    Need some advice on in ear monitors for new symphonic band

    I've been playing guitar/music for a while but I've always relied on stage monitors/sound, but now I've finally got a roster of musicians for my symphonic death metal band to start playing shows and I realize that because we need to play to the backing track that has all the orchestral stuff on...

    Questions about using remote switching on a Mesa Rectifier

    Thank you for the rundown, I don't know why I thought it'd be more complicated that that. I'm not sure what exactly it's doing but it works as intended. I have it set up where I can use the full footswitch if I want to (though for this application I only use it to engage the "Solo" and "FX Loop"...

    Questions about using remote switching on a Mesa Rectifier

    Howdy, Had a few questions for those who might know about this stuff. I'm riding the Fortin hypetrain and picked up a 33 pedal to boost my Mesa Triple Rectifier Solo Head 150w. I intend to use the remote switching ability of the 33 pedal to get back and forth to my channel 1 (clean) and channel...

    Advice on running samples live

    Howdy, I have a symphonic melodic death metal band and no keyboardist to play any of the orchestral stuff live. I have zero experience with what I'm trying to do so I'm hoping you guys can help. Where do I start? Do I just have a prerecorded track with all the parts and have a drummer play to a...

    Guitar cabinet wattage vs. head wattage

    So I can run a cable from one 8ohm cab to the other and then run that into the back of the head at 16ohms?

    Guitar cabinet wattage vs. head wattage

    Howdy lads, I don't know shit about cabinets or most gear that isn't guitars so I figured this would be a good place to ask. Someone I know wants to sell me two vertical Mesa Rectifier 2x12 cabs (old school 90's ones I'll attach pics) that appear to be 140w each. I'm currently using a Mesa...

    Chasing a specific clean tone...

    I've managed to get a confident grasp of my Mesa Triple Rectifier's EQ and,gain staging as it applies to high gain metal tones but I still know very little about the clean channel. I'm not sure if it's the right term, but I believe what I'm looking to attain is a "glassy" clean tone. I know in...

    NGD: Epiphone Les Paul Custom 7 (Matt Heafy sig)

    If I ever see another one I'll buy it in a heartbeat. This one is great but needs a little TLC. That tobacco burst finish is beautiful in person. It's pretty heavy. My 28" scale Schecter 8 string weighs about 9 or 10lbs and this actually feels heavier when I'm holding it by the neck joint...

    NGD: Epiphone Les Paul Custom 7 (Matt Heafy sig)

    When I was 19, I found an old 2002~ Epiphone Les Paul Classic 7 in a music shop and it was one of the best and definitely my favorite seven string I ever owned. I even posted it on this forum http://sevenstring.org/threads/ngd-epiphone-les-paul-7-56k-lol.94113/ I sold it to find my first eight...

    Replacing a Tune-O-Matic bridge

    The form requires a picture of the hardware, which I don't have unless they're looking for a product image of the guitar itself?

    Replacing a Tune-O-Matic bridge

    With one exception I've always used either Floyd Rose or Hipshot's fixed bridges on my guitars. I recently purchased an Epiphone Les Paul 7 string (the Matt Heafy sig, not the old ones from the 00's). I'm still waiting for it to arrive so I wanted to pick up some new components for it (graphtech...

    For those who run Mesa Rectifiers

    I was at my local music store putting money down on something I ordered and the guy there was talking to me about a Diamond Loop Switch pedal he had that he claimed would do that but seemed unclear as to how I would connect it it to do what I'm trying to do. What do you run the cable from the...

    For those who run Mesa Rectifiers

    I've had my Mesa Triple Rectifier for a few years now but there's one issue I'm having that I don't know what to do about. I saw that Fortin's new 33 od pedal also has a feature where in the demo they set it up where when he turns the od on it switches to the red channel and when he turns it...

    Tube question / amp problem [Mesa Triple Rec]

    Howdy, I have a Mesa Triple Rec and I replaced all the preamp, power and rectifier tubes just over a year ago. Played a show on Thursday and no issues, hooked my setup back up at home last night and nothing. When everything is hooked up there's no guitar noise, but when I roll the master up the...

    Questions concerning Mesa 4x12 cabs...

    That is handy because I often can't hear myself and if anything the recto is so tight that I'm looking to loosen and round it out slightly.
