    Axe-FX III as Audio Interface with Cubase - Controlling Monitoring Levels

    I'm using my Axe-FX III as my only audio interface with my Windows 11 PC and Cubase Pro 12. This is working pretty well for me, but I'd like to be able to balance the monitoring levels of the guitar signal and recording tracks differently than I am now. Currently, I'm using a Global parameter...

    Guitar Pick: searching for Jazz III shape made of Delrin 500

    I've been searching for Jazz III shaped picks made of Delrin 500 without success. I used the Dunlop Delrin 500 in .46 for a few years, but found that I like a point-y pick, rather than the rounded tip. I tried to shape the Delrin 500s to have a point, but with inconsistent results. The Delrin...

    NGD: Taylor T5 dual-humbucker

    I just got a Taylor T5 in Pelham Blue with dual humbuckers, built in April of 2006. They didn't make very many of these in this color with two exposed humbuckers (that look like lipstick tube pickups), so it's kinda rare-ish. One reason I got it was I wanted something that offered sounds...

    Suhr SSCII - after-purchase installation in a new Suhr with SSS

    I just bought a new Suhr Classic S Custom with SSS. I'm really liking it, but just realized it didn't come with the SSCII from the factory. I've sent a message to Suhr support to ask if they'll even do this kind of work - install the SSCII. In addition to the SSCII, the middle pickup would...

    Price for routing for neck humbucker

    I’m converting an HSS guitar to HH. I didn’t realize until removing the pickguard that the neck pickup position route is for single coil. Drat. I’m not confident enough in my skill with a router to attempt this myself. So, I’ll need to find a shop that I trust to do the work. How much...

    Bridge Swap - Gotoh 510 for Wilkinson WVS130/2P - Ran into a snag

    Today, I was going to swap the Gotoh 510 with a new Wilkinson WVS130/2P that I purchased a few months ago. Should be a quick change, right? However, there was a snag. Check out the pic, the Gotoh is on the left, Wilkinson on the right. See anything amiss?

    RESOLVED: Wah Block with Axe-FX III and FC-12 - Only Half-travel on EV-2

    I'm having problems setting-up a wah block to work with my EV-2 connected to my Axe-FX/FC-12. I'm using a switch on the FC, effects layout, to engage/disengage the wah block. This works just fine. The EV-2 works almost fine. The problem is that at about the 50% point of the EV-2's travel...
