new normal. I'm missing a string now if I take a 6-string guitar in my hands. I've even bought a classical 7-string guitar.

    Dad Jokes

    This is an old one but still one of my all time favourites: Chuck Norris managed once to eat his whole birthday cake before they told him that there was a stripper inside.

    AFIII Dimebag Darrell Psycho Holiday solo but horrible version

    You are to modest in the title, you've nailed it.

    Suggest a bass for me to buy

    That was what I feared. I've uploaded it in Switzerland, probably some rights are missing. I can't think of some other solution. This was the title on Youtube, a comparison between Ibanez SR300E and Yamaha TRBX304, with the pros and cons for both, compared at the end with a fender squire...

    Suggest a bass for me to buy

    Maybe you have already seen this: It seems to me that the SR300 has the low end a bit thin but a good overall sound and definition.

    Quality over quantity.

    How about one that can do anything?

    Dyna-cab, general consensus is that they're "better" than legacy?

    I can say now after testing DC some more, that that was exactly what I was missing with the usual IRs. Some of the sounds that I had in my head came to life. Changing the mic position makes a huge difference, it gives a completely different texture with small moves. To me it sounds now perfect...

    The soundtrack to your life?

    I was a teenager, around end of '80s. We've played cards and one of my friends put a tape on repeat. I never had metal music on my radar before. In the whole mix, Metallica's Blackened appeared periodically. After 2-3 runs I was obsessed by the Song, I've never heard something so interesting...

    Dyna-cab, general consensus is that they're "better" than legacy?

    I'm clearly subjective but I can only tell that I've had the best session ever with the new feature - DC. Among all the IRs that are in the unit and all the IR packs that I've bought, nothing comes even nearly close to my first experiment with the DC.
