    AFIII Metallica - "Master of Puppets" cover

    What setting were you using on the beverage? Tune sounded wicked good. Fishmans seem to be all the rage post Bare Knuckle but I love the sound of EMG's as much as anything, so articulate.

    AFIII Test - Duncan HYPERION (Ibanez AZ series) - SH2 & TB4 - Di Marzio TRANSITION (Luke III) 😉

    Liked the Duncan SH-2 & TB-4 best on everything except the "Lead", where I prefer the sound of the Di Marzio Transition. Nice demo, clean and consistent, easy to follow.

    As others have already said, of course that was awesomeness. Perhaps an ignorant question - What helped you, back in the day as they say, to learn finger positioning for lead playing?

    New Fractal Pedal

    How many amp models do you tend to use?

    I still have not made up my mind if I am going to buy the AX8 or go for the Axe rack and MFC. The biggest reason is the ability to blend two amps on the rack unit.
