Have you delved into pickup swaps?

Over the past 20 ( or so ) years I've basically had four ( 4 ) guitars that I considered my # 1 .... Everyone of them went through a pickup metamorphosis at least once ! Jackson PC-1 - I loved the sustainer ..., but never bonded w/ the original DiMarzio® Super 3™ in the Bridge, or the...

Looking for any EVENTIDE presets

Also didn't @2112 do some YouTube vids about the Axe-Fx matching the H9 ? Maybe check Axe-Change too ?

NGD: Budda gets more Historic

Tell it brother ..., I just bought a set w/ the 50's wiring harness for my historic ! And FWIW I'm pulling a set of Wolfetones because the Throbaks sounded better ( more authentic ) in a test LP that I had a chance to play.

Use Your Illusion cab ir

O.K., so let me start by saying I am SO not a Slash tone aficionado .... I appreciate his tone, I've just never chased after it ! Anyway ..., I compared this to @2112 's LT TVMix 7 ( which is my typical go-to for Marshalls ) and it compares very nicely ! Can you tell us what type of speaker...

5150 Rhythm Crunch Channel

Yup ! I tried this channel w/ @2112 's "pre-rola" Celestion Greenback from 1969 and it's heaven ! I can't wait for him to shoot more angles and mics ! If he'd release a pack I'd certainly buy it ( hint, hint ! ) ....

Whats the deal with James Tyler guitars?

The rumor always was that "James hated Floyds" ..., I guess that's why there aren't very many of them around ? And I am definitely partial to the "Secret" ..., it seems like a very nice "hot" PAF to my ears ....

Whats the deal with James Tyler guitars?

Years ago when I decided that I really didn’t care for Tyler’s neck …, I asked Jim to build me a wiring harness based on his Studio Elite ( I even asked for the slanted bridge pickup ) …, and I installed it on a guitar w/ a neck that I did like ! Anyway …, the bridge pickup started out w/ the...

Whats the deal with James Tyler guitars?

Everyone seems to rave about the necks .... But IMHO they do need to be "played in" just like any other "new" guitar ! I had opportunity to play one at a high-end guitar boutique in Milwaukee and my feeling was "meh" .... For all the hype, the neck felt stiff and unresponsive ( most likely...
