    If only Kirk hadn’t lost his phone.

    Black Clouds - New distortion pedal from DSM & Humboldt

    DSM & Humboldt - Black Clouds If the Black Clouds does hi-gain as well as the Silver Linings does drive, then I think I found my replacement for the Ceres/Eros combo I just sold. Almost ordered one earlier today, but have decided to wait for more demos before pushing the button.

    Strap locks - preferences?

    Loxx Love the low profile on guitars where the strap button is on the back of the neck joint.

    Any love for purple guitars? please share yours?

    Posted this one several times before, but it's the only purple guitar I own. My '92 USA Rhoads:

    [Discussion] How to know if we need a Floyd Rose Guitar?

    Sure, it takes a bit longer to change the tuning on a Floyd Rose, but the locking nut makes it possible to go from heavy to light strings and vice versa without having to modify/replace the nut, and it's really easy to adjust the height of the nut by adding/removing shims. If you don't have a...

    Love it! Maybe Dave can help with the black parts: https://www.fretsonthenet.com/Charvel_Jackson/jackson import.htm The plates and pickup rings he made for my Rhoads looks amazing.

    Best Thrash in a pedal?

    If you are looking for at preamp to use with a poweramp/cab or IR's then definitely the KSR Ceres.

    Tremolo pedal suggestions?

    I love my RevivalTREM! It only does bias tremolo, and it's my first tremolo pedal, so can't really compare it to anything. It's actually a brownface amp in a box since they couldn't emulate the bias tremolo without emulating the entire amp. Sounds great before a clean'ish preamp or on it's own...

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    I have hundreds of different IR's (plus the cabs from Two Notes) and I know all about how much an IR can change the sound. But I don't agree with you that different cabs will "have a way bigger result on the sound than changing the preamp". My experience is that preamps and IR's are about...

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    Took me a while, but finally decided to order one of these yesterday. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for all your suggestions.

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    I'm not that impressed with the amp sounds I hear on Youtube. The effects sound good though. I also wasn't a fan of the high gain sounds in the old Eleven Rack.

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    Will definitely check out the ISP Theta if I see a used one at a fair price.

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    Don't really need/want a combo, when I have the Powercab+.

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    Thanks. Problem was that when I got the low end where I wanted it, then the sound was way too clanky for my liking. I've spend hours trying to make it work. I will consider buying the Pro-II when it comes out. I'm hoping it can sound good without power amp simulation, since I really want to get...

    Deciding on a mid-range guitar amp/effect modeling floorboard

    I have a pedalboard with a Boss ES-5 and a Strymon Iridium, that I’m really happy with for clean to low/medium gain stuff. I only play at home and run it through headphones, desktop speakers and my Powercab+. I then got an Amptweaker Tightmetal JR and paired it up with my C.A.B. M hoping that...

    Anyone have experience with FGN guitars?

    I have a 24.75" scale FGN Neo Classic hss strat model (ncst-m10m), that I bought from Japan back in 2013. The built quality is on the same level as most Ibanez Prestige I have owned/played over the years. The pickups are ok, but not great. The singlecoils has a vintage stagger, that makes no...
