    Amps that clean up well

    IMHO 18.04 has changed the tonal landscape in this regard, and it's driving me nuts. I used to have just a hand full of go-to amps that would do the job of going from clean to nasty and now just about every amp I try works great. It's probably going to take me months (because I keep getting...

    Axe-Edit 3.1.9 released

    Another quick AE upgrade to match the new firmware. Seems like the AE guys are hot on Cliff's heels the last while and that's just one more reason why I love this company, it's products and the commitment to constant improvement! Great job to all!

    can an electric guitar pickup "fail"?

    Dumb question, is there any difference if you run in stereo mode vs mono mode? The block wiring diagram on the Music Man site shows both neck and bridge pickups running to pickup switch then to tone control then to the mag volume & active preamp block then to the mode switch mixed with the...

    Placebo??....I think not!

    I know exactly what he means. I loaded V18, went to my favorite clean patch (Deluxe Verb) and when I hit the first chord it was like, whoa! What the hell was that!

    I'm Just Going to Leave This Here

    Very interesting! In my mind I'm wondering is this a stand alone Axe plus foot controller or is this an interface between a floor controller and a rack mounted Axe unit? In either case it's just more genius at work. Well done Cliff! BTW, do you ever sleep?

    Semi Broken Up Brit 800 G3 FW18 Mark Day

    Great playing and tone as usual Mark! Interesting, I was just messing with this song on the weekend, trying different amps to get that tone, using my Melancon (ssh). Never thought to try the Brit 800 with a humbucker guitar. Guess I'll be trying that tonight. Thanks!

    Custom Telecaster - where to get

    I have Tom Anderson and Melancon (both tele style) and both are excellent. The Melancon is three pickup style (H-S-H) and has a LR Baggs power bridge so it's very versatile. The Tom Anderson is dual humbuckers with coil split. Again a great variety of tones available.
