    Ronnie James Dio

    I miss RJD. A lot! I found him before Bruce Dickinson and Maiden during my formative musical years, and it was his voice that made me finally take metal, not hard rock but metal, seriously. (Never liked Ozzy’s singing….that’s a whole different kettle of fish. ;) ) Only saw Dio once, with...

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    Thanks for this! You’ve preempted a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth. :cool:

    Personally, I'd stick with the Herbert. It covers a lot of tones, and although it's very hairy and spikey in a good way, it doesn't have to be heavy. I don't get along with the VH4. I'll acknowledge that it's a useful, well balanced amp, but there's something in the mids that grates on my...

    Free Windows program to slow down audio?

    I recently discovered SongMasterPro. It does a heck of a lot more than just slow down music. Transcribe is also excellent, but SongMasterPro is more intuitive for me.

    Development with the next firmware

    Normal people, meet Internet "culture". I used to participate and sometimes I still laugh, but I'm beginning to see the dark side.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    C'mon. This is a party. 🎉🥳 Can't we all just get along?

    Did a comparison between my FM3 and a Quad Cortex

    Amen. I learned this many years ago at one of those huge multiple band festivals. Every band that used some kind of simulated amp sounded great. Some of the headliners that used amps and had time to soundcheck extensively sounded good too, but any of the "quick change" bands that insisted on...

    Crisis? No but a break

    I understand and applaud the impulse (wish I’d been that smart at that time in my life). The electronics will be replaceable, but unless you really need the cash, you might regret the guitars down the road. They don’t take up that much space in the closet. ;)

    Van Halen Influence... bought a new guitar, new Fractal Sound :)

    I've heard so many people cover Panama and get the notes right, but you capture the feel and intent of Eddie's playing better than any I can recall. Great job. 🍎

    Anyone listening to the new Priest & Saxon Albums?

    I astonished by how "heavy metal Santa" is 72 years old and still kicking butt. 🤘

    Guitars in Moving truck?

    Ain't that the truth. On moving day, we had an envelope of cash sitting under some other stuff on a desk that was staying. It was there to tip the movers who were loading the truck. When it came time to pay them, the stuff on the desk was still there but envelope was gone. It was tense, but...

    Development with the next firmware

    Wowwowwow! Sounds like you guys did it again. I almost sold my FM3 when the FM9 II-T showed up, but it looks like it's staying after all!! 👏 :D

    Guitars in Moving truck?

    My solution was to pack everything critical (guitars, gear, computers, etc.) into a rental van and drive it down on the same day as the moving truck. I had no idea how exhausting it would be, but in retrospect I’m still glad I did. If anything had gone wrong I’d have been devastated.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I'm officially off of the bleeding edge beta update train. It's so nice having the III and the FM9 firmware versions "harmonized". That said, I'm really glad I have something to look forward to.....eventually.

    FM3 Cover of Cinderella 'Somebody Save Me'

    She sounds great, but maybe there's a gentle way to suggest that she might want to listen to the chorus in the original just one more time. 🤣
