    Looking at Midi keyboards - Ableton live

    I'm doing a bit of gear shuffle again...some streamlining. Going to sell my Yamaha MODX6+ which is really great but I find I just use software/vst's more. Also, this past year I've been getting more into Ableton Live as a DAW. I'm finding it more inspiring to use (for quick song ideas) vs...

    If you had to choose a Tele or a Strat..

    If you had to choose one or the other. And i know the true answer is 'both' of course! but....if you could just have one. All single coil configuration. Would you keep the Strat or the Tele? I'm considering downsizing a bit and I'm pretty torn on this idea. My tele is the superb instrument...

    ODS-100 Ford PAB - Tele goodness

    I was searching for a real buttery smooth/warm lead tone to use with my Tele. I pulled up @Burgs 'D-bells, Klones and Hallows' preset and landed on scene 6 with the ODS-100 Ford PAB. This is exactly what I was looking for! Dialed in so good. I recommend you check it out. It's not an amp model I...

    Recommend a Mic for acoustic guitar recording

    As the title says...I'm considering buying a mic to record my acoustic guitar vs using the built in electronics in my Taylor. I'd like to capture the Taylor's natural sound vs going direct. Nothing for professional use. Just a decent mic to capture a good sound (XLR to my Apollo X6) without...

    FC layouts + midi/remote assignments on a secondary

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but what I'm wanting to do specifically for the Looper block controls. I have the FC-12 with a looper layout already. I also have an Xsonic Airstep that I use as a sort of 'b' smaller rig when I don't want to move my large pedal board with FC12 over...

    Humidifier treatment for Acoustics

    It's been ages since I've bought an acoustic. I give so much attention to electrics but lately have rekindled my love of playing acoustic. Today I did the dangerous thing: stopped at the guitar shop ..you know for strings and such. Thought i'd wander into the acoustic room. Whole wall of...

    Apple Airpods pro vs...

    Any Airpod pro users here? Do you like them? (note: not for guitar use. General audio listening) I just ordered some off Amazon but battery life seems rather subpar. Also worried about diminished battery over time. Looked at bose equivalents as well. One feature I want is noise cancellation...

    Need some YA advice. Help me choose a pack

    I just purchased the York Audio MRSH M20 to pair with all my Marshall amps that I like. Looking forward to auditioning these. Sound clips I've heard are amazing. I honestly rarely touch 212 cabs in the Axe cabs as i'm mostly a high gain player though I'm playing a lot more cleans and edge of...

    Want ACDC? Dirty Shirley is your answer

    Been awhile since I've jammed out to some ACDC and was looking for a Marshall to fit the bill. Dialed in the Dirty Shirley. Holy cow it is spot on! Such a responsive amp

    Rediscovered CA3+ Clean. What's your fav clean?

    I was browsing some older threads along with Yeks amp guide and was reminded to try out the CA3+ clean. Sure glad I did. So easy to dial in and feels so full bodied/well balanced. Was rockin out on my Gibson and switched to this amp for clean and have been stuck playing on it for the last hour...

    passive vs active eq. What's your go to?

    I don't usually use anything beyond a 5 band eq in the amp block EQ section. Curious as to what most users gravitate towards? the passive or say the Mark 5 band EQ? passive vs active. pre vs post Power amp; let's say for Marshall-esque amps, for example, what you say?

    Wish FC display modifier sweep

    Not sure if this would even be possible but thought it'd be handy to see either the %age or graphic display of the modifier sweep on the FC6/FC12 when you engage an expression pedal on a given effects block...maybe in the scribble script area for that block or on the main FC display screen. To...

    Rear input differences

    I started using the Stereo output jack on my EBMM JP15 > splitter > with the Piezo signal going to the back of the Axe III 'input 2'. The signal was very strong/loud compared to my mag line that runs to front instrument input (Actually the magnetic signal from splitter goes into a radial jx...

    Charvel trem bridge replacement

    I've been considering a Charvel for some time now. I had the new Govan MIJ model in mind due to specs and mainly the wilkinson style locking bridge sans locking nut. Yesterday I popped in the local guitar shop and tried a few models out...a really nice USA select DK24 and this ProMod dk24 which...

    Ernie Ball Musicman Axis prices (used)

    I'm considering selling my 2002 EBMM Axis and have looked at reverb historical selling prices etc but I have no idea what to list mine at. The prices are all over the map and have spiked majorly over the years it seems. I'm seeing prices that are north well over 2K. Curious as to what you all...

    Finally did it and purged the bin of random cords, cables and adapters

    If you're over 30 you absolutely have a bin/box full of random cables , adapters and such. I had 2 bins full of this stuff that I've held for 20 yrs now. A veritable Radio shack supply at my disposal. I woke up today and decided it was time; cue rising cinematic theme...time to PURGE deep echo...

    Yamaha THR30ii

    I'm looking at this model to use as a practice amp. Though it'd be relatively close to my Fractal setup I'd like something quick to plug into to encourage more playing. That's the point afterall right? Whatever tools that inspire us to play more. Does anyone have experience with this model in...

    E-Drum kit suggestions

    I'm not a drummer. I finger drum pretty good on the keyboard and have long thought about an E kit. I have Superior Drummer 3 and wondering what Kit would be adequate. $1-2K. Thoughts??

    Synth block - programming chords

    I have never dived into using synth blocks much though I have always loved various presets that use them for Drones and Chord changes. I finally decided to give it a go and used one of Fremen's presets to study. I found a chart for frequencies and dialed in the 3 notes into Synth block 1 and...
