    How good is the Crybaby From Hell's buffer?

    Hey, I'm about to build a minimalist pedal setup for my studio. EQ and boost will go on my desk and I'd - ideally - have zero pedals on the floor. However, I love wah pedals - and I want a buffer at the start of my chain. Herein lies the challenge. Typically, I'd start with a Boss TU3, but I...

    Does a preamp pedal serve any purpose in front of an audio interface and amp sim?

    Hey, here's my setup and flow... - Guitar - Crybaby Mini 535Q - Boss TU3 - TC Electronic Spark - MXR 10-band EQ - Audient Evo 8 audio interface - MacBook/Ableton/various amp sims Noise gates and all time-based FX are handled in Ableton. I travel a lot, and I'm fairly minimalist, so huge amp...

    VIDEO: Can digital nomads enjoy guitar? (Apogee Jam + TSE X50)

    Hey, we just recorded a documentary about our life in Bali as digital nomads. I was keen to bring some electric guitars into the mix and show how you can travel, live anywhere and still play/record professionally, with modern technology. Shot using an Apogee Jam 96K with TSE X50 amp sim in...

    iOS app to play my drum loops while I practice?

    Hey, JamUp Pro is wicked for practising in my hotel room with my iPad and speakers. I’m just missing beats. All I want is a simple app that plays my folders of WAV drum breaks over Audiobus while JamUp Pro runs. No interest in apps that play their own drums. I want to use mine, on loop. Any...

    TSE X50: Left/Right guitar tracks.. AND stereo?

    Hey, obviously having two guitars playing a similar riff, panned mainly left and mainly right sounds awesome. Also, TSE X50 allows you to use two impulse files on a guitar tone, which is great. Condenser and dynamic, for example. Plus, I can decide if I want these mono, stereo or dual stereo...

    Zoom U-22 and U-24?

    Hey, I'm off travelling in two weeks and have distilled my setup down to a PRS SE Custom 24, Pedaltrain Nano and MacBook Pro. I need a new audio interface though. My TC Electronic Konnkt 8 interface is real solid; but just too big and heavy. I feel the oblong box with knobs/inputs on...

    Rate my Nano Pedalboard plan, for big crunch and soundscapes

    Hey, I've recently downsized to a Pedaltrain Nano+, for a setup that's travelling around the world with me, for recording into my MacBook and into various amps. The two main roles are driving my tone (Spark and modded Boss GE7) and massive soundscapes (Trinity 2), but obviously I need...

    Eventide H9.. do I need two?

    If I buy an Eventide H9, how irritating will I find it that I can't run reverb and delay at the same time?

    Check my setup for travelling.. (and Eventide H9?)

    Hey, I'm six weeks from moving to Sydney, Australia from Cambridge, UK, with my girlfriend. We're moving mainly for lifestyle reasons; fitness, sport and especially surfing. While I'm out there I'm keen to build on my work recording soundtracks with Red Bull so far and find more musicians with...

    Confused over pot sizes for PRS lampshade knobs.

    Hey, I'm a bit confused over which pot dimensions fit the PRS lampshade knobs best. I have a PRS SE Custom 24 (2014) which came with the 3-way toggle and push/pull coil-split. I have since purchased the PRS lampshade knobs (which must be USA, by default?) and they fit on these knobs...

    Travelling and recording guitars with just an Apogee Jam?

    Hey, I record guitars with beats and have recently worked with a producer, for Red Bull. I'm off to Australia for at least a year and need to go mobile. I'll be recording guitars with VSTs, collaborating with my producer (who will re-amp my guitar-work in his studio) and networking with...

    5-way superswitch + push/pull for HH guitar.. similar to Herman Li's 'Egan' Ibanez?

    Hi, I have a PRS SE Custom 24 which I'm rewiring, ahead of taking it to Australia as my only guitar (planning to buy an Ibanez 7-string on arrival!). The PRS has dual 4-wire humbuckers that I'd like to match with a versatile, although intuitive pickup selection system. It currently has a...

    Why distortion pedals?

    Sorry, I'm sure I've posted about this before, but I still don't get it. Dirty tones come from an overdriven amp. Tube amps, especially, produce great dirty tones. You can use a boost pedal to push the signal so it's hotter, resulting in a more saturated tone. Why do distortion...

    'Designed to address the many problems native to the standard 19th-century jack design, the Pure Tone Jack contains dual-tension grounds and dual-positive tips for optimal signal and lowest possible noise. 'Greater surface area at all contact points creates a more stable connection, locking...

    Fender compound radius neck for my Telecaster HH?

    Hey, I have a Fender Telecaster HH (spiritual successor to the Blacktop) which I've upgraded with a Hipshot bridge, locking tuners, graphite bridge, ceramic bridge pickup and PAF neck pickup. Currently tuned to Drop C, this is my sleeper guitar (looks vintage, plays brutal). One thing I'm...

    Ideal string gauge for Drop C @ 25.5"?

    Hey, as posted elsewhere, I've recently been using string gauge calculators and have realised that drop-tuning most packs of strings results in the 6th string being 2-3 pounds lighter; something I assumed to be 'bad'. Indeed, compensating a set of 10-46 in Drop D with my 25" PRS SE Custom has...

    https://www.tcelectronic.com/guitar/pedals/ $50 and a pedal covering most bases their existing, $100+ pedals cover - plus a fuzz pedal. Quite a cool, retro design aesthetic too. And vertical plugs! I don't see myself giving up valuable real-estate on my Pedaltrain Junior for a pedal...

    Covered vs Schaller Open Cover pickups?

    Hey, given that I enjoy raw tones with tonnes of definition, the prevailing consensus and a few YouTube clips collectively suggesting that open-coils will please me slightly more, have put me off pickup covers. That said, I'm not particularly happy with the two shiny, rounded lumps of plastic...

    Considering a set of IronGear pickups for my PRS and Telecaster.. £30 each!

    Hey, I’m looking for pickup sets for two guitars. PRS SE Custom 24 Tuned DADGBD with 10-54 strings - My go-to guitar, used for fast lead playing and riffing, with plenty of whammy bar. - Require tonnes of sustain, saturation, really clear harmonics and responsiveness. - I like the kind of...
