    Will an 8 string blow my amp?

    Honestly, I almost gave up on this forum a while back after some of the flippant and close minded remarks in this thread. There are too many variables and it would be wrong to give a definite 'no' answer. Pretty sure I summed this up in post #18. At least it is nice to see that there are...

    Quantizing Guitar and Bass

    Nice to see you at least considered my point. Getting four (or more) very complex rhythm tracks to align well does take some transient shifting in many cases... particularly where you are quad-tracking with different picks, pickup positions, etc, and it is a complex arrangement in general...

    SD2.0 users: do you process your drums in your DAW or in the SD plugin?

    Multi-out with SD2 to individual DAW tracks and process within the DAW - for sure. Some of the 'producer presets' for the SD2 kits are reasonable starting points, but you will still want to have that extra layer of control with the DAW / 3rd party plugs. If you can help it, don't bounce...

    Quantizing Guitar and Bass

    Not sure whether anyone 'won' at answering the guy's question.... unless there is some sort of latent bravado award up for grabs?

    Quantizing Guitar and Bass

    Quad-tracking is effectively the reason why most big producers actually do sync transients on complex tracks to retain tightness. I see these things as going hand-in-hand. I would agree that there should be no need to edit this way with only single or double tracked rhythm parts if the...

    Manuals or Instruction Help for FREENOTE Microtonal Guitar Technique & Guitar Theory

    I like microtonal theory as it keeps things interesting. I have a fretless bass - it's 'infinite-tonal'

    What about a maple fretboard with black inlays?

    Quantizing Guitar and Bass

    You can detect and shift transients around quite easily in Logic - have not tried quantizing, but it will sync instruments tracks nicely to add tightness. Not sure whether this helps you at all though (unless you export those tracks into a Logic session for this purpose). Actually, I have a...

    Small & affordable SS/tube amp for metal

    There are some reasonable mini amps around which are geared towards metal - they are loud enough to rehearse and even gig with in some cases (miced up of course). Sounds like you will need an fx loop for the delay. Mesa (Mini-Recto), Krank (Krankenstein Jr) and Engl (Gigmaster) all make...

    Anybody use a Mark V with Lundgrens/30" scale 8s?

    I don't know a great deal about Meshugguah's actual production techniques, but I would image that the mix has a lot to do with it - possibly difficult to compare (or achieve) with a raw amp sound?

    Anybody use a Mark V with Lundgrens/30" scale 8s?

    It's frustrating when most consumer grade guitar amp gain structures and EQ sections don't really cater for ERGs isn't it? Cab and speaker design also plays a huge role in getting the most out of an ERG. Whilst pickup manufacturers cater for ERG fairly well because the R&D costs were...

    DC800 Picture thread!!

    Yes, ferrules. That was the term I was looking for. I don't like it when they are not recessed, but like I said - beautiful guitar nonetheless.

    Incredible work. Hope it plays as well as the originals.

    I hate when the rear string cavities aren't recessed into the body.

    Will an 8 string blow my amp?

    I'm not missing any point and I know a fair bit about amp design. I think you are trying to simplify what I am saying. I don't suggest that an ERG 'will' necessarily damage anything, but I suppose that the responsible answer to a question asked about possible damage is: 'yes, there is a...

    Will an 8 string blow my amp?

    I suppose it depends on the application. If you are just jamming occasionally at reasonable volumes and happy to 'flub flub flub' away - it probably won't cause any huge issues. You may start to see some amp manufacturers engineering them with EQ and filters designed with ERG / lower freqs...

    Ernie Ball 8 String Slinky 10-74 Set. What are you guys using?

    If only they did a 9-42 + 54 + 74 set... this is close though and probably the best pre-packaged set for long scale 8's.
