Voivod fans: New album Synchro Anarchy has landed!

I've been bathing myself in the digital download version of this album today (the CD is in the mail). It. Is. Glorious! It's still all too new for me to know the various tracks from each other, but as far as I can tell, they are ALL good! Amazing that this band was on the verge of perishing...

Superstrat players: recommend HSS pickups?

Earlier this year I picked up a '90 Ibanez RG760 in astonishing condition. It's a stoopid fun guitar, but my one gripe about is that the pickups are grotesquely mismatched. I know the bridge pickup is not stock, IIRC that model came with an F1(?) but it's got a V8 in it. The V8 is a pretty...

Pickup tone issue -- with an unexpected solution

A little while back (Yipe! 3 years!) I bought a beautiful PRS Core Singlecut 594 that I expected to love to death. I already owned the double-cut version and loved it, but expected to prefer the single-cut style. After I received it from a far-off state (there are no truly good music stores...

Kudos! The virtual capo is seriously great.

Wandering around youtube this evening, I stumbled across Metallica's recent live "Creeping Death" video. "Heck yeah!" says I, "this'll be fun to bash along to!" Then I realized they were tuned to E Flat, and no guitars at hand were tuned that low. Being the lazy soul that I am, I slapped a...

Guitar amp FX loops --> patch bay: am I doing this right?

No Fractal content, so I apologize if this is too far off topic: I recently stacked up all my combo amps, little heads, rack FX, and smaller speaker cabinets onto a set of shelves. Since they were all so close together, I had the harebrained idea that I'd pick up a 1U patch bay and...

I've been starving my Axe!

I don't whether to feel proud or like a total dumbass right now... After spending a long time (years :rolleyes:) thinking that many of my guitars sounded kind of thin though my Axe-FX III, I just had a revelation. I know the advice is that the input meter should be "tickling the red," but no...

Cab block -- why 20K hi-cut?

I plugged into my Budda Superdrive II today for the first time in a while. Great amp when it's not acting up.. :numbness: Playing the Budda dirty, and listening to a comparable-ish Axe-II patch running in my usual FRFR setup, there was a lot of crispy top end from the Axe. I could knock...

IR Capture? I got nothin'

TIA for anybody who can help me figure this out... After all of the V11 goodness landed, I figured today was an Axe-II day! :mrgreen Just for kicks 'n' giggles I thought I'd try to do an IR capture on my THD 4x12 cabinet, so I set everything up: - E609 mic? Check - Mic into mixer...

Any love left for the HPR112i?

Something like 4 years ago, I was turned on to the Axe-FX standard and ultra by a bunch of friends who had been converted from tube amps. They were all playing through QSC HPR122i's and it was the first time I ever heard a modeler that really convincingly sounded like a tube amp. So I...
