    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    Stereo when I'm the only guitar in the gig, mono, but not hard panned L/R, when we're two guitars. Panning is up to FOH, but from what i understand anything from 70 - 90% depending on the size of the room and distance between speakers.

    Expression Pedal Calibration Question

    Humbucker vs. single coil

    There's a huge sonic difference between humbuckers and single coils. Build your presets with the guitar you're going to use with it, and if you want to use both single coil and humbucker fitted guitars, copy the preset and make one version for each type of pickup. You can also try using a...

    MATRIX is still in business.

    I have the GT1000FX, had a CFR12 that i was stupid enough to sell thinking I'd go the IEM route. IEM is a hassle when the rest of the band isn't on IEM's, and now I can't seem to find the CFR12's for sale anywhere. Are they discontinued?

    Wish Tuner on Heel Down Delay

    Remember to set "mute" to OFF in the tuner config page. I use a Mission SP-1 with toe switch for both volume and wah, and haven't had any issues with it. If tuner is set to mute when engaged, it's gonna cut your sound off when the pedal is in heel down pos.

    Digitech Whammy 5 in FX loop

    So, I have my WH-5 in the loop, and I can move it anywhere in the block chain depending on how I'm using it (whammy, harmony, octave etc.), but I'm noticing there's a lot more noise coming from it compared to connecting it directly to the input. If there are other users with the WH-5 in the...

    Is it me or the sound guy?

    I'm thinking it's not so much a volume issue, but an EQ issue. It's important that each instrument has their own place in the frequency spectrum. Too much low end, and you're going to be fighting the bass and the kick drum for dominance in the lower frequencies. Too much high end, and you're...
