    The Noho model is not relic’d typically I agree with you as far as aesthetics go.. it kinda feels like buying jeans that already have holes in the knees. That being said, the way my Cali model feels to just hold, as well as play, is the nicest feeling guitar I’ve ever laid hands on...

    The new spring reverbs are amazing! So many great sounds. Just wanted to throw this out there since it appears Cliff is a spring aficionado. Enter the… Master Room XL305 with 12 springs. This is imo the ultimate spring reverb…Would be an amazing addition to the Axe. It sounds Super lush and...

    Looking for a second set of studio monitors

    I have the APS Klasik monitors. I found them quite a bit nicer to listen to than the Adam A5x. More detail in the midrange. On audio forums they are usually described as sounding extremely good for the cost which is comparable to the Adams. I think I paid around $1k for the set

    Captain Obvious here with a post about monitors

    Well, the obvious next step would be to listen to your tones through some actual high end monitors. $1000 for even a used set is not even approaching mid grade. Yes the room needs treated obviously but if you can go on a trip or something and listen to some great monitors... just saying. $2500...

    Overall favorite powered cab?

    The Friedman ASM12 is known to have the most amp like feel but maybe not as flat and accurate as other options. That’s what use and it sounds and feels just like a real cab to me but I’m likely used to it by now. Finding the right ir is a big part as well.

    Really great trick

    The indicator should be moving quite a bit. If it’s not play with modifier settings. That said the way I have it is almost too much. It’s fun to play with but for actual use in a band scenario I would probably pull it back a little bit.. my point is it should be quite noticeable when playing...
  47. Tahoebrian5

    Really great trick

    Yes that too and that was my original intent. The happy accident is pinch harms come out louder, and really just digging in I think creates a little burst of noise that occasionally triggers a gain increase also.

    Really great trick

    I just had to share because this is absolutely wicked! I have been playing around on the factory preset 077 studio leads.

    It likely depends on the software you are using. For me I typically have autocad and excel open at the same time for structural design.

    Yes from what I recall, although it wasn’t neve or api. Too lazy to google it. in general though the mic pre drive is just another tool to play with.

  54. Tahoebrian5

    Mic preamp models vs Neve 1073

    Yes but it doesn’t have to be only one thing. I’m sure a 1073 style pre could be treated like a new amp model. An la2a could also be added to the amp models for the box tone, then if a new compressor model was added you could couple the two together, etc. seems like it would be similar to just...

    Mic preamp models vs Neve 1073

    It would be a massive hit in the recording world if cliff modeled some studio gear to the same level as the current guitar amps. I like to run my guitar after the axe through a neve, la2a, ssl g compressor, then RND 542 tape emulator. Sounds glorious. Obviously too much gear to use live but...
