    Besides performing live how do you guys get people to discover you in your city?

    I know you said no SEO... but Facebook ads. Especially when in other towns. They cost, but they work.

    My reaction after taking a break

    Dude whatever works works. Some guys get great tones out of old pods. A LOT of records were recorded with them, and POD Farm or whatever it was called. If you play through a gorilla combo amp and get your tone so be it. Don't try to bend to the herd.

    Ty Tabor used it all over the early king's x records. I have 2 of them, and they don't sound or respond like anything i've played. Low input on channel 2 is magical, just sustains for days. I've asked for one in the axe since the ultra days, so i'm thinking it wont make it anytime soon.

    Cutting Thru The Mix

    All in the mids. And use less gain. I learned it pretty hard back in the 90's. I had a full refrigerator rack with a quad preamp all the fixin's, someone auditioned for another guitarist in the band and had a Slash half stack, and he handed me my lunch. I couldn't get my rig loud...

    Current state of music

    Can look at it a few different ways. Now there are very few huge bands like back in the day. Nobody but the top 1% are making money on streaming, there is no tour support, etc, etc.... can go on. The mp3 killed the business model. IMHO YMMV.

    IEM - Sennheiser G4 vs XSW?

    Antennas on IEM and Guitar Wireless

    Those antennas are omni directional (pull 360 degrees around it), they need to be straight up and down or slightly tilted away from each (for diversity) antennas. You would be severely hampering the pickup on the antenna if its' sticking straight out the back stuck in a rack.

    Floyd Rose Tuning / Temperature change expectations

    Not really, it's just the construction of the neck. Some necks have stiffening rods etc. If the action is increasing it's bowing, you just have to maybe set it up between sets.. keep it out of the sun, or anything extreme (hot lights, direct sun).

    Floyd Rose Tuning / Temperature change expectations

    It's not the floyd it's the wood in your instrument is what I think. Does it all the time to me, get guitars out at a gig, tune them, by the time it's time to play they need tuned again. It shouldn't move that much once the temp settles. Do you notice the neck moving much?

    I'm used to using the proximity in the cab block to thicken it up a bit. This is gone in dynacabs as you are doing the proximity manually with the distance from the cab with the mic. but it's not the same amount. It's not super bassy but it just adds some low end girth, chunk if you will.
