Ground Control Pro is a good option as well....ruggedly built. I use the MFC now, but one feature I really miss from the GC Pro is that when you change banks, it scrolls through what presets are available in that bank, which is useful if you're using a lot of sounds... There's also the Liquid...

Cool. Yeah, I actually scored a deal on a FX8 MK2 with Fractal Expression Pedal on Guitar Center used the other day...so I have one of those on the way. I love my Axe 2, and it'll probably stay my main rig for the band, just because I can cover so much ground with it. Really, I use it like a...

Sounds like you've kind of landed on a refurb Macbook air and FM3...which sounds like a good solution for what you're doing with the opportunity to adapt it as your needs change...adding a loadbox with the fractal for fx, adding a dedicated interface, etc. Since your tube amps are hanging...

Congrats! I've been rocking a Dual Recto solo head for almost 20 years now, and it's a beast. They can be finicky, but for anyone thinking about grabbing an older one, swapping the preamp tubes to Electro-Harmonix improved the clarity quite a bit. It's a simple tweak that minimizes a lot of the...

You could probably get a Balaguer semi-custom around $2k…

Thanks man! We've been kicking around for awhile...it'll be 16 years in June...hard to believe. Will definitely be playing in the area again once we wrap up this record!

Hey all...my band's been chipping away at a follow-up to our 2018 ep and decided to do a little teaser in the form of releasing the first finished song. And then I decided to sink myself into After Effects for 3 days to cobble together a video for the release... Just wanted to share here. I...

Same. I used to use the CAE 3+ quite a bit but gravitated back to the Recto Red sound. I think Wes Hauch used one of the Cameron models when he was in The Faceless for 4 min.

Dat right hand though...

I really dig the Original 50w...it's one of the few high gain amps that I've played that doesn't really need a boost AND has a good clean channel. Even though I'm super committed to my Axe FX rig this will be very tempting....GAH!!! FORUM INDUCED GAS!!!! :barf:

I've been wanting to upgrade the case for my EBMM JPXI 7 string...the stock case is nice, but I want something a bit more weather resistant for lugging gear back and forth to practice and shows in rain and snow. the iSeries Strat/Tele case has caught my eye but I can't seem to determine if my 7...

I love my Mesa OS...also had the traditional which I also loved. Honestly, they’re not as different as they’re made out to be. Side by side they were really close to one another. I’d tend to agree that tightness in this case is less dependent on the cab and more on the amp. I loooooove my Dual...

Hard to beat the Matrix power amps...love my GT800fx with my Axe FX 2. I know Sergio Vega from Quicksand/Deftones uses the Axe FX with the Matrix GT1000fx for bass...

I’ve used the Dunlop Jazztones for years...they have both regular sizes and small teardrops. I like the 207 myself. I’m fairly certain these were the “gypsy jazz” picks that Petrucci based his new sig picks on...

VHT/Fryette 2/50/2 is hard to beat...

Yeah, I totally had to have the manual out in front of me...still do sometimes. Though now it's usually easier to just go to look for a youtube tutorial. I've been quite happy with my Axe FX 2...I'm one of the waitlist early adopters with a MK1. It took me awhile to get a sound I was happy with...

Thank you so much!!! We just put out a 3 song EP on band camp if you want to check it out: https://thearsonistsdaughter.bandcamp.com/album/mnemonist

So my band got it's start way back in 2004. We've gotten to play with some amazing metal bands...Suffocation, Vital Remains, Born of Osiris, Macabre, Mouth of the Architect, etc. but in 2014 we went on a hiatus (at the time I thought the band was just over...). This winter the drummer reached...

I've really stripped down and economized my rig over the years for many of these reasons...I went from a Head+rack with processor and pedal switcher + pedalboard w/ midi controller and volume pedal to a 4 space rack with a Power conditioner + Axe FX 2 +Matrix GT800 power amp + pedalboard w/...

An Ernie Ball VP Jr has been a staple of my rig for like 13-14 years. I use it to kill the guitar between parts/songs, clean up the spaces between notes for staccato playing, the occasional violin-y swell part, and to back off the gain a bit when needed. It's really become an integral part of my...
