    Stefan Kostaras- A Change In Perspective (FFO: Andy McKee, Candycat)Acoustic/Ambient

    Obviously some non-metal content right here- but I thought you'd all appreciate it! Been recording with this dude for roughly a year now honing in on his vision of an instrumental acoustic sound, a la Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour, Mike Dawes, etc. ! We just recently wrapped the project and...

    Recommend some pedals for a clean amp rig

    Grab yourself a tubescreamer and go from there! It's more of a boost than distortion but a little bit goes a long way. adds a ton of sustain

    Bugera 6260

    You really cannot beat the price for what you are getting, and honestly, the critical attention on reliability was from their first few runs of the amps, the Infinum Bugeras are infinitely better as far as reliability goes from what i've read. Having said that my 6262 was pre-Infinuim and...

    Bugera 6260

    I played and gigged with a 6262 for about 4 years. Our other guitarist was running a 6505 and we both ran through Mesa 4x12's. aaaaand our tone was identical. I originally picked up the 6262 with the intention to upgrade to the 6505 down the road, never did just because the price difference...

    Wireless help

    I had a Line 6 Relay G50 and loved it! If I had to do it again, i'd get the G30- the unit you're actually looking at getting. The g30 cable is a 1/4 -> 1/4 which is great. The g50 and g90 uses some specialized 3-prong cable that you can't really find anywhere unless you buy directly through...

    Getting serious about recording. Pod X3 or VST/IR?

    There are so many great VST's out there today like all of the LePou and TSE stuff, and even more that I can't remember off the top of my head. Combined with impulses of your choice the tonal possibilities are endless. I'd say unless you're getting an Axe FX or some other sort of high end...

    Best amp for metal

    If you're going to be in an apartment it's probably the best choice to take the digital route as you won't be able to push a tube amp to it's maximum potential in such small quarters without ticking off the neighbors. The Axe Fx is probably the best at doing that. The unit offers a lot of...

    Good clean tube amp for pedals under $700

    I really loved my 1st gen Carvin Legacy- the cleans are seriously gorgeous and the amp was super versatile. Looked dead sexy as well

    Ear protection

    I've used hearos as well for ages now and haven't looked back since. I'd even go as far as saying it improves the sound more than it just blocks it out- the way they're designed makes it block out the harsher frequencies that generally tend to cause issues.

    The Devin Townsend Supermegathread!

    I've always felt every dev album has brought something new to the table..was expecting this with epicloud and I was honestly left more than satisfied! The record truly is EPIC and LOUD. I love the whole new "uplifting" sound he's crafted on this one.

    My band finally has a new song up (Progressive Deathcore content)

    Dig it! Very varied and well written. Getting a human abstract vibe on some of the parts. Keep it up!

    Palm mute = Too loud?

    Sounds very unusual, don't think i've ever heard anything like that before. You should probably start by attempting to isolate the issue- plug your guitar into a different amp and see if the problem still persists. If it does, then you know the issue is coming from the guitar itself and...

    Using Line 6 Pod Farm live - Does it work?

    Yeah, you could do it that way or run it direct into house via the interface. I saw a post rock/alt band do it a few years ago, was pretty sick. They had all of their patch changes going through pro tools and im pretty sure the guitarist was using pod farm going into a power amp and cab...
