    I feel like its the neck I´m not comfortable with. Maybe I should have bought a LP with a 60s neck, they are slimmer I believe. But I´m no LP expert at all. I thought I had to have a LP because a couple of my favorite guitarists play LPs and I like the sound of it, but not when I play it. Seems...

    FWIW, I put Aldrich PUs in my R9 because I didn´t like the Custombuckers. I have the Aldrichs in another guitar, a custombuilt superstrat where I love them.

    Thoughts about Gr Guitar AT G210A ST

    I never said the GRs sounded bad, just not as good as the CLRs that are on par with my Adam studio monitors. Never heard the new Fenders, would be interesting to compare. But I´m done with buying FRFR monitors, I own 3 pairs now...doesn´t get better than CLRs.

    Thoughts about Gr Guitar AT G210A ST

    You´re welcome. Main point for me getting these was the almost laughable weight for gigging, the audio quality is good enough as a backline. CLRs are more satisfying for home or studio use, I even used them for a rough mix at the rehearsal studio and it translated very well to my home studio...

    Thoughts about Gr Guitar AT G210A ST

    I have low cut at 80 Hz and high cut somewhere between 7 and 8 kHz. I believe it feels more like a guitar cab, regardless if it´s the GR or CLR.

    FM3 vs Quad Cortex

    I think the main downside of the FM3 is you can´t run 2 amp blocks in parallel (somebody correct me if this has changed since the Turbo). And it only has 3 knobs. If you need more you have to buy a FC6 or whatever. I´m a Fractal guy since 2009 so I´m certainly biased. Nonetheless I bought one of...
