    8 string guitar amps

    I didn't say anything about being superior.... Your the one throwing around terms like touring musician. We can agree to disagree, I am in no way attempting to personally attack you. If that's the way you take it then my apologies. Enjoy your pod and keep tweaking. Sorry dude. I get a...

    Save me before I give up 8 strings!

    This is good advice. I love having the fifth of low e, but I like F# too, and don't feel bad, not many people can claim to play like tosin, the messiah, but we try. Hell I don't come even close.... Try learning scales that extend to the lower register, also chords, that will make you more...

    8 string guitar amps

    If you read my posts you would know I am out of town. When I get back in country, I'd be happy to show you what face melting tone sounds like ;) and if you've made better recordings, why wouldn't you post those.... That would have been a much easier way to shut me up rather than having to...

    8 string guitar amps

    I can see that, its the word slays... to me it basically means that the tone is just face meltingly, brain numbing, make you shit your pants awesome. I took it as my acura is so fast I pull 4g s and blast off into the atmosphere reaching geosync orbit on a single tank of regular unleaded! But...

    That's what I was getting at. Wasn't saying it doesn't work, just that its not THAT good. I guess I wast as tactful.

    8 string guitar amps

    Man I didn't pay anywhere near that much. And a mesa dual rec slays the pod too, and I bought mine for 800. I do agree with you that if you want a specific tone, you'll have to do research, and yes you don't need a specific amp for F#, and for a couple hundred bucks, you can't best the pod...

    8 string guitar amps

    Note, on a budget, you can't beat it.. my previous statement was for the argument that the pod is better than high end equipment, it may be a better value, but it cannot compare to good amps and modelling, no offense to anyone who uses a pod.

    8 string guitar amps

    To each his own, but like I said, I've got a 2 pods and they have their uses, but, they aren't great.... your tone is alright..... but ill tell you what, I've got lundgrens in my rg.2228 and it can make anything sound better. All I can say is that your second guitarist must not know crap about...

    8 string guitar amps

    BBut let's face it... a pod just cannot sound as good as a higher quality piece of equipment. place it next to a diezel vh4 or engl invader and tell me they don't wipe the floor with the pod. And the axe fx giveaway you direct recording with the sound and feel of a tube amp. when you play...

    8 string guitar amps

    It really just depends on your ear.... if you think it sounds good, then fine. It's not about what you use, its about how it sounds to you. I love the pod for anything like drop d or c standard, it can sound really good for a few hundred bucks. But I am ocd about my tone, and i hear all,kinds...

    8 string guitar amps

    I have two versions of pod, and the low end is as flabby and loose as a Vegas card hookers vagina. It sounds like dog sh*t. There is virtually no definition. You can make it sound ok if you are a god at equalizing, but slays? Mmmmm no. Get an axe fx with a vht power amp, or something like...

    Where to buy angled pickups

    I have a bass pickups in my current 8 fanned, they are articulate,but don't give the tone I would like.... it does work though. I got the idea off this forum. I've been a reader for a few years, I just never posted mainly cuz at the time, I didn't know my a** from a hole on the ground.

    Where to buy angled pickups

    I just hit up guitar logistics, waiting on sound clips for evaluation, but dang they are expensive.... like 600 for a pair it looks like.... way more than bkp or lundgrens... but at least they do multiscale, and full custom, which means they should be able to create whatever sound you could...

    Where to buy angled pickups

    I guess, I haven't tried it. I personally am a hater when it comes to emg and SD. I have owned both and liked them till I tried lundgrens and bkp. I don't like actives either, but to each his own. I was just making a point at the lack of multiscale pickup options.... I also don't even play...

    Where to buy angled pickups

    No doubt! I'm not knocking the use of fanned sixers for sure! But man it is so hard to find good pickups for multiscale instruments. And the painkillers in my six and my coldsweats I'm my rg 2228 are AWESOME! And I can't have either in my fanned instruments. I have been trying for weeks to...

    Where to buy angled pickups

    My hands definitely don't get fatigued as quickly on a fanned instrument. But is that worth the trouble finding good pickups, or the crap loads of extra money I spent on it? Hello no. Bkp and lundgren will not do multiscale pickups..... as far as I know emg and SD don't do them either.

    Where to buy angled pickups

    I did not find that to be the case, currently owning both fanned and standard sixers, on a seven, sure. I am currently selling my fanned six, just cuz the money was not worth what I thought it would do. I'm not saying that some people wouldn't prefer a fanned six, I'm just saying, I loved...
