At Venue with Soundguy: What reactions have you had regarding stereo setup?

Tyler, Typically yes, most venues/soundmen have a couple of D.I.'s for Bass and/or keyboards for example, but I think it's always good to C.Y.A. (cover your ass) in the event that the sound-person brings two (2) D.I.-boxes...one for keys...one for bass...and NONE for your guitar-lines to...

At Venue with Soundguy: What reactions have you had regarding stereo setup?

Sterotomy...we can make it together! Hi Tyler, When you tell yek "you may be limiting yourself," IDEALLY, there is probably some truth to what you are saying. However, I'm pretty sure yek/Axexander is well aware of the pros & cons/limitations-vs-benefits of mono-vs-stereo rigs at the...

iGuitar Review

Guys, If I'm not mistaken, Tom has (very recently) settled on the: Axe-FX II-->Matrix GT1000FX-->Port City 2X12 Cabs (POWER-SIMS=ON; CAB-SIMS=OFF.) I could be wrong though? Bill

Tone Match request- Michael Schenker

Michael Schenker - Euro-Rock God! Hey there groovenut, I didn't make the initial request, BUT I am a huge Michael Schenker (especially later-era UFO) fan!!! With that said: From UFO: "Hot And Ready" - Studio-version from the Obsession LP "Mother Mary" - Live-version...

Enzo Sutera - AxeFxII & Matrix GM50 - Maxon SD9 cloned!

Enzo, Love the way you play and love your tone too man! BTW, your deep & fast chorus solo-tone reminds me of fusioners John Scofield & Mike Stern (pretty good company I'd say - LOL!) Thanks for sharing your tone-shaping & effects knowledge with us too! Bill

Matrix GT800fx v GT1000fx - review + vids

Hi Trazan, I REALLY appreciate that informative explanation. Thank you so much! I'll have to give this some thought, and of course if I end up with a new amp (such as a Matrix GT1000FX) I will do the necessary preset & global gain-staging. Thanks again...and yes you "made sense!" Bill

Guthrie Govan East City Central Lights Full Video!

The Govan'er... Guthrie Govan is a killer musician, and as much as it might seem that he shows off at times, he's always very musical! FWIW, he's an excellent teacher too! Anyone looking for some cool/entertaining/funny to read and yet very informative instructional guitar-material, I...

Axe-FX II: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Coldshot

Tyler, I think you did an excellent job. That said, I do sort of agree with schlagdog not so much as your "Cold Shot" attempt, but just the Rotary-block in general? I can NOT get the Rotary-block/Leslie-sim to sound like any of the iconic Leslie-sounds I grew up listening to? If I...

Calling all Funksters ! !

"Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do MY thang!" clarky, So this seems like a bit of a different style for you from your previous tone-quests?!? Good on you for "mixing-it-up!" I love to play different styles too... One thing that you and simeon seem to be correctly onto (without...

Power-Amp NOOB questions!!! Hi Paul, GAS-ing for a GT1000FX! Thanks for this demo... Could you pleas explain your assertion that your "cab only takes 60W?" I'm not sure I get that (assuming your referring to your Zilla 2x12 - perhaps you were not?) Also, could you explain...

Axe FX II - High gain amp showcase, 13 amp models

Hea-veee! Secret80'sMan, I'll have to respectfully disagree...Obviously "to each their own" and all, but I did NOT dig the ENGL Powerball and thought both Mesa Models (especially the Mark IV) were excellent, but my personal favorite (and one that I have not tried much yet...but will...

Every Axe-Fx II Preset - The Conclusion: Bank C Pt. 1

ccroyalssenders, What did you use for powered-monitors? Did you have floor-wedges, or was your feedback just from your studio-monitors? Just curious??? BTW, nice job on YJM "Opus-Suite 5" that brought a smile to face as I was typing - LOL! What do you use live? Bill
