Anyone receive their 2023/24 CLR Neo deliveries?

Anyone actually receive new speakers from their late 2023/24 orders? I know the history of disappointment with this company so I’m wary to begin with. I missed out on the sale at the end of 2023 and emailed their customer service about the next batch. Received timely responses and they said more...

Red sound mf10 speaker pair significant volume difference

Just received a pair of the MF10’s and there is a significant volume difference between the 2 speakers. Powered cab is much quieter than the passive cab. I’ve gone through a bunch of patches, switched between output 1 and 2 and done everything I can think of. I even created a test patch with...

Red Sound best practices?

Have a pair of the MF10’s due Monday. Amp stands or on the ground? What’s the consensus on placement of the cabs. The Laney 112 and QSC K12’s I used previously had to be off the ground to prevent too much bass. Same with the MF’s?

Updated to new Axe II FW and new MFC update and now my MFC no longer says "record" when I press switch on most presets and the play button no longer stops the loop. It is recording but I'm a little weirded out that maybe I didn't hit the button since there is no feedback to tell me it's...

Dizzy V4 CH3 tweak FW 14

My take on the stock patch with less gain and less reverb. Makes for a great rock tone and sounds huge through my QSC K12's. Amp Y is the basic amp and X is the same with the boost engaged for a sweeter lead tone. Played through a Washburn X Series with a Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge...

Superior Drummer owner that wants EZdrummer 2 upgrade? Read this first

Just a heads up to SD2 users (like me) that mistakenly think they also have EZdrummer as part of SD2...you don't. You have EZplayer which is not the same. Bought the upgrade on Sweetwater thinking I was all set and when I went to Toontracks site with the serial number I discovered I was a moron...

Patch name scrolling before selecting on MFC?

Just received my MFC today after using a GCP for years. One feature I loved about the GCP was that when I was changing banks, it would auto scroll through the patch names on the bank in case I had a brain fart and could not remember which patch was at what spot. I've had no such luck with that...

Guitar pickups getting electronic noise that I can't pin down

All of a sudden I've started getting a loud annoying electronic buzzing through my guitar pickups in my home system (loud and annoying on humbuckers and unbearable on single coils.) With the guitar volume off it's dead quiet. I've tried 3 different guitars all with the same noise. I've played...

Testing Heavy Double Track 5150 Blue & Fryette D60

Been playing around with amps to double track with the 5150 using a little test track. I kind of like how the Fryette mushiness pairs with the sharp edges of the 5150. 5150 L and Fryette R. What are some of your favorites to pair when double tracking heavier stuff?

A little heavier Dumble

I decided to check out the Dumble and this is what I got after about a minute or 2 of tweaking. A nice meaty patch. Preset 60 was up at the time so I just changed the amp to the ODS100 Lead, bumped the master to 6.62, added the bright switch and turned on boost in amp x and left it off in amp y...

Video - I taught my dog to work my pedalboard and looper

My little buddy Sammie is pretty smart so he picked this up quickly. The hardest part was getting his timing right with the beat but he has now learned 4/4. 3/4 or any odd meters seem to throw him off though...we are working on that. Added some footage from around the house so you didn't have to...

This is from a local songwriter show I host @ a popular coffee shop in our area. We do it once a week and get 3 performers to do 2 hours of originals and speak about their songwriting muse. Mostly it's solo acoustic folks and a duo here and there. I try and keep it unique and interesting so I...

What do you think about the news of VH "taking a break"?

The Van Halen fan in me desperately wants to believe it's genuine. The rational mind in me says get a grip, it's over...at least for a while. They are staying on the road till June 26th so that's a good sign right? Am I in denial? Are there any Cherone sightings in LA?

noise through 1/4" outs

When I run either of the 1/4" outs (outs 1 or 2) on the axe for recording I get a weird interference type noise. When I use the xlr outs it's perfectly quiet. I know...just use the xlr's and quit bitching right? But sometimes I just don't want to be bothered with unhooking my xlr's from my...
