    Larry Mitchell - the Ibanez days!

    I was just doing some "research" related to Ibanez guitars and came across these great old catalog pictures of @Larry Mitchell back in the day. Just a shout-out to Larry for being a cool and friendly guy and sharing the Fractal love around the globe!

    Adrian Belew Electronic Guitar

    The YouTube algorithms hit a nice surprise for me. Quality isn't the best but it's a very cool glimpse at Adrian and his approach to electronic guitar back in the early 80s. He sure got a lot of mileage out of flangers!

    Wish Metronome Level for Output 3

    It would be great if we could include Output 3 Level in the Metronome. I am feeding an IEM rig with Output 1 and FRFR cabs with Output 2. I want to send the Metronome on Output 3 as an independent feed to our IEM mixer so band members can control their own click levels with my FM9 being the...

    What am I doing wrong? Audio from iPad

    Some of the guys in the band want to hear a click track. I figured this should be simple with my iPad and BandHelper. I have BandHelper configured to send Beat Clock and audio tempo to the FM9 over a USB-C to USB-B cable. That works totally fine. My plan was to route the iPad audio to the...

    AFIII Triple tracked

    Hey all, my band is working up a setlist of some older material and as I was refreshing myself I thought I'd share this tune. If you're not into the style feel free to skip to the solo. I decided to triple-track it in homage to Randy Rhoads since that's what he apparently like to do. The trill...

    Weird tuning issue

    I've been running into some challenges with my new Kiesel Delos staying in tune. I'm still troubleshooting although I suspect the nut needs some work. In any case, while doing a lot of tuning I'm noticing something I've never experienced before. The low E string seems to gradually ramp up to...

    What would you do?

    Last Friday, a former singer in my band sent me a text in which she said she had met a "producer" who was trying to re-brand her in a pop style. She asked me if I would send her the vocal tracks from the album we wrote and recorded together about 10 years ago. We are not a pop band and our...

    Ok, I know some of you guys are older than dirt (I'm merely the same age as dirt ;)) and may already be familiar, but I just learned of Jeff Beck with the band Upp... Interesting stuff! Here's a live jam from a 1975 TV show:

    This one time... At guitar camp

    I was scrolling thru some old pictures and came across this one that I had completely forgotten! This picture was taken by @Larry Mitchell at Vai Academy 5.0. You can see Steve's pedalboard with MFC-101 there. In the audience (among others) were @fremen (my camp roomie) and myself (I'm on...
