    Neal Schon GoT

    It's not about being jeolous, pissed, envious or anything like that. NS is a virtuoso musician. No one on the planet plays like NS. There's no doubt that tone is as much in the hands as anything, but a 2x4 with strings, pickups, and knobs is still gonna sound like sh!t - don't care who you...

    Low and High Cut For Live Performance

    Low cut 70hz, 12db slope. High cut 6500hz, 12db slope Our engineer puts a PEQ on my guitar and cuts the lows some. At 70hz, my IEMs sound full though and it doesn't really bother FOH

    Neal Schon GoT

    In the rig rundown video that Cooper did, he had (2) 5153 half stacks (mic'ed) on stage and his pedal board. The first pedal on his board was a Boss 4 knob compressor with the first and last knobs dimed IIRC I doubt this preset truly represents his live tone completely. But, there are some...

    5153 50w Blue Presence

    Thanks for the replies I updated to 23.05 from an earlier revision. I was previously at the revision where the triode algorithm had been updated (loved this update). When I moved to 23.05 my tones changed (some characteristics I like, and some I don't). Pot tapers and bias points changed with...

    5153 50w Blue Presence

    I use the 5153 50w Blue model as my main amp. I have been setting the presence knob at around 2.04 since I built the preset (that matches the factory 5153 preset using the same cabs). What equivalent setting would that be with updated presence taper pot? Just looking for a rough idea because if...

    SOLVED: Huge 'HISS' at switch-on...

    This makes 3 times an inexplicable noise has taken over a unit since 23/Betas began. The others were remedied with a power cycle IIRC. Hope it's not a bug

    Talk me out of (or into) buying a Suhr Guitar

    To the OP; ask the question, "how many folks have experienced dead frets on a Suhr Modern". While I don't think it's a widespread problem, it's prevalent enough to give me pause Play before you buy

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.02 Release

    Update completed - no issues whatsoever. Some part of this update tidied things up nicely. I made very minor adjustments in BMT and added a touch of gain on some scenes. Dam, it sounds good! Gold Plate reverb is my new favorite

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    Thanks for your sage advice The rep was from there to help set the pin spacing for the right depth of field on the arrays. I'm not a sound engineer, but that's my best explanation. The system was dialed in using our normal pre-show sound track. It sounded really good. The drum sound, snare...

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    A quote that sticks out the most for me is the same one I hear from our engineer all the time, "it needs to sound good in your IEMs first." That's why I dial tones using my stage gear - IEMs, No 1 axe, guitar wireless, and headphone output from my IEM transmitter. I also use the Axe headphone...

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm not exactly sure what the engineer did but the net affect was the guitar laying down in the mix. I'll find out what he did when I take my rig there to dial. We've been using JBL line arrays for a couple years (2 or 4 per side). These new ones (6 per side) are...

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    The engineer has a PEQ set for my guitar. It cuts some low end and boosts 2k range so I sit well in the mix. This also leaves my IEM signal unchanged so I have the sound I like in my ears. Not sure what all he tried but it ended up pulling me down. He knows what he's doing We have FOH scenes...

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    The audience loved us. It's 80's rock -Journey, Styx, Loverboy, Jovi, etc - what's not to like :) Our engineer pulled me down in the mix except for solos. I heard several comments like, "great show but I couldn't hear you as well tonight". Credit our engineer.

    First show with Dyna Cab - Bust

    I didn't hear it in my IEMs at home. I use Shure SE846 buds and I trust them. But, when I got home and had time to dissect things and knew it was there, I could hear it. I think it was there with my previous legacy IRs but it didn't "appear" with those. I DON'T think it's a bug, it's me and...
