    RIP Myles Goodwyn

    "Live at the El Mocambo" was and is one of my all-time favourite albums (the LP, not the remixed CD which sounds awful). RIP!

    Couldn't hear the backline?

    I seem to be the only one NOT wanting my guitar in the regular monitor when I'm using a monitor or cab myself... To me hearing my signal from multiple sources makes it diffuse and more difficult to hear clearly.

    Valley Arts M Series HSS

    I have an M-Series Valley Arts Strat. Bought it 1988 in Cologne at "Valley Arts Germany". AFAIK these were japanese parts put together in Germany under the name "Valley Arts". They cost roughly half of the US-models. Mine is 7/8 size.

    They All Sound the Same Part Deux

    Ok, I was fooled by the gain (thinking the amp and Axe would clean up the most), after listening through my studio monitors (0300Ds) I can't hear a difference between 1 and 2, so the accuracy aspect is perfect. They both sound great, too. 3 still sounds good to me (despite having less gain), but...

    They All Sound the Same Again

    1 sounds best (clear and cutting but not unpleasant), 2 sounds similar but not as forward and clear, 3 is useless.

    They All Sound the Same Part Deux

    Only listening through my MacBook Pro's speakers I'd say 3 is the Axe, 4 is the amp.

    Modeling Microphones? Antelope? Townsend Labs? Slate?

    I have a Slate and the Townsend. I've used the Slate for 3 years and I still like it. I mostly use it without the software emulations (although they are very similar to the original mics I know - U47 e.g.). As a ProTools HDX user I can't use the Slate plugin while recording, so that's a caveat...

    NGD Teuffel Nickel Birdfish

    I first saw that guitar at the Frankfurt Messe it was first shown to the public mid 90s. I have always dreamt of owning one, but my finances won't let me. Gratulations!

    Favorite Songs/Solos Using Tremolo Bar

    Lots of Nik Kershaw stuff, especially „Wide Boy“. And of course anything written above.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    Patches tweaked on an FBT 12ma will sound weird everywhere else.

    Gibson Standard vs Gibson R8 vs Gibson R9

    Playingwise you seemed most „at home“ on the Slash and the sound difference is negligible if there is one at all. I don’t like its looks (I like the R9), but if YOU like it the Slash seems the way to go.

    What are your favorite FRFR speakers?

    CLR and a little step down Dynacord AXM-12a.

    FM3 Pitch Detune - FM3 v the Rest

    Wow, SPX-90 for me, then Eclipse and FM3. I hated the 1210 plugin, PCM81 sounds good, but you may not have panned the voices fully L-R?

    Strange 6kHz noise in my new house, any ideas? (Update - getting closer)

    I got two air conditioners installed in Dec. last year. One of them causes constant 4kHz noise into my guitars, the other one is silent. I've got a technician coming in the next days to check...
