    Voyager - Colours in the Sun

    This album popped up as a recommendation yesterday and I haven't stopped listening to it. Can't believe I've never heard nor heard of them before. This music makes me smile, just superb stuff. Anymore recommendations in the "prog-synth" world of (as one YT comment put it) Tesseract meets...

    NGD: Ibanez 90th

    For my 40th birthday, my wife totally surprised me with a JS90HAM. Absolutely delighted!

    Mic'ed Cab is super spikey through PA, IEM

    I usually mic my cab with an SM57. Pre- March 2020 I was using a Marshall 1912 and the mic sat off centre, angled into the speaker. Fast forward to this week past and I put the mic on the Marshall's replacement: a Mesa 2x12 3/4 back. In the room the cab is great, but through the IEMs it is WELL...

    Name this Ibby model

    Back in the mid 90s, I was the proud owner of an Epiphone SG. What I really wanted was an Ibanez, so imagine my delight when my mate (a few years my senior) bought one and let me play it. I have no idea what model, although it's clearly an RG of sorts. Any help in my nostalgia craving would be...

    Keeley Filaments and Triaxis

    I said in the new gear thread that I'd be giving the Keeley Filaments a go, and so I have. It was just rubbish into the Green and Yellow Rhythm modes - way too spikey for my taste. However, LD1 Green set just so to breakup - really liked it! So, for anyone who's interested here's a short...

    Dave Prowse - RIP

    Rest in Peace, lovely man. Thanks for teaching us to Stop, Look and Listen, as well as perform a force choke on those with a lack of faith.

    Pedal recommendations for a part-time bass player

    Yeah, so I'm a guitarist that has occasion to play bass. Pretty much every time it is at a venue that is silent stage, so straight out to a desk. I have use of a bass and cobble together a mini board with my guitar pedals, but I'm looking for something more suitable/permanent. In terms of the...

    Mesa Triaxis & 2:90 - Wet/Dry(ish)

    I posted in the "next guitar/gear purchase" thread that I was adding a Mesa 2x12 to my gear so that I could have my Triaxis/2:90 in a Wet/Dry setup. (Of course stereo is an option as well, but as of writing this thread I haven't done anything with that.) This is really just a brain dump of what...

    Delay trails mixer

    I'm looking for a solution to a problem I've probably created for myself, but hey, here goes... I've got a Gigrig G2 that has my Mesa Triaxis in the Volume Insert. To use this, I've "moved" it in the signal chain between loops 4 & 5. So far so good. Loops 7, 8, 9 and 10 have chorus, delay...

    Open string sustain problem

    That title might be an oxymoron, but bear with me... I have an Ibby RG752AHM-NGB - Lo-pro term, standard tuning - and run through a Mesa Triaxis/2:90 pair with a Marshall 1912 cab. Quite content with it, barring one thing: the open A sustains MUCH longer that all the other notes on the guitar...

    Palmer PGA-04 issue

    For the last few months I've noticed an audio degradation problem with my Palmer PGA-04 and it came to a head on Sunday afternoon. It is the 8ohm model to match the 8ohm output of the Mesa 2:90 (90w RMS which is well within the PGA-04's operating window). The output to the desk is the balanced...

    Normandy landings

    They'll never read this, but to the men who did what they did on those French beaches 75 years ago today: many thanks. I had three uncles on Gold beach, only knew two of them. Some of the stories makes you weep.

    RIP Bruno Ganz

    I know it became a meme and all, but I still watch Downfall from time to time. Captivating horror and the whole thing hinged on this man's performance. Easily in my top 5. RIP, Bruno. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47264709

    Ibby 3-way Blade

    I want to mod my RG752 from a 5-way to a 3-way switch, a la R3112A44L3. Anyone know the part? Not sure if it matters, but I'll also be adding a JS-style coil tap on the tone pot.

    Triaxis and MIDI sickness

    Unfotunately sick as in ill, not as in awesome... So my gear has been in the same location for about 4 weeks, no-one else touches it, and has been working fine until this morning. Rocked up today, powered up and found that the Triaxis was not moving presets in the usual fashion with my MIDI...

    NGD: Palmer PGA-04

    Ah, eBay - how we love you. Installed in the poweramp rack last night, should get a test out this evening :)

    Glasses on face

    A call out to my fellow bespectacled users of SSO... My glasses keep sliding down my nose during shows - usually because, let's be honest, the sweat is pouring. Without resorting to contacts and laser-eye surgery, what do you do keep your second pair of eyes in place and stop a librarian look...

    The Catalonia Question

    It's not in a good place, is it? Democracy is the will of the people being enacted, but only within the rules and framework of that democracy - we had that here in the UK in 2014. Surely the Spanish government must continue to enforce the rule of Spanish law and not surrender to rebellions and...

    Vintage age

    At what point does a guitar become vintage? 25 years? 30 years? Does need to be pre-1980 or will the pointy guitars of that decade soon be declared vintage like the Strats and LPs before them? Just musing...
