    Right-hand picking speed: need serious help!

    What got me over this hump years ago was picking without any anchors. Do the exercises with your wrist floating. It will seem hard and even impossible at first, a great exercise is to alternate pick 3, notes on the E, A, D, G, B, E etc then go to 4 then 5 than 6. Vary to your comfort, and...

    Line 6 PODXT as interface?

    Ok thanks, it will be used for playback. I sold home theater for years, and I know the different processing in those pre amps did effect sound quite a bit, but those were for 7 channel setups not un processed stereo stuff

    Line 6 PODXT as interface?

    As of now, the signal chain is Guitar - > Pod XT - Monitors, the POD is hooked up USB to the computer and I have the audio out set to USB Pod XT. I wasn't sure if the audio processor made a difference in playback, it sounds pretty good though. I only use the monitors for listening to music and...

    Line 6 PODXT as interface?

    Just picked up some Mackie MR5 monitors :hbang: I have been using a Line 6 POD XT for home practice (can't use the stack in an apartment), and I usually practice by choosing the POD as the audio output from my Macbook and play guitar through the POD. As of now the monitors are hooked up to the...

    Diezel VH4S question

    If you cab has a stereo/mono switch, switch it to stereo and run a speaker cable to each input (left/right side of cab will run independently)

    More 5150 problems.....

    lightly tap on each pre amp tube with the eraser end of a pencil while the amp is on, the bad one will be super noticeable. :hbang:

    NGD:SE awesomeness

    love the SE's! I play mine more than my custom shop guitars! Here's a pic of my Fredrik Akesson. Once I replaced the nut with a Tusq nut all the tuning issues went away.

    6505 bias mod.

    I did it, and there is a huge difference in tone - the amp actually has a clean channel now. However I found it sounded best in the 32-34 ma range versus the 38-40 ma that most guys say are ideal, out of the box it was at 8ma which was so cold there was crossover distortion. Gutting all of the...

    Buzzing/Hizzing with my Pedals

    I run a Sanyo Pedaljuice for powering my pedals, the setup time for big gigs was much faster not having to worry about where front of house power is. With that said there is some slight hiss, when I run the 1 spot it gets really bad. Those pedaltrain/voodoo labs power supplies seem to be the...

    "EMGs make everything sound the same"

    Three of my guitars have EMGs, they all sound very different. The Eclipse and the Neck thru superstrat have the 81 in the bridge, and the sound is so different I have to re eq when I run them. Have been using the 57/66 set and it's killer. The LP has a Duncan custom 5 in the bridge and sounds...

    Need a new amplifier, any suggestions?

    Friend just grabbed a Laney Ironheart for $500 on ebay... Sounds killer with a boost. If I had the cash I'd get a Randall 667 (Fortin Meathead). Running a 6505 that's been bias modded with a custom tube set from Doug's and it sounds killer though.

    Peavey XXX cab with 6505/5150?

    The JSX cabs were cool, they had direct outs I think? A friend of mine tours professionally with a larger metal band really likes her Mesa cab. You guys convinced me to stay with this until I can afford a Splawn! lol

    Peavey XXX cab with 6505/5150?

    Cool! Thanks for the replies. I took the back off mine and it was built pretty well, after tightening all the screws it's a little tighter. I took the Peavey logo off for that reason, they grey looks cool with the 6505 in a live in case. :yesway:

    Peavey XXX cab with 6505/5150?

    Hi all, I'm new here so be easy on me. Was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the Peavey XXX cab? I run a modded 6505 and I've been using this cab with it for a while, was thinking of switching to a different cab as the general consensus of Peavey cabs is that they are "crap". I ran...
