    Inflation in gear prices

    So for years I've wanted a Marshall Valvestate since they're used on some of my favorite albums. They're traditionally a pretty cheap amp and usually pretty easy to find as well. I've gone into pawn shops and seen them going for ~$200 easily throughout the years, and despite their cheap price...

    EMG Retro Active 7 String Sets - Experiences/Thoughts?

    Hi everyone I have been very intrigued by the EMG Retro Active sets lately. Curiosity is starting to get the better of me and I'm thinking about ordering a set. I've watched many reviews, videos, etc. (based on what I've heard so far, I'm leaning towards the Hot 70-7 set a little bit), but I...

    Axe Fx III - Good Overdriven + Clean Combinations?

    Hey all! Just got my Axe Fx III a few days ago and long story short, my incredibly high expectations were somehow exceeded by 10x. This thing is a monster. With that being said, I'm looking for some overdriven and clean amp models that fit pretty well together (i.e, the clean doesn't wash out...

    Angry-Looking 7 String Guitars

    I am in the market for buying a 7-string, and my complaint is that they all look so... refined. All I can find are superstrat shapes and, while I appreciate they are easiest to play, I really enjoy extreme guitar shapes (V, explorer, warrior is my all-time fav). I was wondering if you guys could...

    Reverb & Delay Combo Pedal Recommendations?

    Hi Everyone, it's been a while since I posted on here! I was looking to possibly add a delay & reverb combo pedal to my pedal board. Specifically combo because I like to keep my pedal board simple, just essentials. Was wondering if anyone on here had any recommendations for a good, yet compact...

    First time gigging live

It’s a small pub gig maybe 100 people and I’ll be stationed in the middle of the pub opposite the bar. I’m wondering if this set up will work. - takamine g series thinks its an eg440sc about 5 years old...

    How to achieve next level?

    Hi folks! I play in an instrumental metal band (post, djent, prog, death...) and we've recorded our second EP (just two songs haha). We're starting to get some tour dates and I've thought that it's time to get to the next level in terms of sound and gear. Actually, my gear is: - Epiphone LP...

    Drop F on a 28" scale 6 string

    Anyone else tuning to G/Drop F on a 6? I'm not much of an 8 string player (I will be, don't you worry) but I do a fair bit in that range on baritone 6's and 7's. Just wondering what string gauges you guys tend to throw on a low F on a 28in scale. Here's a link to a song in F my band threw out...

    How to get this sound?

    I've been playing for like, 10 years, but I haven't touched an actual tube amp (or effects pedals). I still own my first amp, the dreaded Line 6 Spyder, and that's the only experience I have with amps. I am going to start playing live and I will need to get a new amp/cab. I finally have money to...

    Gear history... '91-'17

    I wrote a bit of a blog about the various amps and pedals I've used over the years. It goes from a borrowed Kay combo (I didn't realise you needed an amplifier for an electric guitar) through to my current Fractal AX8 rig. Also covers a little bit about how I record stuff too. I'll do the...
