    INSTR Input on front panel died all of a sudden ?

    Anyone got any really good Malmsteen Presets?

    I don't know what preset I got from him (He sent me one, with an IR) But it's really good, much better than the Fractal factory "Yngwie" preset.

    School me on Tele Saddles

    Yeah, there was quite a big difference from the stock Wilkinson bridge. I have to admit though, my main reason for switching it out was that I am a stratplayer (Vintage, 2 point and Floyds) Just could not get used to the edges on a traditional telebridge☺️ But I would never use that Wilkinson...

    New Lari Basilio Signature Ibanez
