Possible help with tinnitus?

If you increase the force of the tapping shown in the OP video to a good old head slapping then mild concussion does seem to work. I thought tinnitus was as much brain related as ear related? The frequencies unable to get heard any longer by the damaged ear bit are generated by the brain...

String Choice: Ernie Ball or D'addario?

Used EB Slinkys (both reg and ss) for many years when gigging heavily. However it should be noted I changed strings at least once per week on my main guitar then. I took a long break and then reduced my gigging when starting again a few years back. EBs (9's and 10's) seemed to snap the little...

Announcing the New FM9 Amp Modeler/FX Processor

Well ... I was on the fence about which 'Cygnus' model to choose, FM3 or AxeFX3 and also bemoaning about needing to add a FC6 .... not now. Looks like a great truly portable product. Hope G66 get their mitts on some soon

A question about IEMs and FRFR cabs

Little help setting up Axe-Fx 3 and matrix power amp, 2x12 cab

Hmmm .... your pic shows you're opting to use Bridged mode. You should be connecting the AxeFX output to Input Channel A on the Matrix in that case (and Output X to the cab as you already have done). Personally I prefer to set the Matrix input volumes up high (3 o'clock position) and control...
