    Something that Bothers Me at Gigs

    People would and maybe still do talk about Derek Trucks not being more emotional when he's playing. And here I'm thinking that if they listened with their ears rather than their eyes they'd hear some of the most transcendant emotive blues rock guitar playing ever put into the world. Further...

    New Guitar Synthesizer

    It’s actually more than that. Zen core include Rompler sounds, but has several synthesis techniques that can sound great. https://www.roland.com/global/promos/zen-core/

    FM3 w Different Guitars (pickup levels)

    Input trim is your friend. That’s what you use to compensate for differences in pickup output (or to increase/decrease overall gain structure separate from preamp gain). That’s how you get amps that otherwise seem hotter than real world counterparts to chill out (jazz tone, funk rhythm)...

    Is that an..... ULTRA? (Adrian Belew)

    Just saw Adrian last night with the Remain in LIght tour. He and they were fantastic and he was using the Ultra. Sounded fantastic.

    PRS DG30 (Amp Model Project)?

    I've seen Grissom over a really wide span of time from 80's with Joe Ely through more recent Saxon Pub days. I heard him with Storyville playing the Marshall rig that was so loud that they couldn't really put him in the PA, so you had to find the perfect spot to balance all the sounds. I heard...

    Are there any decent midi guitar controllers? 30 year search

    Midi Guitar 2 is really good. Give a try.

    TPS: Joey Landreth

    I saw the Landreth Bros a couple of months ago and he was fantastic. In another era he’d be a total guitar hero. He managed to get a whole slew of fantastic and supremely musical tones wrapped around tunes that often had super quiet dynamics at times and were very song-oriented. Loved his...

    Anyone familiar w/Category 5 Blues Amps?

    Briefly had one, but it was super loud and master volume was crappy. Sounded great. Heavy as hell.

    McCarty with P90s anyone?

    I don’t tend to chase tone with pickup changes. I have a bunch of good fo great guitars and had a couple of other P90 guitars better suited to me. It was a great guitar and I’m sure it’s loved wherever it is.

    McCarty with P90s anyone?

    Had one. The P90s were really hot. If you want to rock it’s great. They were too hot for me, but loved the playability.

    what does the input trim do

    It’s one of the most useful controls on the Axe. I find it almost impossible to get a super clean tone with humbuckers without taking it down to .5 or less. It’s the beginning of setting up your whole amp gain structure which is the most important thing in a preset. Don’t be afraid to really...

    Any 335'ers Up In Here??

    I have a Heritage that looks almost identical. Great guitar with Seth Lovers. Heritage isn’t always great (nor is Gibson), but when they are, they really are. Mine was one of the best used deals I’ve gotten in years. Totally sings.

    Yet another "Should I Take The Plunge" Post

    FM3 sounds great run as you run rig…Fenderish amp, couple of drive options, verb, trem. Fantastic options and you don’t have to dive very deep to have a variety of great tones in that realm. Then when you want to sprinkle other seasoning in, the fx options are stellar. Far better than you...
