    Amp for Petrucci/Satch Tone (budget)

    For the JSX, I could afford the combo, or the head but i wouldn't have much to go with for a cab. So is the combo good enough? Also, should I consider the XXX as well given I heard it is similar? Looks like a DS-1 would be a good purchase too. Mesa mark III combo looks good, hard to find in...

    Amp for Petrucci/Satch Tone (budget)

    So. I'm looking for an amp that can get a clean tone similar to John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, or Scale the Summit's tone (almost acoustic sounding, glassy cleans), as well as a Satch, Steve Vai, or Petrucci (Images and Words era) lead tone (nice and smooth), and a Dream Theater type rythm...

    NGD Used JP70

    So I got my first seven string a couple days ago! A used Sterling by Music Man JP70 John Petrucci signature! (Long post below) The guitar is in excellent condition, almost mint, but the strap buttons were swapped out by the previous owner. Not a big fan of the strap buttons that are in it right...

    Advice on a first 7 string?

    K thanks everyone! I just purchased a used JP70 for a steal of $350. It is undamaged, plays great, got it from guitar center. I tried a few other 7's that were mentioned on this thread, but the JP was my favorite overall- great tone, looks good, plays great- and they happened to have a used...

    My Intro

    Hey guys, I'm relatively new here and have only made a couple posts, so I may as well introduce myself. I got my first guitar, a cheap squire 6 string, about a year and a half ago to see if I would enjoy learning to play, and I love it. I got a decent acoustic guitar a little while afterwards...

    New Dream Theater song - The Gift of Music

    I like it a lot. More than their last album, the mix seems better. Drums especially are better, but they are still not perfect. Or rather, they feel TOO perfect and triggered, Mangini is a great drummer but he just doesn't have to groove that Portnoy does. Otherwise, an excellent song. Typical DT.

    Neil Peart retires from music

    Very sad to hear this, as I'm a big Rush fan and never got to see them live (although I almost made to the last show on R40, now I'm beating myself up for not making it happen). However, they might not be completely done: Geddy Lee clarifies Peart retirement rumours - Prog

    A new 7-string prog rock/metal instrumental video from my band. Yay or nay?

    Really good! Definitely reminds me of a dream theater epic, like in the presence of enemies pt. 1 kind of.

    Advice on a first 7 string?

    The Damien Platinum looks awesome, although I'm not too sure about the bat inlays yet. Maybe they will grow on me,maybe not. The Elite-7 also looks good, I will add those two to the list. There is a guitar center somewhat near me, but as far as the website says they only have one or two 7...

    Advice on a first 7 string?

    Also, does anyone have any experience with the ESP LTD MH-417? Its a little pricier, but its got EMG pickups which I have been looking to try out, a mahogany body, which is a step up from basswood, and I dig the simple control layout. It also just looks badass.

    My Pakistani Prog Metal/Djent band just released a song. Please give it a listen.

    This sounds awesome man! I love prog metal, especially instrumental or with clean vocals (not a fan of harsh vocals haha) and you guys sound great! Let me know when you release the EP, I will check it out!

    Advice on a first 7 string?

    Thanks guys. Which schecters would you recommend specifically? As far as features I'm not too picky and practically every guitar in this price range seems to have a basswood body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard. For pickups go I'm not too concerned because I might change them out and...
