    JP2C Graphic EQ

    There has been so much discussion on this point (including by me) that perhaps Cliff might consider just creating an "authentic" taper option for the Mesa 5 band eq based on the amp he modeled (I believe the amp was one of JP's personal amps). I get it - having an "authentic" version would...

    Speaker Impedance Curve Description

    I was really set on trying to match Impedance Curves to IRs I was using for a good while. I have since started to view it as a powerful tone and feel shaping setting and pick whatever Curve works best regardless of what it is called. Has worked out well.

    Anyone purchase the Martin Miller preset pack?

    He is ridiculously good I think. Yeah agree the price is a little steep and tones can probably be had quickly using simple presets. Always nice to know how the pros approach their tones I guess. If you are a patreon for a few months you get then as well.

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    Doing some more reading it definitely points to airborne EMI. Different guitars same issue, turning off all other devices same issue, turn down guitar volume and it goes away completely. Except for moving house or playing in a different room there doesn’t seem to be much cure for airborne EMI...

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    As a bit of an update, I spent a few hours troubleshooting everything. Unplugged and turned off EVERY electronic device in the room except for the AXE III. Tried different power outlets on different circuits. Tried all my guitars. Tried lots of cables. Resoldered the grounds for the Strandberg...

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    Touching anything makes no difference. Moving the guitar around the place drastically changed the loudness of the hum though.

    Anyone purchase the Martin Miller preset pack?

    How did it translate on your gear? His tone is always great in his medley videos so was wondering if the pack was decent.

    I've been sleeping on Low Cut

    Are you referring to the “cut” switch in the ideal amp settings?

    What IR is Aaron Marshall using?

    This has been my favourite IR since it was released. I basically don’t use anything else. @York Audio created something very special with this one.

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    Thanks for all the help everyone. So just to summarise and check my work so I am not missing anything: 1) Strandberg is brand new and appears to be well grounded at all points when checking with a multimeter. 2) Noisy in humbucker positions and quieter in split coil positions. Otherwise the...

    Nice guitars!

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    This is a great point. It is brand new from factory (not that that means much with sloppy soldering jobs these days!) and it all looks pretty good visually. I haven’t tugged any wires but might give that a shot thanks.

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    Thanks for your experience. It seems I can relate all too acutely. In the interest of convenience and comfort I may have created a perfect storm and never noticed it until I got the Strandberg. This may be because it is not as good at rejecting EMI as my other guitars. Could also be because my...

    Suhr SSV and SSH+ pickups really noisy?

    Thanks, this is really good to know. Yeah, it was well under 5 ohms for all the components I checked for ground (which was everything I could possibly check). Seems like the wiring and grounds is spot on from a visual and continuity test perspective.
