I have a set of Zexcoils in my strat and I absolutely love them. Any difference between those and standard non-noiseless pickups, like the Fender Texas Specials that came stock on the guitar, is so insignificant that I can't tell the difference in fidelity. I'm also perfectly fine with my tele's...

Weights might be a solution, I'll look into that. I actually use the strandberg branded strap though I've tried quite a few varieties of straps in order to reduce neck dive. The body on my Metal 7 is very light so I'm guessing it's chambered. Now I just gotta find some heavy object to stick in...

What has been your experience with neck dive? I have a strandberg Metal 7 and while I really like it, the neck dive on it is the worst I've ever experienced on a guitar. Thinking about having the horn strap-bolt moved to the front of the horn like it would be on a strat rather than pointing...

I try to never buy non-SS fretted guitars these days after having bought my strandberg and loving the frets on it. The thought of never having to have fretwork done or having that nagging feeling of wondering if one of your frets has been worn down enough to cause extra buzzing... that peace of...

Modelers have cured my GAS for amps, but not every modeler does it for me. Been using the Helix stuff for years and have never been fully satisfied with it's tones. Tried Kempers and I just don't like the format or the profile paradigm (that's a looong rabbit hole). I finally bought an FM3...

Just wanted to echo this opinion. I have a Metal 7 that came with Fluence Moderns and I didn't really like their split-coil sound much and the humbucker modes were just not as dynamic as I'm used to. I tried out Tosin Abasi's pickups as well but they still were far too compressed for my liking...

Severely lacking features and doesn't sound all that good from what I hear on the demos. Price is insane, especially considering that the Atomic Amplifirebox is a thing and it's cheaper, sounds amazing, and has a lot more features (though no stereo reverbs, but that's what pedals are for).

I've been using these with my Tosin Abasi pickups. They work great; last a LOT longer than traditional alkaline batteries. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078JMHHF8/?tag=sevenstringorg-20

I ended up selling my Helix LT and getting an HX Stomp instead because I didnt really need elaborate patches and I love the stomp form factor, and I have no need for MIDI controls. Unfortunatel I did that before 2.8 came out which introduced assigning switches to hotkeys and macros, which I...

If you have a particular fondness of Fender or Vox cleans and also like Mesa's cabs then I'd go with their Core Tone Bundle. There's a nice Marshall cab in there too which I use for a lot of things, though it doesn't really do metal all that well. I do like the Recto cab in there though and that...

I've tried packs from most of the well known IR brands. My recommendation is to buy a Heavy Hitter pack from OwnHammer and call it a day. They are incredibly high quality and offer a good amount of variety and their IR mixes are pretty dang good so you don't have to go through the trouble of...

Latency when using the Helix as an ASIO interface isn't quite as good as my Focusrite 18i8 but it's pretty close; unless you're trying to get sub-4ms roundtrip times then I think you'd be happy with that aspect.

I don't have any wiring suggestions on the Fluence Tosin Abasi pickups, but I will say that I never used my tone knob on any of my guitars until I installed a pair of these in my Strandberg Metal 7. Their single-voice tone, voice 3, is VERY bright and I'll frequently roll down the tone on them...
