TL;DR - what are some things you insist on doing/not doing when playing shows that you think are important?
I've been playing a few local-ish "fests" lately with 6-10 bands and I'm starting to think a lot of musicians are really just ignorant assholes all the time. There are few things that I...
Thoughts on the production?
Drums were recorded at a local studio with a killer mic selection and room. We didn’t track a live kick drum, but everything else in the recording is off the mic’s. Toms are enforced with samples of the actual toms from the tracking session. Guitars were recorded...
So I have several Agile 930 guitars with EMG 909 or 909x pickups. I was thinking about some general upgrades to the factory wiring with official solderless stuff. I’m also looking at the 24v mod. For some reason I never really thought about it, but they all are soldered to 500k tone and volume...
...that comes in the floor format with an expression pedal that can do 1/4" and XLR outputs with a constant level at the XLR output?
TL;DR - what other modelers have XLR and 1/4" outs where you can have different levels on each without messing with individual presets?
I've got a project coming...
I want to get a sub for our rehearsal space. We have tracked bass and some LFE and I want to be obnoxious. Right now the PA is two EV ZLX12P on poles and they are plenty loud. The closest matching sub EV makes is not cheap, but since I don’t plan on gigging this setup I think I might be able to...
How does everyone treat their live tones when gigging with a modeler. Not so much what sounds, but building arranging presets. I love tone diving when I'm at home, or just fooling around, but for shows I just have one "kitchen sink" preset with a bunch of snapshots and use it like a pedal...
TL;DR - I think workflow and performance are ALWAYS more important than "professional" gear and sometimes that stuff can be more a distraction to the process than an improvement in sound.
So one of my projects had the opportunity to utilize a well-stocked studio for drum and bass tracking. This...
Dude has some sweet neon graphics counting down the last couple of days. Everyone is speculating Danza Five because there's five skulls in the image....I'm really hoping we're not all getting hyped for a new Emmure album.
What companies are doing things that aren't just variations/copies of existing things or just a gimmick? It seems like most manufacturers are just slightly re-shaping the wheel or doing something like that terrible sounding distortion pedal with the light-up display?
Bonus Question: Of those...
TL;DR: Is the Hipshot 9-string bridge offering anything different than the factory installed bridge on my Agile in regards to large string accommodation?
So, I've been informed that the Hipshot bridge is a direct replacement for the bridge on my new Agile Septor Elite 930, so I'm assuming that...
I've been a long-time user, usually buy in bulk and haven't made an order in about a year. My original account was gone, so I couldn't do a quick re-order. Emailed about it a few weeks ago, never got a response, but saw that they posted a coupon code on FB shortly after I emailed, suggesting...
TLDR - anybody have any insights for editing busy live drums that will maintain the integrity of the room/OH and allow for tight grid editing? If you’re suggestion is “keep it natural” please keep it to yourself.
So I’m working on a project doing drum editing for someone else to mix and the...
So after several battery door replacements and a lot of velcro, my Line 6 G30 crapped out on me. I think I wanna replace it with one of the smaller two-part systems so I can go back to using my Helix backpack instead of hauling my big-ass pedalboard everywhere for shows and I'm curious if anyone...
TL;DR - How do you guys deal with picky band members that have limited/no knowledge of the engineering aspect of recording/mixing when you're working on your own material for little to no money?
So, I imagine a lot of us on this forum record/mix our own music for our various projects. I like...
Thoughts?

I just can't see spending that coin on something that I still need an external controller and EXP pedal for. I'm sure a lot of people are gonna be stoked on it, though.
Anyone own one of the 60W or higher models with the "full-range" speaker system? Curious as to how they sound with music/tracks or if anyone has tried running a modeler into the front end using the "No Amp/No Cab" settings. We've been getting more all-ages/DIY shows lately and my 12" PA speaker...
So this is obviously an ultra-niche request/question:
I have two Agile Interceptor Pro 930 guitars with the Kahler bridges. I tune super, super low and never use the trem, so they are locked down. I'd like to replace the locking nut with a string retainer/zero fret so I can retune my low (seven...
