    Tonex One leaked?

    If they would've made it the size of a Boss pedal with at least 1/8 TRS midi I'd be on board. But I'm just gonna grab a used ToneX Pedal or get a Zzounds payment deal when my interface is paid down. It's impressive if you're only switching it or using it for mid gain then pouring on the boost...

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    Well for drop D I can see why those would be a bit much. I was in D standard and drop C. The EB 8 string set I used to use for 7's was crazy when I was in standard with a Drop A, 10-54 for the first 6. I only got it cause i wanted the 74. But after a while I stopped being a caveman and went down...

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    I used to like 11-54. The gauges vary so wildly, you're right. But in my ole drop C metal band I was the guy that played most of the cleans. Hated the 22 (or 24in the 12-56 set) that came as a G cause it was so dull and lifeless. There was a D Addario set I would always snag but rarely saw...

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    I always hated referring to the high string as the reference for the set, never made sense to me. 9's? 9 to what? 9-42 or 9-49, that's a major difference. 10-46 or 10-52? Again, a hell of a difference. Back in "the day" I guess it always meant 9-42 or 10-46, but I never really used those sets or...

    Helix 3.5 just dropped

    Well the problem was needing 2 blocks was kinda dumb, just need an effects loop (one block). I figured it out. Turned the Mix down to 0 which is odd. Never had to do that before. Figure it would be the opposite.

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    I'm with the others on 10-52 in D standard and drop C. It's a bit much for my 7 in drop A, but I don't wanna jump from a 46 to a 68 or 70 to keep tension on the low A. I need to try a 64 again. All those years I was buying the 8 string pack and not using those, lol. I should have a stockpile but...

    Helix 3.5 just dropped

    Got a weird issue with my Helix Rack. I might have posted a thread before but it got no answers. My loops don't seem to work. Not unless I set up a send block and return block. I've tried flipping them from instrument to line and back. Very low output can barely be heard from the cab. Running my...

    Dealing with edge of break up sound

    Since being stuck in Snapshot land in the Helix Ecosphere the last 4 years, I've had to find one amp to do it all. Going from clean to dirty parts al lot for covers or originals. Some you can turn the gain down on and it works out great. The Badonk is the best example. The Ventaux can go the...

    To those that have moved on from a Tube amp to a SS/modeling rig.

    Get out of my head! My first tube amp was the same one. JCM900 mkiii. I always kept the diode gain off, regular gain halfway, and boosted it with guess what... A soundtank TS9 lol. It chirped like a car alarm when i hit the switch for some reason. It was all I could afford. I got the Marshall...

    What is your favorite wah in 2024?

    I just like the standard voiced Crybaby. Do they make an auto return version? I had a 535Q a while back and could never dial it in the way I liked the standard. Still have 2 Behringer Hellbabes and I have the same problem with dialing in a sweep I like. I never hated Morleys, maybe I'll try a...

    Are tube amps the new vinyl?

    I've always run a hybrid setup. Tubes for my benefit and digital direct for the club. I've done way too many shows where the sound guy told me "sorry, the monitors on this side of the stage aren't working tonight." Or the time I played an Akron club where they just redid the stage and live...

    NGD: the usual suspects

    I need to find someone to trade my Power Station for one of those. I'd rock that setup all day. Those Peavey cabs are a steal with birch ply and Greenbacks.

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    I meant buying into Synergy, as well as my RM100 needing repaired. And also my Peavey Ultra needs recapped as well, random crackling and I've rolled all the tubes in and out. But if I get started into the RM100 resurrection, I'm gonna be doing the Yunio dual channel mod and will need a new set...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Definitely considering a ToneX Pedal to stave off my desire to have my amps fixed. Stay digital and light with my Helix. It's great but variety and the chance to have a bunch of other stuff at my fingertips that I won't need to buy and stop GAS. Plus I can do way more and fit everything I want...

    Helix 3.70 out now

    My next step is going to be putting more blocks on 1 path so I can do preset changes again. That way I can load up a clean patch with the all the "accoutrement" fancy stuff and not load up everything in one patch cause its too much. My crunch patch could be a Marshall type and my heavy rhythm a...
