Thanks guys! Definitely appreciate the listens!

Thanks dude! Much appreciated. Do you play around here too?

Hey ya'll - I wrote and recorded a metal version of Dream On for my band. Doing it and dissecting a lot of the chord structures actually gave me a ton of respect for Steven Tyler... I was surprised because he's kind of a giant douche. Anyway, would love any feedback. Thanks guys...

WHAT SAY YE?! :hbang: But seriously - anyone have strong opinion about these? I had some Line 6 ToneCore pedals back when I was a noob, and they literally just stopped working a month into having them. Not trying to drop 600 bucks on a rack that's shit. I'm interested in having a GOOD amp...

hmmm... looks like i have more research to do! thanks!

Guys, thank you for all the great suggestions. This is a lot to go on and I'm going to do a lot of research based on what you've all sent.

Hahahaha. That's too funny, I was kind of thinking that as well :P. I tried one in a shop and that was enough for me. So what is an Eleven Rack? I've been looking for used Standards or lesser versions and can't find any! People eat them up :P

Yeah I was thinking about the Pod. I'm not a big fan of the Spyder models for some reasons. A big part of this is that I'm moving into a condo, so I need to be able to play tones at lower volumes with no drop in quality.

What are alternatives to the Axe-FX? I'm looking for a standalone head unit, that can be used to go direct into my recording rig or go live either direct into PA or an amp cab with through a poweramp. Anything with effects and amp models that's worth the money? i have pretty high standards...

basically what i want to use an axe-fx for is a substitute for an amp head. So i would go [axe-fx] => [power amp] => [cab]. my question is, how exactly do you plug the axe-fx into a power amp? most of the power amps i see have a single input, and it looks like the axe-fx only has stereo...

thanks gents.

anyone know any techniques to do this? mine is totally ratty and rusty. i have an ESP M-II with a bolt-on neck. i'm assuming you need a vice grip or something to maintain the tension on the guitar while you take the strings and springs off to prevent bowing. is this something i should take to...

6. profit? :agreed:

i'm sure that EZ has some packs that have some cool backing tracks, but typically the drums only come with drums. it sounds to me like you're looking for specific sounds that might be better created in a digital audio workstation (logic, protools, presonus, etc). what you're looking for is...

i've been trying to do this as well actually. the problem is i've always been an extremely slow writer, and a crazy perfectionist. things just naturally take longer, so this doesn't exactly help. of course, i know you can't crunch out creativity. i think it's interesting that some people...

yeah, not to shit on it, but USB isn't usually a good choice for any live recording (unless it's 3.0). Though on paper USB2.0 is faster than something like firewire, it relies on computer queries to exchange information - you have a give and take process through your wire basically. if you had a...

damn i'm thinking of getting an ibanez. i'm surprised all that distortion is digital! so did you just take a track of the actual song and layer over it?

how do you guys like to shape your songs? do you like to start with a riff and then shape your sections and themes off of that riff? or do you like to come up with a riff, use it as an idea to create themes, and then try to write to the themes? i've been trying to think of songs holistically...
