    Do you build separate pre sets for live volume?

    Tried global EQ to dial in one, and port for soft or loud. Never worked. Always dial in for live volume (preferably with the band...can use the GEQ to get you in the range that makes you distinct). Tweak the 'kids and wife are sleeping' presets separately. IMO.

    You clearly weren't listening to 'Kraftwerk'. We're going to have to disagree about what is considered 'Rock and Roll'. IMO this is a shitty name for what it is. Lots of wiggle room for 'music that shakes up society'. Is Billy Holiday Rock and Roll? Madonna? Jony Mitchell? I guess I term...

    Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

    Gonna disagree here. Summertime Girls is an iconic song. I still resist the impulse to raise my hands in the air when I hear the intro. Most guitarists (if kind) call this song 'accessible'. Yes, the other songs are better as guitar renditions, but the solo tone on STG is still pretty...
