    Wiring ! when is an upgrade an upgrade?

    I tried these and they are high quality but.. I liked the Bourns because these are low friction. The CTS require a lot more torque. Any way to loosen them up? Or is there an alternative?

    Saw Bonamassa last night

    Seems about right. As I wrote before, very complex setup, lots of different guitars but not a big difference in his lead sound. Also, I find that, when turning down the volume on my guitars, I have a lot more control than he had.

    Saw Bonamassa last night

    Incredible concert. Brilliant songs. Bonamassa is a giant. What struck me though was the sound of his guitars. He used an SG, LP's, ES-355, Strats, Teles and an Explorer. When turning down the volume on the guitars, the character or typical sound of the guitars became more apparent. When turning...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I find that, with every big step in Firmware, I need to do less to adjust for the difference between lo gain pickups and high gain pickups. I used to have to adjust more for switching between SD JB's and SD '59's or '78's.

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    One good thing... I tried to make a preset with two amps, one cab and a mono chorus and it worked surprisingly well. Only tried it at home but I'll give t a try in my rehearsal room. Since I've been without band, I've gotten so much used to the stereo sound that, when I tried it in a band...

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    Same as when summing to mono. Doesn't sound the same as panning hard left and right. Funny enough, when panning amps centre, input cabs on stereo and panning centre, summing to mono sounds exactly the same. So there's a big difference when panning amps and cabs hard left/right and then summing...

    The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

    Strange thing: I have kitchen sink presets with 2 amps, using the same cab IR. When summing to mono, I get some kind of phasing. This is less when I only use the same amps and cabs without any other blocks. But still some phasing . So, I might conclude that 2 amps/cabs panned hard L/R and then...

    AxeFx III died - and was revived

    No, AxeEdit. I used Fractool to check the preset. Strange that in the preset imported with AxeEdit, the amp & cab wer reset. But I suspect that was because they were Global Blocks and I hadn't reloaded the system parameters yet.
